Junior year of college, there were a few months where the only tapes in our house were Yellow Submarine, Slackers, and something I can't remember

Beyond The Mind's Eye was my jam.

The Tenth Kingdom cult reporting in

For us, it was Condor Man

I think it can still happen, we had movies saved on my little brother's computer and he was quoting the political scenes of the Star wars prequels.

The Miracle on Morgan's Creek. I never liked it much, but my family did. Also The Princess Bride, but that's not obscure so it can't count here.

Thx to my mom we had Star Wars. I'm persuaded this set the course of my life in some ways. Thx mom!

Having a random movie come up on YTV or Teletoon or some other channel only to never be seen again was a painfully common occurrence as a kid.

We got cable when I was about 10. In my country even on cable we had very few channels. Game changer! Those Saturday morning cartoons!

There's a certain irony in me working in robotics, yet my favourite movie is The Missing Postman.

Growing up the only Star Wars movie we had was part 2, so I watched that over and over. Dunno why I didn't want to watch part 1, 3, and the rest.

Also, we all watched the exact same shows at the same times, because that was what was on the 2 or 3 channels at the time.

Meanwhile, the next generation who knows what show from what time the other kids stream from who knows what service.

Honestly somewhat surprised parents don't automatically take the route of getting their kids thrown into their own niche world of focus beyond "here, phone.. phone good.. good luck"
