King of Con!

About This Movie

So, King of Con! is a fascinating deep dive into the world behind the King of Kong. Dwayne Richard really lays it all bare, you know? The pacing has this almost investigative rhythm, revealing how the narrative of the original film was shaped—like a puzzle, piece by piece. It’s intriguing how Richard highlights the discrepancies, especially around Billy Mitchell’s supposed victories. That twist about the true victor, the guy who actually beat Mitchell's record, is just wild. And the whole atmosphere feels a bit raw, like you're getting the real story from someone who’s lived it rather than just a polished documentary. It’s refreshing for anyone who appreciates the quirks of competitive gaming culture and the stories that get buried under the hype.
