Media Made is going back to 90s, and we're bringing some friends along! Welcome to Earth, 1996. It was a big year in pop culture. Blockbuster movies were everywhere, classic cartoon characters were entering their renaissance, and a little game console called the Nintendo 64 was hitting store shelves. Rod & Jess are joined this month by Gooey and McKenna, hosts of the Flashback 64 podcast, to look back at the two 1996 movies that most invaded THEIR lives. We kick off the festivities with conversation about Roland Emmerich's disaster movie classic, Independence Day. Then, we slam and jam with the 90s' craziest crossover film, Space Jam.

Episode 124  Like many visual effects artists of a certain vintage, Jeff Okun didn't plan on a career in VFX. In fact, by his own account, he didn't even plan to work in film at all. "I'm a completely accidental human being," he told me with a chuckle. His ambitions began on a very different stage — as a stand-up comic — until a sharply atheistic routine delivered at home earned him a lifetime ban from performing in front of his parents. Instead, Okun's creative outlet took the form of magic tricks, homemade stunts, and Super 8 visual gags. “I would blow up model ships and fake fights in rush hour traffic,” he said, “and I'd be in the bushes filming with ketchup for blood.” All of this childhood chicanery ultimately gave way to a fascination with the trickery of movies — the kind of illusions you could only pull off with careful camera work, sleight-of-hand editing, and an appetite for mischief. Learning the Craft the Hard Way Okun's first job in film was with the legendary graphic designer and filmmaker Saul Bass. The experience was, in Okun's words, “awful,” but also profoundly formative. As Bass's gopher-turned-editor, Okun was thrown into the deep end. “I hated him,” he laughed. “But he taught me everything: editing, sound, post-production supervision, how to shoot, how to frame. It was a masterclass.” Working for Bass meant operating in a visually precise, effects-heavy style — layering camera moves, creating in-camera effects, and often relying on labor-intensive optical printing processes. When optical houses turned down Bass's business — too exacting, too expensive — Okun stepped in with cost-saving workarounds and pricing schemes that actually worked. “We doubled the budget, added a contingency, and somehow still landed exactly on target.”“By the end of it, I ended up loving the man,” Okun said. “Not because he gave me a break, but because he was so specific and difficult to please that when you did please him, it meant something. He learned how to prep lineup sheets, how to composite with interpositives, and how to break down 140-layer optical shots into manageable components. “I was just the fix-it guy. I didn't know what I was doing half the time. I still don't.” VFX by Way of Accident It wasn't long before optical houses and producers began calling on Okun when their films were in trouble. One fix led to another. His reputation grew as someone who could step into a crisis and calmly solve it — usually with a combination of ingenuity, humour, and brute-force trial and error. “I think Saul trained me to see puzzles. That's what it comes down to — seeing what's broken and putting it together in a way that works. Most of the time, it wasn't about having the right answer. It was about trying 50 wrong ones.” This kind of lateral thinking came into its own on films like Stargate (1994), where Okun — working with Jeff Kleiser and Diana Walczak's fledgling CG company — had to convince director Roland Emmerich that computer graphics were even worth attempting. “Roland didn't believe in CG. So we built the shot, made the CG glider deliberately less detailed to match the miniature footage. Showed it to him. He said, ‘Exactly — that's what I'm talking about. Miniatures are the way to go.' And we said, ‘Nope. All CG.' That's when he finally came around.” (Fun fact, VFX supervisor Jeff Okun was paid homage by Brent Spiner in Independence Day in the role of Dr. Brackish Okun. There's uh, a slight resemblance.) - Credit to Nofilmschool.comPenguins, Moose, and the Invisible Effect Okun is quick to point out he wasn't a Star Wars kid. In fact, he avoided the original film for weeks on principle — he doesn't do queues. But he did get a behind-the-scenes tour of ILM's original Van Nuys facility courtesy of Bass and George Lucas. There, he saw motion control rigs, Richard Edlund on his knees filming the crawl, Phil Tippett animating the chess game, and pyro tests in the parking lot. It was, he admits, a little magical — though it didn't change the fact that his creative allegiance remained with illusion, not spectacle. “My favourite effects are the invisible ones. I started out as a magician. The goal is to make people believe there's no trick. That's where the real artistry is.” Still, that didn't stop him from sneaking penguins and moose into the background of multiple films. He once gave a horse antlers in a Cameron Crowe movie. In Blood Diamond, he added a huge penguin family to a wide evacuation shot — no one noticed. “It's like the gorilla basketball video. You just don't see what you're not looking for.” The Shark That Ate Sam Perhaps his most famous — or infamous — contribution to pop culture came on Deep Blue Sea. Samuel L. Jackson had just delivered a particularly rough eight-page monologue, and Okun, unimpressed with the script, asked Jackson what he wanted to do. “He just said, ‘Kill me.' So I said, ‘If you make it to the front of the moon pool, I'll kill you.'” The surprise shark attack that interrupts Jackson mid-speech is now legendary. It wasn't in the script. “Renny Harlin didn't know until the day,” Okun said. “Sam did take after take but always got to the kill spot early. We cut the rest. I shot the elements. It was a massacre. We even had baby sharks pull him apart for fun.” The Changing Landscape Much of our conversation revolved around the changing realities of visual effects — the rise of AI, the complications of LED walls, and the shifting expectations from directors and studios. “People think VFX is just hitting the ‘do it right' button and then the ‘do it fast' button,” he said. “There's so little appreciation for how hard this stuff is, and we've done ourselves no favours by making it all invisible.” He sees today's VFX artists as increasingly anonymous — a shift he's spent much of his career trying to reverse, both through his own visibility and via his tenure at the Visual Effects Society. “We don't sell our artistry. We sell our software. You know the names of the DPs, but no one can name last year's VFX Oscar winners. That's not sustainable.” The Invisible War Stories At the end of our chat, Okun expressed a desire to tell more of the “true” stories of VFX — the screw-ups, the late-night fixes, the shots that weren't supposed to work. He wants more people to know that the chaos behind the curtain is often where the real creative breakthroughs happen. “It's always fun. That's the only reason I still do it. And when it's collaborative, when it's people bouncing ideas off each other, it's magical. That's when everyone forgets the pain and just remembers the movie.”All the Filmumentaries Links

