Episode 35: The Wizard (1989)

Put on your Power Glove and find that warp whistle: we're talking about 1989's love letter to Nintendo, The Wizard. This flick features Fred Savage putting the moves on a pre-Rilo Kiley Jenny Lewis, the meanest video game villain this side of The King of Kong's Billy Mitchell, and the debut of the greatest video game ever, Super Mario Bros. 3. (Sorry, Ocarina of Time!) This movie may be the gold standard of product placement, but does it stand the Test of Time?
