What's a movie that feels out of its era? Either ahead or behind of its time. Or movies that don't seem like they would've been made then (self.asklemmy)

Turbo kid

A Mad Max-inspired romp through 80s genre film, where souped up cars have been replaced by BMX bikes and our hero fights baddies with the help of a Mega Man-esque arm cannon. A bizarre and hilarious little film that you should definitely see with an audience.

Came out on Netflix in 2016

Ohhh, this movie is magical. I love it so much!

I listened to the soundtrack for about 4 years before getting around to watching the movie. Very fun. For how slow the build-up is, Playtime is Over is one of my favorite workout songs, always gets the endorphins running.

This movie is exactly of its era. Blasting 80s nostalgia that's been filtered through a neon color grade with a snappy pace is exactly something that would come out in 2016.
