Ep. 13 - 'Armageddon' (1998)




Second Run: A Movie Lover's Podcast show

Summary: You won't want to close your eyes. You won't want to fall asleep. 'Cause we're talking about "Armageddon," and you won't want to miss a thing. This week, the CAN'T WAIT! crew (Tim Hayne, Rachel Horner, Phil Pirrello, and Tony Maccio) tackles the 1998 Michael Bay disasterpiece, drilling down to its core like its a Texas-sized asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Among the topics discussed: Bay's penchant for trailer-made movies, a Michael Bay shared cinematic universe, and the problems inherent to giving screen time to an ensemble cast of roughly 500 people. Also, Tony Gilroy and J.J. Abrams were involved in the making of this movie, which raises A LOT of questions. Tune in next week for Rachel's pick, "Two Weeks Notice," in which Hugh Grant is charmingly befuddled and Sandra Bullock has diarrhea.
