Episode 22: Flight of the Navigator... And Sugar Daddies

This week, we revisit the live-action Disney film, Flight of the Navigator!

This 1986 movie is available on Disney+ HERE. It starred Joey Cramer as David, a 12-year-old kidnapped by a spaceship he calls Max. The voice of Max was provided by Paul Reubens, best known for his Pee-Wee Herman character. Sarah Jessica Parker also appears in one of her first film roles.

The director also worked on the Disney Star Tours ride, which you can relive below!

Joey Cramer went through a lot of difficulties as a result of his rise to fame as a child star. The documentary "After Navigator" details his process of recovery. You can see the trailer below, or rent it HERE on Amazon Prime. 

Before our review, we try the retro childhood treat, the Sugar Daddy! The sticky, caramel pop was invented in 1925, but surged in popularity in 1973 during the "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match. You can buy them HERE.  

And... then we talk about Light Speed Theory, and if you're interested, you can read more about it HERE
