Have Movies, Will Game! is an irreverent and whimsical podcast that takes movies new and old off the big screen to a round-table discussion, bringing them to your gaming table. Join Matthew, Dusty, and Nathanael every two weeks (or thereabout) as they break down different movies, share their own takes of what made those movies great (or awful!), and then give you advice on how you can find gaming inspiration from them for use at your tabletop role-playing group. Each episode features a different movie and a new multitude of gaming options! It's a good half-and-half mix of movie trivia, trope breakdowns, and the tabletop gaming advice born from that critique - with a healthy helping of friendly comedy!

A thousand years ago, this land was green and good, until the Crystal cracked! This week we're doing the great puppetry masterwork, Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal. Does it hold up to the ravages of time? Listen and find out!
This was a really fun episode to record for all of us. Listen in for a deep dive into the background of this film, and stick around for a breakdown of gaming themes and ideas on how you can find inspiration for your home games!
Starting with our next episode, we're going to be trying a new tweak to our format and release schedule. If you've been listening to us since the beginning, then you might have an idea what we're going to try doing. We hope it works out and keeps the coming content fresh and awesome, so stick around and find out alongside us!

Welcome to another listener-voted episode, this time bringing you the winner of our "monster animals" bracket: Snakes on a Plane! (insert that inevitable quote here).
This episode, like the movie, is shorter, but still really fun. Despite being an internet meme over-hyped sensation, Snakes lands solidly on the "enjoyable" side of the scale, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording. After our thoughts on the movie in the first half, stick around for a breakdown of RPG themes in the second half!
Releasing shortly after this episode, we recorded another special bonus "alternate first half" for this one, doing our take on the movie Sharknado. We'll be putting that out as patron-exclusive content on our Patreon Page, so if you want to hear that head on over and check it out. And thanks!

Episode 0035 - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Tuesday, January 29, 2019 • Duration 01:32:19
I AM THE TERROR THAT FLAPS -- wait that's a different story. This time we're doing the Batman movie most voted on by our listeners: Mask of the Phantasm!
Thanks for participating in our voting rounds, everyone! When last we put out a poll, it was to see which of the proposed Batman films y'all most wanted to hear us jam on. Winning with a landslide was Mask of the Phantasm, the only animated option on the list. This was quite surprising for us, and led to a very active discussion! Tune in to hear our collected thoughts on the movie, and stick around for some tabletop gaming advice based on its contents.

Copious amounts of human and alien death await in the 1997 cult classic, Starship Troopers!
And let's face it: you're here for peewee nukes and wholesale Bug Murder, right? Right! So stick around after the movie talk, and join us as we break out some of the major gaming themes, and talk about what games and approaches we think would make for inspired tabletop RPG play.

Yippie ki-yay, monkey fighters! We're back to talk about Dusty's favorite so-called "Christmas movie" DIE HARD.
Every year around this time, everyone on the internet gets into arguments about what their favorite Christmas Movie is. Within the first minute of said conversations, someone is going to mention Die Hard, and then the conversation usually explodes (unless everyone just nods along knowingly, as they should be rarely do). Dusty chose the movie this time around, sticking to his guns (ho ho ho!) and calling it solidly. And well frickin' done too, as we had a blast talking about this great "Everyman vs The Terrersts!" flick.
Simultaneous to the launch of this episode we've finally decided to put up our brand new Patreon campaign, too. We've been toying with this idea for a few months now, but didn't want to launch until we felt that we had a good chunk of solid content upon which to build our name. For those of you who have been eager to get your hands on the piles of behind the scenes and other bonus content we've been stockpiling, here's your chance! Head on over to that link to see what all we're offering, and check out the things already in that exclusive feed.

Episode 0032 - Conan the Barbarian (1982)
Wednesday, November 21, 2018 • Duration 01:48:29
What is good in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and listen to this podcast with their women after they're gone. By Crom, it's our Conan episode!
We're FINALLY doing Conan the Barbarian, one of the greatest adventure movies of all time. Unfortunately, Matthew could not make it to the recording session, so in his place we brought our friends Poppy and Alex to join us and gab over how much we love this goddamn movie. This one's another long episode, as we had a lot to say on it!

Episode 0031 - Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
Tuesday, October 23, 2018 • Duration 01:14:45
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin', We're gonna do what they say can't be done. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.
This time we're hauling ass back to 1977 to take a high-speed interstate drive through Smokey and the Bandit. Burt Reynolds left us this year and crossed that great Moustache Bridge in the sky, so we wanted to do a little tribute to him through this podcast. Our main focus game of the evening is the apocalypse-powered Spirit of 77 which almost perfectly captures the feel of this classic film.

Episode 0030 - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1967)
Tuesday, October 9, 2018 • Duration 01:29:20
This week we're jamming on one of the greatest western epics of all time: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly!
We're back with another long one, as we had a lot to say about this one. If not the greatest western of all time, it's certainly in the top three, and I'll guarantee you that the other two films in that list would also be Sergio Leone creations. There are a lot of good behind the scenes bits we jam for this one, followed by a wonderful passionate discussion about game options.
Also, we apologize for some minor technical annoyances. NPC experimented with an altered mic placement to test out some possible future tweaks to the recording process, but the end result was not as good as expected. Hopefully they were smoothed out enough during editing that you won't notice them!

Monday, September 24, 2018 • Duration 01:19:59
EPISODE 29: THE COSTNERING. Listen to us suffer along with Matthew as we bash on his "favorite" actor!
Seriously, how did I not remember how truly awful this movie actually was? And why were the 90s so obsessed with Kevin Costner? ye gods, folks. This one's a fun horseride through a forest of irreverent merriment, so hop on and enjoy!

Alright alright alright alright alright! Best thing about Dazed and Confused is, I get older, and it keeps driving home that nostalgic charm every time. It'd be a lot cooler if you gave this episode a listen, alright? But you can't keep the bowling ball, sorry.
