Episode 787: When people talk about the summer movies of 1986, the conversation usually starts with Top Gun and ends somewhere around Aliens, The Karate Kid Part II, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was one of the strongest movie summers of the decade, packed with blockbusters that still dominate pop-culture conversations 40 years later. But every great movie season leaves a few worthy titles behind. This week on Stuck in the '80s, we revisit four films from the summer of 1986 that may not get the attention they deserve today: SpaceCamp, Legal Eagles, Nothing in Common, and Ruthless People. Each offered something unique, even if they were overshadowed by bigger releases. Support Our Sponsors Ready for the ultimate nostalgia vacation?

The Summer of 86 at 40 is a weekly retrospective journey through United States pop culture surrounding the films released in May, June, July and August of 1986. Brandon Peters, Scott Mendelson and Aaron Neuwirth take a weekend by weekend look at the films released as well as the news stories, commercials, television and music that rounded out the general public’s lives as they lined the pockets of the box office to see these movies. June 6-8, 1986: We aren’t quite to Arnold as king of the blockbuster yet, he has his hits and misses such as Raw Deal. Tobe Hooper joins us for the first of two films this summer in his Invaders From Mars remake. Suffering through My Little Pony is also worth it to get to spend time with Lea Thompson in Spacecamp! We’ll also be discussing the box office report, notable news stories, a 1986 commercial, the top 10 Nielsen rated tv programs for the week and the top 10 of Casey Kasem’s American top 40 from the week these films were released.

Kids in spaaaaaaaace! Take 2. Vi var ikke tilfredse med bare at sende tyske børn ud i rummet, så nu går vi tilbage til 80'erne og sender 5 teenagere ud på en uplanlagt mission med en rumfærge. Det lyder jo som en fantastisk historie, så hvordan kan det være, at denne film ikke er blevet en klassiker? Måske har det noget at gøre med, hvad der ellers skete i 1986? https://www.ikassenshow.dk/2026/04/i-kassen-1259-spacecamp-1986.html

An earlier version of this episode got corrupted on export, so the audio cut out part of the way into the episode. That has been fixed in this version. Apologies for the inconvenience! - Dr. Danny Jaques, a 36-year veteran science educator, Space Camp Hall of Famer, and founder of Danny's Rocket Ranch, joins Beth for a review of the Project Hail Mary film adaptation. A lifelong educator who has taken nearly 600 students to Space Camp and spent decades bringing science to life in the classroom, Danny brings a perspective to this conversation that you simply cannot get anywhere else. Beth and Danny dig into what works, what got left on the cutting room floor, and what the film means for the next generation of students, astrobiologists, and space dreamers who will walk out of the theater wanting to know more. If you haven't read the book yet, consider this your sign. Then come back and listen to this.

Get ready for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Weekly! With snow falling across the country, we’re uncovering the cool science behind why snow is white, and then tuning into the Universe to explore the secret signals streaming across our galaxies. In Science in the News, scientists warn that great white sharks could vanish from the Mediterranean, renewable energy has smashed records across the UK, and Katherine Brown explains how the world around us shapes what we think, want and choose following the UK’s new junk food advertising ban. Then it’s time for your questions! Henry wants to know why mammals do not lay eggs, and Kirsty McCabe explains the surprising science behind why snow is white. Dangerous Dan returns with a truly strange creature from the past… the gigantic and mysterious Deinocheirus. And in Battle of the Sciences, Steven Tingay from Curtin University takes us deep into the world of radio astronomy, revealing how scientists listen to the Universe. Plus, we blast off with Space Camp to discover where weather really comes from and how satellites help us track storms, pollution and climate change. This week, we learn about: Why snow looks white instead of clear Why mammals do not lay eggs The danger facing great white sharks How scientists listen to space using radio waves Why weather satellites are so important for Earth All that and more on this week’s Science Weekly!
Choose your fighter for the origin of water on Earth! Was it always here or did it come to this planet from somewhere else in space? And, either way, what does this mean for other water worlds in our galaxy? To find out, we talk with Michael Wong, an astrobiologist and planetary scientist at Carnegie Science. He gets into scientists' strongest candidates for the ways water could have come to our planet many, many years ago – including whether it could have been made here. Buckle up: This is a hot debate in astrobiology right now.If you enjoyed this episode, check out our Space Camp series and our episode on whether life started on the ocean floor..Interested in more space science and more unresolved hypotheses about how the universe came to be how it is today?

