Im about to watch this for the first time

He carried the mags in one hand and grabbed a school book with the other hand

I dont get the tori amos jokes :p Can someone explain ??

The game can be played here. http://www.roguesynapse.com/games/last_starfighter.php

I feel like this is Centauri's underhanded influence. Starfighters are Honored by all races, which means those pilots are kinda public figures, right? Alex needs to keep it a secret from everyone on earth, hence the Beta unit. So I read this as Beta units being rare or secret tech.

Spin-off Doctors

Join your old friends Jim Sterling and Conrad Zimmerman as they get elbow-deep in licensed videogame material. Movies, TV shows, comics (but mostly movies), the doctors are here to examine. 

This week, we start with 2002's Resident Evil, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich. 

She kicked a zombie unconscious. 

The Spin-off Doctors: Resident Evil

"You created it all so you could live forever. Why?"

Your doctors are in the house to dissect House of the Dead, Uwe Boll's classic cinematic dog turd. 

Spaniards from Spain, gun continuity, Sega's island raves, and tits within minutes are all on the menu. Alongside some of the crappest zombies ever. 

The Spin-off Doctors: House of the Dead

Your doctors cut open the carcass of DOOM, discussing the total lack of demons, The Rock's sudden heel turn, and anachronistic videogame products. 

Oh, and don't worry... we spend quite some time talking about THAT little first-person segment. You know the one. 

The Spin-off Doctors: DOOM

Raul Julia's amazing performance, Vega's fabulous features, the war crimes of Van Damme, and also Kylie Minogue for some reason. 

These things and more combine, with some help from DNA MUTAGEN, to make an incredible comedy movie that's just like Rush Hour. 

Street Fighter: The Movie is a prequel narrative based entirely around clothes. It's brilliant. 

The Spin-off Doctors: Street Fighter - The Movie

In what may be their finest outing yet, your Spin-off Doctors skewer Mr. Olyphant's performance as Agent 47 in the ridiculous 2007 Hitman movie. 

Why doesn't the world's best killer have an alias? How has an Interpol agent pieced together the work of a ghost? Exactly what happened to any of the forgotten characters? 

Hitman 2007 isn't just a bad movie, it's infuriating. 

The Spin-off Doctors: Hitman (2007)

Complete nonsense. Absolutely, thorough, infuriating nonsense. That's the best way to describe Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. 

It's a shorter running time this week because the film has about ten minutes of plot running through 90 minutes of gibberish. 

Despite that, this is actually one of our most entertaining episodes. A triumph, considering what we were working with. 

The Spin-off Doctors: Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within

Join Jaime Pressly, Holly Valance, and Kevin Nash on DOA Island for one of the most surprising movies we've ever reviewed. 

DOA: Dead or Alive is surprisingly not terrible. In fact, it's actually rather funny. 

The Spin-off Doctors: Dead Or Alive

Dead Rising Watchtower is a strangely faithful film that attempts quite valiantly to be canon. Sort of. 

Rob Riggle steals the show and we learn all about the Internet Movie Firearm Database. 

What a time! 

The Spin-Off Doctors: Dead Rising Watchtower

Lara Croft is a littering, rude, privileged thug. That much we can ascertain from Angelina Jolie's licensed vehicle, Tomb Raider. 

Join your favorite movie boys for a rundown of this ol' movie - one of the better produced, but ultimately less fulfilling films we've gotten to look at. 

The Spin-offDoctors: Tomb Raider

The Last Starfighter comes to us from a simpler time, before Tori Amos took our innocence. 

Let's enjoy this 80s masterpiece, and lament the fate of an arcade playing cosmic doormat.

The Spin-off Doctors: The Last Starfighter

Dr. Isaacs and his mother lived alone in a small house on a hill...

Your favorite Movie Boys are back to look at the third film in the Resident Evil movie franchise... and it's not great. 

Idiot crows, a girl called K-Mart, and the Worst Wesker are all to be found in this wannabe Mad Max.

The Spin-off Doctors: Resident Evil Extinction

Two very confused men pick apart two hours of namedropping and excessive CGI to produce a shambles of a podcast. 

Considering what we were working with, it's amazing how well we pulled through. 

Next episode is Pixels. Help us all.

The Spin-off Doctors: Warcraft

Your movie boys are here to discuss Postal, a movie that's shocking in more ways than one. Sure, the content is offensive, but Uwe Boll made a... competent videogame movie? 

Let's discuss the jokes and the goofs in this violent jawdropper, while comparing it to how unfunny Pixels is.

The Spin-off Doctors: Postal

As a Christmas treat, your lovable Movie Boys pick one of the most anticipated movies to cover in their hot analysis. 

Join us as we take a merry look at Super Mario Bros.

The Spin-off Doctors: Super Mario Bros.

Oh hello there, it's time to have a bad time. We call this time the Bad Time Time. 

Wing Commander is not a very good movie, but we watched it anyway. A 1999 movie that looks like it was made in the 1980s, featuring a plot that makes no sense, a lack of antagonists, and the worst space navy in the universe, it's one of those films that might have been entertainingly bad if it wasn't just plain bad. 

Anyway, your Movie Boys try and make it interesting for you.

The Spin-off Doctors: Wing Commander

Ed Furlong and T. Ryder Smith team up to create a movie that could have been a B movie classic if it didn't get everything so very wrong. 

Nevertheless, a personal favorite and an interesting curio for those into game-themed cinema. Yes indeed.

The Spin-off Doctors: Brainscan
