Why is This a Thing? episodes:

September 01, 2025 War of the Worlds (2025)

IT’S YOU! IT’S YOU! Yes, indeed. With the release of a new contender for Worst Movie of All Time, Nick, Nico and Adam were forced to declare DEFCON1 and reconvene Why is This a Thing. Ice Cube stars in a screenlife adaptation of H.G. Wells’s War of the Worlds, a film that is so poorly written acted you almost (ALMOST) don’t notice the excessive amount of product placement for Amazon’s drone delivery service. Fear not, we watched and recapped this monstrosity so you don’t have to. Consider this a Podcast of the Worlds to save humanity.
