Every Damn Frame of "Resident Evil Retribution" (2012)

We're back! 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 (https://acondigital.com/products/rest...)  which played a huge role in rescuing the audio sabotaged by Riversi- I mean, the Red Queen.
