56 - The Wizard
from Games on Film Hosted by Games on Film
It's The Wizard, Harry (and Rory)! Our hosts discuss this runaway road movie brimming with NEStalgia, as a trio of kids hitch-hike to California to compete in a video game tournament. They talk about e-sports in the early 90s, the Nintendo World Championships, Universal Studios and the new Super Nintendo World, as well as relive the film's finale with a head-to-head Super Mario Bros. 3 challenge. From the iconic Power Glove to a tiddly Tobey Maguire, The Wizard certainly has what it takes to be a cult classic, but is it "so bad" meaning "really good, actually" or just "so bad" meaning "like, SO bad"? This podcast contains SPOILERS for The Wizard (1989).
