Billy Zabka Saves The Universe is one of those quirky, no-budget gems that you stumble upon and can't help but appreciate. Directed by high school filmmaker Ethan Dunlap, the film does a wild job of blending comedy and science fiction, all while giving a nod to the 80s. The practical effects are, well, let's just say they have a certain charm that fits the DIY spirit. Bobby Whitehouse, who also stars, brings an infectious energy that lifts the material. It's loose and slapstick-y with a chase sequence that feels like it was made for fun more than anything else. The inclusion of an 80s pop soundtrack gives it a lovely nostalgic vibe, making it a peculiar watch that’s hard to forget.
