Are you ready to hack into the system, change your grades, and potentially start a global thermonuclear war? That's right ware revisiting the movie WarGames on it's 40th anniversary. Come along and join us as we try to stop a nuclear war.
Living In The Past is a show about revisiting pop culture from the past. Hosted by Jeremy Scott and Devin Kleffer (along with Carl the Intern), these two (three) friends can’t help but revisit the movies and TV shows that they loved from their younger years. Come along and get a little nostalgic with us as we look back, enjoy, and ask the important question: is it still OK to like this stuff?

Wargames is an 80's classic to be sure. There are many different types of montages and one of my favourite kinds is in this movie. It's the research montage in the middle of the film funnily enough. The sequence where David is researching Falken and his game, and the electronic score is playing behind it and you hear that electronic buzz every time he hits a dead end. It's great. I watched it recently and I was marvelling at all the analogue resources in the libraries he is visiting. The eighties Cold War observations are on point, even from the point of view of a Canuck living north of the 49th parallel. My kid found the movie to be incredibly intense, especially the last act, and I said about the fears and apprehensions that everybody was feeling from adults to children during that time were real and that last act dramatises it perfectly, especially the relief that everybody felt in the movie at the end. We all want to feel that relief and forget that ever happened, but we will have this movie to entertain and enlighten us.
Thanks so much for commenting/sharing. Love your observations about the research montage. There is some high quality filmmaking in WarGames that I think is often overlooked. So glad you pointed it out.
I'll never forget being a kid living in the 80's... it was amazing 😊
It was a pretty sweet time!
@@livingthepast Indeed!
My original Galaga arcade game has a Bally Family Entertainment Center Wargames Sweepstakes topper on it.
Wargames was the first time Galaga was featured anywhere - great flick.
Love it!!!!
Love your channel, it‘s like a revival of my childhood and teen years! Thank you from Germany

Still a great movie and relevant.
Yeah, I was surprised when I did the rewatch how in the present it felt.
@@livingthepast I rewatched within the past six months and l am always pleased by the entertainment value, the smart script, the execution and the message. Also I
was a huge Dabney Coleman fan.
