What is your favorite Robin Williams movie? Mine is Dead Poets Society

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Mrs. Doubtfire

[@ScottTrolls]

Damn, hard question. I love Mrs. Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society and Good morning Vietnam. But If I would go of Robin Williams' character in the movie, Aladdin, Jumanji and HOOK!!

[@gloriebluestein9721]

What dreams may come

[@patricialdv5220]

So many amazing movies! The Fisher King, One Hour Photo are the ones that impacted me the most. You guys should do a Robin Williams Marathon!!

[@trinaq]

Definitely a toss between "Dead Poets Society", "Mrs Doubtfire" and "" World's Greatest Dad."

[@The..Boulder]

That skiing trip that Judy and Peter's parents were playing on going to is the one that they died on. So that's why Alan and Sarah both shouted no when they mentioned going on that vacation.

[@trinaq]

Rest in peace, Robin Williams. He gave heart and soul to this movie, and it wouldn't have been the same without him as Alan. I loved how the 2017 Jumanji movie paid a subtle tribute to him.

[@azazello1784]

Don't be naive. He just wanted a big paycheck.

[@dude53]

@@azazello1784 Obviously. He can't do it for free. It's a job and it takes actors countless hours to complete even one scene and months sometimes years to finish the entire 1+ hour movie. That doesn't mean he had to give the role his all and tons of actors give shit to roles and still take more outrageous and undeserved checks. You don't know enough to be talking so don't assume you've got it all figured out.

[@jibrael_7155]

Some scenes were pretty intense watching this as a kid.. Still loved it. Robin Williams movies never get old

[@azazello1784]

Eh, nobody even died.

[@jibrael_7155]

@@azazello1784 the opening scene is in a graveyard at night with loud drums.. 😂 at 5 that was enough for me

[@REChronic54]

Something about 90s children’s horror was particularly creepy for some reason. I remember being afraid of “…until the dice reads 5 or 8” scene; with those creepy grandfather clock sounds.

[@ccricers]

I remember reading the book and thinking, how are they going to make a movie out of this? The book was a picture book and very short, was nowhere as intense as the movie. I was surprised how much they could do with it, was very fun to watch at the theater.

[@sanne1261]

yeah me and my sister got really scared at this movie and didnt want to watch it again after that lol. but now i can appreciate it

[@akinliblaine3304]

It kills me to hear you talking about how it's such a "goofy movie" when this one and Zathura (similar premise but in space) literally terrified me as a child. LOL. But being older and watching it again, it truly is such an amazingly well done and entertaining movie! Great reactions! Made the experience so much fun.

[@luciaricomontero8633]

It terrified me too! Just hearing the drums now I had chills 😰

[@leahschuetz5621]

I was four when I watched and even though I was terrified and crying the entire time my mom decided to still make me watch it. I had nightmares for a while about it. I like the movie now, but not the thing you should show to a little kid.

[@theuglytruthish]

NEED to watch Zathura. Same premises. Love it

[@juanda1799]

fun fact! actually zathura is a sequel to jumanji, they’re both books, and in the books zathura begins right when judy and peter win the game, but the kids in zathura decide to play that game, which was underneath jumanji. what i don’t know is why the creators of the films decided that they wouldn’t connect them, it would’ve been really fun to see it

[@goodaimshield1115]

I saw it when I was like 5/6, and I LOVED it. It did give me chills when the drums started playing but I really really loved it.

[@fallingawayfromthenorm]

The reason they scream “NO” when Judy and Peter’s parents start talking about their skiing trip in Canada is because that’s the vacation they were on when they died in a car crash.

[@fynnthefox9078]

Lol how'd they miss that?

[@rowangoodwin9273]

Dang that one moment near the end when alan and sarah save judy and peter’s parents’ lives by denying their vacation was crazy

[@dihboas]

I love the fact that the game chose Alan’s dad likeness to represent Van Pelt since Alan was afraid of his own father, this is story telling at it’s finest. I love this movie sooo much, Robin Williams rest in peace, we miss you Sir ♥️

[@whitenoisereacts]

LMAO True

[@Arthaius]

@@whitenoisereacts - Hey guys, did you happen to catch on that Alans Dad is the same actor as the Hunter, the man he feels is always after him? You guys always pick such great movies to "first time react" to, and if you really liked the whole "Board Game" theme, there is another "Board Game" style movie which is kind of similar, yet also very different, and you should put up for the channel, it is called "Zathura" and if you liked the way this movie goes, then I think you will be just as much of a fan of Zathura as well.

