Thank you for joining me today as I discuss a movie I watched many times in the early '90s -- The Wizard (1989). It's about a traumatized young boy who runs away with his older half-brother and ends up competing in the Video Armageddon tournament in Los Angeles, California. I was a Nintendo and Sega Genesis kid, and this movie remains a treasured childhood memory. It stars Fred Savage, Jenny Lewis, Luke Edwards, Beau Bridges and Christian Slater, among others. Beth Grant makes a small appearance as a disgruntled diner manager and Tobey Maguire has an uncredited role. He would have been a little kid at the time. See if you can spot him!
You might have seen Jenny Lewis in Big Girls Don't Cry...They Get Even aka Stepkids. She played a bratty stepsister. She was also in the TV movie Sweet Temptation with Beverly D'Angelo and Rob Estes. Luke Edwards played young Steven Stayner in the 1989 miniseries I Know My First Name Is Steven.
