Anderson was a Wife Guy, when he was but an ambitious young filmmaker with a single independent hit Shopping under his belt, he managed a surprise smash hit that would come to define his career as a blockbuster director.

It is still regarded by many as one of the best video game movies out there. Randy and Jens react.
