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.

Episode 34 - Street Fighter: The Movie

The gang are back for round 2 of their Video Game Negative season, and it's a big one, the infamous Street Fighter: The Movie. A knockout or a defeat? Tune in to find out. Featuring a nefarious plot to restore the value of the pound, serial killer paintings, bad guy PR agencies and much, much more. Check it out!

Episode 33 - Super Mario Bros: The Movie

It was only a matter of time before the Vid Neg crew got to grips with one of cinema's stinkiest, the infamous Super Mario Bros: The Movie. Anger is always the order of the day on this show, but hoo boy, do the gang get riled up in this one. Their live tweeting was only a taste of things to come. Just what is this film? Why did the filmmakers turn one of the most beloved franchises into some weird Mad Max/David Lynch fever dream? What's with the portrayal of plumbing as some sort of action-packed, danger-filled endeavour? And why is this film nothing like the game? Fuck it, the hosts get seriously pissed off in this one. Don't miss out!

Episode 32 - Predator 2

You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge. The Vid Neg crew return to the City of Angels to take on 1990's Predator 2. A bit more discussion based than previous episodes (which means it's even less funny than usual), we tackle the racial undertones of Pred's character design, bemoan the lack of Gary Busey madness and Dan confesses his undying love for Bill Paxton. One character's choice of attire enrages an IMDB reviewer and we give a shout out to a fledgling indie film looking for you help.

Episode 31 - Captain America

Seen Civil War? Liked it? Good for you, just be glad you didn't have to watch Cap's 1990 affair, the appropriately and inventively titled Captain America. Vid Neg's latest episode sees the gang focus their rockets' red glare on the film's misguided machine gun slaughters, Steve Rodgers' less than heroic (criminal) tendencies as the eponymous character, and a twenty minute sojourn in Rome - all as the world is about to end (or some shit). Also featured, an infomercial for history's greatest speeches, and is Sam, the conspiracy theorist-obsessed journalist, responsible for all of the world's tragedies? By the dawn's early light, don't miss out on this one! 

Episode 30 - Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie

Requested by Brett Millen and the Wrestling Rewind Podcast, the Vid Neg crew sit down to review 1995's piss poor Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie. Firmly in the "nostalgia buster" category, any good memories of the classic TV show are dashed by 97 minutes of repetitive action, dull characters and shapeless plotting. What's with all the backflips? Why do the Rangers drag their heels when time is so clearly of the essence? And does walking off a ledge really constitute falling to your doom? All the hard-hitting questions answered in this mighty, morphin' episode!

Episode 29 - Barb Wire

The latest episode sees Video Negative take on Pamela Anderson's double D dud Barb Wire. After the semi-enjoyment of Kazaam, the gang are back in familiar territory with this one. Across the board in awfulness, this Casablanca clone gets wrapped up in uniformly terrible performances, exposition out the wazoo and a deceptively complicated story. Why is everything blue? Why does everything have to explained? How come even the antagonist sucks? Plus, the worst cinematic fist bump caught on film and three of the unlikeliest inductees into the Vid Neg Hall of Fame. Don't miss this one!
