Welcome back to another episode of The Video Store Podcast, where we dust off the shelves of our beloved cinematic archives to recommend our favorite films. This week, we're diving into the realm of 80s science fiction, a time when storytelling met groundbreaking (and sometimes questionable) special effects. So, grab your popcorn, because we have a lineup that's sure to teleport you back to a golden age of sci-fi.First on our list is "The Philadelphia Experiment" (1984). This film takes us on a wild ride with its tale of a military experiment gone awry, launching two sailors into the future. The blend of time travel, suspense, and a touch of romance makes this a unique pick for anyone who loves a good conspiracy theory mixed with their science fiction.Next, we're talking about "D.A.R.Y.L." (1985), a heartwarming story about a young boy who is not what he seems. This movie explores themes of humanity, identity, and what it means to be alive, all through the lens of a child who is actually a government-created android. Then, we shift our focus to "Wavelength" (1983), a film that's a bit of a hidden gem among 80s sci-fi. It combines elements of alien encounters with government conspiracies, set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in the 1980s. With its unique storytelling and atmospheric tension, "Wavelength" is perfect for those who love their sci-fi with a side of eerie mystery.Finally, we cap off this episode with "Brainstorm" (1983), a film that was truly ahead of its time. Starring Christopher Walken, this movie looks into the possibilities and dangers of technological advancements in brain-computer interfaces. It's puts front and center the ethical dilemmas that can arise in science, with special effects that, while dated, still manage to convey the awe-inspiring potential of human innovation.Each of these films offers a different take on 80s sci-fi, from adventures across time to explorations of what it means to be human. They remind us of a time when special effects weren't the only stars of the show, but stores mattered more. So, whether you're a long-time fan of the genre or new to these classics, there's something here for everyone.That wraps up this episode description of The Video Store Podcast. We hope these recommendations inspire you to explore the vast universe of 80s science fiction. Until next time, keep rewinding those tapes.

In yet another delayed episode I interview twitch streamer android_dreams to see what games he's chosen to be stuck with until the end of time. After some electrical issues at home slowing me down, this episode has ended up a little bit longer than expected, but again I didn't want to cut too much out of what had been a really great talk around some great games selected. If you want to know more about android_dreams, or you'd like to show some love and support, you can find him at twitch.tv/android_dreams As always, thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy, and have a good one.

Blade Runner 2049 has been met with generally good reviews and smaller than anticipated audiences. Find out why two of the Regular Joes are among those enthusiastic about this long awaited follow up to Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic, and the third…not so much. Does the film stand on its own, or is it a sequel in the truest sense? Can you recreate a world crafted with old school practical effects in the age of CGI? And, how does 2049’s attempt at digital actor replication compare to other recent examples? While this show, shockingly, contains no discussion of Star Trek Discovery, a commensurate amount of time is given to the most recently announced Star Wars film title. WARNING this episode does contain SPOILERS, particularly if you haven’t heard the next “A Star Wars Story” film is named after a plastic beer cup. All this plus What’s in the Box/Show and Tell. Thanks for listening!
