2:21
Hi,
2:21
everyone.
2:21
I'm
2:22
Em,
2:22
and
2:22
welcome
2:22
to
2:23
Verbal
2:23
Diorama,
2:23
episode
2:24
343,
2:26
deep
2:26
impact
2:27
versus
2:28
Armageddon.
2:29
This
2:29
is
2:29
the
2:29
podcast
2:30
that's
2:30
all
2:30
about
2:30
the
2:30
history
2:30
and
2:31
legacy
2:31
of
2:31
movies
2:31
you
2:32
know
2:32
and
2:32
movies
2:32
you
2:33
don't.
2:33
That
2:34
could
2:34
spend
2:35
my
2:35
life
2:35
in
2:35
this
2:36
sweet
2:36
surrender.
2:37
I
2:37
could
2:38
stay
2:38
lost
2:38
in
2:38
this
2:38
moment
2:39
forever.
2:40
Where
2:40
a
2:40
moment
2:40
spent
2:41
with
2:41
you
2:41
is
2:41
a
2:42
moment
2:42
I
2:42
treasure
2:43
until
2:44
the
2:44
comet
2:44
hits
2:44
and
2:44
I
2:45
am
2:45
in
2:45
that
2:45
cave
2:45
bunker,
2:46
baby.
2:47
I'm
2:47
sure
2:47
podcasters
2:48
get
2:48
first
2:48
dibs.
2:50
Welcome
2:50
to
2:50
Verbal
2:50
Diorama.
2:51
Whether
2:51
you're
2:51
a
2:51
brand
2:52
new
2:52
listener,
2:52
whether
2:52
you're
2:52
a
2:53
regular
2:53
returning
2:53
listener,
2:54
thank

2:54
much
2:54

2:55
Thank

you
2:56
for
2:56
choosing
2:56
to
2:56
listen
2:56
to
2:57
this
2:57
podcast.
2:58
I'm
2:58
so
2:58
happy
2:58
to
2:59
have
2:59
you
2:59
here
2:59
for
2:59
the
2:59
history
3:00
and
3:00
legacy
3:01
of
3:01
Deep
3:01
Impact
3:02
versus
3:02
the
3:03
history
3:03
and
3:03
legacy
3:03
of
3:04
Armageddon.
3:05
And
3:05
if
3:05
you
3:06
are
3:06
a
3:06
regular
3:06
returning
3:07
listener,
3:07
thank
3:07
you
3:07
so
3:08
much
3:08
for
3:09
continuing
3:09
to
3:09
listen
3:10
to
3:10
this
3:10
podcast
3:10
and
3:11
supporting
3:11
this
3:11
podcast
3:12
over
3:13
the
3:13
last
3:13
seven
3:13
years
3:14
and
3:14
343
3:15
episodes.
3:16
It
3:16
really,
3:16
genuinely
3:17
means
3:18
so
3:18
much
3:18
to
3:18
have
3:18
you
3:19
continue
3:19
to
3:19
come
3:19
back
3:20
and
3:20
to
3:20
continue
3:20
to
3:21
have
3:21
your
3:21
support,
3:22
whether
3:22
that
3:23
is
3:23
just
3:23
listening
3:24
to
3:24
this
3:24
podcast,
3:25
a
3:25
listen
3:25
to
3:25
this
3:25
podcast
3:26
is
3:26
supporting
3:26
this
3:27
podcast,
3:27
and
3:27
I'm
3:28
so
3:28
very
3:28
appreciative.
3:30
So
3:30
this
3:30
episode
3:31
and
3:31
the
3:31
last
3:31
one
3:32
have
3:32
been
3:33
very
3:33
different
3:33
to
3:34
what
3:34
I
3:34
would
3:34
normally
3:35
put
3:35
out.
3:35
They've
3:35
been
3:36
double
3:36
episodes
3:36
about
3:37
twin
3:37
movies,
3:38
a
3:39
phenomenon
3:39
where
3:39
rival
3:40
Hollywood
3:40
studios
3:41
release
3:41
almost
3:42
identical
3:42
movies
3:43
in
3:43
the
3:43
same
3:43
year.
3:44
There
3:45
won't
3:45
be
3:45
any
3:45
more
3:45
of
3:46
these
3:46
episodes.
3:46
Not
3:47
for
3:47
a
3:47
little
3:47
while,
3:47
anyway.
3:48
But
3:48
I
3:48
find
3:49
twin
3:49
movies
3:49
just
3:50
a
3:50
deeply
3:50
interesting
3:51
concept
3:52
that
3:52
really
3:52
seemed
3:53
to
3:53
hit
3:53
its
3:53
peak
3:54
in
3:54
the
3:54
90s.
3:55
So
3:55
the
3:55
last
3:56
episode
3:56
was
3:56
on
3:56
Dante's
3:57
Peak
3:57
and
3:58
volcano.
3:59
And
3:59
just
3:59
when
4:00
you
4:00
think
4:00
two
4:00
volcanoes
4:01
erupts,
4:01
erupting
4:01
within
4:02
months
4:02
of
4:02
each
4:02
other
4:02
was
4:03
far
4:03
fetched.
4:04
What
4:04
about
4:05
planet
4:05
ending
4:06
events?
4:07
Because
4:07
in
4:07
1998,
4:08
two
4:09
massive
4:09
space
4:10
rocks
4:10
hurtled
4:10
towards
4:11
Earth
4:11
within
4:12
a
4:12
couple
4:12
of
4:12
months
4:12
of
4:13
each
4:13
other.
4:13
Deep
4:14
Impact
4:14
is
4:15
a
4:15
comet
4:16
which
4:16
is
4:16
icy
4:17
with
4:17
a
4:17
tail
4:17
from
4:18
the
4:18
outer
4:18
solar
4:18
system.
4:19
And
4:19
Armageddon
4:20
is
4:20
an
4:20
asteroid,
4:21
rocky
4:22
and
4:22
no
4:22
tail.
4:23
Just
4:23
so
4:24
you
4:24
know.
4:24
There
4:24
is
4:24
a
4:24
slight
4:25
difference
4:25
between
4:25
these
4:26
two
4:26
events.
4:26
And
4:27
history
4:27
has
4:27
remembered
4:28
Armageddon,
4:29
but
4:29
not
4:29
particularly
4:30
favourably.
4:31
Deep
4:31
Impact,
4:32
on
4:32
the
4:32
other
4:32
hand,
4:33
has
4:33
largely
4:34
slipped
4:34
under
4:34
the
4:34
radar
4:35
as
4:35
the
4:36
other
4:36
asteroid
4:37
movie.
4:38
So
4:38
I
4:38
wanted
4:38
to
4:38
tell
4:38
the
4:39
story
4:39
of
4:39
each
4:40
and
4:40
about
4:40
how
4:41
they
4:41
basically
4:41
interweave
4:42
with
4:42
each
4:42
other
4:42
in
4:43
so
4:43
many
4:43
ways.
4:44
And
4:44
we
4:45
start
4:45
with
4:45
a
4:45
comet
4:46
on
4:46
a
4:46
collision
4:46
course
4:46
with
4:47
Earth,
4:47
the
4:48
plan
4:48
to
4:48
save
4:49
some
4:49
of
4:49
humanity,
4:50
and
4:50
a
4:50
teen
4:51
marriage
4:51
with
4:51
a
4:51
climb
4:52
up
4:52
a
4:52
hill.
4:53
Only
4:53
one
4:53
of
4:53
these
4:54
two
4:54
movies
4:54
got
4:55
four
4:55
Oscar
4:56
nominations,
4:56
and
4:56
And
4:56
it's
4:56
not
4:56
the
4:56
one
4:56
you
4:56
think.
4:56
Here's
4:56
the
4:56
trailer
4:56
for
4:56
Deep
4:56
Impact..
9:30
Journalist
9:30
Jenny
9:30
Lerner
9:30
is
9:30
assigned
9:31
to
9:31
look
9:31
into
9:31
the
9:31
background
9:32
of
9:32
Secretary
9:33
Alan
9:33
Rittenhouse,
9:34
who
9:34
abruptly
9:35
resigns
9:35
from
9:35
government,
9:35
citing
9:36
his
9:36
wife's
9:37
ill
9:37
health.
9:38
She
9:38
learns
9:38
from
9:38
his
9:39
secretary
9:39
that
9:39
Rittenhouse
9:40
was
9:40
having
9:40
an
9:41
affair
9:41
with
9:41
someone
9:41
named
9:42
Ellie.
9:42
But
9:43
when
9:43
she
9:43
confronts
9:43
him,
9:44
his
9:44
strange
9:45
reaction
9:45
leads
9:46
her
9:46
to
9:46
reconsider
9:46
her
9:47
story.
9:48
In
9:48
fact,
9:48
a
9:49
comet
9:49
discovered
9:49
the
9:50
previous
9:50
year
9:50
by

9:55
is
9:55
on
9:55
a
9:55
collision
9:56
course
9:56
with
9:56
Earth.
9:57
An
9:57
extinction
9:58
level
9:58
event,
9:59
or
9:59
Ellie.
10:00
A
10:01
joint
10:01
U.
10:01
S.
10:02
Russian
10:02
team
10:02
is
10:02
sent
10:03
into
10:03
space
10:03
to
10:03
destroy
10:04
the
10:04
comet.
10:05
But
10:05
should
10:05
it
10:05
fail,
10:06
special
10:06
measures
10:07
are
10:07
put
10:07
in
10:07
place
10:08
to
10:08
secure
10:09
the
10:09
future
10:09
of
10:09
mankind.
10:11

