Episode description

Dawn your powergloves, and prepare yourself for some 80's video game nostalgia, because we're talking about THE WIZARD with Tom Mison!

We talk about our Nintendo nostalgia, the lovable performances from Fred Savage and Jenny Lewis, and the Lynchian nature of the video game centered world this movie takes place in. Is this the dumb kids movie Ebert claims it to be, or is it actually a beautifully shot piece of commentary an America's destruction at the hands of capitalism, and the death of couter-culture? Let's send that rotten tomatoes audience score to the moon!
