PBR before the hipsters got to it.

I have so many things to say about Guess Who?. First of all, this game is pretty unintentionally anti-women, which I find amusing, but just because it was made in the 80s, so, of course. Secondly, I am constantly seeing people in real life who I think could be a Hank or a Carl or a George — like, some people are best described as Guess Who? characters. Thirdly, I want someone to make a movie from this. I mean, if we’re making movies from board games (which we are) then why not just get after it and do Guess Who? Although if you think about it, all these characters are probably at least over 40 and some of them are divorced and maybe have kids — if Apatow did dark, then maybe he could do the live-action Guess Who? film adaptation. Do I want to do this? What started as a joke now has me considering. Fourthly, while we’re on the subject, how about an Apples to Apples movie? Okay I don’t actually want that.
(Also, I hope you’re impressed with how committed I’ve been to properly crediting the title of this game as Guess Who?, question mark and all).

Okay. I would give my left arm if someone could find a way for me to play with this version of Kid Pix right now. This was my JAM in the early 90s.

If I understood how our record player worked, you better believe I’d have “I Love Trash” on repeat. (Taken with Instagram)
