About this episode
The Last Starfighter.
The 1980s saw a boom in films that would go on to become cult classics with The Princess Bride, Highlander, Spaceballs and so many others capturing hearts when they came out, but more importantly finding an audience in the new home release market.
In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by fellow Starfighter Norman Lao to talk about cult classic The Last Starfighter. We discuss something old and something new, a familiar story, the cast, the effects, the soundtrack, does it hold up and our ratings.
