Slop Season Two
The time has come for the ultimate showdown! In season 2 of "that audio show about moving images" Jason and Jon have committed themselves to a cause. This spin around the centrifuge of life we intend to separate the curds from the whey as we inspect the goopy bits of cinema that are Video Game Adaptations!
Using the most advanced methods (science, brackets & Mack) we intend to finally end the debate over which VGM is the ruler of them all. So fill up your life bar and prepare to despair as we nearly run out of "dudes" in the Slop to the Death tournament for the most prized prize of all… The Golden Eagle Cup!

030 This Time it's Polygonal (A Format Change)
Oh no! The larder is bereft of pork rinds and Sir Bacon bits... what is a growing podcast to do?
This week Jon and Jason assemble a veritable brain trust to find the answer to the ultimate question "what stunt programming techniques could we substitute in our Bacon Casserole of a show?". If you answers anything that involving the words "Chips" or "Cheese" you may be onto something Dear Listener! Listen now and hear how you can help save the day!
042 Super Mario Bros.
In the second season of Cinema Slop we're taking a long hard look at video game movies in an attempt to win a bar bet. So settle into your jump suits and power boots because shits about to get weird. To start things out we dig into Super Mario Bros. It's a movie for the ages. The ages 6 and 48 only from what we can tell.
043 Double Dragon
This week watch with misty eyes as Scott Wolf Fist-Fives his way into the heart of Alyssa Milano... at until he loses control of his half of the magical medallion in Double Dragon.
044 Street Fighter
Moving forward, or in this case laterally towards the center, we continue to one of the most venerated game franchises of all time Street Fighter. Hide your hatchback's kids things are about to get dangerous!
045 Mortal Kombat
In an epic showdown for the ages Jon & Jason go toe-to-toe with death risking annihilation. But when the critical moment arrives they refuse to accept the match saving the day! In this weeks episode the mega-super-ensemble film Mortal Kombat lurks in the shadows taking the form of gummy worm waiting to attack!
046 Wing Commander
Star Log Entry #0205-1999. This week Wing Commander Deveraux is being a total jerk bag again. She told me to wash my underwear out and said I can't play bumper fighter anymore. She's such a drag.
I'm going to run away.

047 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
After last weeks movie-equivalent of batting-at-string Jason, Jon and Mack are ready to doff their fedoras and set off on their Indiana Jo... cough sorry... their Lara Croft: Tomb Raider adventure. Needless to say we are much relieved to be doing something that isn't a 1v1 stand-up combat game.
048 Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Fatigued by all the running and jumping from last week Jon, Jason and Mack venture into the blissful surreal world of eco-sci-fi-action in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Hopefully "the spirits" are whiskey and "within" means my stomach.
049 Doom
Now that we're all over the shock of not living in a world where the 87th most attractive woman of 2001 actually exists... we have to get our asses to mars.
050 Silent Hill
We now venture one jaunty pop-and-lock step in time forward into a previously unexplored sub-genre of video game film... the video game horror movie! Get you're stethoscopes & hot cop badges ready because we're going to throw this baby into the well in Silent Hill!
051 Hitman
This week on Hitman you'll believe a hardened killer can pontificate like a 2nd semester philosophy student... for far too long and without reaching a satisfying conclusion.
Pull up a stool and join in... this round of Haterade is on us.
052 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
This time Prince of Persia! Because Assassin's Creed wouldn't load.
053 The Angry Birds Movie
This week we ran down our cell phone batteries trying to figure out why someone created The Angry Birds Movie.
054 Warcraft: The Beginning
We're nearing the end of this season & we are very tired. Jason is just a bleached skeleton giving the middle finger and Jon is down to just one prospector gold tooth he calls 'Chomper' that he uses to bite his beer cans open. Mack is crouched in the corner muttering something about 'building a snowman'. So this week we're going to save some energy and just give you "the beginning". Have fun with Warcraft.
055 Tomb Raider (2018)
After losing a grog drinking competition to Professor Groglots the Drinktackular Orc The Slop lost track of its surroundings, personal history and sense of object permanence long enough to watch Tomb Raider! A film we probably had never seen before!
056 Rampage
George a giant gorilla that's definitely not King Kong teams up with a crocodile? Wait that's not right. George teams up with a giant lizard-not-lizard that's definitely not Godzilla and a wolf? What the hell? And the Rock plays a primatologist? Thats Rampage y'all.
057 Pokémon Detective Pikachu
Ladies & gentleman when it comes to podcasting we want to be the very best. Like no one ever was! To discuss movies is our real test... to watch them is our cause. We travel across the media platforms searching far & wide. Each film to understand the power that's inside. Movies! Got to watch em all! It's you and me and you. I know its our destiny! Pokémon Detective Pikachu!
058 VGMT Round 1 Set 1
Round One of the The Golden Eagle Cup is finally here. Why? Because what's the point of having hard crusted candy shells if you can't smash them together and see which one survives?! On to the damage.. I mean action!
059 VGMT Round 1 Set 2
Round One of the The Golden Eagle Cup is finally here. Why? Because what's the point of having hard crusted candy shells if you can't smash them together and see which one survives?! On to the damage.. I mean action!
060 VGMT Round 2
Round One is finally over, now it's time to see which action figures make it out of the fiery pit that is Round Two.
