We breakdown Adam Sandler’s 2015 comedy sci-fi film about aliens attacking the Earth using 1980s video game classics such as Pac Man, Centipede, Galaga, Space Invaders and Donkey Kong. The U.S. President (Kevin James) must call on his childhood friend and classic video game champion (Adam Sandler) to help fight the unusual alien attacks. If you have fond memories of playing classic video games in an arcade in the 1980s, this movie might hit you right in the nostalgia “feels”… If not, “Pixels” is probably not going to make a whole lot of sense to you.
If the current world has you down, take a nostalgic trip with us through arcade classics from the 1980s. Remember a time when your biggest trouble in life was running out of quarters at the arcade. This nonsensical but FUN sci-fi film will convince you that being able to run up a high score on Pac Man gives you special skills to help save the world! Plus, it has Peter Dinklage as a retro arcade superstar, complete with arcade groupies! Turn off your brain and turn on a smile as we break-down the most FUN scenes, characters, themes, and merch from the movie “Pixels” in today’s Super Sci-Fi Party podcast episode.
