To the eyes of American businessmen, Steven Spielberg’s E.T. needed only one improvement: He didn’t endorse enough American products. Enter Mac, the curious, magical, whistling alien who’s separated from his strangely proportioned family on Earth and nursed back to strength with a combination of Skittles, Coca-Cola, and a trip to the liveliest McDonalds in America.
A garish, capitalist rip-off of one of the biggest hits of the ‘80s, Mac and Me has remained an internet curio for over 35 years. Now, thanks to Vinegar Syndrome’s first-of-its-kind 4K upgrade, every disastrous detail of this premium and fascinating so-bad-it’s-good adventure is available in the highest quality yet.
