Summary

Who’s to blame for the alien invasion in Independence Day: The Movie?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back Alarmist regular Khal Davenport to discuss the epic 1996 summer blockbuster film, Independence Day. In an industry rife with alien invasion doomsday plotlines, why does this one still manage to capture our hearts and our anxieties? Could it be the aliens' uncompromising desire to mine our planet for resources? Or that the government knew about the aliens for years and kept it a secret? Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith join the conversation.
