The lads crack open Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day (1996), the blockbuster sci-fi adventure that brings an alien invasion to Earth. With enormous spacecraft, spectacular destruction and humanity fighting back, it’s a full-scale battle for the planet.

But beneath the explosions and patriotic spectacle, there’s plenty to unpack about American identity, familiar character stereotypes, and the way blockbuster films tell their stories. This Listener Choice movie was picked by long-time listener Joe Lamb... thanks, Joe!
