Popcorn Culture - Supercut: Movies Based On Games

Do you wanna play a game? In the spirit of Netflix's Squid Game that's currently taking pop culture by storm, we're dedicating this Supercut to Movies and TV shows based on games. Whether they're classics like Tron or more recent blockbusters like Ready Player One, we talk about what makes these movies work, why they sometimes fall short, and what we'd like to see more of in the future.
