The Last Starfighter (1984)Whitey and Gow, and are back with another deep dive into a classic, and today we're joined by none other than Will the Plumber – our long-time fan and guest host for this episode.In the heart of the 1980s, a time when arcades reigned supreme and science fiction cinema was shaping itself into a formidable genre, Nick Castle's "The Last Starfighter" made its debut. A lesser-known gem compared to its contemporaries, the film crafts a narrative that is as old as storytelling itself – the ordinary individual thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Plot OverviewAlex Rogan (portrayed by Lance Guest) is the quintessential everyman, a teenager bound by the limitations of his trailer park home and the lure of a nearby arcade game. His talent for the game "Starfighter" isn't just a teen's idle pastime; it becomes the golden ticket to a grander universe. The arcade game, unbeknownst to Alex, is a recruiting tool for an extraterrestrial alliance in need of pilots to defend the cosmos. As he navigates this newfound responsibility, the narrative unfolds.Highlights1. Relatable Hero's Journey: At its core, "The Last Starfighter" is a manifestation of the hero's journey, made famous by mythologist Joseph Campbell. Alex's transformation from an arcade champ to a cosmic hero is a timeless tale, making him a character audiences can root for.2. Innovative Visuals: The film made pioneering efforts in computer-generated imagery (CGI). For the first time, audiences witnessed an entire fleet of spaceships, starry dogfights, and alien landscapes brought to life without traditional model-based special effects. The graphical innovation set a precedent for what would become commonplace in future films.3. Supporting Cast: Beyond Guest's lead performance, the film features an ensemble of rich characters. Robert Preston's Centauri, the enigmatic recruiter, and Dan O'Herlihy's Grig, Alex's reptilian co-pilot, add layers of humour and heart to the narrative.Lowlights1. Tropes and Predictability: While the narrative is endearing, it often treads familiar grounds. The elements of the 'chosen one', the unsuspecting hero, and the grand battle against evil, although classic, can feel derivative.2. Aged Visual Effects: Though the film's CGI was groundbreaking in 1984, it has not aged gracefully. Modern audiences accustomed to the technological marvels of today's cinematic universes may find the graphics dated and less immersive.3. Character Depth: Alex Rogan's journey is undoubtedly compelling, but several secondary characters are deprived of a deeper narrative. The film's focus on its protagonist sometimes sidelines the richness that could have been derived from its diverse cast of characters.Cultural Impact and Legacy"The Last Starfighter" presents an interesting blend of Earthly nostalgia and space fantasy. At a time when arcade gaming was emerging as a significant subculture, the film's premise of a game being a gateway to a larger universe was novel. It became a part of the era's zeitgeist that championed the underdog, made evident in films like "Star Wars" and "Back to the Future". The film's synthesis of video gaming culture and sci-fi fantasy is arguably its most enduring legacy. In retrospect, it was ahead of its time, predicting a world where gaming would have ramifications beyond the screen. Today, as we witness the rise of virtual realities and e-sports champions, "The Last Starfighter" feels almost prophetic.ConclusionFor those who grew up in the 80s or those with an affinity for vintage sci-fi, "The Last Starfighter" is a nostalgic ride. It encapsulates a time when stories were unapologetically optimistic, when the ordinary could touch the stars, and when defeating a video game could earn you a place in a galactic battle.Despite its shortcomings and aged CGI, the movie still resonates with its core message – that hidden within the mundane can be the seeds of the extraordinary. It serves as a testament to the timeless allure of the hero's journey and stands as a tribute to an era that dreamt of galaxies far, far away, one arcade game at a time.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

If you've ever dreamt of being so good at a video game that it leads to your recruitment to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada. Then get in loser! We're going back to 1984 to The Last Starfighter. Luke Skywalker....er....Alex Rogan has been playing Star Wars....er....Starfighter at the farm....er....trailer park for longer than I care to remember. Literally. The Last Starfighter is one of the earliest adopters of cgi in supporting a hefty part of a films aesthetic. And although it's glaringly obvious, there is a certain charm in the fact that the cgi generated universe resembles an actual video game. Robert Preston and Catherine Mary Stewart are a breath of fresh air, wonderfully offsetting Lance Guests' acting deficit. Funnily enough, the deployment of Alex's (Lance Guest) beta unit in the movie makes his primary character feel pretty stable. Until he deploys the Death Blossom that is! Curious? I thought so.

Steve & Izzy continue The "Last" Month, a celebration of movie with "Last" in the title, as they are joined by No on 15!

