For the final chapter of Disaster Month, we're beaming up to one of the weirdest alien invasion movies ever: Mars Attacks! (1996). This star-studded satire directed by Tim Burton packs in lasers, skeletons, and Slim Whitman—all with a wink to 1950s B-movies. But… does it actually hold together, or is it just chaos in a red-and-green package?

We break down the over-the-top performances, bizarre plot choices, and the ridiculous number of celebrity cameos (Jack Nicholson, twice?!). Plus, we debate if the film is missing something essential, like, say, actual jokes. Is Mars Attacks! too scattered to be a true classic, or is it exactly the kind of weird that makes it unforgettable?

👽 Hit follow, leave a review, and tell us: does this movie belong in the disaster canon—or should it be zapped into space?

This week on So Many Sequels, we review Tim Robinson’s new movie Friendship, talk about the 28 Days Later theatrical re-release ahead of 28 Years Later, and explain what the deal is with Skibidi Toilet — and why Michael Bay is turning it into a movie.

We also discuss Memorial Day weekend box office numbers, the Caught Stealing trailer with Austin Butler and Matt Smith, and a nostalgic dive into Three’s Company.
