We're going obscure again with the true cult classic Remote Control from 1988! In this movie from the writer and director of other beloved cult hits such as Just Before Dawn and Blue Sunshine comes this sort of tribute, parody, and wild take on 1950s alien invasion stories through a 1980s lens. There isn't a whole lot like this one, and neither would it be allowed to exist outside of the era it was made. You would never see anything like Remote Control today.
Of course, the movie isn't perfect, but it has an undeniable charm. It is especially effective for those who lived in the era the film was made. Your mileage may vary, and we go into why in today's episode. Control yourself!
Randy's Score: 2/5
