An 80s something Paulo didn't know and even though Robert Downey Junior as George Michael wasn't funny at all, it was still better than Doolittle.Paulo recommends an 80s teen time travel movie that would be the best 80s teen time travel movie - if Back to the Future 1, Back to the Future 2, Peggy Sue Got Married, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or Flight of the Navigator didn't exist.You'll never guess who the richest actress from the 80s is and imagine ignoring the unknown opening act at an 80s Hall & Oates concert - only to look back from the bar and see that the lead singer is Cher.Jump To: - Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Michael Hall on SNL (00:01:44): https://x.com/georgekyria/status/1680616447431565312?utm_source=chatgpt.com - Christiania Podcast (00:12:28): https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/598-christiania/ - My Science Project Overview (00:23:02): https://youtu.be/Vlqmk2URDFY?si=Wmi58nMtlzMq3xcM - Jamie Gertz's Wealth (00:31:19): https://www.2oceansvibe.com/2025/05/09/this-billionaire-you-forgot-from-the-80s-is-richer-than-taylor-swift-and-clooney-combined/ - Cher's Rock Band (00:33:05): https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cher-black-rose/https://youtu.be/bbtmMV_OAN0?si=VOHdIx9Pqnm-Kl3F#1980s, #pop culture, #Robert Downey Jr., #Anthony Michael Hall, #Saturday Night Live, #SNL, #Brat Pack, #Sixteen Candles, #The Breakfast Club, #Less Than Zero, #nostalgia, #Christiania, #Copenhagen, #alternative community, #drug use, #countercultural movement, #Bifrost, #flower power rock band, #Icon, #99% Invisible, #sci-fi teen movies, #Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, #Explorers, #The Last Starfighter, #Flight of the Navigator, #My Science Project, #female billionaires, #Oprah Winfrey, #Jamie Gertz, #Cher, #Black Rose, #entertainment industry, #cultural landscape, #humor, #addiction, #legacy of 80s stars, #comedy, #creativity, #chaos.

One of the best birthday presents I could ever get!I am delighted and honored that Catherine took some time to answer my questions so I could share them with you here.

I want to take this opportunity to again thank Catherine Mary Stewart for her contributions to '80s pop culture, especially with her roles in that classic film and, even more, for going back to the '80s for a little while with us here as well.If you have not watched the underrated gem of a movie, rent it now on Amazon Prime and have your children watch it, too. It's a great movie about bravery and exploration – and there's a little bit of a love tale, as well.

Join us as we break down Alex Rogan's journey from trailer park dreamer to intergalactic hero, analyze the memorable characters like the charming Centauri and lovable Grig, and laugh at the delightfully over-the-top villainy of Xur.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Doug back on the podcast as we discuss the 1984 sci-fi/horror flick Night of the Comet.  This comet is amazing.  Some people get vaporized, some people get turned into zombies.  For the few lucky enough to be indoors, behind lead lined walls, the apocalypse waits for you.  The special effects are pretty bad, and the plot is a total mess, but we all had fun breaking this down.  The girl from Last Starfighter (previous episode) "stars" in this along with a total no-name cast.  Enjoy the dream sequence within a dream sequence and enjoy the podcast.

Many have donned the Michael Myers mask throughout the “Halloween” franchise, but only one was the original Shape — Nick Castle. Tune in to hear all about playing this iconic villain in John Carpenter's 1978 classic, the story behind his return to the franchise in Blumhouse's trilogy, and we even chat a bit about some of his writing and directing credits — “Escape from New York,” “The Last Starfighter” and “Tag: The Assassination Game.”

In this episode, we dive into the 1984 cult classic *The Last Starfighter.* We explore the groundbreaking use of CGI in the film, the story of Alex Rogan, an ordinary teen recruited to become an intergalactic hero, and how this film still resonates with audiences today. We also discuss the movie's place in sci-fi history and the ongoing rumors of a sequel or reboot. Plus a little bit of fandom news, your feedback, and some important housekeeping!

