8-Bit Christmas
How do you update the perennial holiday classic A Christmas Story? You trade the ‘50s for the late ‘80s, the coveted Red Ryder BB Gun for the then-brand-new Nintendo video game console, and let Neil Patrick Harris narrate the quest by his younger self (Winslow Fegley) to get his ultimate childhood Christmas gift, despite his disapproving parents (June Diane Raphael and Steve Zahn). The nostalgia-fueled 8-Bit Christmas looks pretty fun, but it also looks like it’s trying to replicate A Christmas Story so hard that it could be too overwhelming to enjoy.
Where can I watch 8-Bit Christmas?
HBO Max releases 8-Bit Christmas on November 24. Also, Atari 2600 forever.
