We’re back! Again! This time for good! We mark our return – which in turn marks our five year anniversary, if you can believe that – by covering two films that were added retroactively to Wikipedia’s Amblin filmography list (which, of course, is our gospel): the cursed 1983 production of TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE and the other ‘comet hurtling towards earth’ picture from 1998, DEEP IMPACT. It’s a lot to bite off in one episode, so we set ourselves a time limit for each discussion to make sure we don’t disappear too far down the rabbit holes. Strap in as we discuss whether any film can ever escape the tragedy of its making, the tenability of idealised movie presidents in today’s climate and Andy’s unbridled delight at this episode’s very silly title. Just don’t call it a comeback.
