michael bay's armageddon (with nick laskin)

"Despite what you may have heard, Armageddon is a work of art by a cutting-edge artist who is a master of movement, light, color, and shape—and also of chaos, razzle-dazzle, and explosion." -- Jeanine Basinger, in her essay on Michael Bay's 1998 "Armageddon."

if this podcast was made for one director, it would be Michael Bay. for the second installment in our “rotten apocalypse” series, we’re celebrating the ultimate dudes rock disaster banger: “Armageddon.” the 1998 film was many things: the first movie to put oil drillers in space while eerily predicted 9/11. a movie that gave Owen Wilson his first major Hollywood role and delivered Aerosmith to the Oscars. one that gave Bruce Willis frosted tips and Ben Affleck a brand new set of teeth. “Armageddon” represents all the things we’ve come to love and appreciate about the man who was once hailed as the end of movies as we know them.

podcast regular and Bayhem stan Nick Laskin joins us to wax nostalgic for the halcyon days of the 90s blockbusters we grew up with, as well as a laundry list of other rotten topics including: the all-star character actor lineup Bay assembles for his disaster epic, the unrivaled BDE of Billy Bob Thornton, the unsung MVP Will Patton, the power of Bruce Willis, Michael Bay’s possible thoughts on interracial marriage and music, as well as the golden era of movie soundtracks. so strap in for a very special love letter to a certified classic about dudes prevailing at all fucking costs.

“Armageddon” is available to stream on amazon prime // you can find nick on instagram @vhs_soundtrack88
