Episode 16 - Tomb Raider Trailer Reactions and Video Game to Film Adaptations (w/Gerald Glassford)

What's up dudes, dudettes and other great human beings? We're back with another episode of the only podcast on the Internet. On this episode we're joined by our good friend Gerald Glassford over at the Pop Culture Cosmos and a first time podcaster Johnny Warrick. Josh wants us to react to the brand new Tomb Raider trailer starring Alicia Vikander, and then we talk about video game to film adaptations and why they've failed over the years, taking a look at films like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Super Mario, Doom, etc. Josh thinks it's because people go in wanting to hate them. Gerald has very little faith in them. Danial hasn't seen very many. Bryan Kane PhD thinks Alicia Vikander is hot, and he's right. We discuss Assassin's Creed starring Michael Fassbender and ask the important question, will this new Tomb Raider film end the bad stigma of poor game adaptations in theaters? We also take a look at the history of the Tomb Raider franchise and their latest reboots.  This episode of Topicocalypse is brought to you by the Pop Culture Cosmos.
