Aliens, Nukes, and No Due Process: Let’s Ruin Independence Day

Happy 4th of July! 🎆 On this episode of Let’s Ruin It, Diana, Liz, and Jenny take on the ultimate Independence Day movie — Independence Day — and legally ruin it from every angle. Forget patriotism and heroism... let’s talk alien detainment, stolen fighter jets, nuclear protocol, and whether the Geneva Conventions apply to ETs. This episode dives into: Can the President personally pilot a fighter jet? Is Area 51 even constitutional? Should aliens be read their rights? What’s the legality of hacking an intergalactic mothership? Could Will Smith be court-martialed? Is the White House grossly under-secured? From government secrets to planetary destruction and a total lack of due process, we tear apart this 90s classic with humor, sharp legal insight, and a healthy dose of eye-rolling. 🛸 Let’s Ruin It — where your favorite movies go to get cross-examined.
