Summary

The Borderlands movie opened last weekend, and we've got things to say about it. It also underwhelmed at the box office, putting it on track to be a major flop - but will it flop as hard as the videogame-based movies in this week's Top 5, all of which lost millions in theaters? While we wait to see, we'll get into The Crush House, SteamWorld Heist II, Beetlejuice in MultiVersus, and the first game magazines you remember reading. Question of the Week: What’s a piece of pop culture or media that's generally regarded as terrible, but you'll die on a hill to defend anyway? Break song is Ain't No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant. Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.
