Episode 143 - Tetris (2023)

This is it! We have (for the time being) reached the FINAL episode of the Video Game Cinematic Universe In Review, and we are thrilled to out with a genuine, proper film that's actually good. While not an adaptation of the game, Tetris tells the story of Henk Rogers' battle to obtain the publishing rights to what would eventually become one of the most important video games of all time. The film has its flaws but is really enjoyable overall. Thank you so much for listening! Next week we'll have another Japan-centric travel episode before moving onto our next review series: The Jordan Peele-Henry Selick Cinematic Universe.
