Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much

About This Movie

Perfect Bid takes you into the quirky world of game shows and the obsession that can surround them. Ted Slauson, a maths teacher, dives deep into the mechanics of pricing on The Price is Right, tracing back to its roots in 1972, and it’s really more about the passion than the prizes. The pacing is pretty steady, letting you soak in the nostalgia while also exploring competitive strategies. It's fascinating how Slauson's knowledge turns into an almost art form. The whole vibe is a mix of earnestness and humor, especially when you see the lengths to which he'd go to help a contestant. It’s a documentary that feels less about winning and more about the love of the game itself.
