It's the end of the world and we're going to have lots of meetings about it. But also: terrorism. There is IR in this novel! A lot of it! And an incredibly heavy-handed critique of capitalism! We still hated it!

Ana and Dan are determined to keep broadcasting Space the Nation right up until the supervolcano blows, of course we are. We conclude Emmerichary on a minor key: This is the Emmerich movie with the most IR and this is the movie with the worst IR. Should the president refuse the chance to survive the apocalypse? Why would China agree to help out the rest of the world? Who is Jackson Curtis' editor and can we get his number? There is a critique of capitalism in this movie.

Ana and Dan laugh and laugh and laugh. The penultimate episode of Emmerichary, the reason Emmerichary exists: We talk about Moonfall, the greatest movie of 2022 so far. How do you fly a space shuttle "without electricity"? Would a Lexus really be the best vehicle to be driving during the apocalypse? Nuking the moon! What could go wrong? There is IR in this movie.

Ana and Dan break some cane-backed chairs to use as snowshoes and try to avoid Chekov's wolves as they ponder the appeal of this preposterous movie. Can anti-climate-change skepticism propaganda be helpful if it engages in the exact kind of ludicrousness that skeptics accuse scientists of? Did Frank have to die? Did he have to die shouting, "Jack!"? And how old was Jake Gyllenhaal? There is IR in this movie.

Ana and Dan traipse through a mysterious alien artifact with the capacity to revolutionize space travel with a brilliant plan: blow it up. This is a very silly movie and generated very silly arguments, including, "Is the stargate made of vibranium or unobtanium?" There is IR in this movie.

Ana and Dan break open the cigars to celebrate having finished watching Roland Emmerich's Independence Day: The biggest and dumbest movie of a decade that brought us some really big and dumb movies. It holds up, to the degree you can keep your standards within the margins of big and dumb. What's the real reason NASA won't make Will Smith an astronaut? Why do the aliens need to use our satellites again? What exactly constitutes a "Mexican writing binge"? There is IR in this movie.
