The 602 Club: A Geekery Speakeasy


Jun 25, 2016

Independence Day.

Every so often a movie comes out that takes the world by surprise at just how big it becomes. Star Wars did this in 1977 and recently and recently it happened with Jurassic World, but in the summer of 1996 it happened again with a movie no one could have predicted.

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Michael Schindler and Richard Marquez to talk about Independence Day (ID4). We discuss our recollection of 1996, bringing back the disaster film, the cast, impressive effects, if it holds up and our ratings.
