While Roleplay Retcon does not officially label any of their movie remakes as a failure, fans widely consider their adaptation of The Emoji Movie (2017) to be their "worst" or most chaotic series.Because the podcast's premise relies on taking a critical dud and fixing it through a tabletop RPG, certain awful movies prove incredibly difficult to salvage. The unique challenges that made this particular run a notorious mess include:The System Meltdown: The crew attempted to adapt the digital, app-hopping movie using a heavily modified version of a surrealist indie system. The mechanics quickly fell apart as the players struggled to translate text message functions, mobile apps, and literal emojis into functional roleplay statistics.

The logo for "Sixteen Military Wives" by The Decemberists, which normally has a crown in the middle of a coat of arms with a lot of fascist/nationalist imagery, like weapons and flags. But the "sixteen" is crudely erased to "six" and "military" has been crudely erased and replaced with "astronaut" and the crown replaced with an astronaut helmet that still has a white square around it. This is all very funny.

Footage from the Sega arcade game Altered Beast is playing in the background. Two beefy dudes punch and kick zombies and monsters in a graveyard. Sometimes they pick up orbs and get beefier and eventually transform into werewolves that can dash and shoot fireballs

Hank from Roleplay Retcon's Pixels series. Blonde white guy wearing a blue shirt, khakis, and sneakers with three triangles on them.

Zelda, Ocarina of Time gameplay. The main character is a low-polygon blonde boy with a giant shield on his back, wearing a green tunic. He is in a dank underground cavern. He touches a flowing green liquid that hurts him and makes him flash red. He defeats a zombie like creature, then climbs up on dead, inert hands reaching up from the green liquid like Rafiki hoisting baby Simba up in The Lion King; the boy climbs up on the hands.
Alex dressed as Steve from The Owl House (he's a guard wearing a bird-like helmet, and also a dark jacket and hood over that and a t-shirt with "STEVE" in block letters dripping red stuff

It's lots of different people sitting in front of mics and headphones
An 80s-style logo with lots of neon colors, a grid pattern and stars in the background for no reason, and "these FUCKING dudes" in three different fonts: the first is a pink brush script, the second is a bold metallic all caps with pink outline, and the third is a diagonal white sans serif font with a bright white coloring. Behind the words is a prism with a rainbow coming out of it
People sitting in front of mics. They look anxious and aggravated, for the most part.
A screenshot of the roleplay retcon PAcific rim uprising finale project in Adobe Audition. I cannot possibly describe everything in this picture, I'm so sorry. The point of the picture is that there is a lot of stuff and it shows that it was a huge amount of work.

At certain points in this video, there are screenshots of Herman Gottlieb from Pacific Rim and a Facebook meme with tons of text, but you can probably find it by googling "facebook holy tongue computer meme" The rest is people sitting in front of mics with headphones on.
