Flight of the Navigator (1986)
057 - This movie THRIVED on VHS (but less so at the box office) and has become a cult classic for many. We barely remembered it, so figured it was time for a revisit. There is quite a bit to unpack here - like, why did the director of Grease make a sharp pivot to Sci-fi? How did this go from a Norwegian indie, to a Disney epic? Why does the spaceship sound like Pee-wee Herman (we get that it's Paul Ruebens, but...). Join us on a journey through time and space, as we decide whether this cult hit holds up today, or is best left in the past.
