Episode 16 Preaction: After Earth (2013)

Joe and Jeff break down the trailers to Will Smith, Jaden Smith, and M. Night Shyamalan's definitely-not-Planet of the Apes-definitely-not-Avatar-definitely-not-Scientology-propaganda science fiction action movie (After Earth). There are so many questions: how did the Earth creatures evolve to kill humans without humans? Why does Will Smith look so weird in half the shots? What color is that guy's hair? What are Joe and Jeff working out emotionally with their interpretation of the aliens? Why does Jaden Smith hate the military? Would Will Smith have authorized the Manhattan Project, knowing the atomic bomb would kill hundreds of thousands of civilians while potentially saving millions of American lives? Is Jaden Smith Aquaman? How can we make Signs good?

 

We will be back on Monday with the full episode for After Earth. It's not free anywhere in any form that doesn't look and sound like garbage (though that might have more to do with the movie itself)!
