Awesome matte paintings -check; Sweet 80s clothing -check; Pompous Vangelis synth score -check. I happened across Carl Sagan's Cosmos a few days ago and have been enjoying it thoroughly. Sagan adeptly draws upon a variety of diverse historical, scientific and philosophical sources and weaves them together into an easily digestible whole, exploring the cosmos and our place within it. Mildly tacky, deeply inspiring.
