Great film on American Arcade culture. Very nice editing, and composition of the film. Contains a lot of historical information with clips from past broadcasts. The main focus is the story of Richie and how he follows his dream of opening up a modern arcade and the problems with having such a goal. Very fun and it will bring nostalgia to arcade fans.
