0034: Stargate, Independence Day, 2012

Published: Nov. 27, 2017, 7 a.m.

We revisit Independence Day and provide a definitive ranking for (probably) the most divisive film on the list.  Why is it is so bad? The wafer thin plot? The hideous level of AMURICA? The grating attempts at a deeper meaning? And who writes these podcast notes anyway?

(We also watched two other films by Roland Emmerich that were also pretty terrible)