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

WHAT?!

[@AL-fl4jk]

@@Arthaius never noticed this as a kid

[@chlodiamondskyjoannarubydi2604]

@White Noise Reacts you definitely should do a reaction to zathura a space adventure film its brilliant it's a bit like Jumunji

[@emmettspeaks]

The hunter guy is played by the same actor as Alan’s dad, so the “makes you feel just like a child” and the “come back and face me like a man” is sooo reminiscent of his dad, which makes it even worse!

[@brittancandela]

How have I been watching this movie my entire life and never realized they were the same actors?! 😂

[@emmettspeaks]

@@brittancandela it’s easy to miss! I’ve just seen it so many times that I eventually figured it out haha

[@Igarappappa]

Reminds me how in Peter Pan they have the same actor play Wendy's dad and Captain Hook.

[@darkseid6089]

The actor name is Jonathan Hyde.

[@melissaisloud7404]

This is the best of all of the Jumanji films. It out-hearts the newer versions on every single level. So good.

[@maximillianosaben]

The late scene with “how about as father and son” always brings me to tears, especially the older I get. It didn’t hit me the same way when I watched the movie on release at 6 or so years old. It hits harder with age either way, never mind personal experiences.

[@mikailagray]

This movie might as well be a kids horror film. As a kid I watched it a lot but it was always so creepy. They sell a Jumanji board game irl and whenever I see it I get the heebie jeebies and wonder who would buy it.

[@Megan-ir3ze]

Even I as a kid I wouldn’t play it 🤣

[@DazzleThemForMe]

Kirsten Dunst was such an amazing child actress. She shines in Interview With The Vampire

[@jg4840]

They screamed Noo at the end because the parents said they were going on a skiing trip in Canada and that’s how they originally died.

[@molly7154]

Bradley Pierce, who plays Peter in this film, was also the voice of Chip in Beauty and the Beast.

[@tracyswoops7401]

Dude, I had the Jumanji board game when I was younger! It was pretty cool because the cards could only be read if you put them under the filter, which was essentially that small pool where the board read your fate lol 😂 it was so fun I loved it! 💞

[@Nickreds20]

Wow, I never knew they made the actual game, I'm so jealous! This was one of my favourites as a kid. If I had known, I would've bought it, for sure.

[@Kammy-nh8vl]

Omg you just unlocked my memory of having this game too!!! I didn’t remember until you said you couldn’t read the card till you put it under the filter. Wow thanks for that! Had this on VHS too!

[@tararocksong5085]

So did I. Haven’t played the game since I was in elementary school.

[@askabi]

This film has a special place in my heart as a childhood film. My Dad worked away a lot ( I would see him about 1 day a week) but he made the most amazing board games for us. The best was the Jumanji game that he made out of cardboard and paper and a lot of detail! It opened the same way as the movie one. We had animal crayons that looked like the board game figurines. If you landed on Van Pelt you had go all the way back the beginning and my sister landed on it all the time. Ah memories!

[@Unownshipper]

I am SO happy y'all liked this movie, it was one of my favorites when I was a kid. And you picked up on so many great details about this film that make it awesome: Williams' versatility for humor and seriousness, the extraordinary effects, the themes of dealing with childhood trauma, the delightful reversal of the child characters acting like adults and the adults acting like children, the great direction and camera shots. It's like a real, old-fashioned fairytale: fantastical, but with a dark edge.

[@88gschannel39]

This movie was legendary on the big screen. Allen and the kids were great but Carl's moments made the film too lol. And I love that the actor who played his dad and Vanpelt were the same person, giving you that parallel universe dynamic. I know practical effects are nearly done in this era, but there is something so genuine about it that cgi can't capture.

[@Mitheledh]

Now... Imagine watching this in the theater.

[@DLCSTexas]

Somebody might have already pointed this out but the father Parish actor was also the jungle safari man actor too. He played 2 roles. I’ve never heard anybody talk about it and of the many times I’ve watched this it must have taken me at least 5 times seeing it to realize they were the same. The actor was just so good at both parts. But it also plays in to Allen’s imagination of his fathers harshness and the jungle guys harsh character trying to kill him and then him standing up to him in the end.

