S16 Ep868: War of the Worlds (2005)

“[Ryan] Gosling ate this dude’s lunch” - Andrew, on Justin Chatwin

On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza keeps the Spielberg chatter going from last week with a hilarious talk about his 2005 sci-fi adaptation, War of the Worlds!

Couldn’t we have had some puppet aliens instead of those CGI guys? How fantastic is Tim Robbins playing this basement-dwelling lunatic? Should the boy have stayed exploded? How many of us would rather just turn to dust in this situation? And would this movie have been better with Eric as an extra? PLUS: Everyone say hi to Ray Ferrier’s new Bayonne, New Jersey girlfriend, Cigaretta!

World of the Worlds stars Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Justin Chatwin, Miranda Otto, Rick Gonzalez, Yul Vazquez, Lenny Venito, Lisa Ann Walter, and Tim Robbins as Harlan Ogilvy; directed by Steven Spielberg.