directed

by

11:06
With
11:06
all
11:07
of
11:07
the
11:07
movies
11:07
being
11:07
made
11:08
by
11:08
Hollywood
11:08
studios
11:09
at
11:09
the
11:09
same
11:09
time,
11:10
you
11:10
might
11:10
think
11:10
it's
11:11
practically
11:11
impossible
11:12
to
11:12
get
11:12
a
11:12
twin
11:13
film
11:13
situation.
11:14
You
11:14
can
11:14
go
11:15
for
11:15
decades
11:15
and
11:15
not
11:16
have
11:16
Hollywood
11:16
making
11:17
movies
11:17
about
11:18
Comets
11:18
and
11:18
asteroids,
11:19
and
11:19
then
11:20
in
11:20
the
11:20
mid-90s,
11:20
have
11:21
to
11:21
turn
11:21
up
11:22
at
11:22
once.
11:23
Now,
11:23
in
11:23
the
11:23
case
11:23
of
11:24
many
11:24
twin
11:24
films,
11:24
it
11:25
could
11:25
be
11:25
a
11:25
genuine
11:26
coincidence.
11:27
If
11:27
a
11:27
character
11:28
is
11:28
in
11:28
the
11:28
public
11:28
domain,
11:29
like
11:29
Robin
11:29
Hood
11:29
or
11:30
Frankenstein,
11:31
you're
11:31
likely
11:31
to
11:32
find
11:32
a
11:32
few
11:32
examples
11:32
of
11:33
the
11:33
characters
11:33
across
11:33
studios
11:34
because
11:34
they're
11:35
easy
11:35
to
11:35
adapt
11:36
and
11:36
known
11:36
to
11:36
viewers.
11:37
Or
11:38
you
11:38
could
11:38
have
11:38
one
11:39
studio
11:39
having
11:40
an
11:40
idea
11:40
and
11:40
a
11:41
competing
11:41
studio
11:42
deciding
11:42
to
11:42
do
11:42
something
11:43
similar,
11:43
to
11:44
be
11:44
the
11:44
first
11:44
to
11:45
market
11:45
and
11:45
to
11:45
guarantee
11:46
dominance.
11:47
Although
11:47
that's
11:48
not
11:48
always
11:48
the
11:49
case.
11:50
Olympus
11:50
Has
11:51
Fallen
11:51
beat
11:51
White
11:52
House
11:52
down
11:52
to
11:52
cinemas
11:53
by
11:53
three
11:53
months.
11:54
But
11:54
White
11:54
House
11:55
down
11:55
took
11:55
$20
11:56
million
11:57
more
11:57
at
11:57
the
11:57
box
11:58
office.
11:59
But
11:59
in
11:59
the
11:59
case
11:59
of
12:00
Deep
12:00
Impact
12:00
versus
12:01
Armageddon,
12:02
just
12:02
like
12:02
Dante's
12:03
Peak
12:03
and
12:03
Volcano,
12:04
two
12:04
remarkably
12:05
similar
12:05
ideas.
12:06
One
12:07
a
12:07
story
12:07
about
12:07
how
12:08
humanity
12:08
reacts
12:09
to
12:09
an
12:09
extinction
12:09
level
12:10
event,
12:10
and
12:11
the
12:11
other
12:11
about
12:12
drillers
12:12
in
12:12
space,
12:13
but
12:13
again,
12:14
one
12:14
a
12:14
bit
12:14
more
12:15
accurate
12:15
than
12:15
the
12:16
other.
12:16
But
12:16
it
12:16
was
12:17
still
12:17
two
12:17
studios
12:18
fighting
12:18
each
12:19
other
12:19
for
12:19
dominance
12:20
this
12:20
time
12:21
round,
12:21
Paramount
12:22
and
12:22
Disney.
12:23
So
12:24
let's
12:24
start
12:24
with
12:24
Deep
12:24
Impact,
12:25
the
12:25
movie
12:25
that
12:25
came
12:25
out
12:26
first
12:26
on
12:26
8
12:27
May
12:28
1998.
12:29
The
12:30
origins
12:30
of
12:30
Deep
12:30
Impact
12:31
go
12:31
all
12:31
the
12:31
way
12:31
back
12:31
to
12:32
the
12:32
late
12:32
1970s,
12:33
when
12:33
producers
12:34
Richard
12:34
D.
12:34
Zanuck
12:35
and
12:35
David
12:35
Brown,
12:36
the
12:36
team
12:36
behind
12:37
Jaws,
12:37
approached
12:38
Paramount
12:38
about
12:39
remaking
12:39
the
12:40
1951
12:41
science
12:41
fiction
12:41
film,
12:42
When
12:42
Worlds
12:42
Collide
12:43
itself,
12:44
based
12:44
on
12:44
the
12:44
1933
12:45
science
12:46
fiction
12:46
novel
12:46
of
12:47
the
12:47
same
12:47
name.
12:48
They'd
12:48
been
12:48
trying
12:49
to
12:49
get
12:49
their
12:49
version
12:50
made
12:50
since
12:50
the
12:50
70s
12:51
heyday
12:51
of
12:52
disaster
12:52
flicks.
12:53
But
12:53
in
12:53
the
12:53
90s,
12:54
thanks
12:54
to
12:55
independent
12:55
Stay
12:55
and
12:55
Twister,
12:56
disaster
12:57
movies
12:57
became
12:58
cool
12:58
again.
12:59
When
12:59
Worlds
13:00
Collide's
13:00
storyline
13:01
is
13:01
about
13:01
the
13:01
coming
13:02
destruction
13:02
of
13:02
the
13:02
Earth
13:03
by
13:03
a
13:03
rogue
13:03
star
13:04
called
13:04
Belus,
13:05
and
13:05
the
13:05
desperate
13:05
efforts
13:06
to
13:06
build
13:06
a
13:06
space
13:07
ark
13:07
to
13:08
transport
13:08
a
13:08
group
13:08
of
13:09
men
13:09
and
13:09
women
13:09
to
13:09
Belus
13:10
single
13:11
planet
13:11
Zyra.
13:12
Several
13:13
screenplay
13:13
drafts
13:14
were
13:14
completed
13:14
over
13:15
the
13:15
years,
13:15
but
13:15
the
13:15
project
13:16
remained
13:16
in
13:16
development
13:17
hell
13:17
until
13:18
they
13:18
approached
13:19
Steven
13:19
Spielberg.
13:20
Spielberg
13:21
had
13:21
already
13:21
bought
13:22
the
13:22
film
13:22
Rights
13:22
to
13:23
the
13:23
1993
13:24
novel
13:24
the
13:24
Hammer
13:25
of
13:25
God
13:25
by
13:25
Arthur
13:26
C.
13:26
Clarke,
13:27
which
13:27
is
13:27
set
13:27
in
13:28
the
13:28
year
13:28
2109
13:29
and
13:29
deals
13:30
with
13:30
the
13:30
discovery
13:30
of
13:31
an
13:31
asteroid
13:31
to
13:32
be
13:32
on
13:32
course
13:32
to
13:32
collide
13:33
with
13:33
Earth,
13:34
and
13:34
depicts
13:34
the
13:34
mission
13:35
for
13:35
deflecting
13:35
the
13:36
asteroid
13:36
by
13:36
using
13:37
fusion
13:37
thermal
13:38
rockets.
13:39
Spielberg
13:40
planned
13:40
to
13:40
produce
13:41
and
13:41
direct
13:41
the
13:42
Hammer
13:42
of
13:42
God
13:42
himself
13:43
for
13:44
his
13:44
then
13:44
fledgling
13:45
DreamWorks
13:45
studio,
13:46
but
13:46
agreed
13:47
with
13:47
Zanuck
13:47
and
13:48
Brown
13:48
to
13:48
merge
13:49
the
13:49
two
13:49
projects,
13:50
When
13:50
Worlds
13:51
Collide
13:51
and
13:51
the
13:51
Hammer
13:52
of
13:52
God
13:52
into
13:52
one
13:53
movie,
13:53
and
13:54
they
13:54
commissioned
13:54
a
13:54
screenplay
13:55
for
13:55
what
13:56
would
13:56
become
13:56
Deep
13:57
Impact.
13:58
They
13:58
contacted
13:59
screenwriter
14:00
Bruce
14:00
Joel
14:01
Rubin,
14:01
who
14:01
won
14:01
the
14:02
best
14:02
original
14:02
Screenplay
14:03
Academy
14:03
Award
14:04
in
14:04
1991
14:05
for
14:05
Ghost
14:06
to
14:06
write
14:06
this
14:07
script,
14:07
and
14:08
in
14:08
1995,
14:09
Deep
14:09
Impact
14:10
was
14:10
announced
14:10
in
14:11
industry
14:11
publications
14:12
as
14:12
having
14:13
a
14:13
screenplay
14:13
by
14:13
Bruce
14:14
Joel
14:14
Rubin
14:15
and
14:15
being
14:15
based
14:16
on
14:16
the
14:16
film
14:17
When
14:17
Worlds
14:17
Collide
14:18
and
14:18
the
14:18
novel
14:19
the
14:19
Hammer
14:19
of
14:19
God
14:20
by
14:20
Arthur
14:20
C.
14:21
Clarke.
14:22
Although
14:22
ultimately,
14:23
following
14:23
a
14:24
subsequent
14:24
redraft
14:25
by
14:25
Michael
14:25
Tolkien,
14:27
the
14:27
resulting
14:27
movie
14:28
was
14:28
so
14:28
dissimilar
14:28
to
14:29
the
14:29
two
14:29
sources
14:30
that
14:30
neither
14:30
source
14:31
would
14:31
be
14:31
credited
14:31
in
14:32
the
14:32
final
14:32
film,
14:33
something
14:33
that
14:33
would
14:34
annoy
14:34
Arthur
14:35
C.
14:35
Clarke,
14:35
despite
14:36
the
14:36
influence
14:37
being
14:37
undeniable
14:38
and
14:38
Clarke
14:39
still
14:39
being
14:39
compensated.
14:40
Regardless,
14:41
Spielberg
14:42
planned
14:42
to
14:43
direct
14:43
Deep
14:43
Impact
14:44
himself,
14:45
but
14:45
commitments
14:45
to
14:46
his
14:46
1997
14:47
film
14:47
Amistad
14:48
prevented
14:48
him
14:49
from
14:49
doing
14:49
so.
14:50
Originally,
14:50
the
14:51
studio
14:51
planned
14:51
to
14:51
wait
14:52
for
14:52
Spielberg,
14:53
but
14:53
then
14:53
disaster
14:54
struck,
14:55
figuratively
14:56
at
14:56
least
14:57
according
14:57
to
14:58
Deep
14:58
Impact
14:58
screenwriter
14:59
Bruce
14:59
Joel.
15:00
Rubin,
15:00
a
15:01
production
15:01
president
15:02
at
15:02
Disney,
15:02
took
15:03
notes
15:03
on
15:03
everything
15:04
Rubin
15:04
said
15:04
during
15:05
a
15:05
lunch
15:05
about
15:06
his
15:06
script
15:07
and
15:07
then
15:07
initiated
15:08
Armageddon
15:09
as
15:09
a
15:09
counter
15:10
film.
15:11
Touchstone
15:12
Pictures
15:12
then
15:12
announced
15:13
Armageddon,
15:14
also
15:15
targeting
15:15
a
15:16
summer
15:16
1998
15:17
release.
15:18
Bizarrely,
15:19
these
15:19
two
15:20
weren't
15:20
the
15:20
only
15:21
meteor
15:21
based
15:21
projects
15:22
floating
15:22
around
15:23
Hollywood
15:23
at
15:24
the
15:24
time
15:24
either.
15:25
Another
15:25
called
15:26
Bright
15:26
Angel
15:27
Falling
15:27
was
15:27
originally
15:28
penned
15:28
by
15:28
James
15:29
Cameron
15:29
and
15:30
set
15:30
to
15:30
be
15:30
directed
15:30
by
15:31
Peter
15:31
Hyams
15:32
and
15:32
allegedly
15:33
something
15:33
that
15:33
he'd
15:34
been
15:34
working
15:34
on
15:34
for
15:35
half
15:35
a
15:35
decade.
15:36
The
15:36
project
15:36
was
15:37
set
15:37
up
15:37
at
15:37
20th
15:38
Century
15:38
Fox,
15:39
the
15:39
screenplay
15:40
for
15:40
it
15:40
was
15:40
finished,
15:41
and
15:41
it
15:41
also
15:41
had
15:42
a
15:42
child
15:42
protagonist
15:43
who
15:43
realizes
15:44
a
15:44
comet
15:44
is
15:45
on
15:45
trajectory
15:45
with
15:45
the
15:46
earth
15:47
with
15:47
three
15:47
months
15:47
before
15:48
the
15:48
end
15:48
of
15:48
days.
15:50
When
15:50
word
15:50
of
15:50
Cameron
15:51
and
15:51
Hyams
15:51
project
15:52
came
15:52
to
15:52
light,
15:53
DreamWorks
15:54
poured
15:54
more
15:54
money
15:54
and
15:55
resources
15:55
into
15:56
Deep
15:56
Impact
15:56
and
15:57
Disney
15:57
spent
15:58
even
15:58
more
15:58
on
15:58
Armageddon.
16:00
Bright
16:00
Angel
16:01
Falling
16:01
would
16:01
have
16:01
been
16:02
third
16:02
out
16:02
of
16:03
the
16:03
gate,
16:03
and
16:03
so
16:03
it
16:04
was
16:04
ultimately
16:04
cancelled.
16:05
Either
16:06
way,
16:06
the
16:06
emergence
16:07
of
16:07
the
16:07
Michael
16:08
Bay
16:08
directed
16:08
Armageddon
16:09
accelerated

