The Wizard
They're on a cross-country adventure to the world's greatest video championship. It's more than a game...it's the chance of a lifetime.
It’s not sexist, it’s romantic. Like Legend of Zelda.
Justin, Stuart, and Arnie have video games on the brain in 2018, and it’s led them back to the 1989 family film The Wizard. / Future rocker Jenny Lewis convinces TV star Fred Savage that his special needs half-brother Jimmy has the Nintendo skills to pay their bills. The trio hit the open road hoping to hustle gamers in every arcade from Reno to Los Angeles.
