579: Bad Dad, Crane Dad
Hop on your tripod killing machine and watch out for common cold viruses — if it’s New Jersey, it must be an alien invasion! We cover 2005’s “War of the Worlds,” starring Tom Cruise as a dad who just wants to protect his kids from the end of the world. Well, maybe one of his kids. Screaming! Explosions! Implausible plot points! Not enough Miranda Otto! Maybe too much Tim Robbins! The 9/11 influence is strong in this one.
"War of the Worlds" (2005)
Jason Snell with Shelly Brisbin, Monty Ashley and Jean MacDonald
Referenced Works
War of the Worlds (2005)
Steven Spielberg
