In the wake of GREMLINS being a smash hit, Joe Dante opted to follow-it up with the gentle, coming-of-age sci-fi tale EXPLORERS. Starring a young Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix, with a great score by Dante regular Jerry Goldsmith, the film was fraught with post-production issues and tight deadlines. The finished product, which tanked due to opening both on the weekend after BACK TO THE FUTURE and the same weekend as the iconic Live Aid concert, is one Dante has distanced himself from in the years since. Yet, it holds up as an underrated gem, and one of several classic family films that came out in that era. Check it out on the week's episode of The Best Movie You Never Saw!
