This  is the pilot episode of "Movie Fixers." Our goal is to take a film that  is regarded as a disappointment, or failure to live up to expectations,  or simply put a bad film, and try to improve its flaws with a much  improved outline, hence the title of the podcast, "Movie Fixers."

We  are a very amateur podcast with little to no experience. It is evident  that this episode is or will be filled with flaws in terms of editing  and off the tangent topics. But that's who we are as hosts, we simply  talk about the movie and how it affects us. So please bear in mind of  our unprofessional medium. And if you don't like it, that's fine. We'd  love to hear some feedback on how to improve our podcast on the next  oncoming episodes.

On this episode, we will be talking about  INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE (2016), directed by Roland Emmerich and  starring Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, and Liam Hemsworth. The plot deals  with an alternate 2016 when mankind finally rebuilt themselves after  the alien invasion that almost wiped out civilization in 1996. Using  alien technology after their defeat, humanity reversed engineered it to  restore their world and maximize Earth's defenses just in the case of a  possible second invasion. But even with their alternate futuristic  weapons, they were still unprepared for the return of the alien  invaders, and only this time, their ships and firepower have doubled in  size. But mankind is not alone in this fight as another mysterious alien  spacecraft arrived at Earth to help humanity fight against the alien  aggressors.

Independence Day: Resurgence is regarded as one of the  most disappointing films of 2016; an absolutely unnecessary sequel; and  simply a cash grab. Twenty years after the box office smash hit of the  90s, the sequel tried to catch lightning in a bottle twice, but of  course they missed. Not even Will Smith, pre- or post-Oscar slap, could  have saved this movie. But at least it's got Jeff Goldblum, and that's  alright by us. For this episode, we try to fix the script and tell an  even better story than Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich.