16:12
Not
16:12
wanting
16:12
to
16:13
wait
16:13
for
16:13
Spielberg
16:14
to
16:14
be
16:14
available,
16:15
the
16:15
producers
16:15
needed
16:16
a
16:16
new
16:16
director.
16:17
Spielberg
16:18
had
16:18
worked
16:18
with
16:18
Mimi
16:19
Leder
16:19
on
16:19
the

distributed

16:22
as
16:23
well
16:23
as

being
16:23

16:33
with
16:34
Spielberg
16:35
staying
16:35
on
16:35
as
16:35
executive
16:36
producer,
16:37
so
16:37
the
16:37
producers
16:38
knew
16:38
there
16:38
was
16:39
a
16:39
competing
16:39
movie
16:39
on
16:40
the
16:40
horizon.
16:40
But
16:40
Leder
16:41
was
16:41
kept
16:41
in
16:41
the
16:42
dark
16:42
initially.
16:43
She'd
16:43
later
16:44
find
16:44
out
16:44
that
16:44
the
16:44
press
16:45
was
16:45
trying
16:45
to
16:45
pit
16:45
the
16:46
two
16:46
films
16:46
against
16:47
each
16:47
other.
16:48
Leder
16:48
wasn't
16:48
actually
16:49
a
16:49
fan
16:49
of
16:49
science
16:50
fiction,
16:50
but
16:51
she
16:51
reasoned
16:51
the
16:51
story's
16:52
scale
16:52
would
16:52
allow
16:53
her
16:53
to
16:53
explore
16:54
human
16:54
drama
16:54
on
16:55
an
16:55
epic
16:55
level,
16:56
focusing
16:56
on
16:57
relationships
16:57
and
16:57
families
16:58
rather
16:59
than
16:59
spectacle.
17:01
Spoiler
17:01
alert.
17:02
Michael
17:02
Bay
17:02
would
17:03
do
17:03
the
17:03
opposite.
17:04
While
17:04
there
17:04
hasn't
17:05
been
17:05
an
17:05
extinction
17:06
level
17:06
event
17:06
since
17:07
the
17:07
one
17:07
that
17:07
made
17:08
the
17:08
dinosaurs
17:08
extinct
17:09
65
17:09
million
17:10
years
17:10
ago,
17:11
in
17:11
the
17:11
1970s,
17:12
scientists
17:13
discovered
17:13
unusual
17:14
spikes
17:15
in
17:15
iridium
17:15
and
17:16
in
17:16
various
17:16
sites
17:17
around
17:17
the
17:17
world.
17:18
And
17:18
because
17:18
asteroids
17:19
have
17:19
higher
17:19
levels
17:20
of
17:20
iridium,
17:21
scientists
17:22
quickly
17:22
started
17:22
wondering
17:23
if
17:23
the
17:23
dinosaurs
17:24
might
17:24
have
17:25
been
17:25
wiped
17:25
out
17:25
by
17:25
an
17:26
impact
17:26
event.
17:27
The
17:27
discovery
17:28
of
17:28
the
17:28
Chicxulub
17:29
impact
17:29
crater
17:30
around
17:30
the
17:30
same
17:31
time
17:31
further
17:32
supported
17:32
the
17:32
asteroid
17:33
extinction
17:34
explanation.
17:34
And
17:35
the
17:35
demise
17:35
of
17:35
the
17:36
dinosaurs
17:36
was
17:36
solved.
17:37
Since
17:38
then,
17:38
there
17:38
haven't
17:39
been
17:39
any
17:39
similar
17:40
events.
17:40
Touch
17:41
wood.
17:41
But
17:41
there
17:42
was
17:42
a
17:42
very
17:42
direct
17:43
real
17:43
world
17:43
catalyst
17:44
that
17:45
inspired
17:45
both
17:45
Deep
17:46
Impact
17:46
and
17:46
Armageddon.
17:47
And
17:47
it
17:48
happened
17:48
just
17:49
four
17:49
years
17:49
before
17:50
their
17:50
release.
17:51
Comet
17:52
Shoemaker
17:52
Levy
17:53
9
17:53
was
17:53
discovered
17:54
in
17:54
1993
17:55
by
17:55
astronomers
17:56
Carolyn
17:57
and
17:57
Eugene
17:58
Shoemaker
17:58
and
17:58
David
17:59
Levy.
18:00
It
18:00
had
18:00
been
18:00
captured
18:01
by
18:01
Jupiter
18:01
and
18:02
was
18:02
orbiting
18:02
the
18:03
planet
18:03
at
18:03
the
18:03
time.
18:04
It
18:04
was
18:05
the
18:05
first
18:05
active
18:05
comet
18:06
observed
18:07
to
18:07
be
18:07
orbiting
18:08
a
18:08
planet.
18:09
But
18:09
astronomers
18:10
predicted
18:10
that
18:10
the
18:11
comet
18:11
was
18:11
likely
18:11
to
18:12
collide
18:12
with
18:12
Jupiter.
18:13
And
18:13
as
18:13
its
18:14
orbit
18:14
became
18:15
more
18:15
accurately
18:15
established,
18:16
the
18:16
possibility
18:17
of
18:17
collision
18:18
went
18:18
from
18:18
likely
18:19
to
18:19
certain.
18:20
With
18:20
the
18:21
collision
18:21
expected
18:21
to
18:22
cause
18:22
eruptions
18:23
of
18:23
material
18:24
from
18:24
the
18:24
layers
18:24
normally
18:25
hidden
18:25
beneath
18:26
the
18:26
clouds.
18:27
In
18:27
July
18:28
1994,
18:29
it
18:29
passed
18:29
within
18:30
Jupiter's
18:31
Roche
18:31
limit,
18:31
which
18:32
is
18:32
the
18:32
distance
18:32
from
18:33
a
18:33
celestial
18:34
body
18:34
within
18:35
which
18:35
a
18:35
second
18:35
celestial
18:36
body,
18:37
held
18:37
together
18:38
only
18:38
by
18:38
its
18:38
own
18:39
force
18:39
of
18:39
gravity,
18:40
disintegrates.
18:41
Because
18:41
the
18:41
first
18:42
body's
18:42
tidal
18:43
forces
18:43
exceed
18:44
the
18:44
second
18:44
body's
18:45
self
18:45
gravitation,
18:46
which
18:47
in
18:47
layman's
18:47
terms
18:48
means
18:48
that
18:48
Jupiter's
18:49
tidal
18:49
forces
18:50
broke
18:50
the
18:51
comet
18:51
apart
18:51
and
18:52
the
18:52
fragments
18:52
collided
18:53
with
18:53
Jupiter
18:54
over
18:54
a
18:54
six
18:55
day
18:55
period
18:56
between
18:56
the
18:56
16th
18:57
and
18:57
22nd
18:58
of
18:58
July
18:59
1994
19:00
at
19:00
a
19:00
speed
19:00
of
19:01
approximately
19:01
37
19:02
miles
19:02
per
19:02
second
19:03
or
19:03
134,000
19:05
miles
19:05
per
19:05
hour.
19:06
Providing
19:06
the
19:07
first
19:07
direct
19:08
observation
19:09
of
19:09
an
19:09
extraterrestrial
19:10
collision
19:11
of
19:11
solar
19:11
system
19:12
bodies.
19:13
It
19:13
generated
19:14
massive
19:14
media
19:14
coverage
19:15
and
19:15
brought
19:15
together
19:16
teams
19:16
of
19:16
scientists
19:17
and
19:17
astronomers
19:18
worldwide
19:19
to
19:19
witness
19:20
the
19:20
event.
19:21
The
19:21
biggest
19:21
fragment
19:22
struck
19:22
Jupiter
19:23
with
19:23
the
19:23
force
19:24
equivalent
19:24
of
19:25
6
19:25
million
19:25
megatons
19:26
of
19:26
TNT.
19:28
The
19:28
impact
19:28
left
19:29
scars
19:29
on
19:29
Jupiter's
19:30
atmosphere,
19:31
more
19:31
visible
19:31
than
19:32
the
19:32
Great
19:32
Red
19:32
Spot,
19:33
persisting
19:34
for
19:34
many
19:34
months.
19:35
And
19:36
Jupiter
19:36
plays
19:36
an
19:37
important
19:37
role
19:37
in
19:37
protecting
19:38
the
19:38
inner
19:38
solar
19:39
system
19:39
from
19:39
comets.
19:40
It's
19:41
called
19:41
the
19:41
Jupiter
19:42
Barrier.
19:42
And
19:42
the
19:43
gravitational
19:43
influence
19:44
of
19:44
Jupiter
19:45
on
19:45
passing
19:45
interstellar
19:46
and
19:46
in
19:47
system
19:47
objects,
19:48
which
19:48
includes
19:48
asteroids
19:49
and
19:49
comets.
19:50
They're
19:50
attracted
19:51
to
19:51
Jupiter
19:52
and
19:52
either
19:52
captured
19:52
in
19:53
its
19:53
orbit
19:53
or
19:54
destroyed
19:54
through
19:55
impacting
19:55
the
19:55
planet.
19:57
Jupiter
19:57
has
19:57
been
19:58
nicknamed
19:58
the
19:58
solar
19:59
system's
19:59
cosmic
20:00
vacuum
20:00
cleaner
20:00
by
20:01
astronomers
20:01
who
20:02
speculate
20:02
that
20:02
its
20:03
gravity
20:03
reduces
20:04
the
20:04
amount
20:04
of
20:04
objects
20:05
reaching
20:05
the
20:06
inner
20:06
solar
20:06
system,
20:07
protecting
20:08
the
20:08
smaller
20:08
planets
20:09
from
20:09
impact
20:09
events.
20:11
Despite
20:11
this
20:11
fact,
20:12
if
20:12
Jupiter
20:13
was
20:13
vulnerable
20:14
then
20:14
scientists
20:15
suggested
20:16
that
20:16
maybe
20:16
Earth
20:17
could
20:17
be
20:17
too.
20:18
Had
20:18
the
20:19
comet
20:19
hit
20:19
Earth
20:20
instead,
20:20
it
20:21
could
20:21
have
20:21
created
20:22
a
20:22
global
20:22
atmospheric
20:23
disaster,
20:24
much
20:24
like
20:25
the
20:25
impact
20:25
event
20:25
that
20:26
wiped
20:26
out
20:26
the
20:27
dinosaurs
20:28
65
20:28
million
20:29
years
20:29
ago.
20:30
The
20:30
event
20:30
shook
20:31
up
20:31
both
20:31
the
20:31
scientific
20:32
community
20:32
and
20:33
governments,
20:34
hammering
20:34
home
20:34
the
20:35
possibility
20:35
of
20:35
a
20:36
world
20:36
ending
20:36
event
20:37
coming
20:37
from
20:37
the
20:37
sky.
20:38
Before
20:39
The
20:39
Shoemaker
20:39
Levy
20:40
9
20:40
impact,
20:41
the
20:41
term
20:41
planetary
20:42
defense
20:43
didn't
20:43
exist.
20:44
Nowadays
20:45
there
20:45
are
20:45
teams
20:46
of
20:46
scientists
20:47
tracking
20:47
near
20:47
Earth
20:48
objects,
20:49
which
20:49
are
20:49
asteroids
20:50
that
20:50
come
20:50
within
20:51
30
20:51
million
20:51
miles
20:52
of
20:52
Earth's
20:52
Earth's
20:53
orbit.
20:53
But
20:54
back
20:54
in
20:54
the
20:54
mid-1990s,
20:55
only
20:56
a
20:56
few
20:56
teams,
20:57
including
20:57
the
20:58
Shoemakers,
20:58
were
20:59
looking
20:59
for
20:59
asteroids
21:00
in
21:00
the
21:00
inner
21:00
solar
21:01
system.
21:02
So
21:02
it's
21:02
really
21:02
no
21:03
coincidence
21:03
that
21:03
only
21:04
a
21:04
few
21:04
years
21:04

21:26
a
21:27
lovely

Freeman's
23:00
casting
23:00
as
23:00
President
23:01
Beck
23:01
was
23:02
controversial
23:02
at
23:02
the
23:03
time
23:03
due
23:03
to
23:04
widespread

23:05
that

Barack

Obama
23:12
personally
23:13
thanked
23:13
her,
23:14
suggesting
23:14
that
23:14
the

23:15
played
23:15
some
23:15
small
23:16
cultural
23:16
role
23:17
in
23:17
making
23:17
the

idea
23:18
of
23:18
an
23:18
African
23:19
American
23:19
president
23:20
feel
23:20
conceivable
23:21
to

American
23:22
audiences.
23:23
President
23:24
Beck
23:24
is
23:24
now
23:25
consistently
23:25
ranked

