This week on Myopia Movies, we return to a world that once united humanity… and immediately wonder if we should have just let the aliens win the first time. It’s Independence Day: Resurgence, the long-awaited sequel that answers the question: “What if we did the same movie again, but louder and with fewer speeches people remember?”

Join us as we revisit Earth, now armed with alien tech, global cooperation, and absolutely no plan when the aliens come back bigger, angrier, and apparently very into drilling.

We ask the hard questions:

We break down Roland Emmerich’s return to large-scale destruction, the film’s attempt at passing the torch to a new generation, and why sometimes “more” doesn’t actually mean “better.”

Also: we try to track the plot, which mostly involves characters running toward explosions while explaining things that don’t make the explosions make any more sense.

Want to pick a movie we do an episode on and record a special commentary just for you? Purchase something from our wish list! 

We are riffers on Cineprov! Check us out!!
