Michael Bay’s Armageddon — GTGC #291

The 90s keep rolling on with the action-disaster classic, Armageddon. No matter your stance on Michael Bay, it’s hard to argue the impact of his films.

Digging into Armageddon

With a Texas-sized asteroid on route for Earth, NASA comes up with a plan to destroy the death rock in space. But, to do the job right, they recruit a crew of roughneck oil drillers who know NASA’s equipment better than they do. With a stacked cast lead by Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, Armageddon is a touchstone of 90s action cinema. But, how does it fare?

We give our quick reviews and play a game discussing our favorite disaster films. After all of that though, we break Armageddon open on the analysis table. Michael Bay’s style and career is a key talking point this week. We round everything out with discussions of Rockhound, the final days trope, and much more.

Looks like the rock is getting closer, we’ll see you next week…maybe…
