Episode 7 ~ Flight of the Navigator (1986)



Just in time for the long weekend, we have decided to cover the favorite of everyone who lived in the latter half of the 20th century, Flight of the Navigator from 1986! It's a movie you would have figured would have been remade to death by now but never was. No, this one is still very much an original and worth covering today.

We had seen it many times before in our youth but now was a good time to revisit it and see just how well it holds up despite it being such a staple of a specific time and place. Is the pacing still as off? Was it as low stakes as we remembered? Has it improved with age? Is it as strongly 1980s as we remembered it being?

All of those questions are asked, and answered, in today's episode!

Episode 6 ~ Phantasm (1979)



We're back with a cult classic that one of us covered once long ago! That's right, we've returned to 1979's Phantasm!

There's not much that can be said about the influential independent favorite, except that it is quite unique while also being very influential on what would come down the road. It's also quite the strange watch, even today. You've definitely never seen anything like Phantasm, which makes our discussion all the more interesting.

As always, check out the above episode to hear our full opinions!
