Hey everyone!!This movie won a poll way back when, but after we watched it we realized it fit way better with the November movies than the October ones. (Especially after Red Dawn last week!) So sorry for the delay!We both really loved Matthew Broderick in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, so of course we loved him here too. A bit more serious of a story, but he totally pulls it off!

Just the other day, I watched a ridiculously in-depth presentation about NATO's approach to war gaming, but somehow I've still never watched this movie. Gotta fix that!

I mentioned this in the Red Dawn movie. Exercise Able Archer happened a few months after this movie. Admitted it was a Russian computer model that sounded the 'false' alarm but damn talk about life imitating art. Also, and some others here might be old enough to remember these times, yes pretty much all the hacking stuff they added in the movie was actually quite factual. War dailing, phreaking and hackers breaking into unsecured systems. If you want to know more about it you should look for a copy of Freedom Downtime, a documentary about the (in)famous hacker (later converted to a black hat) Kevin Mitnick (R.I.P). The documentary was in response to a fairly slanted hollywood movie about him called Takedown with Skeet Ulrich. I can't unsee how silly the actor choice was for Kevin's supposed arch enemy Tsutomu Shimomura ... I mean just look up a picture of him and then compare it with the actor who played him (Russell Wong). And then, since you asked, there is John Draper a.k.a. Captain Crunch. Although technically a phone phreak, the Captain is seen by many as the father of modern “hackery” and phreaking, as well as being somewhat of a legend. Born in 1944, his legend began when he was informed by a friend that a toy whistle given away in boxes of the Cap’n Crunch cereal would emit a 2600 hertz tone when the 3 rd hole was glued up. This tone was a frequency that was used in the making of phone calls at the time and would eventually lead to Draper creating “blue boxes”, devices capable of replicating other dialing tones, effectively making calls for free.

You guys should check out classic 80s Tom Hanks. The Burbs, Big, Money Pit etc...

Like others have said. This movie was for the most part legit in its portrayal of cyber security, the tech and hacking at the time. I especially love the social engineering of getting the password by being sent to the principal (on purpose?) The friends are my favorite part and yes the disks were that big. I was in elementary during the switch from those huge floppy disks to the iconic save icon hard disks. 4th grade is when I last used one I believe. Such a fun movie. Other 80s movies I recommend: Short Circuit, Batteries Not Included, Cacoon, any Tom Hanks as other said. Thanks!

Definitely all the classic Tom Hanks movies, including the ones into the 90s also or just all of them in general he is just an amazing actor and his movies are great. Also, some good 80s movies I love are Batteries Not Included, Short Circuit 1 and 2, Weird Science, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Teen Wolf 1 and 2, and The Great Outdoors are just a few that I will name this week but there are many others that I love from the 80s also that I will name next time maybe. I love your reaction also thank you for making such great videos.

I'd like to throw my vote out for the new show Pluribus that just had two episodes for opening release. It's from the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and stars Rhea Seehorn who plays Kim. It has nothing to do with that universe so no worries about that. The first two episodes just released are really, really good. I don't wanna spoil so I'll only mention that the creator started out writing for X-Files and it's got a little of that energy. It's not another anti-hero story. It's completely new. Also Rhea Seehorn is the best I just think she's amazing.

This is one of those movies I never get tired of watching especially rewatching it with other first timers. I feel like if this movie was made today there would have been a twist ending showing that the Russians really where launching against the U.S. and everything the people at NORAD were seeing on the screens really was happening but they thought it would be just simulations. The story itself is basically an updated 80's version of other movies about nuclear launch scenarios most notably the 1964 film "Fail Safe". If you guys liked this movie I recommend giving that movie a try in the future.

I love 70's and 80's tech too. I still have all of my hardware from those decades in storage. I have boxes of 3.5 inch disks, 5.25 inch floppy and even a couple of 8inch floppies (very old) with a wopping 80kb of storage on it! I even remember playing Zork on my TRS80 Model I (also known as a Trash-80) I bought from RadioShack. The game was loaded on to a cassette (like the ones used for music). Also those large machines ya'll saw that you thought were servers... those where data banks, equivalent to a modern Harddrive, all data was recorded on magnetic tape reels that would have to be changed out if you needed to load different information.
