The World Before Your Feet is a Great Life Documentary About A Man Determined to Walk Every Street in New York City

Posted on by Dave Pizza
The World Before Your Feet is an independent documentary about a gentleman named Matt Green, hailing from–well, anywhere he goes–everywhere in New York City, every street, every block. He considers himself not just willingly but independently homeless, sufficing on $15 a day so he can afford to keep walking without a job. This is an interesting film as a concept and project. It highlights the human intricacies of finding purpose, especially purposes not… Read the rest

Quantum Leap – Last Call at Al’s: A Tribute to Dean Stockwell

Posted on by Dave Pizza
One of the best actors in Hollywood passed away in the past couple of days at age 85. Dean Stockwell, the actor/artist/environmentalist/cigar-enthusiast, is notably remembered for his role as Al Calavicci in the ’80s/’90s TV time travel show Quantum Leap. I had always intended to talk about Quantum Leap here somewhere since it is one of the most influential productions I have ever spent time with, “within my own lifetime.” With the news… Read the rest

Why I Literally Want to Be James Halliday

Posted on by Dave Pizza
“James Halliday, he was like a god.” This is not a review, showcase, or anything, but it is a narrative I feel like rolling with. This topic entered my mind a long time ago when I first saw the film version of Ready Player One, and then later when I read the book. Then when I surrendered the dream in Ready Player Two (it’s an acquired taste, no dismissiveness or negativity here!) Ever… Read the rest

Indie Game: The Movie is An Essential Documentary For Game Devs

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Indie Game: The Movie is, suitably, a 2011 indie documentary made by Canadian Filmmakers about indie video games.

Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the TMNT is the Ultimate Documentary You Need to See

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a DVD documentary from Paramount Pictures, released in 2014. It covers every topic of TMNT lore like the comic book origins of Mirage’s Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Or how uncomfortable the turtle suits were for the actors in the motion pictures released in the 90s. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of the most legendary hallmarks of the later 20th… Read the rest

UFOs Miracle of the Unknown: Old VHS REVIEW?

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Okay, it’s official, ViCtoRia the VCR is ONLINE. This idea came to me in a late-night deep meditation. I was thinking: what can I do that’s a cut above the rest? My Ancient Aliens review was a blast. Perhaps I could find something that would be a little less obvious. So, anyway, here it is. I got this RCA VCR on eBay as well as a few VHS tapes to test and I… Read the rest

Viva Amiga is Ultimate Documentary About the Amiga You Need To See

Posted on by Dave Pizza
I started computing around the time that the Amiga crossed over into cult following–or so I learned when watching this. I’ve always had a casual interest in retro computing in addition to gaming. I even have an Apple ][ in my possession and have visited my share of BBS back in the day. I’d honestly never heard of the Amiga though until I checked out this documentary called Viva Amiga. Let’s talk about… Read the rest

Best of Ancient Aliens on DVD is What I Watched Today

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Well, howdy, friend. I suppose you reckoned I’d done gone and disappeared in a seamless maelstrom deep in the great sea. Well, I haven’t. I am back from my unexcused absence, and we’re going to be doing some things differently. Before I continue, let me just clarify, that’s right I am reviewing Best of Ancient Aliens, the History Channel show. It is not an indie game, it is not even a game at… Read the rest