[@daniellemonbebe]

“I wonder why those kids in the beginning hid it like it’s a curse - I wonder if there is a darker side to this” -Alan stuck in a jungle for 26 years: uh? Hello ?

[@robertmolton6761]

Things seem darker in the book. Check it out and then you'll get why those boys were acting the way they were. You said they hid it like it's a curse. That's because it literally is. Once you start playing the curse has you. Dark indeed. 🖤

[@NoriMori1992]

For real, like, what is James's standard for what counts as dark and what counts as a curse 😂

[@TheGriever07]

You didn't seem to notice that the actor that played the dad also played Von Pelt. Brings a new meaning to his last line of the movie

[@DToomer]

“I’m next, right? RIGHT!?!” - Zathura

[@Brooklyn_Bleek]

If you liked this, then you should try giving *"Zathura"* a watch. It's basically kind of the same setup, but it's an outer space/exploration type of board game. I think it was one of the early films Jon Favreau either wrote, directed or did both...I forgot which. Great Reactions, btw!

[@jackierosas9593]

It’s also by the same children’s book author as Jumanji. That’s partly why they’re so similar.

[@ajandrianjafymusic]

Yesss Zathura was my childhood movie

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

"I wonder why those kids in the beginning were treating it like some sort of a curse." Did you. . .not see Alan literally get sucked in? In the timeline those original kids were from, such a thing would be considered the work of the Devil.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Well we didn’t know exactly yet

[@kingofbudokai]

To your question about "go back a turn" you were way overthinking it. It literally just means "undo the effect of the last roll", which is why the floor turned back into a normal floor. It reverted to the state it was in before Alan took his turn.

[@programmertheory]

If I recall in the Jumanji book, the pods (Giant yellow flower thing) send out spore-like seeds in order to spread, which is why Alan locks the door so they don't get out of the lounge.

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

The lion was puppeteered. A man was in a costume and the face was remote controlled. There is a documentary about how they made the movie.

[@Justiine123xD]

They screamed "Noooo" in the end in front of the children's parents because they died from their "Holidays" and that's how the children lived with their aunt ;)

[@robertgronewold3326]

I've loved this film ever since it came out when I was a kid. And it's actually inspired by a book by the same name by the children's author Chris Van Allsburg, who also wrote the Polar Express book. The book is quite a bit different, as it's more a child's imagination than actual jungle creatures invading. Also, please watch Hook. I LOVE that film.

[@hamzah5643]

Ive watched this a lot as a kid, and when Jumanji is drumming, it still fills me with an uneasy dread.

[@YSO992]

Ngl that drum sound scared the hell out of me as a kid after watching the movie. I had nightmares about it for a week. Tbf I was 5 when I saw it. Watching it as an adult, it's amazing and fun but as a kid it was a horror movie. Coincidentally I never played board games until I was an adult. Completely unrelated, I'm sure. Lol

[@porthosduval]

Thank you guys so much for reacting to this movie. When Alan came back and looked for his parents in his house and all that I started crying haha I haven't seen this movie in years but it was a childhood staple and it made me really emotional to see it again through you. My mom had recorded it for me on a VHS tape 💕

[@shiroitachi7563]

Honestly, This movie is a masterpiece and the worry i felt when they were making a new one, was monumentally huge. But the new ones were just as good, just in case you ever get to those ones. 🤣 Robin williams was and always will be brilliant in everything he's done. i miss him so much❣

[@muratbais777]

I love jumanji. This is the type of movies that i watched when i was younger

[@TheFalcon01x]

Great reaction and you should definitely see Zathura after you finish the Jumanji films. If you want to stay with Robin Williams movies, I would suggest Jack (1996), Flubber (1997), or RV (2006) which I think is the best.

[@whenmylifebegins]

Zathura definitely has more of the same vibe than the new Jumanji films.

[@nickmanzo8459]

Jack and Flubber are pretty awful. I never saw RV so I can’t comment on it.

[@Rammstein0963.]

You mean Jumanji filM... Those others aren't related...

