"California!" | The Wizard

from Kentucky Fried Critics · host Kentucky Fried Critics

Grab your power gloves and favorite Nintendo games, because this week we took a trip back to 1989 for the epic gaming classic The Wizard. Whether you remember it for the heartbreaking lunchbox scene or the legendary reveal of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Video Armageddon, we’re breaking down why this cult classic still holds a high score in our hearts. And we found the perfect pairing in the refreshing Untapped Potential by Third Eye Brewing. Just like Jimmy with his hidden Nintendo skills, this beer has what it takes to take you all the way to greatness. Whether you're a dreaming of "California" or a retro-gaming pro, this combo is a high-score winner.
