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.

Pitch Party: Romeo + Juliet
For the final Pitch Party episode within the “Sexy Swordfights” theme, Devon, Bart and Alexis discuss entirely fabricated adaptations of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. While there have been countless versions of the play performed on stages across the globe, and several filmmakers have taken cracks at bringing the story to the screen, very few R + J video games exist. Devon and Bart present alternate histories where Luhrmann’s gaudy 1996 film spawned some role-playing video games in which players could place themselves within the shoes of the titular star crossed lovers…and their friends? Ultimately, Alexis must decide which pitch should be willed into existence
