The Last Starfighter

GenXGrownUp Podcast

He’s shocked to find out the game was a training & recruitment tool for actual intergalactic pilots, and his performance has earned him entry into an elite space force! Now, on its fortieth anniversary, we are remembering and celebrating the landmark GenX sci-fi adventure film, The Last Starfighter!
