This week we’re babbling about time travel film royalty: Flight of the Navigator (1986), directed by Randal Klieser, and starring Joey Cramer, Veronica Cartwright and the voice of Paul Reubens as Max.

Our 80s synth-induced babbling visits the only public toilet in Florida, first gig confessions, futuristic robot post vehicles that still need a Sarah Jessica Parker to help deliver the mail, the most incompetent security this side of a heavily monitored NASA base, and some cows. Count them. Oh, and the best dog-based title sequence ever committed to film.

The film stands the test of time, and is an essential rewatch. Or if you’re one of our younger listeners, you‘ll be able to check out the olden times, when you were encouraged by your parents to go wander in the scary woods all alone, via the railway tracks, at night.

We am, we’ll be.
