Phil and Emily continue their Tom Cruise Mini-Series with one of the most intense blockbusters of the 2000s—Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds! 🌍👽 Joining them is journalist and critic Jamelle Bouie (The New York Times), who helps break down how this 2005 sci-fi thriller captured post-9/11 anxieties, redefined the alien invasion genre, and gave us one of Cruise’s most underrated performances.

From its jaw-dropping set pieces and terrifying alien designs to its intimate, boots-on-the-ground storytelling, the trio explores why War of the Worlds still hits hard nearly two decades later. Was it misunderstood at the time? Does it rank among Spielberg’s best? And how does it fit into Cruise’s evolution as an action star?

Buckle up—it’s time to run. 🎧✨
