Today was kind of a strange day.  I told my husband he could choose a documentary for me and we could watch it togethor, he was half way through browsing around Netflix when I got interested in The Rock A Fire Explosion and chose it anyway.  So, he got to watch it with me.

This movie was about the robot rock band that performed at Showbiz Pizza before it was Chuckee Cheese.  There was a lively cast of animals in the band, everything from Fatz the Ape that played the organ to a Beach Bear and a Granma and some singing birds and wolves too.  I's sure many people remember them.  But the people in this movie were super fans.  One even had a tattoo of a character from the band.  It was a very fun watch and we had some laughs.  One particular fan spent his time working odd jobs on top of his full time job in order to buy his own electronic show for himself, he considered the robots to be like a family, like he was the father in this electric family.  He was devoted to caring for them and making sure a new generation did not have to miss out on Rock A Fire.

The creator of Rock A Fire was a young man at the time that ran his own business.  His name is Aaron and he still has the business today, although now that he is not affiliated with Checkee Cheese, he is the sole employee after having to let go of over 300 employees, and his building was in total disrepair.  He seemed very talented and very creative and had a lot of big dreams.  It was pretty sad to see him reminisce about the good times and hope for a big come back.  His talents seemed like they were pretty wasted now days.  He is lucky he married a very good looking much younger Rock A Fire Explosion fan who once worked at Showbiz Pizza.

I don't visit Chuckee Cheese to be honest because I find most of them to be super dirty and ghetto, and I am also very opposed to them selling alcohol there, who do they think will drive all those kids home?  I think they are pretty unethical all around, so I was not surprised in the hand they had in trying to wreck Rock A Fire and their maker's dreams.

If you haven't seen this band perform you should really watch this movie, or if you have seen them but want to reminisce you should watch too.  It was a quick watch, and to be honest there was some aspects about running a business that were educational for me, so it was not a waste of time.

I was happy last year to take my older kid to see one of their robots at the World's Largest Grocery Store in Cincinnati Ohio called Jungle Jim's. They had a lot of robots in there but me and my husband had the most fun watching the Elvis that once performed when we were really young.  After watching this movie my husband and I had a big kick out of watching the band play new songs on Youtube so it seems they have a new cult following and they will never die.