Humankind has the technology to go to space. Space architect Ariel Ekblaw says the bottleneck now is real estate: getting larger volumes of space stations in orbit. Her company is working on the equivalent of giant, magnetic space Legos—hexagons that could self-assemble in space into livable, workable structures. This episode, host Regina G. Barber talks to her about this space architecture and why she says that the goal isn't to abandon Earth–but to off-world industries like agriculture and manufacturing in order to build a better Earth.If you liked this episode, check out our Space Camp series.Interested in more space tech episodes?

Welcome back to Retro Life 4 You, where we dive deep into the movies that defined the 80s and 90s!Today's episode blasts off—literally—as we look at the 1986 family sci-fi adventure SpaceCamp, directed by Harry Winer.SpaceCamp follows a group of teenage space camp attendees who unexpectedly find themselves launched into space after a robot malfunction triggers a shuttle ignition. Suddenly forced into a real-life NASA emergency, the young crew must work together, think fast, and rely on their training if they want to make it home safely.It's a movie fueled by 80's optimism, NASA fandom, and the belief that kids could do anything—even command a space shuttle.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

I'm so jealous, because in this week's episode the Duggars get to go somewhere I always dreamed of going: Space Camp! There weren't any space skirts so the older Duggirls had to stay in their regular uniform. The kids got decked out in a jumpsuit, did the flight simulator, and the mission control simulator. Ugh, that was my dream as a child. In this week's Dig, Whitney takes us through Pest's response...to the government's response to his 2255 filing. He definitely tried to spice things up with many creative writing touches. Old Billy G would be proud at the amount of self-aggrandizing and metaphors. Like what you hear?

Crystal Skillman is an internationally award-winning playwright, fictional podcast writer, and comic book author who has written for Stories Podcast (Wondery Kids), Girl Tales, Adventure Time comics, as well as Marvel comics. In addition to Open and The Rocket Men, Crystal is the dramatist of RAIN AND ZOE SAVE THE WORLD (premiered in the UK in 2022) and the NYTimes Critics' Pick plays GEEK, CUT, and KING KIRBY which you can listen to on Broadway Podcast Network.We talk about the big issues of history, war, justice and art. We focus on her new play 'The Rocket Men.' The Rocket Men is a unique theatrical experience that carries us through time in a blink of an eye to present the story of the German "Rocket Men" who used their scientific skills to flee Nazi Germany and settle in the most unlikely of places...North Alabama. These men form the backbone of NASA's rocketry program.In this modern play, women (employees at Space Camp), step into roles playing the men focusing on Heinz- Hermann Koelle, a lesser-known young German rocketeer, who joined this "Operation Paperclip" team years later; Rocket Men explores the dynamic relationship of Wernher von Braun and Koelle as these two have set their sights on getting us to the Moon and beyond.But as the play counts down to the launch of Apollo 11, Koelle is befriended by a Jewish engineer hell-bent on exposing the truth: the Germans' technology is based on the V-2 rockets built by slave labor.Played by six female-identifying women who force us to theatrically re-examine this explosive story - still widely not known in America - “The Rocket Men” asks who gets to be remembered in the history books, and why?

This week, we're presenting stories about the struggle to find acceptance — whether it's at Space Camp or in the United States of America.Part 1: Computer scientist LaShana Lewis's childhood dream of attending Space Camp starts to feel far away — until she gets the Christmas surprise of a lifetime. Part 2: When Guizella Rocabado leaves her home in Bolivia to pursue her education in the United States, her plan hits an unexpected snag. LaShana Lewis grew up in East St. Louis, Illinois, where a love of the night sky led her to the Saint Louis Science Center as a longtime volunteer, and later a docent presenting talks on astronomy and aeronautics. She studied computational mathematics at Michigan Technological University, earned a HarvardX honor certificate in computer science, and attended NASA Space Camp. Now based in Los Angeles, LaShana serves on the board of STEAM Superheroes, a nonprofit inspired by Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols' legacy, and leads L. M. Lewis Consulting, bringing over 20 years of experience in tech, strategy, and inclusive leadership. Dr. Guizella Rocabado is an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Her research focuses on chemistry education. She is mainly interested in uncovering the narratives of success of students from all backgrounds. Bringing diversity to STEM fields is a great focus of her work. Her current projects involve the development and testing of instruments for use with diverse populations to investigate the role of the affective domain in undergraduate STEM learning and persistence. In her spare time she loves to travel, try new foods and meet new people.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
