Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re looking at The Skateboard Kid (1993), a family comedy about Zach Tyler, a kid who’s adjusting to life in a new town. With help from a magical talking skateboard—voiced by Dom DeLuise—Zach deals with bullies and stumbles into a treasure hunt full of odd misadventures.
We break down the film’s strange premise, its low-budget effects, and some of the more questionable plot points, like the sudden romance between Zach’s dad and the neighbour, and the skateboard’s bizarre abilities. Tune in for a critical look at this 90s curiosity and how it’s held up over the years.
