8-bit christmas

“So many thoughts raced through my head. Would I be arrested? Would I go to jail? Or worse, would I ever play Nintendo again?” 

This week the boys bend the rules to have a look at 8-Bit Christmas which was released in 2021.  This may be a modern film but it is set in the late 80’s and follows a young lad who desperately wants a Nintendo for Christmas.
