The movie
Show notes
Adam and Josh celebrate the holiday weekend with a "Blind Cow" review of Independence Day , the #1 movie at the box office back in '96. Thirty summers after its release, Adam catches up with Roland Emmerich's alien-invasion spectacle, and Josh (originally a fan) sees if it holds up. Plus, a summer-themed edition of Massacre Theatre and a recap of last weekend's 2nd annual Filmspotting Fest, which featured appearances from Trey Edward Schultz ( Krisha ), Marguerite Moreau ( Wet Hot American Summer ), Agnés Varda biographer Carrie Rickey, and Michael Phillips.
