Our podcast software tried to kill us but luckily we injected it with a special parasite that lets it drive motorcycles and still upload podcasts! This week our hosts discuss 2012's Resident Evil Retribution written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring lots of old friends who might have to die to pay the gamer tax on the new friends. Franchise talk gets super interesting as we hurtle towards The Final Chapter and we encounter our first "intended to be shot back-to-back with the next installment" - a mainstay of the franchise ecosystem. Plus: Proof that Alice can wear normal clothes! And a totally useless post-credits sequence.

Other Topics This Week:

  • Channeling Derek Zoolander
  • Love-Inhibiting Sleeves
  • A Shortage of Action Boys with Swoopy Hair
  • 3D maps of Brutal Murders
  • Adapting a Video Game by Adapting the Experience of Playing a Video Game
  • New Business Models and Industrial Espionage for the Umbrella Corporation

Meanwhile, the graveyard sweater has been holding a Superlative since Episode One, will anything topple it as Alice's Worst Outfit? And are our hosts even sure it's a sweater? 

 

Show Notes:

Kind of nutso that we utterly failed to make the connection that Li Bingbing is the lead actress in The Meg. With her actual human voice. 

Also MASSIVE SHOUTOUT this week to Acon Digital Restoration Suite which played a huge role in rescuing the audio sabotaged by Riversi- I mean, the Red Queen.

Whose convoy? You know whose convoy! Accept no substitutes! Join us as we discuss every damn frame of Russel Mulchay's 2007 film Resident Evil Extinction, written by Milla Jovovich's now-husband Paul W.S. Anderson. We use the power of our minds not to manipulate firestorms but instead go deep on the concept of a trilogy versus a series, as well as the business of filmmaking in the early 00's and the business plans of the Umbrella Corporation.

  • Great around-the-horn ensemble introductions
  • Jesse's love for K-Mart
  • Chekov's crow
  • Why women deserve convoys

  • Pillow talk in the Anderson/Jovovich household

SHOW NOTES

Some notes on Wolf Cuts

Jesse is quite chagrined at the number of times he maligns Jefferson Airplane in both this and the next episode. The song is of course called "White Rabbit" and not "Go Ask Alice" and the Resident Evil Extinction cover is by Collide

Your Raccoon Squad of Liz, Jesse, and Asa can finally dig into the art and business of franchises because there are now two installments, but the biggest cliffhanger of the episode can only be answered if Snoop Dogg or a close associate cares to get in touch and reveal it!

  • How to Recognize a Movie Scientist

Carlos Oliviera looks like this in the Capcom game.

Somehow 2 out of 3 of us got the hang of pronouncing “Jovovich” but Ms. Jovovich, we are truly sorry, we ALL seem to have fallen into the very stupid trap of now somehow mispronouncing “Milla.”

Oh, and it appears Capcom named it Raccoon City on purpose to make it sound "more American." Ford Prefect approves.
