War of the Worlds with Colin from The Nostalgia Pit

In a conversation with Colin from the Nostalgia Pit, the discussion revolves around a recent movie titled "War of the Worlds," featuring Ice Cube and others, which is critiqued for its poor production quality and reliance on technology like Zoom and Teams for storytelling. The hosts joke about the film's absurdity, including its advertisement-heavy content and the portrayal of characters, particularly Ice Cube's role as a "master hacker." The movie's plot is convoluted, involving aliens that feed on data, and culminates in a ridiculous twist involving Amazon's delivery service saving the day.

Hey, everybody. Welcome. I'm having a conversation here with Colin from the Nostalgia Pit. You can see that right there. Link. E slash Nostalgia Pit. You can go see it and check it out. I sat with you and your co-host, which I've forgotten his name, even though you just said it like two moments ago for a show. And I got you. What do you want to say? I begged you not to do this. Well, you kind of challenged me not to do it because I think I mentioned it and then you took it as a challenge. I feel like this is like one of those episodes of a bad sitcom. You're like, well, I'll do it. I will do it. And I'm like, no, you don't have to do it. It's okay. You don't have to do it. I have a love for bad movies. Okay. They're not all bad movies are created equal. But when, when, when I hear something that like, Hey, this is potentially the worst movie that's ever come out before. Yeah. I'm like, you know,that tickles my intrigue. I guess it set you off good because you're like, I will, you took a challenge that was, I wasn't even throwing down the gauntlet at all. I'm just like, yeah, this movie sucks oh yeah no and then you you said i'll bet you five dollars that you won't sit through the whole thing. Did I say that you did it's on record on the podcast. I never remember exactly. So I owe you five dollars so we'll barely I'll get your Venmo or something at the end here. Set it up somehow. Or maybe I can just send you some swag. Whatever works. I'll take it. So the movie we were talking about is the latest incarnation of War of the Worlds. This one's starring Ice Cube. The kid from Diary of the Wimpy Kid who played the older brother, which I cannot remember his name.And one of the Desperate Housewives, as well as some other people. It's got a computer. And it's got every computer tech giant program that you want to advertise. Yeah, maybe. It seemed to be reliant a lot on Zoom and Teams. Well, Zoom and Microsoft Teams are very big. Yes, that is big. But also, I mean, he's on Google. He's on YouTube. Oh, yeah. Facebook, you know, watching stuff on CNN, Fox News. Like it's, you know. It's an advertisement. It's never. Yeah. Yeah. It's an advertisement. All right. Well, I wouldn't call it an advertise a good advertisement at this point. All those people probably distance themselves from this movie, in my opinion. But I don't know about that. I think that I think it's it's it's.working in the ways that it needs to work because it's generating clicks. Clicks are, it's like, it's one of those things where rage bait and like click bait are, are two real things in this, you know, commodification of, of information in this age. And so a lot of people will post things to make people angry and like trolling or whatever, you know, you see it in the food world. Or some of these recipes, they're presenting it like it's totally absurd. Or like it's totally real when it is totally absurd. And then it gets the people going in the comments. And then they share it. And then people start reacting to it. But all that stuff, it's the same as good clicks, bad clicks. Sometimes a click is a click. And so I feel like their numbers are pretty good because of how many podcasts and everything are talking.
