This week on Back in the Day with John and Jay, we’re blasting off to 1984 to revisit the sci-fi adventure that turned an ordinary kid into an intergalactic hero: The Last Starfighter. Join us as we journey through this beloved cult classic that had every gamer dreaming of a cosmic adventure.
John and Jay will break down the film's thrilling plot, where young Alex Rogan (Lance Guest) goes from a trailer park video game ace to a real-life starfighter pilot in a distant galaxy. We’ll discuss the groundbreaking special effects that brought space battles to life and why this movie remains a cherished gem in the sci-fi genre.
Get ready for a deep dive into the film’s mix of heart and high-stakes action. We’ll explore the characters, from the wise and mysterious Centauri (Robert Preston) to the loyal and brave Grig (Dan O’Herlihy). Expect plenty of laughs as we reminisce about the 80s arcade culture that inspired Alex’s journey and how the movie made us all believe that playing video games could save the universe.