24:22
This

him

the

24:57

a

24:59
response
25:00
to

the

25:00
but
25:01
the
25:01
budget
25:01
wouldn't
25:01
stretch
25:02
to
25:02
filming
25:02
in
25:03
other
25:03
countries,
25:03
which
25:03
is
25:04
why
25:04
the
25:04
movie
25:05
is
25:05
so
25:05
very
25:05
US
25:06
centric.
25:07
Although
25:07
just
25:07
like
25:07
Armageddon,
25:08
Russia
25:09
does
25:09
also
25:09
play
25:10
a

small

the

for

a

to
27:46
look
27:46
not
27:47
Earth
27:47
like
27:47
and
27:48
was
27:48
inspired
27:48
by
27:49
a
27:49
piece
27:49
of

27:50

27:50
called
27:51
a

that

he'd
27:57
picked
27:57
up
27:57
in
27:57
Tunisia
27:58
while
27:58
working
27:59

of
27:59
the
28:00

28:00
years
28:00
earlier.
28:02
That
28:02
single
28:02
object
28:02
became
28:03
the
28:03
visual
28:03
foundation
28:04
for
28:04
the
28:04
entire
28:05
comet
28:05
design.
28:07
The
28:07
comet
28:07
itself
28:07
is
28:08
depicted
28:08
as
28:08
nearly
28:09
white
28:09
in
28:09
the
28:09
film,
28:10
but
28:10
in
28:10
reality,
28:11
comets
28:11
are
28:11
among
28:11
the
28:12
darkest
28:12
objects
28:12
in
28:13
the
28:13
solar
28:13
system,
28:14
reflecting
28:14
only
28:15
about
28:15
3%
28:16
of
28:16
the
28:16
light
28:16
that
28:17
hits
28:17
them.
28:18
The
28:18
producers
28:18
were
28:19
fully
28:19
aware
28:19
of
28:19
this,
28:19
but
28:20
the
28:20
special
28:20
effects
28:21
technology
28:21
of
28:21
the
28:21
time
28:22
made
28:22
it
28:22
essentially
28:23
impossible
28:24
to
28:24
render
28:24
a
28:24
black
28:25
object
28:25
convincingly
28:26
against
28:27
black
28:27
space.
28:28
The
28:29
comet
28:29
face
28:29
was
28:30
constructed
28:30
with
28:30
a
28:30
labyrinth
28:31
of
28:31
tunnels
28:32
built
28:32
beneath
28:32
it
28:32
to
28:33
allow
28:33
for
28:33
lighting
28:34
rigs
28:34
and
28:34
gaseous
28:35

The
28:39
scale
28:39
of
28:40
the
28:40
practical
28:40
construction
28:41
is
28:41
easy
28:41
to
28:41
underestimate.
28:42
Given
28:43
how
28:43
much
28:43

28:46
The
28:46
production
28:47
leaned
28:47
heavily
28:47
on
28:48
a
28:48
blend
28:48
of
28:48

28:49

29:10
these

hold
29:11
up
29:11
particularly
29:11
well
29:12
as

well.
29:12
The
29:13

29:13
looks
29:13
convincing
29:14
even
29:14
as
29:14

29:35
an

29:35
of
29:35

29:36

Unfortunately,
29:49
there's
29:49
no
29:50
gravity
29:50
in
29:50

29:51
and
29:51
so

29:52

29:58
be

painstakingly
30:00
removed

30:01
The
30:01

30:02
unsurprisingly,
30:03
was
30:03
an
30:03

30:05
No

30:07
in

1998.
30:08
That
30:08
was
30:08
a
30:08
massive
30:09
job
30:09
and
30:10
it
30:10
mostly
30:10
holds
30:11
up
30:11
and
30:11

what

30:31
and
30:31
flooding
30:31
coastal
30:32
cities,
30:32
was
30:33
praised
30:33
by
30:33
astronomer
30:34
Phil
30:34
Plait
30:35
as
30:35
pretty
30:35
accurate
30:36
and
30:37
far
30:37
more
30:37
plausible
30:38
than
30:38
a
30:38
direct
30:38
city
30:39
strike,
30:40
considering
30:40
it's
30:40
statistically
30:41
much
30:41
likelier
30:42
for
30:42
an
30:43
object
30:43
to
30:43
hit
30:43
ocean
30:44
than
30:44
land.
30:45
Throughout
30:46
production,
30:46
the
30:46
Deep
30:47
Impact
30:47
team
30:47
were
30:48
aware
30:48
of
30:48
the
30:49
rivalry
30:49
between
30:50
it
30:50
and
30:50
the
30:51
upcoming
30:51
Armageddon.
30:52
An
30:53
original
30:53
line
30:53
of
30:53
dialogue
30:54
in
30:54
the
30:54
script
30:55
had
30:55
President
30:55
Beck
30:56
say,
30:56
life
30:57
will
30:57
go
30:57
on.
30:58
We
30:58
will
30:58
prevail.
30:59
This
30:59
is
30:59
not
31:00
Armageddon.
31:01
The
31:01
final
31:01
four
31:02
lines
31:02
were
31:02
eventually
31:03
cut
31:03
when
31:03
it
31:04
became
31:04
apparent
31:04
that
31:05
both
31:05
movies
31:05
would
31:05
be
31:06
coming
31:06
out
31:06
within
31:06
two
31:07
months
31:07
of
31:07
each
31:07
other.
31:08
Deep
31:09
Impact
31:09
is
31:09
also
31:09
dedicated
31:10
to
31:10
the
31:10
memory
31:11
of
31:11
cinematographer
31:12
Dietrich
31:12
Lohmann,
31:13
who
31:13
was
31:13
diagnosed
31:14
with
31:14
leukemia
31:14
and
31:15
died
31:15
in

November

31:17
just
31:17
after

Deep

was
31:20
released
31:20
on

May

1998.
31:22
It

31:24

31:26
its
31:26
80
31:26

31:26

31:27
budget.
31:27
It
31:27
grossed

140
31:28

31:36

31:37
While
31:38
Armageddon
31:38
would
31:38
make
31:39
more
31:39
money,
31:39
it
31:40
also
31:40
cost
31:40
twice
31:41
as
31:41
much.
31:41
Deep

31:45

Armageddon's

31:49
Deep
31:50
impact
31:50
unfortunately,
31:51
didn't
31:52
have
31:52
much
31:52
of
31:52
a
31:52
deep
31:53

31:53
on

it

32:11
It

32:17
Dark

32:18
and
32:19
Armageddon.
32:20
I
32:20
bet
32:20
that
32:20
was
32:21
a
32:21
punch
32:21
to
32:21
the
32:21
gut.
32:23
Despite
32:23
Deep
32:23
Impact
32:24
being
32:24
a
32:24
box
32:25

32:25

32:25
and
32:26

32:29
Mimi
32:29
Leder
32:29
would
32:30
go
32:30
on
32:30
to
32:30
direct
32:30
Pay
32:30
it
32:31
forward
32:31
in
32:31
2000,
32:32
which
32:32
was
32:33
a
32:33
box
32:33
office
32:33
flop.
32:34
She
32:34
would
32:35
direct
32:35
Morgan
32:35
Freeman
32:36
again
32:36
in
32:36
2009
32:37
with
32:37
thick
32:38
as
32:38
Thieves,
32:38
but
32:39
then
32:39
didn't
32:39
direct
32:39
another
32:40
feature
32:40
film
32:40
until
32:41
on
32:41
the
32:41
basis
32:42
of
32:42
sex
32:42
in
32:42
2018.
32:44
Leder
32:44
would
32:44
say
32:45
that
32:45
when
32:45
Pay
32:45
It
32:45
Forward
32:46
bombed,
32:46
the
32:47
scripts
32:47
simply
32:48
stopped
32:48
coming.
32:49
Despite
32:49
Deep
32:50
Impact
32:50
having
32:51
been
32:51
a
32:51
genuine
32:52
hit,
32:53
it
32:53
seems
32:53
that
32:53
it
32:53
wasn't
32:54
just
32:54
Deep
32:54
Impact
32:55
that
32:55
was
32:55
overshadowed
32:56
by
32:56
Armageddon,
32:57
but
32:58
it's
32:58
director
32:59
too.
33:00
Speaking
33:01
of
33:01
Deep
33:01
Impacts,
33:02
this
33:02
is
33:03
a
33:03
good
33:03
time
33:03
to
33:03
segue
33:03
into
33:04
the
33:04
obligatory
33:04
Kianu
33:05
reference
33:05
of
33:05
this
33:06
episode.
33:06
I
33:07
did
33:07
almost
33:07
forget
33:08
about
33:08
this
33:09
because
33:09
of
33:09
the
33:09
weird
33:10
way
33:10
these
33:10
episodes
33:11
are
33:11
structured.
33:12
I
33:12
didn't
33:13
actually
33:13
put
33:13
this
33:13
in
33:13
my
33:13
notes,
33:14
so
33:14
I'm
33:14
doing
33:14
this
33:14
on
33:15
the
33:15
fly
33:15
during
33:16
editing
33:16
because
33:17
that's
33:17
how
33:17
podcasts
33:18
work.
33:19
If
33:19
you're
33:19
not
33:19
aware,
33:19
the
33:20
obligatory
33:20
Keanu
33:21
reference
33:21
is
33:21
something
33:21
that
33:21
I
33:21
like
33:22
to
33:22
do
33:22
every
33:22
episode
33:23
and
33:23
I
33:23
like
33:23
to
33:23
try
33:23
and
33:24
link
33:24
the
33:24
movie
33:25
or
33:25
movies
33:25
that
33:26
I'm
33:26
featuring
33:26
with
33:27
Keanu
33:27
Reeves
33:28
for
33:28
no
33:28
reason
33:28
other
33:29
than
33:29
he
33:29
is
33:29
the
33:30
best
33:30
of
33:30
men.
33:31
And
33:32
I
33:32
was
33:32
thinking,
33:33
what
33:33
does
33:34
Keanu
33:34
mean
33:34
to
33:35
this
33:35
podcast?
33:35
Well,
33:36
he's
33:36
had
33:36
a
33:36
very
33:37
deep
33:37
impact
33:38
on
33:38
this
33:39
podcast
33:39
because
33:39
he's
33:40
featured
33:40
in
33:40
pretty
33:41
much
33:41
every
33:41
episode.
33:42
And
33:43
then
33:43
I
33:43
thought
33:43
to
33:43
myself,
33:44
what
33:44
would
33:44
this
33:44
podcast
33:45
be
33:45
like
33:46
without
33:46
the
33:46
obligatory
33:47
Keanu
33:48
reference?
33:49
Well,
33:50
it
33:50
would
33:50
be
33:50
Armageddon,
33:51
wouldn't
33:52
it?
33:53
And
33:53
so
33:53
that's
33:53
the
33:53
easiest
33:54
way
33:54
to
33:54
link
33:54
Keanu
33:55
Reeves
33:55
to
33:56
these
33:56
two
33:56
movies.
33:57
And
33:58
bring
33:58
on
33:58
the
33:58
Bayhem,
33:59
I
33:59
guess,
34:00
because
34:00
this
34:00
is
34:00
the
34:00
first
34:01
appearance
34:02
for
34:02
a
34:02
Michael
34:03
Bay
34:03
movie
34:04
on
34:04
this
34:04
podcast.
34:05
Because
34:05
who
34:06
needs
34:06
astronauts
34:07
who
34:07
have
34:07
trained
34:08
their
34:08
whole
34:08
lives
34:08
for
34:09
a
34:09
space
34:09
mission?
34:10
Intelligent,
34:11
capable,
34:12
disciplined
34:13
at
34:13
the
34:13
peak
34:13
of
34:14
their
34:14
physical
34:14
fitness,
34:15
and
34:15
mentally
34:16
and
34:16
emotionally
34:17
prepared
34:17
for
34:18
space
34:18
travel.
34:19
Being
34:19
taught
34:20
how
34:20
to
34:20
drill
34:21
when
34:22
you
34:22
could
34:22
just
34:22
teach
34:23
drillers
34:24
how
34:24
to
34:24
become
34:24
astronauts.
34:26
Here's
34:26
the
34:26
trailer
34:27
for
34:27
Armageddon.
36:51
After
36:51
New
36:51
York
36:52
City
36:52
is
36:52
damaged
36:53
by
36:53
hundreds
36:53
of
36:53
small
36:54
meteorites,
36:55
NASA
36:55
discovers
36:56
an
36:56
asteroid
36:57
the
36:57
size
36:57
of
36:57
Texas
36:58
is
36:58
on
36:58
a
36:58
collision
36:59
course
36:59
with
36:59
Earth.
37:00
They
37:00
recruit
37:01
the
37:01
world's
37:02
best
37:02
deep
37:02
core
37:02
driller,
37:03
Harry
37:03
Stamper,
37:04
to
37:04
train
37:05
astronauts
37:05
who
37:06
will
37:06
go
37:06
to
37:06
the
37:06
asteroid,
37:07
drill
37:07
into
37:08
the
37:08
center
37:08
and
37:08
detonate
37:09
a
37:09
nuclear
37:10
warhead.
37:11
Harry
37:11
says
37:12
he
37:12
can't
37:12
train
37:13
men
37:13
to
37:13
drill
37:13
in
37:14
10
37:14
days.
37:15
So
37:15
he
37:15
brings
37:15
his
37:16
own
37:16
team
37:16
of
37:16
roughnecks
37:17
to
37:17
learn
37:18
to
37:18
become
37:18
astronauts
37:19
in
37:19
10
37:19
days
37:20
and
37:20
get
37:20
the
37:21
job
37:21
done.
37:22
Let's
37:23
run
37:23
through
37:23
the
37:23
cast.
37:24
We
37:24
have
37:24
Bruce
37:25
Willis
37:25
as
37:26
Harry
37:26
S.
37:26
Stamper,
37:27
Billy
37:28
Bob
37:28
Thornton
37:29
as
37:29
Dan
37:29
Truman,
37:30
Ben
37:31
Affleck

