Scramble the best spin team we have!
Jay Benton
Excellent review, I hadn’t thought of this film in years! Something about the beta-in-bed shot made “Invaders from Mars” (‘86) pop into my brain, too. Love it.
DimmieDim
Great video! Great team up!
TheSingingBush
Whoa! I didn’t know there were any jihads in that movie
Banta
Oh no. Tim bringing up Wil Wheaton when it’s not clear he’s even in the movie and Mike isn’t around for the obligatory Star Trek references makes me think that Wil Wheaton is the surprise guest…

RLM: Only the hottest of takes will suffice...!

My husband said he found porn in the woods in Pennsylvania.
Nick Kerr
This movie will always remind me of my awesome grandfather
Paul Randall
Oh, and the woods porn thing was real in St. Joseph Mo. in that general time frame. It was a Penthouse under a rock, lasted like nine months or so, losing pages and pictures torn out, until it finally got wet (rain, perverts) to the point it fell apart. Just that though. Inside was a different story.
Paul Randall
But I thought ET was saccharin shit, too. Still do.

Junior in HS me regarded this as a shameless, lame-o, kiddie-ish Star Wars ripoff. I learned to appreciate it as a good movie later, but that initial taint has never really worn off, either.

You guys should consider an 80s re:View series with My Science Project, The Gate, The Monster Squad, Real Genius.
Rick Drake
Ernest Cline ripped off this movie to write Armada.
andrew
Somehow, “porn in the woods” is a universal truth of the 80s. But we never were able to find porn in the woods in CT.
andrew
RLM is 1 for 1.
Eleanor
You boys did great!!! 🖤
BENJAMIN SHULTZ
Calling The Last Starfighter better than Star Wars…hot damn, this is why I give you guys money.

Everybody talks about the porn of the woods, but nobody ever talks about how it got there. Somebody put it there! You’re all adults. Go buy some porn today and hide it in a discoverable place in the woods. The future needs you.
Marvin Falz
Ah, that's the movie that Mike used in the Phantom Menace review to explain that the audience needed a fish-out-of-water character to explore the story world along with the character. I didn't know that until now.
Beckoning Chasm
Left to right, Josh, Mike Stoklasa age 70, Tim.
THE_GnomeChomskee
Holy crap. I love these two. Finally met now doing a review together. Heck yeah.
Nick Kerr
Now I don't want to go to work! I'm calling the fuck out!!!
Frazzled Doo
I had fun. I trust RLM. You make Positive contributions I very much need, your works Matter.

Instead of tumble weeds.. Blown rolling balls of Penthouse and Swank ..like an 80’s NYC subway with newspapers..except better.
Joan Scott Brockie
Let's gather the troops and watch it at Tim's place!
Amanda Thompson
As a suburban kid, I found a torn page of porn lying in the street. There was no discreet way to take it home, so I had to leave it there. I still wonder about the one that got away...
David S
The discussion of woods porn continues.
DonMac
I hope more different re:View pairing means more re:View episodes in the future.
DonMac
No, but it's the 1st one without Mike, Jay, or Rich in over 6 years
Tony Dupre
We've had Jack and Mack as well as Josh and Jim.
TooterFishPopkin
TIM AND JOSH!?AAAAAH! CANT WAIT TO GET HOME!
Amanda Thompson
That might be the repressed memory, yes.
Manuel Johnen
Head deforming torture raygun-kill machine...?
JTruts
What a wonderful movie, I hope it's never remade. Tim and Josh is a nice combo, works great!
Manuel Johnen
Ah, "The Last Starfighter"... the Not-Quite-as-Awful-as-"Battle Beyond the Stars"-Dipshit-Star Wars-Rip-Off... ... ... Meh...
casey
that eyepiece was a major character in the movie.
Glenn Ponka
A classic I haven't seen in decades. I recall reading the novelization.
Tom McGraw
yesssss! i guess i need to go watch Last Starfighter now
Sean LaVista
Are Josh and Tim replacing Mike & Jay????
Amanda Thompson
This movie scared me as a child, and I'm not even sure why.
The Real Zam
Is this the first Re:View without Mike, Jay, or Rich Evans?
Brian E. Lindstrand
One of the best moments in 80's genre cinema: Lord Kril: Damage report! Kodan Officer: Guidance system out. Auxiliary navigation out. Lord Kril: Divert! DIVERT! Kodan Officer: She won't answer the helm! We're locked into the moon's gravitational pull. What do we do? [Kril's eyepiece swings into place] Lord Kril: We die.
Kellic
This was unexpected, but much appreciated!
GrowSweeds
This gears my loins.
Spike Spiegel
Looking forward to this
Kendi Lawton
Yay!!
