Celebrate Seb Patrick’s Legacy with a Charity Screening of The King of Kong
SuperRetroGamer is excited to highlight an incredible event blending retro gaming, cinema, and a great cause! Hackney Picturehouse, in collaboration with the 90 Minutes or Less film podcast, is hosting a special charity screening of The King of Kong in honour of Seb Patrick—a beloved writer, editor, and podcaster.
Seb’s passion for storytelling and gaming was unmatched. In 2019, he appeared on the 90 Minutes or Less podcast to discuss his favourite short film, choosing the cult-classic documentary The King of Kong. This film captures the riveting rivalry between two arcade legends vying for the world record high score on Donkey Kong.
Sadly, Seb passed away in 2020, but to celebrate his birthday and legacy, this screening will raise funds for The Trussell Trust, a UK charity supporting food banks. Every ticket sold will contribute to this vital cause.
