Games On Film

Harry and Rory line up the new Apple TV+ original film which has just dropped: Tetris - based on the true story behind the creation, discovery and race to secure the rights of the classic puzzle game! We discuss growing up with the iconic Game Boy version and our favourite iterations since, before sorting fact from fiction in the film itself. Taron Egerton stars as Henk Rogers who travels to Moscow on behalf of Nintendo, hoping to bring Tetris to their new handheld console and meet the game's inventor Alexey Pajitnov. But he soon encounters suspicious Soviet bureaucrats, rival games publishers, and sinister KGB agents who threaten his family, his livelihood and his life. It's communism versus capitalism, waged across a boardroom battlefield - and you thought B-Type Mode was tough! This podcast contains SPOILERS for Tetris (2023), from 38:20.
