Movie Fixers Podcast - Episode 1 - Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

<p>**EDITOR'S NOTE** This podcast was recorded on June &nbsp;2022. Due to equipment and technical errors, it has hindered us to &nbsp;upload the episode at a much earlier time. Apologies.</p> <p>Podcast hosted by Joshua Martes and Jean Paul Bigio.</p> <p>Edited by Joshua Martes.</p> <p>This &nbsp;is the pilot episode of "Movie Fixers." Our goal is to take a film that &nbsp;is regarded as a disappointment, or failure to live up to expectations, &nbsp;or simply put a bad film, and try to improve its flaws with a much &nbsp;improved outline, hence the title of the podcast, "Movie Fixers."</p> <p>We &nbsp;are a very amateur podcast with little to no experience. It is evident &nbsp;that this episode is or will be filled with flaws in terms of editing &nbsp;and off the tangent topics. But that's who we are as hosts, we simply &nbsp;talk about the movie and how it affects us. So please bear in mind of &nbsp;our unprofessional medium. And if you don't like it, that's fine. We'd &nbsp;love to hear some feedback on how to improve our podcast on the next &nbsp;oncoming episodes.</p> <p>On this episode, we will be talking about &nbsp;INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE (2016), directed by Roland Emmerich and &nbsp;starring Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, and Liam Hemsworth. The plot deals &nbsp;with an alternate 2016 when mankind finally rebuilt themselves after &nbsp;the alien invasion that almost wiped out civilization in 1996. Using &nbsp;alien technology after their defeat, humanity reversed engineered it to &nbsp;restore their world and maximize Earth's defenses just in the case of a &nbsp;possible second invasion. But even with their alternate futuristic &nbsp;weapons, they were still unprepared for the return of the alien &nbsp;invaders, and only this time, their ships and firepower have doubled in &nbsp;size. But mankind is not alone in this fight as another mysterious alien &nbsp;spacecraft arrived at Earth to help humanity fight against the alien &nbsp;aggressors.</p> <p>Independence Day: Resurgence is regarded as one of the &nbsp;most disappointing films of 2016; an absolutely unnecessary sequel; and &nbsp;simply a cash grab. Twenty years after the box office smash hit of the &nbsp;90s, the sequel tried to catch lightning in a bottle twice, but of &nbsp;course they missed. Not even Will Smith, pre- or post-Oscar slap, could &nbsp;have saved this movie. But at least it's got Jeff Goldblum, and that's &nbsp;alright by us. For this episode, we try to fix the script and tell an &nbsp;even better story than Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich.</p>