Armageddon

has
38:06
a
38:06
screenplay
38:07
by
38:07
Jonathan
38:07
Hensleigh
38:08
and
38:08
J.J.
38:09

38:10
adaptation

by
38:11
Tony
38:11
Gilroy
38:12
and
38:12

38:13
story
38:14
by
38:14
Robert
38:15
Roy
38:15
Paul
38:15
and
38:16
Jonathan
38:16
Hensley,
38:17
and
38:17
was
38:17
directed
38:18
by
38:18
Michael
38:19
Bay.
38:20
So
38:21
meanwhile,
38:22
over
38:22
at
38:22
the
38:22
other
38:23
world
38:23
ending
38:24
event
38:24
movie,
38:25
the
38:25
team
38:25
at
38:26
Armageddon
38:26
had
38:26
basically
38:27
taken
38:27
the
38:27
idea
38:28
and
38:28
they
38:29
were
38:29
also
38:29
going
38:29
to
38:30
run
38:30
with
38:30
it.
38:30
But
38:30
they
38:31
had
38:31
a
38:31
considerable
38:32
disadvantage
38:33
starting
38:34
later.
38:35
Michael
38:36
Bay
38:36
and
38:36
Jerry
38:36
Bruckheimer
38:37
had
38:37
already
38:38
made
38:38
two
38:38
films
38:38
together,
38:39
Bad
38:39
Boys
38:40
in
38:40
1995
38:41
and
38:41
the
38:42
Rock
38:42
in
38:42
1996,
38:44
both
38:44
of
38:44
which
38:44
were
38:45
major
38:45
hits.
38:46
Bay's
38:47
success
38:47
on
38:47
those
38:48
films
38:48
led
38:48
to
38:48
a
38:49
strong
38:49
partnership
38:49
and
38:50
friendship
38:50
with
38:50
Bruckheimer,
38:51
and
38:51
Armageddon
38:52
was
38:52
essentially
38:53
the
38:53
next
38:53
natural
38:54
step
38:54
in
38:54
that
38:55
collaboration.
38:56
It
38:56
wasn't
38:57
a
38:57
case
38:57
of
38:57
Bay
38:57
being
38:58
hired
38:58
for
38:58
a
38:58
project
38:59
already
38:59
in
38:59
development.
39:00
He
39:00
was
39:01
in
39:01
the
39:01
room
39:01
when
39:02
the
39:02
concept
39:02
was
39:03
conceived.
39:04
He
39:04
was
39:04
working
39:05
with
39:05
executive
39:05
producer
39:06
Jonathan
39:06
Hensley
39:07
after
39:07
the
39:07
Rock
39:08
and
39:08
couldn't
39:09
find
39:09
a
39:09
story
39:09
he
39:10
liked.
39:11
So
39:11
Hensley
39:11
pitched
39:12
this
39:12
crazy
39:13
asteroid
39:13
destroying
39:14
the
39:14
world
39:14
movie,
39:15
Bad
39:15
Boys,
39:16
and
39:16
the
39:16
Rock
39:16
had
39:16
already
39:17
established
39:17
him
39:17
as
39:18
a
39:18
director
39:18
with
39:19
a
39:19
demonstrable
39:20
eye
39:20
for
39:20
popcorn
39:21
hits.
39:21
And
39:21
he
39:22
brought
39:22
exactly
39:23
the
39:23
sensibility
39:23
that
39:24
Bruckheimer
39:24
wanted.
39:25
Maximum
39:25
spectacle,
39:26
kinetic
39:27
energy,
39:27
and
39:28
the
39:28
music
39:28
video
39:29
grammar
39:29
that
39:29
could
39:29
make
39:30
an
39:30
audience
39:30
feel
39:31
the
39:31
scale
39:31
of
39:31
a
39:31
disaster.
39:32
Or
39:32
rather
39:33
than
39:33
simply
39:33
observe
39:34
it.
39:35
Armageddon
39:35
was
39:36
Bay's
39:36
first
39:36
attempt
39:37
at
39:37
a
39:37
truly
39:37
gigantic
39:38
blockbuster
39:39
with
39:39
massive
39:40
set
39:40
designs,
39:41
cgi,
39:41
an
39:42
all
39:42
star
39:42
cast,
39:43
and
39:43
the
39:43
level
39:43
of
39:43
action
39:44
he
39:44
was
39:44
used
39:44
to
39:45
in
39:45
previous
39:45
movies.
39:47
Nine
39:47
writers
39:47
worked
39:48
on
39:48
the
39:48
script,
39:49
only
39:49
five
39:49
of
39:50
whom
39:50
received
39:50
credit.
39:51
Robert
39:52
Roy
39:52
Poole,
39:52
who
39:53
wrote
39:53
the
39:53
original
39:53
draft,
39:54
Jonathan
39:54
Hensleigh,
39:55
who
39:55
wrote
39:55
the
39:56
draft
39:56
that
39:56
was
39:56
greenlit
39:57
by
39:57
Touchstone,
39:58
Plus
39:58
Tony
39:58
Gilroy,
39:59
Shane
39:59
Salerno
40:00
and
40:00
J.J.
40:01
abrams.
40:01
Yeah,
40:02
that
40:02
J.J.
40:03
abrams.
40:03
Others
40:04
who
40:04
contributed
40:05
without
40:05
credit
40:06
included
40:06
Paul
40:07
Attanazio,
40:08
Anne
40:08
Bideman,
40:09
Scott
40:09
Rosenberg
40:10
and
40:10
Robert
40:11
Towne.
40:12
And
40:12
because
40:12
they
40:12
were
40:13
playing
40:13
catch
40:13
up,
40:13
they
40:14
had
40:14
very
40:14
little
40:15
time
40:15
to
40:15
mess
40:15
around.
40:16
Thanks
40:17

40:17
a

1997

40:18
Rom
40:18
com
40:19
by
40:19
the
40:19
name
40:19
of
40:19
Broadway
40:20
Brawler
40:20
Falling
40:21
Apart.
40:21
Bruce
40:22
Willis
40:22
was
40:22
committed
40:23
to
40:23
making
40:23
three
40:24
more
40:24
movies
40:24
for
40:24
Disney,
40:26
the
40:26
first
40:26
of
40:26
which
40:27
was
40:27
going
40:27
to
40:28
be
40:28
Armageddon.
40:29
The
40:29
second
40:29
was
40:30
the
40:30
Sixth
40:30
Sense,
40:31
the
40:31
third
40:31
was
40:32
the
40:32
Kid,
40:32
so
40:33
he
40:33
was
40:33
cast
40:33
in
40:34
the
40:34
movie
40:34
as
40:34
Harry
40:35
Stamper.
40:36
Liv
40:36
Tyler
40:37
initially
40:37
turned
40:38
down
40:38
the
40:38
role
40:38
of
40:38
Harry's
40:39
daughter
40:39
Grace.
40:39
Several
40:40
times
40:40
she
40:41
changed
40:41
her
40:41
mind
40:41
because
40:42
she
40:42
was
40:42
scared
40:42
of
40:42
it
40:43
and
40:43
then
40:43
wanted
40:43
to
40:44
try
40:44
it
40:44
for
40:44
that
40:44
very
40:45
reason.
40:46
Her
40:46
casting
40:46
would
40:47
lead
40:47
to
40:47
Aerosmith's
40:48
involvement
40:49
on
40:49
the
40:49
soundtrack.
40:50
Her
40:50
real
40:50
life
40:50
father
40:51
is
40:51
the
40:51
lead
40:52
singer,
40:52
Steven
40:52
Tyler.
40:53
The
40:54
song
40:54
I
40:54
Don't
40:54
Want
40:55
to
40:55
Miss
40:55
a
40:55
Thing
40:55
was
40:56
written
40:56
by
40:56
Diane
40:57
Warren,
40:57
and
40:58
she
40:58
originally
40:58
envisioned
40:59
it
40:59
being
40:59
performed
40:59
by
41:00
someone
41:00
like
41:00
Celine
41:01
Dion.
41:02
It
41:02
became
41:02
Aerosmith's
41:03
biggest
41:03
hit
41:04
by
41:04
far,
41:04
their
41:04
only
41:05
US
41:05
Number
41:05
one.
41:06
And
41:06
it
41:06
revived
41:07
their
41:07
fortunes
41:08
entirely.
41:09
Aerosmith
41:09
would
41:10
contribute
41:10
three
41:10
songs
41:11
to
41:11
the
41:11
soundtrack
41:13
even
41:13
before
41:14
filming
41:14
for
41:14
Armageddon
41:15
began.
41:16
Filming
41:16
had
41:17
begun
41:18
before
41:18
principal
41:19
photography
41:19
officially
41:20
began
41:20
in
41:21
the
41:21
Badlands
41:21
of
41:21
South
41:22
Dakota
41:22
in
41:22
August
41:23
1997.
41:24
Bay
41:24
and
41:25
his
41:25
crew
41:25
had
41:25
already
41:26
shot
41:26
thousands
41:26
of
41:27
feet
41:27
of
41:27
film
41:28
capturing
41:28
sequences
41:29
in
41:29
New
41:29
York
41:30
and
41:30
Texas,
41:31
as
41:31
well
41:31
as
41:31
unprecedented
41:32
major
41:33
second
41:33
unit
41:34
photography
41:34
at
41:35
Cape
41:35
Canaveral.
41:37
Cinematographer
41:38
John
41:38
Schwarztman
41:39
used
41:39
13
41:39
cameras
41:40
to
41:40
film
41:40
an
41:41
actual
41:41
shuttle
41:42
launch
41:42
in
41:42
April
41:43
1997,
41:44
months
41:45
before
41:45
principal
41:46
photography
41:46
officially
41:47
began.
41:48
The
41:48
technical
41:48
challenge
41:49
was
41:49
extraordinary.
41:50
NASA's
41:51
post
41:51
fueling
41:51
lockdown
41:52
protocol
41:53
meant
41:53
nobody
41:54
could
41:54
be
41:54
within
41:54
4
41:55
miles
41:55
of
41:55
the
41:56
pad
41:56
for
41:56
24
41:57
hours.
41:57
But
41:58
Schwarzman
41:58
had
41:59
cameras
41:59
positioned
42:00
within
42:00
150ft
42:01
of
42:01
it.
42:02
Those
42:02
cameras
42:03
had
42:03
to
42:03
sit
42:03
unattended
42:04
in
42:04
Florida
42:05
heat
42:05
and
42:05
humidity
42:06
for
42:06
up
42:06
to
42:07
48
42:07
hours
42:07
and
42:08
still
42:08
fire
42:09
perfectly
42:09
on
42:09
cue.
42:11
Because
42:11
NASA
42:12
banned
42:12
the
42:12
crew's
42:13
own
42:13
triggering
42:13
system
42:14
to
42:14
protect
42:14
the
42:15
launch
42:15
electronics,
42:16
A
42:16
special
42:16
code
42:17
was
42:17
written
42:17
into
42:18
the
42:18
shuttle's
42:18
own
42:19
computer
42:19
launch
42:19
sequence
42:20
to
42:21
fire
42:21
Schwarzman's
42:22
cameras
42:22
45
42:23
seconds
42:24
before
42:24
main
42:25
engine
42:25
ignition.
42:26
And
42:26
then
42:27
Michael
42:27
Bay
42:27
apparently
42:28
saw
42:28
a
42:28
poster
42:29
of
42:29
a
42:29
night
42:29

