I watched it yesterday and the part about the video tape is unbelievable. How can a record like that be approved so quickly when it contains obvious flaws? Also not letting Steve watch it was a disgusting move. Anyway the movie was really interesting.

Am I the only one who watches this movie and can't root for Weibe but instead am just crushed by the appalling sadness of it all? The guy's kids napping on the floor of the arcade, "kill screen coming up" and nobody cares....

The cringey nature of the entire documentary is why it’s wonderful. “Kill screen coming up!” was a punchline in my house for years after we watched that. :D
