Independence Day (1996) with Liam Billingham (Die Hard on a Blank)

Eye of the Duck

We're fighting for our right to live this week! It may not be July but we are very much celebrating Roland Emmerich's All-American UFO disaster epic that's sometimes called "ID4."

Joining us is returning champion and co-host of the very good Die Hard on a Blank podcast, Liam Billingham! Want to know why the heck this film is called ID4? Free yourself from annihilation and listen in!

Next week, it’s the one, the only, MEN IN BLACK! Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx.
