Revisited: The Last Starfighter

Guys Of A Certain Age

The challenge was issued: pick a movie all The Guys would watch (again, presumably - yes, even Jay had seen this one, he thought). Then come back and talk about how it held up 39 years later. Wait, what??

It’s been 39 years since The Last Starfighter hit the silver screen? That’s right. It was a cutting edge science fiction flick when it came to digital graphics, but what do those cutting edge scenes look like now? And most importantly, is this a movie begging for a remake? The Guys talk all that along with a nod to The Music Man himself, Robert “Centauri” Preston.

Back on Earth, Robbie tells about his recent trip to a space-age concert venue in Vegas (but he won’t tell what happened) and brings us up to speed on all things Who. Art listened to a new old Beatles song, and while Robbie walked the F1 racetrack, Jay went back to his NASCAR roots by way of an X-wing Fighter. Buckle up!