42:30

42:30
on
42:30
a
42:31
NASA
42:31
bathroom
42:31
wall,
42:32
was
42:32
struck
42:33
by
42:33
the
42:33
image
42:34
and
42:34
rewrote
42:35
the
42:35
script
42:35
to
42:35
include
42:36
one
42:36
of
42:36
those
42:36
too.
42:37
So
42:37
Schwarztman
42:38
had
42:38
to
42:38
return
42:38
to
42:39
Kennedy
42:39
Space
42:39
center
42:40
six
42:40
weeks
42:41
later
42:41
to
42:41
do
42:42
it
42:42
all
42:42
again
42:42
at
42:43
night.
42:44
The
42:44
production
42:44
was
42:44
also
42:45
allowed
42:45
to
42:45
shoot
42:45
on
42:46
the
42:46
actual
42:46
launch
42:47
gantry,
42:47
while
42:48
the
42:48
real
42:48
Shuttle
42:49
Endeavour
42:49
stood
42:50
live
42:50
on
42:50
the
42:50
pad
42:51
days
42:51
from
42:51
its
42:52
actual
42:52
launch
42:52
date
42:53
in
42:53
January
42:53
1998.
42:55
The
42:56
production
42:56
mentality
42:57
was
42:57
genuinely
42:57
improvisational
42:58
at
42:59
times.
42:59
On
43:00
one
43:00
occasion,
43:00
they
43:00
drove
43:01
to
43:01
Washington
43:01
D.C.
43:02
on
43:02
a
43:02
Sunday
43:02
with
43:03
a
43:03
crew
43:03
of
43:03
five
43:03
people,
43:04
Dolly
43:04
Track
43:05
and
43:05
cameras
43:05
in
43:05
a
43:06
van,
43:06
and
43:06
bribed
43:07
Capitol
43:07
police
43:08
with
43:08
signed
43:08
hats
43:09
from
43:09
the
43:09
Rock
43:10
to
43:10
let
43:10
them
43:10
lay
43:10
track
43:11
inside
43:11
the
43:11
Capitol
43:12
grounds.
43:13
Principal
43:13
photography
43:14
of
43:14
Armageddon
43:15
officially
43:15
began
43:16
on
43:16
27
43:17
August
43:18
1997
43:19
and
43:19
ended
43:19
on
43:20
29
43:21
January
43:22
1998.
43:23
And
43:23
you're
43:23
probably
43:24
wondering,
43:24
well,
43:25
how
43:25
did
43:25
Armageddon
43:26
get
43:26
permission
43:27
to
43:27
film
43:28
in
43:28
such
43:28
intimate
43:29
and
43:29
secure
43:30
places?
43:31
And
43:31
that's
43:31
really
43:31
all
43:32
down
43:32
to
43:32
Jerry
43:32
Bruckheimer,
43:33
because
43:34
his
43:34
relationship
43:34
with
43:35
the
43:35
US
43:35
government
43:36
and
43:36
military,
43:37
built
43:37
through
43:37
films
43:38
like
43:38
Top
43:38
Gun,
43:39
gave
43:39
Armageddon
43:40
access
43:40
that
43:41
Deep
43:41
Impact.
43:42
Filming
43:42
at
43:42
the
43:43
same
43:43
time
43:43
simply
43:44
didn't
43:44
have.
43:45
Schwarzman
43:46
described
43:46
it
43:46
as
43:46
carte
43:47
blanche.
43:47
Everywhere
43:48
they
43:48
went.
43:49
It
43:49
meant
43:49
no
43:50
waiting
43:50
for
43:50
permits
43:51
or
43:51
workarounds
43:52
that
43:52
they
43:52
could
43:52
shoot
43:53
at
43:53
actual
43:53
NASA
43:54
facilities,
43:55
including
43:55
oil
43:56
rigs
43:56
and
43:56
air
43:56
bases
43:57
as
43:57
scheduled.
43:58
NASA
43:59
gave
43:59
them
43:59
access
44:00
worth
44:00
an
44:00
estimated
44:01
$19
44:02
billion.
44:03
This
44:03
included
44:04
access
44:04
to
44:04
the
44:05
neutral
44:05
buoyancy
44:06
lab.
44:06
A
44:06
65
44:07
million
44:07
gallon
44:08
40
44:08
foot
44:09
deep
44:09
pool
44:10
used
44:10
to
44:10
train
44:10
astronauts
44:11
for
44:11
weightlessness.
44:12
And
44:12
the
44:13
use
44:13
of
44:13
two
44:13
ten
44:14
million
44:14
dollar
44:15
spacesuits.
44:16
The
44:16
scenes
44:16
on
44:17
the
44:17
oil
44:17
rig
44:17
were
44:17
shot
44:18
on
44:18
an
44:18
actual
44:19
oil
44:19
rig
44:19
off
44:20
of
44:20
the
44:20
coast
44:20
of
44:21
Galveston.
44:22
The
44:22
asteroid
44:23
surface
44:23
sequences
44:24
were
44:24
shot
44:24
on
44:25
stage
44:25
two
44:25
at
44:26
Walt
44:26
Disney
44:26
Studios.
44:27
And
44:27
that
44:28
required
44:28
excavation
44:29
of
44:29
30ft
44:30
of
44:30
soil
44:30
and
44:31
beneath
44:31
the
44:31
stage
44:32
floor
44:32
to
44:32
achieve
44:33
the
44:33
extreme
44:33
topography
44:35
that
44:35
gave
44:35
the
44:35
set
44:35
roughly
44:36
90ft
44:36
of
44:37
height.
44:37
And
44:37
because
44:37
of
44:38
its
44:38
bold
44:38
shape
44:38
and
44:39
atmospheric
44:39
effects,
44:40
very
44:40
few
44:41
sky
44:41
replacements
44:42
were
44:42
needed
44:42
in
44:42
post,
44:43
which
44:43
saved
44:44
time
44:44
there
44:44
too.
44:45

44:46

44:47

44:48
concurrently.
44:49
Overseeing
44:50
all

44:53
Who
44:53
you
44:54
may
44:54
remember
44:54
from
44:54
such
44:55
recent
44:55
episodes
44:56
as
44:56
Dante's
44:57
Peak.
44:58
McClung
44:59
knew
44:59
that
44:59
CGI
45:00
in
45:00
1997
45:01
wasn't
45:02
yet
45:02
ready
45:02
to
45:03
carry
45:03
everything
45:03
convincingly
45:04
on
45:04
its
45:04
own.
45:05
Dreamquest's
45:06
miniatures
45:07
team
45:07
built
45:07
a
45:08
model
45:08
of
45:08
the
45:08
asteroid's
45:09
exterior
45:10
measuring
45:10
28
45:11
by
45:11
15ft.
45:12
While
45:12
the
45:13
interior
45:13
model
45:13
ran
45:14
80
45:14
by
45:14
25ft,
45:16
complete
45:16
with

45:17
long
45:18

45:18
at
45:18
the

45:19
The
45:20
jagged
45:20

45:21
were
45:21
hand
45:21
carved
45:22
from
45:22
huge
45:22
blocks
45:23
of

45:24
Fitted
45:24
over
45:24
steel
45:25
armatures,
45:26
then
45:26
painted

45:30
McClung
45:31
divided
45:31
responsibility
45:32
with
45:32
Dreamquest
45:33

45:33
Richard
45:34
Hoover
45:34
and
45:35
the
45:35
division
45:35
of
45:35

45:36
was
45:36
deliberate.
45:37
Anything
45:37
requiring
45:38
heavy
45:38
3D
45:39
imaging
45:39
went
45:39
to
45:40
Dreamquest.
45:41
Because
45:41
they
45:41
had
45:41
a
45:41
powerhouse
45:42
digital
45:42

45:48
to

45:54

45:55
Independence

45:59

46:00
6ft

46:01
They
46:01
were
46:01
fabricated
46:02
from
46:02
epoxy
46:03
and
46:03
fiberglass
46:04
and

they

incorporated

a

which
46:16
is
46:16
enormous
46:17
by
46:17
miniature

46:18
For
46:18
specific

46:19
like
46:20
the

46:24
The
46:24
key
46:25
to
46:25
making
46:25
it
46:25
work
46:25
was
46:26
blending
46:26
the
46:26
practical
46:27
with
46:27
the
46:27
digital
46:28
rather
46:28
than
46:29
choosing
46:29
between
46:29
them.
46:30
McClung's
46:31
team
46:31
shot
46:31

46:35
then
46:35

these
46:36
with
46:36
the
46:36
3D
46:37

46:37
generated
46:38
graphics.
46:39
The
46:39
challenge
46:40
was
46:40
matching
46:40
all
46:40
of
46:41
that
46:41

46:45
His
46:46
camera
46:46
was
46:47
always
46:47
moving
46:48
and
46:48
so
46:48
it
46:48
was
46:48
important
46:49
to
46:49
create
46:49
seamless

