We watched 8-Bit Christmas on HBO. I'd seen the trailer and had high hopes that this late 80s-era comedy about a group of kids trying to secure a Nintendo would be a lot of fun. It was but it just didn't land the nostalgia like, say, Stranger Things. It was also pretty transparent about trying to be the 80s Christmas Story in its approach and character similarities --- unfortunately, the writing was not as good, the narration not as engaging, and the characters not as fun.

Don't get me wrong, it had it's moments but had really hoped for more.
