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: Blair Witch
In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Project, Devon and Camille sit down to compare the Blair Witch movies to the Blair Witch video game from 2019. Since this is a Halloween episode, they warm up by shooting the breeze about horror movies, each sharing some of their faves from various eras. From there, they examine the plot, characters and setting of the game, making connections, and identifying big differences between the game and the films. Since the game is newer than most of the games we cover on the show, the developers were able to make a fairly immersive and eerie “lost in the creepy woods” experience, and the game’s dimension-warping puzzles, time jumps, and multiples endings make it fresh even for big fans of the movie(s).