[@mariewagner5283]

@James - LOVE that t-shirt !Glad you finally got to watch this movie with Ninetailedbrush. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@whitenoisereacts]

Thanks!! Yeah it is super comfy lol

[@ThatBlackPiano]

Now you guys GOTTA watch Zathura!!!

[@claudiazaatable]

I love that Van Pelt is also the dad, that Alan had to fight his demons

[@mrmusickhimself]

I will argue that this film is actually BETTER when you watch it through adult eyes. Van Pelt is a mad lad.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Agreed

[@Nana-hj7xl]

This is the reason why the modern movie Jumanji is well anticipated.. I was so young watching this so I was so excited to watch the sequel.. Youll enjoy it after watching this and see the connection.. Its so hilarious..

[@porkwop9171]

Did you guys notice that the hunter van pelt is played by the same actor that plays alans father? He had to stand up to the the symbol of his father basically.

[@hsmorg3640]

havent finished but just in case no one mention, or you guys dont notice, the actor that plays Alan's dad, is also the actor playing the human hunter

[@gustavoalvarez277]

YOU SHOULD WATCH ZATHURA! it’s really good and it has the same concept as this, a game board but it’s space theme instead of jungle

[@pdoll96]

Miss Robin Williams. I enjoyed rewatching this movie with you guys reaction! So glad you enjoyed it

[@LeonardoLuques]

Great reaction guys! When you're done with the Jumanji series PLEASE consider watching Zathura, it's the space version of Jumanji. At first it was supposed to be a sequel but then it became it's own thing. It's dirrected by John Favreau and it's a GREAT movie and very underrated.

[@antonytjp]

One thing about this movie that’s amazing is the fact that grief is apart of everyone’s life and shows the different ways they/we all deal with it.. like Alan’s father let grief consume him, Sarah was on medication and getting therapy for years, Judy was becoming more rebellious, Peter was turning into an introvert and their aunt was closed off and emotionless about their parents death… when life gets tough you gotta stick together and work together like your playing Jumanji 😂😂😂✌️

[@Nickreds20]

Tremendous movie and story. I only came to realise years later when I watched it again that Van pelt was the same actor as Alan's dad. He was well disguised, i guess. I think the writers or director did this to somehow portrait Alan's frustrations and deepest fears he had in real life into his prison/the jungle/the game. Maybe the world of jumanji is different with each person that gets trapped , and once Alan gets stuck in the jungle, all those fears and frustrations manifested in this different alternate version of his dad, literally hunting him for many years.

[@JoshHowardChannel]

Think you guys missed it, but the reason they freak out about the trip to Canada at the end is because that's how Peter and Judy's parents die in a driving accident in Canada

[@yourmajestybeatz7475]

Took me years to realize that Jonathan Hyde plays the hunter and Alan’s father !!

[@whitenoisereacts]

That’s great!

[@kemuelmelgar7702]

I'm so happy that you watch this. You have no idea how many times when I watch this when I was a kid. And back then I watch this on VHS.... good times, good times 😌😌😌😌

[@laurak-e8797]

Zathura was a great space version of this movie. I hope you guys get to check it out. Love your reactions!

[@heresheis2063]

This is one of the several movies where it gets more amazing every time I watch it. This will always be my fave among the JUMANJI franchise.

[@jlerrickson]

I really hope you decide to check out What Dreams May Come. You would have so much fun geeking out over it: the film is visually stunning and rightly won several awards for the effects. Thank you for this trip down memory lane. I'm thrilled that you loved it.

[@StephyDee]

YES, PLEASE!! This is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever had the pleasure of watching, and the storyline is enough to reduce you to tears. It's Robin Williams being serious with a twinge of silly, done in just the right way.

[@porgyt7177]

Have you guys watched The Little Shop of Horrors (1986)? HIGHLY recommended ! (P.S. I brought this up because the guys liked the Plant Monster).

[@davidalejandro343]

Jumanji is originally a children's book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg. I remember checking it out at the library when i was a kid (I'm 36 1/2). The movie took a lot of license and created so much more story than what is in the book. But the book is delightful, and the illustrations are really neat.

[@robertoprestigiacomo253]

The newer movies are, strangely, really good too and I suggest you to react to them. I personally really don't like modern movies and it's so rare to see ideas well developed nowadays, so I approached the newer movie with incredible scepticism and I was really surprised!

