Independence Day

This week on 3Amoviegos Ian, Martyn & Joe hop the border to obverse patriotism in a very sporadic conversation inspired by the 1996 Roland Emmerich disaster film, Independence Day. In the first of many Dystopian and Alien appearances over a career of films, Will Smith stars as Captain Hiller, an air force pilot who finds himself thrust into an alien invasion scenario and must team with Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman and Harry “The Goose" Connick Jr. to save the United States…and the world. Independence Day is an ultimate encounter of the third kind when a mysterious and hostile squadron of aliens mount an all out invasion against the human race. When 15 mile wide ships appear and begin exterminating every major city all over the world, the human race must band together and try everything they can to survive and defeat the invading extra-terrestrials…(cue “USA” chant). Light up a few fireworks and maybe a good weenie, take a step back in time with us and hear your heroes bounce from topic to topic all inspired by the plot of the film, and end with a barbecued version of Highlepenos, on this week’s Star-Spangled episode of 3Amoviegos.
