Episode 679: Doom (The 2005 Movie) (Patreon)

Doom took over the gaming landscape in the early '90s, but emerged just as the first wave of video game movies hit theaters. So when the 21st century was upon us, Hollywood decided to strike while the iron was still kind of warm and delivered us a Doom movie starring none other than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. But did this silver screen adaptation faithfully translate the white-knuckle, heavy metal, hell on earth vibe of the id Software classic? On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Diamond Feit, and supergreatfriend as the crew looks back on Doom 20 years later to determine whether or not it's a BFG (Beautiful Film that's Good).
