Tonight was 80's movie night featuring Explorers. While there were no talking monkeys like the famous Nukie movie what it lacked in talking monkeys it made up for with huge assed aliens. My youth in the 80's was spent as a sponge to mass media so I'm surprised I never saw this movie before. The Josephs moved up from Florida just to see this movie that the Kelleys found and proposed for viewing. Both also enjoyed the huge assed aliens (as we all do, deep down). The lessons I took away from this movie is Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix are not at all recognizable when playing nerds as 15 year olds. I also learned that television is bad since it warps large-assed aliens knowledge about our culture, and that if you do something your parents don't know about, you get yelled at whether you're River Phoenix or a large assed alien kid. I hope that's enough of a taste to make you run out and rent it.
