===Summary===

In a distant universe, young Jimmy Starbait and two robots try to stop an evil empire from constructing a chain of over-priced coffee houses across the galaxy. Delightful homage to arrested development which appealed to nerds, geeks and losers alike. Followed by [[More Adolescent Self-Worship in Space (1980)]].

===Director===

[[Dwight Keating]]

===Cast=== 

* [[John Barnes]] (Jimmy Starbait)

* [[Robinson Cross]] (Brace Lonewolf)

* [[Valerie Hervie]]

* [[Ronald Aldersmith]] (Mooby-Ji Babooey)

* [[Gilbert Edmund]]

* [[Bernard Dean Blaines]] (voice of Arch Fetid)

===Didja Know?=== 

* Director/writer [[Dwight Keating]] and his special effects team had to invent an entire new visual language to bring reality to the film's elaborate space battles and used computer-controlled camera which were maneuvered around models to record each shot. Those of you touching yourselves as you read this are precisely the audience for which these effects were created.

* The last shot of the film of Jimmy Starbait receiving an honorary wheel of Emmentale is an homage to the famous Swiss documentary [[Our Cheese Is Tastier Than Yours (1934)]].

* This was re-released in 1997 with enhanced footage of director Keating building a vault big enough to hold all of his profits.

* This was referenced in [[Please Rewind, Then Die (1998)]].

===Famous Quotes===

Mooby-Ji Babooey: The galactic sphere is a powerful mass of energy created by nerds everywhere. It hangs over all of us like a dark cloud, making sure we will live in our parents' basements forever.
