Multimedia FailureMultimedia Failure 80 – Ace Attorney (with The Diad and Bedroth) Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are joined by The Diad and Bedroth from The Movie Bar as two different and very specific podcast ideas collide! We combine our expertise in video game movies with their expertise in movies that have something to do with the legal system because we watched Ace Attorney, an adaptation of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney! Jason was a guest on The Movie Bar for the same movie, so if you want more of the Ace Attorney talk with more actual legal context, go check to that episode! If you want to cha...2022-10-0100 min

Multimedia FailureMultimedia Failure 79 – Pokémon: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice (with Jessie Obando) Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are once again joined by Jessie Obando! Listen as Jessie talks about watching her first Pokémon movie since the original and as Jason, Vanessa, and John talk about this now being their fifteenth they’ve watched together! And maybe, just maybe, most of this podcast crew was fated to do this together since before podcasts were a thing! And because we’ve been a little sporadic (thanks, Jason), you get the bonus segments that are normally reserved for our $3 and up Patreon supporters for free! Support us on Patreo...2022-09-1400 min

Multimedia FailureMultimedia Failure 2022 Summer Special – Best in Show (with Michael Hitchcock) Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are once again taking their summer break from video game movies. This time, we’re watching another of Jason’s favorite movies, Best in Show! And since Jason is friends with one the stars, Michael Hitchcock joins us to share stories about this Christopher Guest classic! Adding around 50 minutes to the episode for our $3 and up Patreon backers, Michael chats with the gang, tells more tales about his experience in Hollywood, and finds out that John is the youngest one of us. Over. And over. And over again. Supp...2022-07-0600 min

Multimedia FailureMultimedia Failure 76 – Pokémon the Movie: Black – Victini and Reshiram AND Pokémon the Movie: White – Victini and Reshiram Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero watch Pokémon the Movie: Black – Victini and Reshiram, the first of the Generation V movies. Jason had the… pleasure… of watching both Black as well as White – Victini and Reshiram for the podcast to fill in Vanessa, John, and you in on the differences between the two. Adding around 30 minutes to the episode for our $3 and up Patreon backers, the crew adds a few more Legendary and Mythical Pokémon to their heirarchical list of god-like Pokémon!

Multimedia FailureMultimedia Failure 75 – Red Faction: Origins (with Michael Hughes) Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are joined by Michael Hughes to talk about Red Faction: Origins. This made-for-TV movie was to serve as a pilot for a potential TV series on SyFy. Did Origins bomb as bad as Red Faction: Armageddon, the game it was to serve as the prequel for? Listen in and find out. Adding around 30 minutes to the episode for our $3 and up Patreon backers, Jason has a quiz prepared on Red Faction. If that’s not enough, he also talks about watching Pokémon: The Johto Journeys with his kids. Come for...2022-04-2700 min

Multimedia FailureMultimedia Failure 74 – Dead Space: Aftermath Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are going back for one more run into the bleak future that is Dead Space. As the movie that bridges the gap between Dead Space and Dead Space 2, it fills in some blanks, but how much does that actually help? And once again, this movie, despite rather graphic depictions of violence, is still strangely horny. Our bonus segment adds another 30 minutes of the show for our $3 a month and up Patreon backers. On the backend, Jason talks about watching Trigun with his kids, tries to get John to watch the...2022-04-0600 min

Multimedia FailureMultimedia Failure 72 – Resident Evil: Afterlife Vanessa Cahill, John Lucero, and Jason Arriola are, much like this movie, in 3D! Except no one gives a damn about 3D movies anymore and we’re an audio-only podcast, but just know we tried it just for you! Anyway, once again, the Resident Evil movie series rears its head back up. Our bonus segment adds another 25 minutes of the show for our $3 a month and up Patreon backers.

Multimedia FailureMultimedia Failure 70 – King of Fighters Charge up your 2010 Bluetooth headset! Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are going into another dimension and entering the weird, Canadian-made King of Fighters movie. And our bonus segments add another 30 minutes of the show for our $3 a month and up Patreon backers. We talk about stuff that’s made us happy (because this movie sure didn’t) like both Rainbow Six Vegas games, both Battlefield: Bad Company games, Halo: Infinite, Peacemaker, and Vanessa coming to a realization about the Banjo-Kazooie games. And to wrap up, John reads off a list of Nintendo 64 games to Jason and...2022-02-0949 min

Rock Out With Your Cart OutROWYCO 20 – SEGA AGES OutRun -Music Collection- Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez do something a little different this time. Rather than look at the soundtrack to one game, we look at a compilation album. A certain friend of the show was kind enough to send Jason a copy of SEGA AGES OutRun -Music Collection, so we decided it would be a good idea to talk about this soundtrack that just scratches the surface of the more than three decades worth of awesome music from OutRun.

Coming between the controversial Skyward Sword and the fantastic Breath of the Wild, A Link Between Worlds is often forgotten when discussing Zelda games that have come out in the last 15 years.