While on the road, Aislinn learns more about a strange character called Sir Perenthenius, who was a noble knight lycanthroped into a sloth. This mysterious story is from one of the abyssal books from Daxuur's Library. The Disciples of Sinjin finally arrive in the beautiful bronze, silver and gold decorated city of Ventark. They get information on the pilgrimage to the ancient silver dragon, Bardoon. They unexpectedly meet Miltross, the ancient bronze dragon. Enid receives a disturbing vision in her sleep from a Death Blossom. The girls have an awkward shopping experience at Marty's Magical Mysteries & More. The party hikes up Hollow's Peak toward their pilgrimage but first make a detour to visit Nanashi, a person Cardin told them to seek out. On their path they encounter many warning signs and traps before finding Nanashi and his air ship. Nanashi recounts his adventures (and the audience learns about some of the characters we played in a previous campaign, Titanfell). Sinjin gives Enid a letter. ****** Background music credit: Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we finish our series on 2003's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. We talk about the unfortunate elevator sequence, the final platforming of the game, its circular story and of course, our takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Finished the Game Podcast breakdown: 0:52 Prince of Persia 56:16 Break 56:46 Takeaways and Feedback Issues covered: rewinding time, feeling bad about the elevator section, spending two hours on one combat encounter, leaning on the worst things of the combat system, tight space, companion AI, being unable to see the Prince, being able to render more stuff and having that in tension with what you want to see, the "Kung Fu Circle," using the death blossom and wanting fewer sand bubbles, taking away all the things I enjoyed about the combat, the rewind resource, feeling over-designed, "fun is challenge," the history of challenge in digital game design, tightness and the tension with other goals, being too good at your game at the end, giving a lot of verbs that are fluidly deployed via context, trying to jump away but instead running me up an enemy, help me look cool getting away, not making the lock-on specific, finding the right balance for players, advocating for how to make your enemies/systems look great, the value of a locked camera, Tim looks up the solution to an audio puzzle, more puzzle discussions, misreading a puzzle and having a good moment, long checkpoints for the final exam, flipping the difficulty, really demonstrating how far the Prince has come by holding the blade edge of the dagger, maybe missing some of the transitions, rewinding the whole story back to the beginning so he tells this wild story (tying into the failures), the grand vizier trope, the cobra staff, compressing character development, the right difficulty for the final boss, doing a deep reading of the Prince disrobing through the game, not loving the rewound smooch, Brett's Book Recommendation, those mechanics that are just Great Ideas, allowing for soft failure and experimentation, contextual traversal (and combat), making the player look awesome with gentler difficulty, distilling down/all killer no filler, allowing for games that are shorter, the excellence of the animation blending system to achieve fluidity, the history of that fluidity to the original, the narrative space, trying different things in the narrative, how much we use mods, grief and games, the way games are more fixed in time, playing single player games with friends, getting streaming now, where to add quality of life improvements, asking why and what a game is about, Mister E. Dip, the sweet spot for Animal Crossing quality of life, "would fast travel help this game," being in the natural world, where the interesting friction is.

John Serpico of ImprovBoston and True Tales of the Illuminati joins us to talk about one of his childhood faves: The Last Starfighter!Image Description: A space car that is actually not modeled after the car from Back to the Future (because that wouldn't come out for another year!) has just pulled up in the night time next to a neon sign for a trailer court. Here's John's hazy summary:"The movie revolves around a young man (let's call him Lance) who obsessively played a video game (called The Last Starfighter, I think) in his small town. I think he lived in an RV park, and everything in that RV park had this deeply 80s brown to it. If I remember right, it kind of looked like Zefram Cochrane's compound from Star Trek First Contact. So he played this game a ton, eventually beat it, and was then immediately recruited by a space military to pilot an experimental fighter in their war against some faceless enemy with a weird name like The Globs or The Zoms or something. I am deliberately not going to Wikipedia. It turns out that the video game was secretly a recruiting tool for this space military, and Lance is the best in... the UNIVERSE! So off he goes into space. On Earth, the space military replaces Lance with a robot so that his girlfriend and family don't know he's gone. Why the space military would send a robot instead of just having the guy write a note saying "A friend of mine in another state needs me and I'll be back in two weeks" I'll never know. Probably for the laughs. Anyway, the guy trains on how to fly the real fighter and his mentor is a dude that looks like The Thing from Fantastic Four. Eventually, it's time for the battle with The Blorps and eventually the guy has to hit a big red button and execute a maneuver called "The Death Blossom," which makes his fighter spin around like a gyroscope and shoot lasers wildly in every direction. Apparently you needed to search the galaxy for a person capable of deftly hitting a red button. Galaxy is saved, Lance goes home. Robot Lance... does... something? Starts a detective agency? Turns into a robot dog? Nods knowingly and fades away like a Jedi? Something like that. But yeah, The Last Starfighter."Was he right? Sort of! We dive deep in this one, which turns out to be a rollercoaster of shifting opinions and film tones! This was a pioneer of CGI! Annnnnd like most pioneers of tech, it looks really dated 35 years after the fact. John says the movie doesn't really make sense, and hated it upon rewatching, but Julia and Geoffrey talk him around into … not hating it? Maybe? Many of the lessons are surprisingly wholesome! Like:1) You can play video games and still be a well-adjusted non-dork!2) You can work really hard and then end up going off to have epic adventures and saving the earth, and your whole community could actually be supportive of this plan and even want you to be happy!3) If you are a woman, maybe it is okay sometimes to not be forced into a caretaker role forever, and instead have some adventures of your own in space! 4) Younger siblings who see their older siblings' decapitated heads will be totally fine and not traumatized by it!
