Show Notes
Twenty years ago, we were graced with two movies, released just months apart, about celestial objects threatening to end life as we know it on Earth. The first, Deep Impact, explores how the U.S. President, a group of astronauts, a news reporter, and a horny teenager respond to the crisis.
In our chat about the movie, we discuss rampant MSNBC product placement, terrible parenting decisions, and a total disregard for saving women and children first. We also ponder what would happen if a comet was coming our way while Trump was President (yup, we'd all be screwed) and we discuss our feelings about Solo: A Star Wars Story (yup, we geek out about parsecs). In the end, we find out if Deep Impact stands the Test of Time.
