Episode description
What happens when Pee-Wee Herman, Sarah Jessica Parker, and the director of “Grease” join forces in a NASA laboratory to prod a kid's brain and find the start button on a mercurial space ship? We unlock a movie that is part unsolved mystery, part government thriller, part zany comedy, and totally out of this world (even though we barely leave Earth)! Travel back - and forward again - in time with us aboard the technologically ground-breaking Trimaxion Drone Ship (Max) as we study this rare and bizarre specimen from the summer of 1986! Support the show by tossing us some lunch money at ko-fi.com/80shighpodcast. Write an 80's inspired note when you do, and we'll share it on the show!
