Podcasts about The King of Kong

Today we are joined with the father of e-sports Walter Day! You may have been introduced to Walter many years ago through the popular Netflix documentary The King Of Kong and he is back as the main focus in a heartwarming new film titled Arcades & Love Songs. There is a brief moment in The King Of Kong showing Walter playing his guitar and saying he was going to quit the gaming industry and become a musician. That stuck with the documentary team and many years later they decided to take a deeper look into what he meant by that and ended up unexpectedly capturing the most beautiful journey. Walter began hearing original songs in his head after getting his heart broken in 1985, and since then he has wrote hundreds of songs about this woman that never saw the light of day. In this film not only does he reunite with her to tell her that, but at the age of 70 embarks on a career in music, records an album, and through the inspiration of his new appreciation for Taylor Swift ends up playing his very first gig. I can't say enough about how wonderful this documentary is. It will leave you inspired, and may even bring a lil tear to your eye. Was amazing to have this chat as well with Walter and get some extra layers and context on his beautiful journey. Arcades & Love Songs: The Ballad of Walter Day is currently playing in select theatres, but be sure to check out their website https://www.arcadesandlovesongs.com/ and follow them on their socials for updates and details on future releases.

Billy Mitchell is the Video Game Player of the Century, the first to achieve a perfect score of 3,333,360 points on the original Pac-Man arcade game, the original high score record-holder on Donkey Kong, and the subject of the 2007 documentary, “The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.” He shares the illustrious story of his famed video game career including what inspired him to start playing Donkey Kong specifically, how he got hooked on Pac-Man, why he was determined to beat both games, and how drastically things changed after he was featured in a Life magazine photo spread of video game champions during the height of the golden age of arcade video game in the 80s. He talks about Steve Weibe, Twin Galaxies, reclaiming his gaming records, meeting Namco founder Masaya Nakamura, and video gaming culture then and now. STAY CONNECTED:TikTok: @ChrisJerichoInstagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzy Twitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJerichoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzyWebsite: https://www.webisjericho.com/

Bob Sargent joins Troy and I to discuss KING OF KONG ISLAND (1968). Or is it just KONG ISLAND? And what connection to King Kong does this movie actually have? Spoiler alert – none! Because Mr. Sargent has a soft spot in his heart (and head) for this bizarre Italian production we examine it for signs of sanity. None were found, but along the way we learned a little about ourselves. Sort of. And for some reason we also talked about 70's rock group StoneGround. I can't understand why. For the curious, KING OF KONG ISLAND (1968) is a movie of many parts. It is roughly 20% jungle mercenary movie; 20% mad scientist tale; 20% revenge story; 20% jungle girl adventure and 20% family melodrama. It is also 100% nuts! While much of the advertising for the film centers around the jungle girl sections of the story we come to the conclusion that Eva (or the Scared Monkey as she is referred to most often) could be removed from the film with little detriment to the story. Of course, this would have eliminated the film's nudity so I don't think anyone involved would have agreed to do this. But the film has so much going on that it is difficult to stop watching as the madness unfolds. We see stuntman turned actor Brad Harris beefcake up the place with his exciting dance moves and flinty abs. We see veteran Hollywood tough guy Marc Lawrence play a mad scientist/Bond villain using surgically altered gorillas to control a jungle cave. We witness plenty of animal stock footage. It all adds up to a featue length movie. Really. Even if you haven't seen this cinematic epic there are things in the episode to entertain you. Troy's alternate title suggestions are inventive and arguably better than any of the ones actually used. Bob's attempts to explain his lifelong fascination with this whacky film lead us from a sweaty apartment in the 1980's to modern 21st century life – pity his poor wife! And bonus points to the listeners that can pinpoint the moment when I gave up on presenting a plot synopsis. Eventually you have to accept that things have gotten away from you. If you have seen KING OF KONG ISLAND and have something to add to our discussion thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send your thoughts. Thank you for listening!

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.

This week on Remainders, we talk the 2007 documentary King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, the story of die-hard gamers competing for the record high-score on Donkey Kong. Steve Wiebe, a down on his luck everyman, needs a purpose and discovers it in classic arcade gaming. As he attempts to break the record in Donkey Kong, he is exposed to the power and corruption in the underbelly of competitive gaming.  The charismatic but deceptive Billy Mitchell, self-proclaimed “world's best gamer,” will do anything to maintain his high-score and championship title regardless of the cost.Other topics include American Movie's influence on 2000s documentaries, Tarantino's new book, Scorsese's upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon, Leonard Cohen, big-budget movies and their influence on the movie industry, and Warren Zevon's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination.Songs of the WeekYour Wild Years by The MenzingersNothing in Return by Roky EricksonAll Songs of the Week hereWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter
