INDEPENDENCE DAY

When powerful aliens launch an all-out invasion, the world’s only hope is a disparate ensemble of heroes who band together to defeat the alien invaders that are bent on exterminating mankind. The survivors devise a plan and July 4th becomes the day humanity fights back for its freedom.

Craig, Alan and guest Austin Vashaw (@VforVashaw on twitter) talk about movies vs their novelizations, the lost art of practical effects, disaster movies and “Independence Day” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
