Roland Emmerich will not go quietly into the night. He will not vanish without a fight. So it would be rude not to have him dissect Independence Day: Resurgence for an Empire Podcast spoiler special, wouldn’t it?
Yes, the director’s sequel to 1996’s Independence Day burst into cinemas earlier this month, seeing Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman return alongside a fresh new bunch of young recruits, including Maika Monroe and Liam Hemsworth.
Emmerich popped by to chat to our very own Phil de Semlyen, discussing the film in minute detail and thankfully not leaving the pod booth in a worse state than he found it. (Lack of a green screen may have worked to our advantage there…)
