About the event
Joysticks: There’s something going on at the local video arcade – something totally insane, outrageously hilarious, very sexy and thoroughly entertaining: the hit film Joysticks! Will a local businessman (Joe Don Baker) succeed in shutting down this “den of juvenile delinquency” or will saner heads, faster fingers and shiny quarters prevail? Will leather-clad King Vidiot (Jon Gries) and his troupe of high-tech video addicts ever be satiated?
