success, again in recent years the zeitgeist “What we really wanted to capture, and what we wanted [audiences] to go away with, was that this movie captures the spirit of what’s going on around the dinner table,” says producer Says Jeremy Latcham. “The unexpected, the chaos, the crazy twists, and the inside jokes you get with your friends. “
Essentially, it’s an ever-evolving thing that people create themselves,” adds co-director and screenwriter Goldstein. “So what we’re really trying to adapt is just how you feel when you’re playing. That sense of whimsy, that kind of fun that you don’t usually see in fantasy spaces. It’s a nice departure from expectations.”

He does it part of the time, but he’s still a winner.”
