"Shall we play a game?" Okay, let's play, "Where the hell are this kid's parents?" In 1983's War Games, our teenage techie (played by Matthew Broderick) is able to skip school for a week, hack into computers, and get arrested for espionage without even getting grounded. Now though, is truancy this kid's lightest offense? How does this film's "computers are people too" storyline hold up in our AI age? And why is Ally Sheedy's character such a fast runner? The Old Roommates stop their 300th game of tic-tac-toe and discuss this blockbuster through their middle-aged lens. "Dial up" and join them.
