"We came in peace for all mankind..."
Happy Independence Day, listeners! Here's a special episode just for the occasion, back before the 4th of July became a day where the world cried out WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT! You know the rest.
Matt and Frank sit down with Michael Ludwig, recently returned from the UK to talk about the all-American classic, ID4 (yes, we even debate when "ID4" became a thing). It's the alien invasion movie that changed Hollywood forever, and became one of the biggest event films of all time. But other than one - dare I say, borderline made-for-TV - sequel back in 2016, there really aren't many other echoes of this film on pop culture. Despite crushing dozens of box office records, Independence Day was, basically a one-hit-wonder.
But we get into all that and more. So pop open a beer, flip those burgers, and get to listening before the fireworks start!
