If you enjoyed this video please consider subscribing to the channel! Now that we're in space, there's no laws, so I have lots of fun stuff planned.
I don’t know how I found your channel but I am glad I did!!! Reviewing some of my favorite movies as a kid!!! Very nostalgic it’s awesome!!! Thank you!!!
@@ccole99 I really appreciate that, I'm super glad other folks out there dig these movies. Thanks a lot for stopping by. More videos to come :)
@@WhatWereYouWatching GREAT!!! I will be looking forward to watching you review them!!!
Great episode, as always. I used to watch this all the time on HBO. I suppose I was the perfect age.
Thanks very much. Hopefully the Space Camp remake will include a reincarnation of Jinx.
Sts-51-l columbia launch in January 28,1986 and the 7 astronauts were killed in the sts 51-l in the sky. That why the Space Camp movie 1986 for 7 astronauts.
I have not realized until now how intrinsically the robot was to my childhood. Lol
I went to Space Camp as a kid! It was awesome and so is the movie!
One of my favorite movies
I have not seen or heard about this movie for 35 years.
For some reason I kept remembering a couple of scenes from this movie, but I didn't really think about this movie apart from them since I saw it in theatres. Seeing this video after some 35 years is really surreal. I also remember the Challenger and it came on really early in the morning, just before school, live on almost all the channels (we were at home when it launched, being Pacific time and there were only about 11 channels anyway) and our teachers had to talk about it, because that is all the students talked about. We were really obsessed, especially since it was promoted a lot leading up to the launch and one of the astronauts was originally a teacher. There was a lot of stuff about her training, and it was clear she was chosen because she had that kind, charming, charisma that some teachers have. Also, her being a civilian originally made it seem that space could be in reach of anybody... so the movie just added to that feeling.
The scene I really remember is when the kid is doing the spacewalk and sees the infinity of space. I don't know why, but it was so frightening to me, and really scared me in the theatres (weird what affects you as a kid). To this day,, the thought of a spacewalk is really scary to me, and floating into that black nothingness is horrifying The space scenes do seem fake now, but in the theatre, at that time, they didn't Theatres have a way to immerse you, that maybe a television screen doesn't. The other scene I remember is when Lea Thompson's character is trying to pilot that spinning gyro thing. It was weird, because I always wanted to "pilot" one, but never could find one that you pilot, just one you hang onto.
It seems goofy to me now, but as a kid, at that time period, the possibilities seemed.... bigger somehow. It is hard to explain, and of course the F/X are shoddy compared to what so many other movies can do and since, but movies and tv were more like Kabuki theatre at the time... you ignored the sets and cheap F/X and let your mind get absorbed into the story. Or like a puppet show... there is a point where you just stop thinking about the hand moving the puppet.
I'm just happy you got to relive some of your memories from 35 years ago! I hope it was an enjoyable experience. I liked the movie quite a bit for all its goofiness. Space Camp always seemed like the coolest thing when I was a kid, I probably would have really liked this movie if I saw it back in the 80s.
@@WhatWereYouWatching Yeah, a lot of movies were great as kids, and somehow immersive, despite the shoddy F/X. Nice to see you review it, and the jokes are funny. Keep it up.
The Challenger disaster was really a tragedy. But I do remember that not just before, but after they kept talking about all the hope it would bring in our knowledge. I feel that wonder is sometimes lost. Even the Soviet Union was into the whole space as peace and scientific world of togetherness kind of thing. Especially since the MIR space station was built by them (MIR meaning peace in Russian). Kind of tragic that Russia has become worse than the Soviet Union was at the time (even in the 80s, after Gorbachev the Soviet Union's building bridges seemed to offer a path forward). Although people remember the Cold War, the 80s seemed to offer hope in ending it, and, in hindsight, they were right when the Soviet Union finally collapsed in the early 90s. It was a weirdly optimistic time then. The fall of the Berlin Wall was amazing thing to live through at that time and Russia letting all the independent states go was amazing. Even the US human rights record (which wasn't good) was constantly being exposed, which ironically made it seem that things would change for the better.
Sorry for going on, but it is hard to convey how this movie, and movies like this, made us feel.
Always entertaining. Never seen Space Camp but now I get the title. Space Camp, because it’s set in space and it’s campy movie.
Thanks very much for watching. They're a buncha geniuses if they are purposely going for that pun. Fun movie either way.
I remember watching this specifically in the 4th grade. It was interesting. Your introduction was magnificent! 😂
Thanks very much :) It's not too late for people for like us to be astronauts. We just gotta sign up and do some pushups for NASA I think.
@@WhatWereYouWatching Sounds like an easy mission. 🚀
Hahaha! I just love your dry humor so much, I couldn't stop laughing when you saluted your misses before you went off into space.
This review looks like it had better production than the film, which have never seen.
Thanks my dude as always.
We needed this video right now!!!! Good work Larry!
I remember when space camp was one of the prizes of every nickelodeon show from "what would you do" to "nick arcade"
I hope when I die I am reincarnated as a Double Dare contestant.
Great video for a rediculess fun movie . Thanks for the fun content !