46:51

the

difference
47:24
between
47:24
Armageddon
47:25
and
47:25
Deep

47:27
Midway
47:27
during
47:28
production,
47:28
a
47:29
real
47:29
life
47:29
event
47:29
happened
47:30
too.
47:31
On
47:31
6
47:32
December
47:32
1997,
47:33
James
47:34
V.
47:34
Scotti
47:34
of
47:35
the
47:35
University
47:35
of
47:36
Arizona
47:36
Space
47:37
Watch
47:37
project
47:38
discovered
47:38
a
47:38
kilometer
47:39
sized
47:39
asteroid
47:41
353961997
47:43
XF11.
47:46
And
47:46
after
47:46
a
47:46
three
47:47
month
47:47
observation
47:48
period,
47:48
an
47:49
erroneous
47:49
circular
47:50
and
47:50
press
47:50
information
47:51
sheet
47:51
was
47:52
released
47:52
stating
47:53
that
47:53
it
47:53
stood
47:54
a
47:54
small
47:54
possibility
47:55
of
47:55
hitting
47:56
the
47:56
Earth
47:56
in
47:56
2028.
47:58
And
47:58
many
47:59
news
47:59
outlets
47:59
picked
48:00
up
48:00
on
48:00
this
48:00
potential
48:01
disaster,
48:02
spreading
48:02
the
48:02
misinformation
48:03
to
48:03
the
48:03
public.
48:04
Within
48:05
hours
48:05
of
48:05
the
48:05
announcement,
48:06
independent
48:07
calculations
48:08
by
48:08
scientists
48:09
calculated
48:10
the
48:10
probability
48:10
of
48:11
an
48:11
impact
48:11
on
48:12
Earth
48:12
was
48:13
essentially
48:13
zero.
48:14
It's
48:15
now
48:15
known
48:15
the
48:16
asteroid
48:16
will
48:16
pass
48:17
Earth
48:17
on
48:17
26
48:18
October
48:19
2028
48:20
at
48:21
a
48:21
distance
48:21
of
48:21
929,000
48:23
km.
48:25
But
48:25
for
48:25
the
48:26
briefest
48:26
of
48:26
brief
48:27
moments,
48:27
Earth
48:28
was
48:28
doomed.
48:29
And
48:29
this
48:29
just
48:29
fueled
48:30
the
48:30
production
48:31
to
48:31
make
48:31
a
48:31
full
48:32
on
48:32
maximalist
48:33
asteroid
48:34
movie
48:35
with
48:35
all
48:35
of
48:35
the
48:35
scale
48:36
and
48:36
all
48:36
of
48:37
the
48:37
ambition.
48:38
But
48:38
the
48:38
time
48:38
constraints
48:39
on
48:39
this
48:39
movie
48:40
were
48:40
huge.
48:41
Armageddon
48:42
had
48:42
to
48:42
be
48:42
shot
48:43
and
48:43
edited
48:44
in
48:44
just
48:44
16
48:45
weeks
48:45
and
48:46
it
48:46
was
48:46
practically
48:47
impossible.
48:48
The
48:48
severe
48:49
pressure
48:49
got
48:49
to
48:49
everyone.
48:50
The
48:50
visual
48:51
effects
48:51
supervisor
48:52
ended
48:52
up
48:52
having
48:52
a
48:53
nervous
48:53
breakdown
48:54
and
48:54
Michael
48:54
Bay
48:55
had
48:55
to
48:55
manage
48:55
the
48:56
visual
48:56
effects
48:56
work
48:57
himself,
48:58
calling
48:58
James
48:58
Cameron
48:59
for
48:59
advice.
49:00
Bay
49:01
actually
49:01
ended
49:01
up
49:01
apologizing
49:02
publicly
49:03
for
49:03
the
49:03
situation.
49:04
A
49:04
rare
49:05
moment
49:05
of
49:05
humility
49:06
for
49:07
a
49:07
man
49:07
known
49:07
for
49:07
his
49:08
hubris.
49:09
With
49:09
the
49:10
final
49:10
budget
49:10
being
49:11
$140
49:12
million,
49:12
it
49:13
was
49:13
Disney's
49:13
most
49:14
expensive
49:14
film
49:15
at
49:15
the
49:15
time.
49:16
Armageddon
49:17
released
49:17
on
49:17
1
49:18
July
49:19
1998
49:20
and
49:20
despite
49:20
critical
49:21
hostility,
49:22
it
49:22
grossed
49:23
$201.6
49:24
million
49:25
domestically,
49:27
$352.1
49:28
million
49:29
internationally,
49:30
for
49:31
a
49:31
total
49:31
worldwide
49:32
gross
49:32
of
49:32
$553.7
49:34
million.
49:36
Making
49:36
it
49:36
the
49:37
highest
49:37
grossing
49:37
film
49:38
of
49:38
1998.
49:40
While
49:40
the
49:40
critics
49:40
didn't
49:41
rave
49:41
about
49:41
it,
49:42
it
49:42
only
49:42
has
49:42
a
49:43
49%
49:43
on
49:44
rotten
49:44
tomatoes.
49:45
It
49:45
does
49:45
have
49:46
the
49:46
distinction
49:47
of
49:47
being
49:47
one
49:48
of
49:48
critic
49:48
Roger
49:49
Ebert's
49:49
most
49:49
hated
49:50
films
49:51
and
49:51
he
49:51
named
49:51
it
49:52
his
49:52
worst
49:52
film
49:52
of
49:53
1998
49:54
over

49:55
which
49:56
was
49:56
also

a

recent
49:57
episode
49:57
of
49:57
this
49:58
podcast.
49:58
And
49:59
as
49:59
I
49:59
mentioned,
50:00
one
50:00
of
50:00
these
50:00
movies
50:01
has
50:01
four
50:01
Oscar
50:02

50:02
and
50:03
it
50:03
wasn't

Deep

50:05

50:18
supervisor
50:18
Patrick
50:19
McClung
50:19
was
50:19
convinced
50:20
they'd
50:21
win

the
50:21
Oscar
50:21
for
50:22
Best
50:22

50:23
but
50:23
then
50:23
they
50:24
lost
50:24
to
50:24
what
50:24
dreams
50:25
may
50:25
come.
50:26
McClung
50:27
was
50:27
gutted
50:27
and
50:27
headed
50:28
back
50:28
to
50:28
the
50:28
Armageddon
50:29

50:29
at
50:29
the
50:29

50:30
only
50:30
to
50:31
find
50:31
the
50:31
whole

50:32
had
50:32
left
50:33
furious
50:33
at
50:33
their
50:34
loss.
50:35
Armageddon
50:36
was
50:36
also
50:36

50:51

50:51
as
50:52
I
50:52
mentioned,
50:52
it
50:53
did
50:53
beat
50:53

at

the

Saturn

50:57
Technically
50:58
it
50:58
was
50:58
a
50:58
tie,
50:59
but
50:59
it
50:59
did
50:59
win.
51:00
Perhaps
51:00
the
51:01
most
51:01
remarkable
51:01
footnote
51:02
is
51:02
that
51:02
the
51:03
movie
51:03
is
51:03
enlisted
51:04
into
51:04
the

51:09
They
51:10
put
51:10
out
51:10
a
51:10
director's
51:11
cut
51:11
of
51:11
the
51:11
film,
51:11
which
51:12
included
51:12
commentary
51:13
by
51:13
Bay
51:14
himself,
51:15
as
51:15
well
51:15
as
51:15
additional
51:15
scenes,
51:16
including
51:16
a
51:17
scene
51:17
between
51:17
Harry
51:17
Stamper
51:18
and
51:18
his
51:18

51:19
played

Lawrence
51:20

51:22
scholar
51:22
Jeanine
51:22
Basinger,
51:23
who
51:23
talked
51:24
Bay
51:24
at
51:24
Wesleyan
51:25
University,
51:26
wrote
51:26
an
51:26
essay
51:27
calling
51:27
the
51:27
director's
51:28
cut
51:28
a
51:29
work
51:29
of
51:29

51:29

51:29
a
51:30
cutting
51:30

51:30
artist
51:31
who
51:31
is
51:31
a
51:32
master
51:32
of
51:32
movement,
51:33
light,
51:33
colour
51:34
and
51:34
shape.
51:35
In
51:36
the
51:36
commentary
51:36
track,
51:37
Ben
51:37
Affleck
51:38
says
51:38
he
51:38
asked
51:38
Bay
51:39
why
51:39
it
51:39
was
51:39
easier
51:39
to
51:40
train
51:40
oil
51:40
drillers
51:41
to
51:41
become
51:41
astronauts
51:42
than
51:42
it
51:42
was
51:42
to
51:43
train
51:43
astronauts
51:43
to
51:43
become
51:44
oil
51:44
drillers.
51:45
Let's
51:45
just
51:45
say
51:46
Michael
51:46
Bay
51:46
told
51:46
him
51:47
to
51:47
be
51:47
quiet,
51:48
but
51:48
in
51:48
a
51:48
more
51:48
sweary
51:49
way.
51:50
Where
51:50
scientific
51:51
accuracy
51:51
is
51:52
concerned,
51:52
just
51:53
like
51:53
Dante's
51:53
Peak
51:54
and
51:54
Volcano,
51:55
you
51:55
have
51:55
one
51:55
movie
51:56
that
51:56
attempts
51:57
accuracy,
51:57
in
51:58
this
51:58
case
51:58
Deep
51:58
Impact,
51:59
and
51:59
the
52:00
other
52:00
that
52:00
blatantly
52:01
ignores
52:01
science.
52:02
The
52:03
asteroid,
52:03
being
52:03
the
52:04
size
52:04
of
52:04
Texas
52:04
in
52:05
Armageddon,
52:05
is
52:06
just
52:06
ridiculously
52:07
large.
52:08
The
52:08
largest
52:08
known
52:08
potentially
52:09
hazardous
52:10
asteroid
52:11
is
52:11
533191999
52:13
JM8,
52:15
which
52:15
is
52:15
only
52:16
7
52:16
kilometers
52:17
in
52:17
diameter.
52:18
The
52:18
asteroid
52:19
that
52:19
wiped
52:19
out
52:19
the
52:20
dinosaurs
52:20
was
52:21
150
52:22
times
52:22
smaller
52:23
than
52:24
the
52:24
asteroid
52:25
in
52:25
Armageddon.
52:26
It's
52:27
so
52:27
scientifically
52:28
inaccurate
52:29
that
52:29
reportedly
52:30
NASA
52:30
shows
52:31
Armageddon
52:31
to
52:32
its
52:32
management
52:32

that

Armageddon
52:58
was
52:58
the

52:58
which

of

53:13
Armageddon
53:14
is
53:14
the
53:14
American
53:15
exceptionalism
53:16
movie
53:16
where