Cʹest un film catastrophe, absolument spectaculaire qui a fait un triomphe à sa sortie en 1996. Et triomphe, le mot est faible. Le film bouleverse les codes du cinéma, ouvre la voie à la renaissance de genre particulier. Ce film, cʹest Independence Day ; le jour de la riposte, Independence Day ou ID4 en anglais, de Roland Emmerich. Lʹhistoire part dʹun postulat très simple : Et si nous nʹétions pas seuls dans lʹunivers ? Et que faire, quand notre Terre est attaquée par des êtres venus de lʹespace ? Tout commence un jour dʹété tout à fait ordinaire, quand tout à coup des ombres gigantesques recouvrent la Terre. Lʹavenir de la planète et la survie de lʹhumanité sont désormais en jeu. Mais nʹayons aucune crainte, trois hommes - un pilote, un scientifique et le président des Etats-Unis -vont nous sauver. La bataille de la Dernière chance aura lieu le jour de la Fête nationale américaine, le 4 juillet. Simple, voir simpliste, la trame de ce film de Roland Emmerich va pourtant titiller autre chose : le grand spectacle. Sur lʹécran : des explosions, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Moscou rayés de la carte, des héros, et de lʹhumour. Le réalisateur renoue, juste avant lʹan 2000, avec lʹApocalypse version destruction totale, réinvente les films catastrophe, jouant de la surenchère, se calquant sur les films de guerre des années 60, sur les films catastrophe des années 50, et sur tout un univers de films de science-fiction qui ont bercé son enfance, avec des invasions interminables dʹaliens plus méchants les uns que les autres. Epinglé par la critique, détesté, moqué, Independence Day rencontre son public qui se presse en masse pour le voir. Ça secoue dans tous les sens, on sʹen prend plein la vue, et Roland Emmerich en sort la tête haute. REFERENCES DELORME, Gérard, Jour J, Indépendance Day, in Première, 08.1996 Independence Day, Le jour de la riposte, notes de production du film, Twentieth Century Fox.

It's the infamous American movie that enraged Godzilla fans and the movie industry alike, featuring a fish-eating pregnant iguana conceived as a sexy pin-up... the one and only Zilla! We take a deep dive into the filmography of Roland Emmerich -- master of disaster (and so far the only openly queer person to ever direct a Godzilla movie, sorry!) -- to determine that, if this isn't a good Godzilla movie, is it at least a good Emmerich movie? And of course, we talk Godzilla as an accidental trans ace icon, why Maria Pitillo deserved better (and Matthew Broderick deserved worse), The Simpsons connections, bad comedy, unsung practical effects heroes, and much more! It really is, in fact, a lot of fish.

