Episode 21: The Last Starfighter (1984)

A boy dreams of leaving his trailer park, only to end up in outer space defending the galaxy in the 1984 movie, The Last Starfighter. The movie features an alien race with Mr. Burns haircuts, the most reluctant hero ever, and plenty of "homages" to another popular film franchise (hint: it rhymes with Bar Doors.) Join us for an episode that features tangents about The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, Passenger 57, and the entire theme song from Blossom (it makes sense in context, honest.) When all is said and done, we find out if The Last Starfighter stands the Test of Time.
