Episode 54 - Pokemon 2000

A wild crappy film appears! With the summer film season in full swing, we revisit the sophomore slump of 1999's Pokemon 2000(?)

We're talking the franchise's waning popularity, the film's insistence on not naming its main villain, lousy dialogue rife with exposition and its decision to not focus on Pikachu. Also: a noble yet pointless comparison to Italian neo-realism, fanboy reviews out the wazoo and a familiar face appears as our next film is revealed.


Big hate in this one. Don't miss it!

Episode 35 - Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

Video Game Negative reaches its final stage, as the boys take on the incredibly awful beat 'em up sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Could this be the most formulaic film ever made? Would you believe $30 million dollars could produce "special" effects so laughable? How harrowing can a film that yells its own name be? 


Plus, we read out your thoughts, opinions and experiences of the franchise, the film gets a startling comparison to a David Fincher film, and it comes down to a bloody, brutal game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide the next episode's film.