We're talking “The Last Starfighter” Tim Williams from 80's Flick Flashback, Joe Fulton the Christmas Aficionado, and DJ Chad Sheppard.Alex Rogan is a regular kid from a trailer park. When he beats the high score on a starfighter arcade machine, an alien named Centauri recruits him to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada. Centauri takes him to space where he meets his copilot Grig, but the overwhelming expanse of his new responsibilities scares Alex. He demands to be taken home. Reluctantly, Centauri agrees.Back home, however, a Xandoxan assassin is hunting Alex. After defeating the alien, Alex learns of the destruction of the entire fleet. He returns to the starport, mounts his gunstar, and launches a solo attack on the armada, destroying it with the death blossom attack. He subsequently returns to Earth, picks up his girlfriend, and flies back into space to rebuild the gunstar fleet.Aliens? Check. Cool space battles? Yep. Christmas?

In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Bryant Dillon and special guests Craig Miller (marketing consultant on The Last Starfighter, original Director of Fan Relations at Lucasfilm, writer - Star Wars Memories, More Movie Memories), Corinna Bechko (writer - The Space Between, Avatar: Adapt or Die), and Scott Rubin (writer - Naming Your Little Geek: The Complete List of Comic, Game, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Names, toy reviewer - ActionFigureInsider.com) participate in a thorough discussion regarding The Last Starfighter (1984) in light of the film's 40th anniversary, with topics including memories from the marketing and release of the film, how the film mythologizes video arcade games, whether the film speaks to destiny in regards to the hero's journey, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for The Last Starfighter abound in this panel discussion!)

The stories we love often involve teen and younger kids jumping into a mech suit, picking up a lightsaber, or using their superpowers to fight for justice, sometimes quite literally going to war. Yet in our own world, we generally recognize that using children to fight wars or enforce justice through violence is wrong, dangerous, and incredibly harmful. How do we reconcile those two ideas?Riki and Matthew talk about stories like Gundam, Star Wars, Ender's Game, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Last Starfighter through the lens of child soldiers. They explore a number of questions including:Why does so much of our media focus on kids jumping into the fight?What are the ethical questions raised by adults marshaling children for war?Is there a difference between adults telling kids to fight, vs. kids who volunteer, often against the express wishes of the adults?Is an 18th birthday a magic line, and all fighting on one side is wrong, but on the other is okay? Are some 16-year-olds better able to handle fighting than other 21-year-olds?Bonus member content on the idea of episodic television shows in Star Wars.  We've started the conversation.

We know... we know.... We should have saved The Last Starfighter for our next "Kid Month" but Charlie pulled rank when he heard that it's been 40ish years since Pete's seen it and Nate can't remember if he had (spoiler, he hadn't). Even though it's really meant for kids, the nostalgia generated hit the cast like an avalanche and all the feels came bubbling to the surface. Have you ever heard a grown man swoon?  Here's your chance.

Beginning in 2015, fans of 1984's "The Last Starfighter" were thrilled when a potential sequel was teased. That excitement was buoyed when “Rogue One” scribe Gary Whitta announced he was working with Jon on the project—and ultimately released concept art for the film in 2021. Sadly, however, those hopes were dashed in September 2022, when Whitta responded to a fan on Twitter, writing, “To be honest there's a decent chance it never happens.” And since then, there have been no updates.On this episode, Will chats with Jonathan Betuel, the writer of "The Last Starfighter," about the origins of the film, his experience with arcade games, and whether a potential sequel is still in the works.00:00 - Introduction06:05 - Interview: Jonathan Betuel42:25 - Wrap-UpSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snowFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Become a patron at www.patreon.com/1980snowEmail us at will@1980snow.com or kat@1980snow.com.

It’s been 40 years since the release of 1984’s “The Last Starfighter,” so we finally give this visually groundbreaking film its due. Did we find the early CGI effects as charming as the plot of a small town kid becoming a galactic hero in the distant reaches of space? Steven Schapansky with Joe Rosensteel, Cicero Holmes, David J. Loehr and Erika Ensign.
