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.
