This is the podcast about movies, videogames, and the sparks that fly when those worlds collide! Each week, Steve Guntli, Jennifer Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm will watch a movie and then play the video game based on that movie to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, similarities, and differences between the two mediums to see how they complement, or contradict, each other!

Behold, the beginning of the Dark Universe! This week, we're watching the misbegotten 2017 Tom Cruise franchise non-starter THE MUMMY, digging into the failed plans for a massive cinematic universe and trying to figure out just what went wrong. Then, we're playing the surprisingly great game adaptation, THE MUMMY DEMASTERED, a Metroidvania-style adventure with some great pixel art and a few ideas that just might be too clever for its own good.

Welcome to CinemArcade, the podcast about movies, video games, and the sparks that fly when those worlds collide! Each week on this show, we're going to watch a movie and then play it's corresponding video game to see how the two media contradict or complement each other. For this, our very first episode, we thought we'd start with the grandaddy, a movie that redefined blockbusters for a generation with a game that literally almost killed the video game industry. We're talking E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking smash hit, as well as it's Atari 2600 tie-in, which people wanted to smash and hit and literally broke ground to get rid of it! See what we did there?
