SHOWNOTES: On our latest Collaboration Special with Collateral Gaming, we are joined by Craig from Reading Between the Reels to talk Simon West's 2001 film adaptation of Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolie! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is often overlooked in discussions about attempts to adapt video games in cinema, but looking back, it was a memorable action movie in its own right with a vivid performance by its female lead, and definitely worth an analysis today. So, grab your dual pistols and come chill with us as we review the first cinematic portrayal of gaming icon Lara Croft, and stay tuned for Bad Movie December—we'll be covering The ButterCream Gang 2 and Neil Breen's Cade: The Tortured Crossing!
