Mehr The Quality Control Show

The Quality Control Show is the brainchild of two friends with a passion for artistic media in the form of Movies, Games, shows, and everything in-between. After meeting in the 4th grade, they quickly sharpened one another's minds through philosophical discourse. They aren't afraid to ask each other hard questions, such as: was Thesmophoriazusae really Aristophanes's best play? Is modern CGI worse than practical effects? Is the Last of Us PTII the worst bastardisation of a loved video game franchise? All this and more with the lads at Quality Control Show; we hope you'll join us for the ride.

Episode 40: The Last of Us

Video games have always been a medium that Hollywood struggled to effectively adapt into a successful show or movie. With fans still reeling from the Halo TV series that was all but a crash landing, hope for a faithfully realized franchise brought to a broader audience was waning. What HBO did may have seemed like a stroke of brilliance, perhaps elegant in its simplicity, but was merely common sense. They did exactly what I had been arguing since middle school when I  first played the masterpiece of storytelling that is The Last of Us video game. I said, "If they ever make a 1:1 adaptation of this game people will lose their minds over how good it is without even realizing the source material is a video game".  9 years later, HBO would change the playing field by doing exactly this. It is hard to say if this show stands up to the tour de force of narrative pacing and character work that makes the game such a potent piece of fiction, but regardless it is a landmark triumph for an audience that has been starved of good video game adaptations for year, after year, after year. It is the prototype, the blueprint, the schema for what is to come. Those souless fucks in Hollywood finally know that high quality, faithful game adaptations can line their pockets, and I daresay as a result we will look back on this show as the paradigm shift for an industry-wide adoption of games as a genuine avenue of producing success on the big screen.
