Deep Impact | Apocalyptic Movie Hour
📄 Episode Description
This week on Apocalyptic Movie Hour, we’re diving into the 1998 comet disaster classic Deep Impact. We break down the government cover-up, the E.L.E. reveal, Morgan Freeman as one of the calmest presidents ever, the shelter lottery, the Messiah mission, and the absolute nightmare of trying to survive a planet-killing impact. It’s part disaster movie, part family drama, part prepper thought experiment, with plenty of 90s internet, bunker talk, tsunami chaos, and the big question: what would people actually do if they had one year left?
