PING PONG SUMMER Trailer

Rarely has a film ever captured my childhood quite like Michael Tully‘s Ping Pong Summer.  Taking place in Ocean City, MD, where I spent many days as youth, this is a film that isn’t just another ’80s spoof, but a movie that feels like it was actually made during that time period.  It’s filled with corny dialogue, outlandish characters, and of course, some great montages.

A new trailer for the film has been released in anticipation of the film’s theatrical and VOD release on June 6th.  Click here to check out an episode of our podcast where we review the film, and check back closer to the release for an interview with director Michael Tully.  For now, hit the break and view the trailer.

The year is 1985. Rad Miracle is a shy 13-year-old white kid who’s obsessed with two things: ping pong and hip hop. During his family’s annual summer vacation to Ocean City, Maryland, Rad makes a new best friend, experiences his first real crush, becomes the target of rich local bullies, and finds an unexpected mentor in his outcast next-door neighbor. Ping Pong Summer is about that time in your life when you’re treated like an alien by everyone around you, even though you know deep down you’re as funky fresh as it gets.
