The Pong Horror Movie
On the second episode of Spitballs, the crew see a young person in a Pac-Man T-shirt and wonder how a film could exploit the earliest and most plot-light video games. The outcome is a horror film about Pong, a 70s period piece about people being trapped in a Pong machine until it spreads into the world.

Description
Also known as Spitballs, in this episode the guys go off on a weird tangent after seeing a zoomer wearing a Pac-Man t-shirt. Instead of Super Mario Bros. or Sonic the Hedgehog, what if Hollywood cashed in on the video game movie revival trend with a feature film about the very first video game… PONG! HOW EXCITING WOULD THAT BE?!? WHAT AN AMAZING IP TO EXPLOIT WITH ENDLESS POTENTIAL!
Special thanks to the brilliant WeeZacharyP for his inventive animation! Enjoy, friends!
Remarks
The film pitch bears resemblance to Wreck-it Ralph and Pixels, the latter of which was featured on Half in the Bag.
