It’s Independence Day: Resurgence, the long-awaited sequel that answers the question: “What if we did the same movie again, but louder and with fewer speeches people remember?” Join us as we revisit Earth, now armed with alien tech, global cooperation, and absolutely no plan when the aliens come back bigger, angrier, and apparently very into drilling. We ask the hard questions: Can David Levinson save the world again using vibes, intuition, and a laptop from 1996? Is President Whitmore still giving speeches, or just spiritually hovering over this movie wishing he were? And at what point does a spaceship become so large that it’s less of a threat and more of a weather pattern? We break down Roland Emmerich’s return to large-scale destruction, the film’s attempt at passing the torch to a new generation, and why sometimes “more” doesn’t actually mean “better.” Also: we try to track the plot, which mostly involves characters running toward explosions while explaining things that don’t make the explosions make any more sense. Want to pick a movie we do an episode on and record a special commentary just for you? Purchase something from our wish list! We are riffers on Cineprov! Check us out!! How will Independence Day: Resurgence hold up? End Credits Directed by: Roland Emmerich Starring: Liam Hemsworth as Jake Morrison Jeff Goldblum as David Levinson Bill Pullman as President Thomas J.