worker
53:19
can
53:19
save
53:20
the
53:20
world.
53:20
In
53:21
an
53:21
era
53:21
where
53:21
tough
53:22
guy
53:22
leading
53:22
men
53:22
with
53:23
the
53:23
norm
53:23
and
53:24
could
53:24
open
53:24
a
53:24
movie
53:25
on
53:25
their
53:25
name
53:25
alone.
53:26
Bruce
53:26
Willis
53:27
built
53:27
his
53:27
career
53:28
on
53:28
being
53:29
the
53:29
everyman
53:29
hero.
53:30
Strong
53:31
and
53:31
capable,
53:32
but
53:32
vulnerable
53:32
and
53:33
emotionally
53:33
resonant.
53:34
But
53:35
you
53:35
can
53:35
eschew
53:35
scientific
53:36
accuracy
53:37
when
53:37
your
53:37
movie
53:37
is
53:38
literally
53:38
all
53:38
about
53:39
how
53:39
kick
53:39
ass
53:39
it
53:40
is
53:40
to
53:40
be
53:40
a
53:41
working
53:41
man
53:41
in
53:41
America.
53:42
Even
53:43
if
53:43
one
53:43
of
53:43
your
53:43
member
53:44
literally
53:44
admits
53:45
to
53:45
being
53:45
a
53:45
statutory
53:46
rapist.
53:47
It's
53:47
all
53:47
good
53:47
though.
53:48
This
53:48
is
53:48
boys
53:49
will
53:49
be
53:49
boys
53:49
mentality.
53:51
They
53:51
have
53:51
18
53:51
days
53:52
to
53:52
save
53:52
the
53:52
world
53:53
and
53:53
they're
53:54
gonna
53:54
drill
53:54
baby,
53:55
drill.
53:56
Are
53:56
we
53:57
sure
53:57
Donald
53:57
Trump
53:58
didn't
53:58
write
53:59
this
53:59
script?
54:00
Michael
54:01
Bay
54:01
is
54:02
a
54:02
big
54:02
kid
54:02
with
54:02
all
54:03
these
54:03
toys
54:03
and
54:03
so
54:04
this
54:04
is
54:04
just
54:04
a
54:04
team
54:05
of
54:05
big
54:05
kids
54:06
with
54:06
their
54:06
big
54:06
toys.
54:07
Deep
54:08
Impact
54:08
is
54:08
another
54:09
story
54:09
altogether.
54:10
Bruce,
54:10
Joel
54:11
Rubin
54:11
and
54:11
Michael
54:12
Tolkien's
54:12
script
54:13
is
54:13
a
54:13
somber,
54:14
pragmatic
54:15
take
54:15
on
54:15
the
54:15
risk
54:16
of
54:16
mass
54:16
extinction.
54:17
Events
54:18
take
54:18
place
54:19
over
54:19
a
54:19
year
54:20
and
54:20
the
54:20
public
54:20
is
54:20
shown
54:21
going
54:21
through
54:21
the
54:22
various
54:22
stages
54:23
of
54:23
grief.
54:24
Where
54:24
Armageddon
54:25
shows
54:25
immediate
54:26
chaos
54:26
and
54:26
panic,
54:27
Deep
54:27
Impact
54:28
slowly
54:28
builds
54:29
on
54:29
the
54:29
tension,
54:30
fear
54:30
and
54:31
desire
54:31
for
54:31
someone
54:32
to
54:32
come
54:32
in
54:32
and
54:32
fix
54:33
things.
54:33
Armageddon
54:34
treats
54:35
the
54:35
US
54:35
government
54:36
as
54:36
if
54:36
it
54:36
was
54:36
staffed
54:37
by
54:37
idiots
54:38
waiting
54:38
for
54:38
drillers
54:39
to
54:39
come
54:39
in
54:39
and
54:40
fix
54:40
things.
54:41
In
54:41
Armageddon,
54:42
when
54:42
asked
54:42
why
54:43
NASA
54:43
didn't
54:44
find
54:44
the
54:44
asteroid
54:44
earlier,
54:45
the
54:46
response
54:46
is
54:47
it's
54:47
a
54:47
big
54:47
effing
54:48
sky.
54:49
As
54:49
if
54:49
we
54:49
only
54:49
ever
54:50
monitor
54:50
a
54:50
bit
54:51
of
54:51
it.
54:51
Deep
54:52
Impact's
54:52
strength
54:53
is
54:53
found
54:53
in
54:54
its
54:54
government,
54:55
particularly
54:55
Morgan
54:56
Freeman's
54:56
President
54:57
Beck,
54:57
who
54:58
actually
54:58
tries
54:58
to
54:59
act
54:59
in
54:59
the
54:59
best
55:00
interest
55:00
of
55:00
the
55:00
public.
55:01
Deep
55:02
Impact
55:02
depicts
55:03
a
55:03
world
55:03
just
55:04
like
55:04
our
55:04
own,
55:04
where
55:05
people
55:05
aren't
55:05
always
55:06
kind,
55:06
but
55:07
they
55:07
can
55:07
show
55:07
off
55:07
their
55:08
pure
55:08
humanity
55:09
when
55:09
put
55:09
to
55:09
the
55:09
test.
55:10
When
55:11
Harry
55:11
sacrifices
55:12
himself
55:12
in
55:12
Armageddon
55:13
and
55:13
he
55:13
does
55:13
it
55:14
to
55:14
benefit
55:14
his
55:15
daughter
55:15
more
55:16
than
55:16
humanity
55:17
itself,
55:17
it's
55:18
just
55:18
a
55:18
happy
55:18
byproduct
55:19
that
55:19
he
55:19
also
55:20
saves
55:20
the
55:20
world.
55:21
And
55:22
maybe
55:22
Deep
55:22
Impact's
55:23
earnest
55:23
attempt
55:24
to
55:24
give
55:24
us
55:24
an
55:24
authentic,
55:25
scientifically
55:26
accurate
55:27
ish
55:27
depiction
55:28
of
55:28
a
55:28
world
55:28
ending
55:29
event
55:29
was
55:30
its
55:30
downfall.
55:31
It's
55:31
the
55:31
better
55:32
movie,
55:32
but
55:33
it's
55:33
not
55:33
the
55:34
better
55:34
experience.
55:35
Death
55:36
is
55:36
treated
55:37
as
55:37
death
55:37
should
55:37
be,
55:38
with
55:38
existential
55:39
dread
55:40
and
55:40
terror.
55:41
People
55:41
die
55:41
in
55:41
Armageddon,
55:42
but
55:43
it's
55:43
with
55:43
much
55:44
less
55:44
emotional
55:45
resonance.
55:46
Which
55:46
do
55:47
I
55:47
prefer?
55:48
It's
55:48
a
55:48
really
55:48
tough
55:49
question
55:49
because
55:49
I
55:49
like
55:50
both
55:50
of
55:50
them.
55:50
I
55:51
think
55:51
Deep
55:51
Impact
55:52
is
55:52
better
55:52
marginally,
55:53
but
55:53
Armageddon
55:54
is
55:55
slightly
55:55
more
55:55
of
55:55
a
55:55
fun
55:56
watch.
55:56
It's
55:57
a
55:57
typical
55:57
Bay
55:58
quick
55:58
edit,
55:58
big
55:59
bad
55:59
boom,
56:00
and
56:00
it's
56:00
more
56:00
memorable.
56:01
And
56:01
maybe
56:02
after
56:02
Covid
56:02
and
56:03
seeing
56:03
how
56:04
we
56:04
reacted
56:05
to
56:05
a
56:05
global
56:05
pandemic,
56:06
maybe
56:06
Deep
56:07
Impact
56:07
makes
56:07
us
56:08
realise
56:08
that
56:08
if
56:08
this
56:09
were
56:09
to
56:09
ever
56:09
happen,
56:10
there
56:10
would
56:10
quickly
56:11
be
56:11
the
56:11
haves
56:11
and
56:12
the
56:12
have
56:12
nots
56:12
and
56:13
those
56:13
caves
56:14
would
56:14
just
56:14
be
56:14
full
56:15
of
56:15
billionaires
56:16
hoarding
56:16
toilet
56:17
paper.
56:18
Really
56:18
though,
56:19
the
56:19
best
56:19
thing
56:19
to
56:20
come
56:20
out
56:20
of
56:20
this
56:20
pairing
56:21
is
56:21
I
56:22
Don't
56:22
Want
56:22
to
56:22
Miss
56:22
A
56:22
Thing,
56:23
which
56:23
was
56:23
one
56:23
of
56:23
my
56:24
favourite
56:24
songs
56:24
in
56:25
1998.
56:26
I
56:26
remember
56:26
buying
56:26
it
56:27
on
56:27
CD
56:27
single
56:28
and
56:28
if
56:28
we
56:28
didn't
56:29
have
56:29
Armageddon
56:30
copying
56:30
Deep
56:30
Impact
56:31
in
56:31
the
56:31
first
56:31
place,
56:32
we
56:32
would
56:32
never
56:33
have
56:33
had
56:33
Aerosmith
56:34
come
56:34
in
56:34
to
56:34
sing
56:35
the
56:35
theme
56:35
tune.
56:36
Now
56:37
where's
56:37
Diane
56:38
Warren's
56:38
Oscar?
56:40
17
56:40
nominations
56:41
and
56:41
not
56:42
a
56:42
single
56:42
win,
56:43
not
56:43
even
56:44
for
56:44
this
56:44
banger.
56:46
Thank
56:46
you
56:46
for
56:47
listening.
56:47
As
56:47
always,
56:47
I
56:48
would
56:48
love
56:48
to
56:48
hear
56:48
your
56:48
thoughts
56:49
on
56:49
Deep
56:49
Impact
56:50
or
56:50
Armageddon.
56:51
And
56:51
thank
56:52
you
56:52
for
56:52
your
56:52
continued
56:53
support
56:53
of
56:53
this
56:54
podcast.
56:55
The
56:55
next
56:56
episode
56:56
of
56:57
this
56:57
podcast
56:57
is
56:58
not
56:59
another
57:00
epic
57:00
versus
57:01
World
57:01
ending
57:02
event
57:03
Double
57:03
of
57:03
Movies.
57:04
I've
57:05
done
57:05
two
57:05
episodes
57:06
like
57:06
that
57:06
and
57:07
it's
57:07
hard
57:08
work
57:08
doing
57:08
an
57:08
episode
57:09
on
57:09
two
57:09
movies,
57:10
especially
57:10
when
57:11
there's
57:11
so
57:11
much
57:11
to
57:12
say
57:12
about
57:12
their
57:13
productions.
57:14
However,
57:14
I
57:15
thought
57:15
it
57:15
would
57:15
be
57:16
nice
57:16
to
57:16
go
57:16
back
57:17
to
57:17
something
57:18
a
57:18
little
57:18
bit
57:18
more
57:19
romantic
57:20
and
57:20
a
57:20
little
57:20
bit
57:20
more
57:21
period.
57:22
And
57:22
being
57:23
truthful,
57:24
originally
57:25
this
57:25
month
57:26
I
57:26
was
57:26
going
57:26
to
57:27
do
57:27
some
57:28
Disney
57:28
live
57:28
action
57:29
remakes
57:29
and
57:30
I
57:30
had
57:30
a
57:30
plan
57:31
of
57:31
the
57:31
Disney
57:31
live
57:32
action
57:32
remakes
57:32
that
57:33
I
57:33
wanted
57:33
to
57:33
do
57:34
and
57:34
I
57:34
actually
57:34
ended
57:35
up
57:35
talking
57:35
myself
57:36
out
57:36
of
57:36
Disney
57:37
live
57:37
action
57:38
remakes
57:39
because
57:40
most
57:40
of
57:40
them
57:40
I
57:40
don't
57:41
actually
57:41
really
57:41
like
57:41
all
57:42
that
57:42
much.
57:42
But
57:43
the
57:43
one
57:43
that
57:43
I
57:43
really
57:44
wanted
57:44
to
57:44
do
57:44
was
57:45
Cinderella
57:46
and
57:46
then
57:47
I
57:47
thought,
57:47
oh,
57:48
it'd
57:48
be
57:48
so
57:48
much
57:48
fun
57:49
to
57:49
do
57:50
an
57:50
episode
57:50
on
57:51
Cinderella
57:51
and
57:52
an
57:52
episode
57:52
on
57:53
Ever
57:53
after,
57:53
which
57:54
is
57:54
my
57:54
personal
57:55
favorite
57:55
Cinderella
57:56
movie.
57:57
And
57:58
then
57:58
I
57:58
had
57:58
this
57:59
idea
57:59
of
57:59
these
58:00
double
58:00
episodes
58:01
with
58:01
these
58:01
twin
58:02
films
58:02
and
58:02
I
58:03
was
58:03
like,
58:03
I
58:04
don't
58:04
feel
58:04
like
58:04
I
58:04
can
58:04
do
58:05
two
58:06
episodes
58:06
on
58:06
twin
58:07
films
58:07
and
58:07
then
58:07
two
58:08
episodes
58:08
on
58:09
Cinderella
58:09
movies.
58:11
So
58:11
I
58:11
ended
58:12
up
58:12
this
58:12
is
58:12
a
58:12
really
58:13
long
58:13
winded
58:13
way
58:13
of
58:14
saying
58:14
that
58:15
I
58:15
the
58:15
next
58:16
episode
58:16
is
58:16
Ever
58:16
after
58:17
because
58:17
it's
58:18
my
58:18
favourite
58:18
Cinderella
58:19
movie
58:20
and
58:21
I
58:21
think
58:21
it's
58:22
just
58:22
such
58:22
a
58:22
wonderfully
58:23
brilliant
58:24
way
58:25
to
58:25
tell
58:25
the
58:25
Cinderella
58:26
story
58:27
by
58:27
removing
58:28
the
58:28
supernatural
58:29
elements
58:29
of
58:29
the
58:30
story
58:30
and
58:30
basically
58:31
treating
58:31
it
58:31
as
58:32
historical
58:32
fiction
58:33
and
58:33
setting
58:33
it
58:33
in
58:34
Renaissance
58:34
era
58:35
France
58:36
is
58:36
also
58:36
one
58:37
of
58:37
my
58:37
favourite
58:37
Drew
58:37
Barrymore
58:38
performances
58:38
as
58:39
well.
58:39
So
58:40
complete
58:40
tonal
58:40
Whiplash.
58:41
Just
58:42
like
58:42
something
58:42
Michael
58:43
Bay
58:43
would
58:43
do
58:43
in
58:43
one
58:43
of
58:44
his
58:44
movies.
58:44
I
58:45
am
58:45
tonally
58:45
whiplashing
58:46
from
58:47
the
58:47
end
58:47
of
58:48
the
58:48
world
58:49
to
58:49
Ever
58:49
After
58:50
A
58:50
Cinderella
58:51
Story.
58:51
So
58:52
join
58:52
me
58:52
next
58:53
episode
58:53
for
58:53
the
58:54
history
58:54
and
58:54
legacy
58:55
of
58:55
Ever
58:56
After.
