Episode Details

The question of whether or not we are alone in the universe has been answered.

A new month! A new theme!

Awesome August! Huge '90s sci-fi blockbusters. The flavor of blockbuster nonsense you just don't get anymore. Each week we will answer the question: AWESOME or AWFUL?

First up:INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996).

When mysterious extraterrestrial visitors arrive and take up positions across the globe, humanity's sense of security is shattered. People from very different backgrounds find their lives intertwined as they search for a way to confront the crisis. And that's not all! This week we are joined by filmmaker and VFX artist Jamie Chalmers! Also this week: Lance goes to court, missing miniatures in movies, and remembering Fruitopia.

All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!!

"Welcome to Earth!"
