Show Notes
Let's be real: The Wizard is a feature-length Nintendo ad. But is that the ONLY reason we still love this 1989 classic? We're diving headfirst into the 80s propaganda machine to find out!
Join us as we break down the insane product placement, the CONFIRMED chip shortage conspiracy, and why no kid ever actually gave a damn about their Double Dragon score.
We're talking Fred Savage, Christian Slater, Beau Bridges, the Power Glove, and that legendary first public reveal of Super Mario Bros. 3. Sure, there's heart buried in that little lunchbox, but was it enough to save this movie from its own ridiculousness.
Was The Wizard a good movie or a masterpiece of marketing? What's your favorite moment? Let us know in the comments!
