Their home video line presents a diverse selection of movies, ranging from new preservations of classics from the vast library of Something Weird to the wildest in shot-on-video (SOV) titles. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line! THE ROCK-AFIRE EXPLOSION is the true story behind one of the strangest pop culture phenomenons of the 1980s. Before being mysteriously replaced by Chuck-E-Cheese, the ShowBiz Pizza chain (and its animatronic rock band, the Rock-Afire Explosion) took the U.S. by storm and eventually inspired the hit video game FIVE NIGHT'S AT FREDDY'S. This documentary chronicles the rise and fall of ShowBiz Pizza, the Rock-Afire Explosion, and the obsessive fans who have kept the dream alive. Produced DIY-style by filmmakers Brett Whitcomb and Bradford Thomason (GLOW: THE STORY OF THE GORGEOUS LADIES OF WRESTLING), THE ROCK-AFIRE EXPLOSION is a joyful and touching look at the importance of nostalgia and the eternal quest to stay young. AGFA is excited to bring this overlooked doc to Blu-ray for the first time, complete with enough extras to inspire a million animatronic sing-alongs. directed by: Brett Whitcombstarring: Various2008 / 72 min / 1.33:1 / English DTS-HD MA 2.0 Additional info: Region Free Blu-ray Preservation from the original digital master Commentary with filmmakers Brett Whitcomb and Bradford Thomason Outtakes Vintage Creative Engineering promo video Vintage "Tune Machine" skit Vintage "Willy Rabbit" news broadcast Vintage “Pizza Party” promo video Vintage “Uncle Klunk” promo video Original home video trailer Behind the scenes photo gallery English SDH subtitles Show more
