Independence Day (1996)

from Cinephile Hissy Fit · host Don & Will

For their 237th episode, two alien-punching film critics, two cropdusting dads, and two speechifying school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, saw it fit to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday with the 30th anniversary of Roland Emmerich's "Independence Day." Both hosts consider it one of the best pure summer blockbusters ever made and something that should be as annual a staple for the titular holiday as BBQs and fireworks. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
