Haven\u2019t seen \u2018Borderlands,\u2019 the latest video game movie? You have chosen wisely. Ben, Rob Mahoney, and Matt James chose poorly, and they\u2019re here to report on the brand-new box office flop. They begin by bantering about the demise of Game Informer and the end of the era of video game magazines (6:00). Then they review \u2018Borderlands\u2019 (16:00) and discuss how it got made (36:00) and why it became a debacle that snapped a streak of strong game adaptations (44:24). They conclude by weighing whether \u2018Borderlands\u2019 is the worst movie to feature multiple Oscar winners (52:00), comparing it to previous video game movie misfires (53:00), fantasy-casting their own improbably star-studded video game movies (59:00, and picking the upcoming adaptations they\u2019re most anticipating (1:05:00).\n\nHost: Ben Lindbergh\nGuests: Rob Mahoney and Matt James\nProducer: Devon Renaldo\nAdditional Production Support: Arjuna Ramgopal\nLearn more about your ad choices.
