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.

This week on So Many Sequels, we react to the shocking (but not really) news that Max is being rebranded back to HBO Max. We discuss why it happened, what it means for the platform, and how Warner Bros. is spinning it.We also share first impressions of James Gunn’s Superman trailer, a spoiler-free review of Final Destination: Bloodlines, and some love for Denzel in John Q. Plus: Memorial Day box office predictions and more.

Disaster Month continues with The Day After Tomorrow, where climate change hits fast, Jake Gyllenhaal hides in a library, and Dennis Quaid walks to New York in a blizzard. It's Roland Emmerich doing what he does best: wrecking the world with special effects and barely explaining the science.

In this episode, we break down the movie’s wild logic, those infamous CGI wolves, and how this frozen mess somehow made half a billion dollars. Is it a misunderstood warning—or just big dumb fun? We’ve got thoughts. Plus: Letterboxd chaos, peak 2000s vibes, and our final star ratings.
