The Nextlander Watchcast Episode 158: Doomsday (2008)
🕑 Added 2025-11-10 23:39:23 +0000 UTCIt's Doomsday Day on the Watchcast, a day that our own Vinny Caravella has hoped and prayed for ever since we launched this podcast. So join us as we go through Vinny's all-time favorite movie, trying to make sense of its frenetic editing and nonsensical plot, or at least as much sense as it deserves.

I rented this back around when it first came out and remember feeling so annoyed with it I just fast forwarded to the ending... Maybe I'll give it another try lol

I feel like this inspired George Miller to go "Actually, I think I do have one more in me..." 15 years later.