[@KingOfGamesss]

43:49 "Go back a Turn"...it means the last Turn gets Undone/Reversed (Quicksand stops)

[@iFrizzy]

49:14 remember when they said their parents died in Canada? so this trip is prolly when they died and they just stopped them from going to that trip, meaning saving their lives for the two kids

[@terrylewis_]

Those dumb looking bikes were called, at least where I grew up banana seat bikes. They were the comfiest ever, and you could usually fit more people on them. I loved mine!!

This was great movie and part of my childhood growing up in the 90s..going to the movies was a great experience back then as a kid

[@MVR3IWER]

I know it's 'technically' not a Jumanji movie, but you should add "Zuthora" to the list. It's the same concept as Jumanji, but it's in space.

[@LightStreak567]

Zathura is basically the sequel to this movie, since the novel is the sequel to the novel Jumanji, then the other two Jumanji movies with Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black are next.

[@KitsunesTrove]

I was a teenager when this came out and I saw it in the movie theaters twice. To this day, it's still one of my favorite movies. I even actually had a Jumanji board game, lol. Great reactions, guys! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the newer versions of this movie.

[@dianedavid3052]

Me too! I was 19 in 1995 and me and some coworkers went to see it before our nightclub bar shift 😉

[@mageeaaron2624]

26:54 my favorite scene in this movie! The fear and panic displayed by the actress was incredible lol

[@Rabidpygmy]

The river and forest scene were all filmed less than ten minutes from my house growing up. Nearly all of it was filmed in North Vancouver & the towns near it. My best friend got Robin William’s autograph during the filing

[@Zombiesnyder13]

Have anyone seen JUMANJI: THE ANIMATED SERIES? It was dope

[@Hanmacx]

I still remember the episode with "don't ask why"

[@SirCraigius]

47:05: Winning the game returns everything that came out back into the world of Jumanji and reverts everything back to where it was the moment before the game began. So as soon as Alan won time literally reset back to when they had just started the game as kids.

[@Shanyetta23]

I was fortunate to see this one in the theater when i was a kid. It is such a great movie!

[@kampinak]

this is such a great timeless classic, movie for all age groups :) yes that is indeed young Kirsten Dunst who then played Marry Jane in Spider-Man :) I like the fact that the hunter is played by the same actor as Alan's father, symbolizing his fear of him :)

[@brianmurphy8811]

Kirsten Dunst was a pretty talented child actress. She was creepy AF in Interview with a Vampire, but she played the role perfectly.

[@Sway22]

If tou're going to watch all 3 Jumanji movies then I also recomend Zathura! It's a similar concept and the second one in the book series!

[@JamesASharp]

Jumanji is the superior film. Both sequels have no choice but to bow down to this classic movie. Great reaction guys! 👍🏿

[@Yvo19]

3:07 Dude, 'Choppers' were the shit back in the day. Kids would have lost an arm to get one.

[@dabegmister]

Such a great childhood classic it definitely freaked me out when I was a kid

[@RomanceFreak]

This is going to sound silly, but this movie SCARED me as a kid, especially the scene when Alan got sucked in, and when the spiders, the croc, and the lion appeared. Like, I got so anxious and my heart pounded every time I watched it. Even watching it now, despite the CGI being old and silly, I get slight anxiety watching the scenes now, despite knowing they are going to be ok. Frikin awesome movie, so glad you enjoyed it! 😊👍

[@Tooba-K123]

Fun fact: Judy died in Jumanji timeline from the poisonous plant. This is one of the movies which made me interested in horror movies, I’m always glad that I grew up with this movie. The opening always shook me with both the kids terrified but willing to risk their lives to bury the game wishing for no one to find it and they kinda succeeded cause it took 100 years for the game to get a new target. The game kinda plays both as a protagonist and antagonist based on perspective of audience. While the game ‘hunts’ kids with foal intention of wicked game but it gives them chance for survival. It gave Alan a chance to both be a man and a child that he already was but with a cost. It away his time and cursed his childhood that would hunt him up till he becomes a man. For Alan, his father was his biggest fear; the one forcing him to become a man when he’s not ready to leave his childhood behind which is what cast the Van Hunter. By the end he learned to be a man and in process started to see the good in his father than a monster once he set aside his fears of him. Also check out Dunst in Interview with a Vampire. My favourite Robin Williams movie is definitely Jumanji both for the storyline, acting and practical effects. Next comes close are Poet Society and Flubber (which I really recommend). Also if you guys are planning to watch Jumanji movies then also give a try to Zathura. If you would like to watch movies like this then I recommend Ink-heart, 13 going on 30, Ella Enchanted, Lemoney Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, The chronicles of SpiderWick, Journey to the centre of the Earth, Journey to mysterious Island, The Water Horse, Eragon, Adam’s Family 1&2, Nanny McPhee, Baby’s Day Out, George of the jungle.

