So excited to see Kevin playing this again. His older videos of this game are some of my favorites.

The number of hours I spent playing this game as a kid is probably embarrassing. To be honest, as old as this game is, it's pretty complex and has pretty decent graphics. It's almost 20 years old.

I played the hell out of this back in the day.

My brother and I had a movie series called "Drunk Monkey", and the plot was always the same. We would use the gorilla costume, and the protagonist would start off in a bar, drinking his life away when something happens either in the bar, or on his way home. Kidnapped by a serial killer, attacked by aliens, pretty much anything.

He would always be killed at the end, but the abrupt, final scene would be him laying on the floor of the bar. It was all a dream.

David Bunting's first instinct when he saw harmless aliens was chuck a granade inside the ship he was also inside of. Absolute classic.

You know how all actors tell the same story like "I wasn't even competing for the role, I just got to the audition with a friend who wanted the role and they told me I looked perfect for the part!", well in the kevinverse that is more or less like this "I was a janitor for a movie company and one day the producer looked me in the eyes and told me I was going to be a great movie star! Of course, the movies I did never made any money and I'm starting to think that they just needed someone willing to act, but whatever..."

The robot being a vampire was a turning point that saved the movie. No wonder it earned so much money.

"They came in peace and left in pieces". Well that cracked me😂😂😂

From what I remember this game's default movie studio name is "Tee Rash Studios", so Kevin naming his "Trash Films" proves he was on the same wavelength as the developers when playing this

[RhyzVids]

Kevin is the type of director to commit terrible atrocities and then create movies based on them and pass their inspirations off as “undocumented historical events” by replacing himself with an old, balding man named Jim.

[MrMimicMonster]

30 seconds in "I never make any mistakes and we've burned through half our money" I 100% believe that Kevin is a real movie producer

[RoyIMVU]

"They came in Peace and Left in Pieces" is probably the best line in the history of film. It will be quoted more often than things like "Luke, I am your Father" and hopefully misquoted as well.

Just for people who don't know, There's a game supposedly coming out this year called Blockbuster Inc, which is supposedly like a spiritual successor to The Movies. A prologue is free on steam for anyone wanting to try it.

I hope Kill Joy makes a return, starring Jim Pickens from the hit film Kill Joy 2.

[aimeebunting]

The fact that my dad is also called David Bunting made this an amazing watch aha

[EDHX]

"Our director has a problem, she can't stop eating when she's supposed to be working" same Kevin, same.

[Quantum_Cookie]

Completely agree this is one of the best sim games. I used to make films through this as a kid and get my parents to voice the actors. My friends rediscovered them on my computer when I was at uni and we still quote the ridiculous lines I came up with as a kid 😅 happy memories!

[beans]

i saw this and thought "yeah, ill watch those old kevin videos again" and i have never been so pleasantly surprised

[mrmeeseeks]

Poor Ben. He came angrily from a rival studio and lost everything and developed a drinking problem 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[killergrooves]

For those of you trying to run it, if I remember correctly, you have to run it in compatibility mode on Windows. I’m pretty sure I played it on my Windows 10 machine. Right click the program (specifically the .exe file), select the Compatibility tab, check the box that says “Run this program in compatibility mode for”, and select Windows 7 in the drop-down list. It should run properly. Hope this helps.

The closing of the book in sad man gosh it was so emotional😭 i cried
