Independence Day vs. War of the Worlds

A comparison of alien invasion movies from two very different cultures.

Get started with a 30-day Audible trial when you go to https://www.audible.com/lindsayellis or text lindsayellis to 500500 and LISTEN for a change.

This is an idea I stole from Dan Olson of Folding Ideas — in effect, this is a remake of a video I did five years ago that hasn’t been online for a while, like a second edition, an updated version of a textbook. There was a lot there that I felt was worthy of revisiting, and more still that I wanted to add. Some of the bones are still there, but this version is much more streamlined and heavier researched, and the irrelevant excess has been cut.
