As summer finally technically begins, our summer miniseries follow suit, and what better way to kick off our Summer of Games than with a video game adaptation? Enter 2010’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, a very very long and trite would-be magical epic starring a bunch of noted white people amidst some fairly rote sandy scenery. Leigh leads the discussion as someone who is very much a fan of the source material, with Chris lending his support, and Brendan in third place trying to figure out what came from the video game and what was just tossed in as an attempt to make this whole thing feel like a movie. Listen in as we discuss the origins of the story, the weird sidelining of any fun aspects of the video game, and the needlessly complicated evil plan the movie tries to keep effectively spinning. Also, there’s some FIFA-flavored potato chip chat and a suitably refreshing cocktail that’s easier to take than this movie.
