Today’s VHS pick is Lost in Space (1998)—one of those 90s Hollywood stabs at turning 60s TV shows into blockbuster spectacles.

The cast is stacked: Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham. For a movie this goofy, it’s still wild that they roped in so much star power.

Critics trashed it at release, but over time it’s carved out a cult following.

A person holds a VHS copy of Lost in Space (1998). The worn cover shows the film’s title with a metallic logo above a spaceship in a starry background. Below are portraits of the main cast—Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham, and others—wearing futuristic grey uniforms. A review quote at the bottom reads: “A thrill ride of a movie… exciting, adventurous, eye-popping fun!”

This is why I went back to the high seas. Too many subscriptions. I just watch out for good movies/series and sailing I go.

    Meh, too much hassle. And not sending the right message. If I'm not engaging the content for being easily available to the point I don't even know they exist, it's a far stronger message to the companies that their greed doesn't pay at all. Than them getting "we need to protect our IP from them damn pirates! Quick, lobby the politicians to pass sum lawls" out of it.
