Surprisingly low on S.T.A.R.S.-power
Cards on the table here: I love Resident Evil, I love movies, and I enjoy (most) Resident Evil movies. This is a podcast I wanted to be on BUT the Japanese distributor of this newest film decided to hold it in reserve for a few weeks, so as of this writing I still haven’t seen it yet.
I say this because my diligence as a movie lover means I have not listened to this episode hosted by Bob Mackey with returning voices Stuart Gipp and Jess O’Brien so I have no idea what their takeaway is, nor do I know what if any comparisons they made to the many previous movies/games. I can’t even make a Resident Evil-themed joke here because I don’t know if they make the same joke on the air! What IS this??
Description: After 24 years of disappointment, it finally happened: they made a great Resident Evil movie—which also happens to be a great regular movie. Yes, thanks to abandoning any notion of lore and tapping into the creative talents of director Zach Cregger, this latest adaptation of Capcom’s survival horror series manages to evoke the spirit of the games, even if it lacks the iconic characters and monsters. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Stuart Gipp and Jess O’Brien (AKA Voidburger) as the crew searches the now-snowy streets of Raccoon City in search of survivors and fatherhood issues.
