Freaks,
geeks,
and
tons
of
twin
peaks!
This
innocently
sexist
new
wave
classic
is
easily
one
of
the
best
of
its
kind.
Relive
those
adolescent
days
when
you
and
your
friend
put
bras
on
your
head
and
created
the
ultimate
super-woman
(LeBrock)
by
electrocuting
a Barbie
doll
into
a super-computer!
Watch
out
though,
your
bully
older
brother
(Paxton)
is
making
your
life
a living
hell
(and
stealing
the
show!)
I DARE
you
to
show
up
wearing
your
sister's
bra...
on
your
head! 1985,

This
forgotten
T&A
classic
not
only
has
the
greatest
theme
song
of
the
1980's
("Totally
awesome
video
games!"),
it
combines
everything
you
loved
from
that
preposterous
decade:
Valley
girls,
arcades,
nerds,
slobs,
boobies,
left-over
hippies
and
the
all
time
greatest
punk
gang,
The
Vidiots
(led
brilliantly
by
Jonathan
Gries
of
Napoleon
Dynamite
fame.)
Help
save
the
arcade
from
being
closed
down
by
those
evil
conservative
townsfolk
and
yeah.
Play
some
games
while
you're
at
it!
You
will
not
find
another
movie
that
genuinely
captures
the
video
game
craze
of
the
early
80's. 88min
SUPER
RARE
35MM

available
on
DVD.)