Helllll yeah. Thanks a ton for watching :)
welcome back! this channel deserves way more subscribers.
as an amateur apartment-spaceship-converter, i need to ask - will this forfeit my security deposit?
Thanks a lot :) Feels nice to upload again. And I'm not sure on the security deposit. Doesn't matter, no laws in space, the coppers can't even get me.
Im so humbled and grateful that i actually got to tell Lea Thompson I LOVE SPACE CAMP to her face. And she was a bit surprised cuz she said "you look too young to even know that movie". Lol sad disney really botched this after the challenger disaster.
I love this movie.
Amazing!
Also I'd bail on doing dishes too.
I loved this movie as a kid, and I went to the NASA space center/space camp that it was filmed at back then too; it was pretty awesome, but not like the movie;) I also remember (and this is dating myself) sitting in the classroom watching the challenger launch when it exploded wondering what the hell just happened... crazy times, and now I feel old!! Awesome video my friend, and judging by the size of your ship (no innuendo intended) you must have the biggest damn apartment in NYC, lol!! What's that thing cost? Like 10 million a month!!
You went to THE space camp? That's awesome. And don't get me started on NYC apartment prices. It's a big reason why I decided to move into space. Not as much crime, and now I can buy dogecoin.
@@WhatWereYouWatching Yes, I went to "the" space camp, though it wasnt as exciting as this movie, lol!! And there may be less traditional crime in space, but man, you gotta watch out for those space pirates, space truckers, and ice pirates... I hear that Dogecoin is taking off!!
That's why these videos take so long. You were building a spaceship! Some days I wish I had that launch button too.
Now that the ship is built let's see if I can upload more than once every several months. Thanks for watching :)
I need one of those nifty launch buttons.
Had no idea this movie existed but I'm glad I do now. Excellent work, man! Loved the intro.
Hell yeah man, thank you :) Definitely worth a watch.
About time you got your own spaceship! Also...how did you build that without anyone noticing?
Thanks! I just put a tarp over it. Nobody even noticed it.
Good to know
The cell phone footage had me dyinngggg haha. I grew up obsessed with space, so this hit me on a molecular level. This was an awesome video. Keep it up, man.
Thanks a ton, Todd. That means a lot from you.
Another outstanding video from an absolute great channel. All your reviews are high quality and entertaining. Keep at it! Your efforts are appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words! i'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Next one is in the works :)
Sts 51 January 28,1986 before the 7 astronauts were killed after launch. Space Camp movie in June 6, 1986.
Launch pad is not in Huntsville Alabama. I wish they filmed in Florida.
I am very very very ahppy I subscribed to this. WOW what a fucking masterpiece
Space Camp actually saw unprecedented demand after this movie was released (i.e., the kids are going to be okay).
Jinx could have easily turned this into a horror movie.
LOL seriously. Maybe the reboot will more of an Ex Machina feel to it.
Just rewatched most of your videos with the wife and you got a new fan . Watching your wargames episode got me wondering what you think of The Manhattan Project ?
Well that's super nice to hear. I haven't seen Manhattan Project. I love movies about nyooklear bombs, so let me watch it this week and get back to you.
1:08- 2:18 the greatest moment in human history.
HAHAH. Thanks byos maybe I'll go into space again one day. 🫡
the reason this movie flopped it was released 6 months after the challanger disaster but in my eyes it was awesome i loved it
George Herbert Walker Bush being VP, the countless children (including myself) watching the Challenger disaster unfold in real time, the mandatory counseling and evaluations afterword, was no accident.
Finding out decades later that they weren’t even astronauts and it was all a psyop… well it makes sense now.
The CIA and NASA traumatized a generation of kids so they could study the effects of trauma based programming. There were teams of psychologists and counselors arrived at schools no more than 2 hours after the disaster, we had to have an initial interview with psychologists before our parents could pick us up.
Most kids didn’t even understand the concept of death, and here these people were reinforcing the notion that those astronauts were heroes because they died, and that dying for your country is one of the best things we could aspire to. It was death programming, among other things…
"F... you!"
"I love you too."

Nerduo likeo
Thanks a ton for watching the vid :)
All that money & effort to make them appear weightless & they decided that the girls should have long hairstyles... #FAIL
The robot annoyed me. Why not have the shuttle launched by some disgruntled employee who wanted to derail the shuttle program? Or maybe a Russian or Chinese agent.
Lol that would have been so much better. At the least, just make it a cooler robot. Not a robot with the worst voice possible.
@@WhatWereYouWatching Exactly. Why shoehorn a stupid R2 wannabe into the script? They should have gone for Maximilian from The Black Hole. Now THAT would have been freaking awesome!
A psychotic, silent robot yeeting a bunch of kids into orbit? I'd buy that for a dollar!
i hope its ok to get a compliment from a gay british guy but your are so frigging cute i could die xxx
Lol thanks very much. And thanks for watching! I appreciate it a lot.
@@WhatWereYouWatching ihope that didnt upset you..
I want to watch this terrible movie now
Definitely worth a watch.
