Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravanagh Garbage where we're taking a look at movies that are loosely based around video games, but they're not based on particular video games.

Whoa, you're blowing my mind. Can you explain that at another different way?

We'll cover Gamer at some point. Does that help? The movie Gamer? That helps. Okay, good. Because we've all seen that. That's a cultural touchstone.

We can all relate to and extrapolate out to this movie, which is the last Starfighter. That's right. From 1980 something? Four, that's right. One year after the Return of the Jedi, which is not the sweet spot for Star Wars content. Everybody knows that's five years after Return of the Jedi. Correct, 1989. Eight? Yep.

So please leave a like for the last Starfighter.

Interesting movie.

Go on.

I think also interesting in the sense that this was in the wake of Star Wars fever.

And there were a bunch of knockoffs.

There was like Battle Beyond the Stars, Flash Gordon, He-Men, Turkish Star Wars, all of these different things.

Which people called a Turkish delight. Did they? Yeah. I thought they said it was bad. It wasn't a delight at all. That's what they meant. Oh, okay. Cultural... Racism. Cultural racism. Cultural racism. I don't like it. I don't like it. There's none in this video.

I agree.

I agree.

Did you see this movie at the time?

No, Mason, I didn't because I was one years old.

One year old. Unless my parents dragged me into the cinema. They might have. Crying. They love Last Starfighters. They don't know Last Starfighter. They love arcade machines. They love unrealistic arcade machines that couldn't have possibly existed at the time. It's alien stuff, James.

That shit makes me angry, though. Why, but it's aliens? No, no, no. I hate, and I had a real problem with this as a kid, and Tron does the same thing. Oh, so you did see this as a kid, though? Yeah, I saw it as a kid because it was on TV or whatever. Because I saw it today. Okay, right. first time. It's when you see a video game in a movie

and it looks incredible, but it's

not a real video game. Sure. Because as a kid, you're like, wow, I'm going to go play this video game. And then you look at the adaptation video games of Tron. It's nothing like playing Tron games. So when you saw like Iron Man, you were like, I'm going to go out and purchase my own Iron Man suit. Oh, they don't make them.

This is unrealistic.

I'm mad.

This is different.
