Episode 314: Joysticks (1983)

Special Guests: Greydon Clark, Jon Gries
Guest Co-Hosts: Chris Cummins, Heather Drain

Are you ready for some Totally Awesome Video Games?!?

We head to the arcade this week to discuss Greydon Clark's teen comedy Joysticks (1983) wherein the local gaming establishment is threatened by Mr. Rutter (Joe Don Baker). The film includes an incredible cast, featuring Jon Gries as King Vidiot.

Heather Drain and Chris Cummins join Mike to discuss their favorite games, arcades, and making their money the hard way... one quarter at a time.

Errata: Jeff Bailey is the name of the main character in Out of the Past, not It's A Wonderful Life. However, listening to the audio commentary of the Joysticks DVD does provide an It's A Wonderful Life connection...