In this episode Jef coaxes Josh and Brian into watching a mystery movie together. Not sure what their fate holds they agree although slightly weary of the 90's pick they are sure is coming. However once all together Jef poses a question: What if there was a horror movie that was like ET & Poltergeist smooshed together, would Josh and Brian be interested? Without thinking too much the answer would always be a resounding hell yes! But is there such a movie? Who would dare create such a Frankenstein mashup of all the things the FM3 loved as children of the 1980's? Sure enough there is such a flick, a literal blender spilling over with nostalgia and maybe a teaspoon of failure. That movie is 1985's "Making Contact" and the Forever Midnight boys are forever blown away that this bootleg messterpiece was ever made. Get ready as Jef, Josh and Brian talk about this wild ride written and directed by Roland Emmerich.  Check out this movie here for free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Juclw7dtbRk

"The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are celebrating Easter with a very special movie about what if Muslim terrorists went back in time to kill Jesus before he was crucified. Yes, amazingly, this movie exists, and it's "Assassin 33 A.D.," also known as "Black Easter," and the guys are discussing it along with the Asylum mockbuster "10 Million B.C." way back when Roland Emmerich's "10,000 B.C." bombed in 2008. Available on Apple and Spotify Episode 344 includes: -Ezra Miller working extra hard to not be employable. -Cronenberg is back to doing what Croneberg do. -Horror flicks "X" and "Choose or Die" are derivative but neither as good or as bad as advertised. -Switch the Pitch -- "10 Million B.C." / "Assassin 33 A.D." -One involves a science team traveling to the past with dinosaurs, the other involves a military team, and scientists, traveling back to the past to kill or save Jesus, so it's only obvious that the combined pitch would be dinosaurs trying to kill Jesus. Surprisingly, both of these schlocky movies earn some respect."

I could easily devote an entire month of Overhated to the movies of Mr. Roland Emmerich, and I'd be smart to re-invite my guest, film critic Rachel West (@rachel_is_here), because she seems to get the appeal of these crazy disaster movies -- even when they're supremely goofy.

Send us a textRemember Godzilla? No not the awesome Godzilla Minus One. No not the awesome 2014 starring Bryan Cranston & Elizabeth Olsen. No not Shin Godzilla. Okay, stop! We're talking about the 1998 Godzilla directed by the disaster movie master Roland Emmerich & starring Mathew Broderick. We remember this movie had a ridiculously long marketing campaign and got a lot of hate. So what aren't we remembering? Join us as we end our Summer Drive-In Double Feature with Blockbuster Heavyweight, Godzilla 1998! Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Send us a textRemember Independence Day 1996? Of course, you do. It stars Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Pill Pullman, and a bunch of other people who get shot at by aliens with the Pew Pews and the big laser beams. We remember loving this movie. There was nothing of this scale when it came to Aliens invading Earth. But a lot of movies have come after Independence Day and we are now worried about just how well this movie will hold up now that we are used to giant budgets and modern special effects. So join us as we go back to the 90s to finish off our Drive-In Double Feature and see if Independence Day is as good as we remember.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Comic News Insider: Episode 1522 is now available for free download! Click on the link or follow on Spotify/subscribe on iTunes! Another SDCC press room! Jimmy attended the roundtables for the new Peacock show THOSE ABOUT TO DIE. He talked to director Roland Emmerich (solo) and actors Moe Hashim and Jojo Macari (paired together). They talked about how close the show stays to historical facts, the scope of the sets, how their characters see one another and more. He also talked to actors Iwan Rheond and Sara Martins but for some reason, the audio file was corrupted. Sorry about that. Please come back to hear all of the SDCC coverage over the next month.  Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!

Since everyday feels like an historical event in 2024, we decided to go back in time to another, 2015's Stonewall. Joined by Jared McCullough of the Black Geek Energy podcast, we discuss this disaster of a movie by the disaster movie master, Roland Emmerich.  Not only does this movie insert a white man into the middle of a historically Black and Latino uprising, not only does it reduce almost every queer character to stereotypes, not only does it manage to make Marasha P. Johnson a footnote in her own story, but it's has the caucacity to be over two hours with just 10 minutes of riot.  We talk about Emmerich's unbelievably tone deaf comments, how ugly the movie looks, and if we'll ever see the Blade movie.  Follow Black Geek Energy wherever you get your podcasts, and get caught up on everything from MCU to the latest anime, to D&D!  Also, this Friday we'll be releasing our Live episode on Youtube for those who missed it or just want to enjoy it again!

