There's always a reason why we connect with the films that we enjoy. When we do, it's always fun to share those stories with those who haven't seen them. In 'Movies You Missed', two generations collide to offer movies that mattered to us. Matching over 40s 'against' under 25s, we hold up films of different genres from our youth, hold them up against one another and talk about why they're worth sharing (or why they're not anymore). In our third episode, we take a look at science fiction films and talk about imagining what the future holds and unplugging ourselves from the grid.This week: Independence Day (1996) v. Ready Player One (2018)
