Mint Mobile dropped a new spot today to announce its new unlimited talk, text and data plan, and it brought back one of the most dearly missed actors of the ’80s: Rick Moranis.

The first ad in a campaign to promote the offering features Mint Mobile owner, Deadpool actor and master marketer Ryan Reynolds standing in a field of mint (the plant). Reynolds explains that because the budget cell carrier has gone so long without offering an unlimited everything option, he brought back an actor we’ve all gone too long without: Moranis, star of classics like Little Shop of Horrors, Spaceballs, Ghostbusters and, of course, the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise.
