Summary

We love movies and we love video games but the two often go together like two things that don’t go well together. Holden talks us through the history of greedy publishers cashing in on popular movies by releasing terrible video games. We bring up the good, the bad, and Fight Club. Yes they made a game based on Fight Club and we are breaking the rules by talking about it. Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouth
