Stoner disaster-comedy banks on 90s nostalgia

Ah, the good ol’ days. Burning mixtapes on CDs, recording freestyle rap battles on camcorders, messaging your class crush on AOL chat boards. Frosted tips. Home workouts. Nu metal. And who could forget the night the computers reached Singularity, killing and enslaving all of humanity? What a time.answers the question, “What if that computer bug actually unleashes Armageddon at midnight?” Turns out an army of superintelligent desktops wielding power drills and chainsaws hacks us to pieces.

Written by Mooney and Evan Winter and produced by Jonah Hill and Chris Storer . It’s over the top, silly to a fault, and something so unserious as to wonder how – and under what influence – was this made? Now, I must admit: I wasn’t a teenager, or even alive, for the turn of the millennium. But neither were many of this murderer’s row of Gen Z cast members: Rachel Zegler , and The Kid Laroi in his acting debut. While the leads will surely pique the interest of those raised on the Internet, the pop culture references are so niche as to only land with those who remember the pain of forgetting to feed their Tamagotchis.
