A comet is coming, the clock is brutal, and somehow Deep Impact still finds a way to be tender. We dig into why this ’98 disaster film sticks: not the most explosions per minute, but the most honesty per moment. From Morgan Freeman’s calm President Beck to Mimi Leder’s unflashy, human-first direction, we trace how the movie earns its tears—through choices, not cues. The Messiah mission gets there fast and feels real: harpoons, glare, and the kind of leadership that sounds like reassurance, not hype. When the nukes split the comet and the plan shifts from triumph to triage, the film’s heart shows up in the hard parts: a national lottery, family drama, and what a single seat on a helicopter is worth.

Give us a listen!
