I want to know what our history is with the wizard Henry. If I know you, I think you're in that

theater with your mom and your brother. You know what? This was a VHS rental. I actually skipped it.

When I look at it, it was Christmas 89. And I do know my family was moving to Atlanta around this time.

So I think maybe that upset things in what we were doing. You know, we moved in the summer

that time. But the commercials made me want to see it only because the commercials told me this

is a video game tournament where you are going to see Super Mario Brothers 3, which I guess if I

had bought like EGM back then, maybe I could have seen the import reviews of the game. But to me,

it was like, wait, there's a Super Mario Brothers 3. And I have to see this movie to see it. That

marketing did work on me, but I waited until a VHS. And then I never watched it again because to me,

as a little kid, this was a boring movie about things that were not playing video games most of the time.

And so I have watched it since childhood, not even ironically for joke purposes. This is the first

full watch that I've done for it. I'd say since 1990, I guess, would have been when I got it on VHS.

So it's been a long time. Yeah, my history with this movie, I didn't see it in theaters. And when my

mom was dating my stepdad, who actually looks a lot like Bo Bridges in this movie. Whenever I see

this movie, I'm like, well, that's my stepdad in 1989 or 1991 or whenever I met him. She was

dating my stepdad. It was time to rent a movie with the family. I wanted to rent the wizard.
