UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep35 'Independence Day' (1996)

Originally available to Patreon patrons 6th July. We recorded an episode about the 1996's biggest movie, Independence Day. For election year, we're looking at movies 'about' the American presidency, and how better to do that than to embrace the cheesy American exceptionalist pornography of this alien-invasion effects-spectacular? It's a sprawling SF comedy about incalculable mass murder and the genocide of humanity. Bill Pullman looks decent, Will Smith quips, Jeff Goldblum recycles, Randy Quaid gets an anal probe, billions die, and a good time is had by all. Don't worry, the dog survives... For now. Spoiler alert: this is deeply stupid, but we both kinda like it anyway. Features UK election chat, and US SCOTUS / Presidential debate banter.
