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: Fantastic Four
In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon and Hudson sit down to look at another superhero tie-in from the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era. Fantastic Four shares some gameplay elements with other co-op beat em ups like Shrek 2 and X-Men Legends, but it takes some bizarre liberties with its plot. Instead of locking themselves away to conduct tests and to try and find a way to reverse the effects of their accident on the space station, our heroes find themselves battling mummies, dinosaurs, giant spiders and a half dozen random villains from Fantastic Four comics. As the members of Marvel’s classic quartet travel to different areas of New York (let alone different continents and dimensions) they have plenty of opportunities to hone their skills, set aside their differences and learn to work as a team in this comic book-loving movie adaptation.
