Episode 44: 2007 - The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

Aaron Cohen (and Dan Fleschner) join Matt Stroup to revisit the old school video game documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (directed by Seth Gordon). It's the story of the epic battle for the Donkey Kong world record between Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe, and please don't tell us anything that has happened after the movie because we don't want to know. Also: We answer your questions about The Fugitive and Edward Scissorhands in the first installment of Throwback Listener Mail. MORE ON KING OF KONG IN THE A.V. CLUB HERE www.thethrowbackshow.com