In this blast-from-the-past episode of the TruVue Podcast, we dust off an old review that somehow fell through the cracks. Buckle up as we dive into the chaos of "Moonfall"—a wild sci-fi disaster movie where the moon decides it's had enough of orbiting and heads straight for Earth! "Moonfall," directed by Roland Emmerich, follows a group of unlikely heroes as they embark on a mission to save humanity from an impending lunar collision. The movie blends breathtaking visual effects with a high-stakes storyline, featuring a cast led by Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, and John Bradley. As the moon hurtles towards Earth, secrets about its origins are revealed, turning the mission into a race against time and an exploration of the unknown. Join us as we break down the plot, share our favorite moments, and, of course, throw in our usual mix of jokes and NSFW banter. Remember, it's not just about the review; it's the conversation with the crew!

In Independence Day, humanity makes its first contact with an alien race. What follows is one day of destruction, one of despair, and one day where the human race, led by the United States, fights back. Jamelle and John use the film to discuss the triumphalist American optimism of the 1990s as well as the political afterlife of the imagery of the film, which extends into the post-9/11 era.Some of the taglines for Independence Day were “We've always believed we weren't alone. On July 4th, we'll wish we were,” “The day we fight back!” and “Welcome to earth.”Independence Day is available to buy or rent on Amazon Prime or Apple TV. You can also stream it on demand at Hulu.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks, and we'll see you then with an episode on Mars Attacks, Tim Burton's satirical counterpoint to Roland Emmerich's earnest blockbuster.And don't forget our Patreon, where we watch the films of the Cold War and try to unpack them as political and historical documents!

For the third entry in this successful sci-fi/horror franchise, the story kicks off at the very beginning of this worldwide alien invasion....in New York City, the city that never sleeps.  So now these terrifying creatures who are mainly attracted to sound waves....are landing in the ONE place with the most NOISE. :o Our main character this time around is Samira played by Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o who finds herself in the middle of this invasion and we follow her as she attempts to survive....and eventually pairs up with a British law student overseas played by Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things).  What results is a contemplative thrill ride as directed by Michael Sarnoski who recently helmed the acclaimed psychodrama Pig starring Nicholas Cage.  So once again, remember the main rule: SILENCE equals SURVIVAL.  Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a Text Message.https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Roland Emmerich is not known for being an auteur director, but he is known for his disaster movies; the most defining and well-known of which is Independence Day. A movie that was almost called Doomsday. Can you imagine celebrating our Doomsday every 4th of July? A movie called Independence Day, released around Independence Day 1996, was never going to be anything other than a spectacle of American patriotism and the archetypal blockbuster. It was expensive, it was lucrative, and it was bombastic, and it could have only come out in the 90s. It would pay homage to The Day The Earth Stood Still, The War of the Worlds, and 70s disaster movies like The Towering Inferno, Airport and The Poseidon Adventure.Emmerich and his writing partner Dean Devlin knew they wanted to make an alien invasion movie. Surely no one else was doing one at the same time? Oh, hi, Tim Burton. Checkmate.I would love to hear your thoughts on Independence Day !CONTACT....

 It's July 4th and it's beyond me that we haven't covered the 90s patriotic classic, Independence Day until now. Never fear, I'm here with Dustin from @therewatchrecap to get into it. This movie meant so much to us growing up and we talk about our long history with it, the sequel that I regrettably saw in theaters, how this casting is perfect (ahem Jeff Goldblum and Judd Hirsch), and reminisce about the best movie President we've ever had. Off-topic rants: the state of Hollywood and the film industry, Judd Hirsch memories, more 90s nostalgia Ethan Hawke on Independence Day"Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy!"

Independence Day is a 1996 action/disaster blockbuster that was directed by Roland Emmerich. It stars Bill Pullman, Will Smith, and Jeff Goldblum (among many others) as humans forced to scramble to fight off an alien invasion in the days leading up to the 4th of July. The film was released to massive success back in the 90s and briefly held the title as the second highest grossing film of all time (behind Jurassic Park). Despite it's popularity, and it's notability for helping jumpstart Will Smith's film career, it's also a movie that has received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike for close to thirty years now. Which brings us to this video: Should we celebrate ID4? Is it actually a good movie? Welp, that's what here to find out. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mediaobscura/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mediaobscura/support
