Even if you could watch it from the comfort of your own Thunderroad, is Explorers worth your time today?
Francisco, and Paul had a dream that called us to explore the good and bad of this 80's kids movie. Listen to hear our thoughts of Joe Dante's Explorers.

Things that are Still Enjoyable
The three main leads we a treat to see, complimenting one another well. In particular the wide-eyed positivity of Ethan Hawke's character was winning. And though it wasn't Francisco's thing, Paul appreciated the alien characters.
What Doesn't Hold Up Anymore
As eluded to above, Francisco really didn't care for the aliens in Explorers, both the designs and their care-free demeanor. Also it was odd how the kids were so capable to make their pseudo space craft.
Final Rating
Explorers is a Draw for us, Paul thinking it holds up, Francisco thinking it does not.
