The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast
The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast is an excuse to play licensed video games and give them their (usually undeserved) moment in the spotlight. Host Devon Dozlaw, and a rotating cast of guest co-hosts, watch the films and TV shows that these cash grab video games are ostensibly based on, suffer through the tie-ins, and then sit down to discuss how well the developers honoured their respective licenses, making fun of the games whenever possible.

OMGP: From Russia With Love
For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Shawn finally cover a James Bond game. There have been many James Bond video games across various consoles, but From Russia With Love has a special charm to it. The game was made in between Pierce Brosnan’s tenure as Bond and that of his successor Daniel Craig, and the developers decided to use the limbo period to show some love to the classic Connery era. For this game, Sean Connery reprised the role for the final time, voicing his iconic Agent 007. The game is a bit of a love better to Connery’s Bond, as it works in vehicles and gadgets from some of his other films as well. The game takes Bond through the events of From Russia With Love, but adds in some of its own scraps, and even new characters. Devon and Shawn embrace their love for Bond as they compare the second official film in the franchise to the 2005 tie-in for PS2/Xbox/Gamecube
