Movie Review: The Last Starfighter

If you have some downtime this Easter Weekend, I've got you covered with a brand new edition of the Everything 80s Movie Review Podcast: The Last StarfighterThis is just for members of the Boba Fett level and above, and today we travel back to 1984 to revisit a movie that was quite ahead of its time.It was hard for The Last Starfighter not to be compared to Star Wars. Still, it was able to go in a unique direction to differentiate itself thematically while also incorporating the world of video games.What we got wasn't necessarily a 1980s Blockbuster, but a movie that more than held its own and was groundbreaking in several ways. In this review, we'll do a plot recap, look at the unique technology that went into it, and even though it was considered a box office disappointment, how it still created a unique legacy.I hope you enjoy this look back at an underrated again, and thank you so much for all the support here on Patreon!-Jamie
