Episode Synopsis

This week the guys delve into their shared love of video games and documentaries with 2007's The King of Kong. How interesting could a documentary be about two middle aged dudes competing for the classic arcade Donkey Kong world record?? The rabbit hole is deeper than an opera note on this one. This episode goes all in on the events of the film and a timeline of events revolving around the two main characters and the ongoing Donkey Kong score controversy. If you haven't seen it already we highly recommend watching the film before jumping into this episode, and if you have seen it you might want to give it a re-watch after the podcast.
