Independence Day & Resurgence
from The School of Movies Archive · host Alex Shaw
[School of Movies 2016] In this episode we talk about the first film from 1996, the sequel from 2016 and the state of Britain post-Brexit. It's thematically resonant with current events since the angle of the first movie is "We can succeed together" and the angle of the second seems to be "Look at these pretty, young people as they save the day for America." Be sure to check out Bob Chipman's YouTube episode of Really That Good on the first Independence Day, it is superb.
