The Rock-afire Explosion

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 Nights 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, The Rock-afire Explosion is a joyful and touching look at the importance of nostalgia and the eternal quest to stay young. (AGFA)
