Today we are talking about the 1985 film starring Val Kilmer, Gabriel Jarret, Michelle Meyrink and William Atherton. It is a film about Mitch Taylor who rooms with Chris Knight, school prodigy, and they work on a high powered laser. Only to discover that their professor is going to use it for evil instead of for good.
"Professor Hathaway: I want to see more of you around the lab.
Chris Knight: Fine. I'll gain weight.” (Technically now a dad joke)
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Mike’s connection to the story
- Chris Knight’s cool T-shirts
- Silly board room scenes
- 80’s music for context
Next week’s film is Admission starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd on Apple TV for $3.99

Admission into our Film University
Today we are talking about Admission, a film starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd about a Princeton admissions officer who takes a risk on a college-bound student who she believes might be her son. In the process she discovers a lot about herself. This romantic comedy came out in 2013 and is available right now on Apple TV. It doesn’t have high marks but we would definitely give it a solid B+
Jeremiah: "I read everything. I read biographies, mainly because I didn't know how other people live their lives. I think my variations reading came from a deep longing for something that was missing. I was searching for someone, for my story. To not feel so alone."
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Beautiful golden hour shots on university campus’
- The mother/daughter relationship between Tina and Lily
- “Stop it with the dog stuff”
- The Bonzai tree bit
