In this episode, we dive into the 1984 cult classic *The Last Starfighter.* We explore the groundbreaking use of CGI in the film, the story of Alex Rogan, an ordinary teen recruited to become an intergalactic hero, and how this film still resonates with audiences today. We also discuss the movie's place in sci-fi history and the ongoing rumors of a sequel or reboot. Plus a little bit of fandom news, your feedback, and some important housekeeping!
