In this seemingly irrelevant album lies all the philosophy of the Stones, ten tracks literally "sucked" from the seventies and poured onto a record without any apparent logic. Nostalgia gives value to everything even to boring days even to a record bought at the bus stop.

Jonathan R. Betuel's 1985 film 'My Science Project' is a simplistic sci-fi comedy that struggles to reach the charm of its contemporaries like 'Back to the Future.'

While it taps into 80s sci-fi tropes, it falls short in execution and impact, making it more of a nostalgia-driven cult curiosity than a quality movie.
