- 88Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe fantastically nostalgic, consistently funny, mischief-laden and genuinely touching 8-Bit Christmas (now on HBO Max) reminds me of A Christmas Story — with a touch of the storytelling device employed in A Princess Bride.

Regardless, it offers enough of a unique spin on the genre to satisfy audiences — especially millennials.
