On this episode we talk about the modern classic science-fi mystery action movie Super8. This movie gives us all the good early teen movie feels and drags us back to the simpler cinema era of Spielberg, Donner and Reiner films where a gang of kids can get into some crazy adventure and not be apathetic or disaffected about it!

This heart warming and bearably schmaltzy film comes from the mind of the man who has all our childhood dreams in his hands these days, JJ Abrams. Arguably his first 'solo' film, he wrote and directed Super8 and made no secret of it being a love letter to the movies of his childhood like E.T., The Goonies and Stand By Me.

Joining me is Cormac Moore from the Project 10 podcast and we skip down memory lane with Super8. With 80s media leading the streaming media and cinema charge at the moment with IT and Stranger Things, we compare the sentiment of Super8 against some more modern 80s throwback and show you why this is a must watch pre-kitsch 80s theme movie you should definitely watch!
