James & Mike Mondays (previously James & Mike Play) is a Cinemassacre webseries in which James Rolfe and Mike Matei play a variety of games. Unlike other series the two act in, this series is completely unscripted and out-of-character. They cover games and systems that may be bad or good. Although the series focuses largely on retro games, they occasionally play modern games as well. The episodes air every Monday, generally early in the day (often late Sunday on the YouTube release). Every episode is edited by Mike, which leaves James free to work on other projects.
The first game James and Mike recorded together as a let's play was "Alien Storm" for Sega Genesis, uploaded in late 2012. Although not officially part of the series, it inspired the concept, as Mike had been looking for a way to have more consistent video game-related content with James on the Cinemassacre channel. It was followed by "Super Mario 4 Rambo" less than a month later, released as the first official episode of the series. The first three episodes didn't have a name, but starting with "SimCity", the series was given the name James & Mike Play. From December 2012 to November 2013, episodes came out on a semi-frequent basis, but did not have a consistent upload schedule. Starting with "Excitebike", the series was rebranded as James & Mike Mondays, and new episodes began coming out every Monday.
Occasionally, the episodes will have guest stars. Brendan Castner ("Bootsy"), Pat Contri ("Pat the NES Punk"), Bill Arensberg ("AlphaOmegaSin"), Ryan Schott, Kevin Finn, Jon Jafari ("JonTron"), Doug Walker ("The Nostalgia Critic"), Kyle Justin ("Guitar Guy"), Matt Kowalewski ("Super Best Friends Play"), Nathan Barnatt ("Keith Apicary"), Vincent Lange ("Vinesauce"), Macaulay Culkin, Kieran Fallon, Scott Wozniak ("Scott the Woz"), Antonio "Tony" Piluso ("HacktheMovies") and Erin ("Erin Plays") have all made appearances on the show.
Following the creation of James & Mike Mondays, Cinemassacre has gone on to feature other gameplay-oriented shows: Talk About Games, Mike & Bootsy, Mike & Ryan, and Full Playthroughs, as well as numerous live streams.
