The Dumbest Thing We Saw This Week (+ NFL & Video Game Rants) | Dad Blast

from The Dad Voice Podcast · host The Dad Voice Podcast

You cannot make a 10-hour video game into a 2-hour movie word-for-word. Today on The Dad Voice, we’re cutting the brakes on a massive Dad Gripe regarding video game adaptations. We are calling out the purists who demand that movies and TV shows be note-for-note replicas of the source material. Why do people expect a medium built on player agency to translate perfectly into a passive viewing experience? It makes no sense, and we're breaking down why creative liberties are actually a good thing. We also dive into the utter stupidity of the Chud the Builder because he sucks and he's lame and deserves to be made fun of. Plus, we’re breaking down the newly announced NFL schedule release, looking at the biggest primetime matchups, bye weeks, and who got absolutely screwed by the schedule makers. In this episode: Chud the Builder: Breaking down the self-inflicted disaster. NFL Schedule Drop: Our instant reactions to the primetime slates. Dad Gripe of the Week: Why 1-to-1 video game movie adaptations are a terrible idea. NEW TO THE DAD BLAST? The Dad Blast is our unfiltered, high-energy companion to The Dad Voice Podcast. It’s built for the dads who have 47 browser tabs open and a brain that never stops. No structure, no rules, just Dad Voice.
