192 - After Earth (2013)

Disenfranchised

“Do not misunderstand me: danger is very real, but fear is a choice.”

This week, or Gettin’ Jiggy in July theme month continues as we take a look at Will Smith's attempt to make his son Jaden into the next big thing with this 2013 M. Night Shyamalan bomb! Two big names in need of a hit and the child caught in the balance! Join us as we talk this movie's overt influences and world-building and how badly they were trying to build this into a franchise! PLUS, Stephen records during an actual tornado and Tucker gets conflicted about nepo babies!
