Why does the guy say at about 34min "-I was a lost soul myself" "-really?" "-Tetris."
Why does he say Tetris?

The implication being that he spent so much time playing the game he became obsessed, and it consumed his life. There's even a psychological phenomenon named after the game, which has to do with the cognitive effects of its repetitive nature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect.

Thanks! There's also an official game released in 2020 called "Tetris Effect", maybe after that...

As a former Tetris head myself, that was the biggest laugh out loud moment of the entire film for me.

Haha me too. I can still remember a time in my life when I couldn't close my eyes without seeing those falling blocks...literally.