[@kaleyjohnson2962]

One of the best movie endings of all time. When you the game gave you the lesson and second chance for life.

That drum sounds, still gave me chills until now✨🏆✨

The part you guys are confused about where they screamed no when they said they were going to canada, the parents died in a car crash in canada on that trip so that's why they didn't want them to go.

Zathura is a movie based on Jumanji. Takes place in 2000s, and it's 2 brothers (and their sister but she doesn't play) and I think it's summer break at their dad's house. Divorced parents I think. And it's all based on space. It's Josh Hutchersons first big role, Dax Shepherd is in it, and Kristen Stewart (she's good in it).

ngl ever since the first time I saw this movie I loved it, AND the drums. The drums going "crazy" 14:10... ❤

The thing I hate about this movie is that they imply that Alan was in the wrong for trying to avoid getting a beating and not wanting to go to a boarding school his parents have apparently never even mentioned. Failing to protect your child from danger is child abuse, so pushing him towards danger is obviously worse, and if it was "always the plan" that Alan go to Cliffside, why didn't they inform him of the plan until they were ready to pack his bag? The producers act like his shitty, abusive, distant father is actually the father of the year if you compare it to spending 26 years in the jungle, and that's bullshit. You shouldn't have to compare your situation to a magical hellscape in order to appreciate it. He would've appreciated his father more before being grounded in the jungle for a quarter century if his father was at all loving *before* his son disappeared.

It is the opposite. The film showed the father was wrong in all his actions. Even proven further when Alan realizes he is acting like his father later on and apologizes to Peter. Van Pelt looking similar to his father (same actor) also heavily alludes to how harmful he was. Alan had very conflicted emotions about his father and unsure how his father felt about him as the father does communicate with him. Alan being told how his father spent all his money and energy trying to find him and the implied depression showed the father did love him even though he was such a poor parent. That was what made Alan tell his Dad he loved him and lead to *both* of them to start being honest and expressing feelings after Alan came back. It is shown in the difference from the mother forcing the father to even say goodbye to Alan before leaving for an event to them freely saying "I love you." during a phone call at the end of the film. Not trying excuse it, but physically fighting against a bully was much more encouraged in that time. Also, his father apologized and mentioned he did not know the details of the bullying situation.

[@Meredith-df8fz]

Yes, I would have liked more if they explored what happened to his parents when he disappeared and his depression

[@Stacey-h5x]

0:01 Yes, and many people also imply that it is Alan who should have apologized to his father and not the other way around.

[@1femalegeek]

The movie is based on the book "Jumanji" which is written by Chris Van Allsburg who also wrote the books "The Polar Express" and "Zathura" that had movies made based on them as well

"Run...it's a STAMPEDE!!!!" - Alan Parrish Famously said by the late, great actor Robin Williams(1951-2014). Rest Forever In Peace.😔🙏

[@sakbromely]

The instructions say that the effects of the game would reset when a player wins the game. Because the game started 26 years before-hand it was reset to that point

[@ScorpionStrike7]

Rest In Peace, Robin Williams

[@arkabit4452]

The fact is that these movies took their story seriously, many fantasy movies and tv series make fun and gags about their own world, so the audience does not feel any urgency and threat, and empathy at all.

[@aaronalbritton-matthews86]

One of my favorite movie of Robin Williams plus on my birthday is a huge bonus you got yourself a new sub. Thank you.

[@Kazuma_DoubleIce]

There is a spin off movie that has the same idea of a cursed board game, can't remember the name of it, but I do remember a part of the movie where the MC's house is the last part of the earth standing after the game summoned a black hole and swallowd 99% of the planet.
