Welcome to Podcast vs Player #142! After the critical and commercial flop of the original Doom movie in 2005, many fans of the early-90s' first-person shooter game agreed the Doom universe was probably best left as that: a game. But if Hollywood is good for anything, it's bleeding a once-popular franchise dry, and with the game series' recent revival, someone somewhere decided we needed a movie reboot. Now the trailer for Doom: Annihilation has dropped, and it's a bit... meh.
Plus, Disney's dropped the new Aladdin trailer, and it really gives a first proper good look at the movie, instead of just awkward teasing. Try not to be surprised though, because after all, this a Disney remake: it just looks like the Aladdin you've known and loved for years, but not animated.
