BEFORE WE BEGIN – the best way to enjoy today's stupidity is in the form of video, which as a special thank you to all of you for another great year, I have edited together and made FREE at patreon.com/funeralkazoo. No strings attached. Just a gift to you all, with hopes for happy holidays and a fantastic new year. –––––You ever watch a big, blockbuster sci-fi action adventure movie that turns out to be so bereft of technical and scientific merit or accuracy that you almost start to like it? Me neither! On today’s very special Christmas Disaster Moviesode: we’ll start by joining the shortest, worst, and probably my personal favourite business presentation of all time; we’ll learn how the US government tried to spite it’s enemies by giving the planet the Alderaan treatment, twice; and we’ll meet the man tasked with fixing all this, and saving Earth, and everything on it, but who doesn’t even know how to put on a coat.Welcome to the return of the disaster moviesode! We haven’t done this in a while, but our last episode on Michael Bay's 1998 shlocktacular Armageddon was so popular, there was no way we weren’t coming back to this. I promise if I win the lotto over the holidays, I’ll make moviesodes a regular thing thing.Today’s story, currently sits at 34% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is a film that critics called “a modestly fun exercise in disappointment”, and “as aggressively loud and obnoxious as it is tiresomely stupid”. It's 2 hours and 15 minutes, which I sat through so you didn’t have to… it is my distinct pleasure to bring you this very special presentation, the 2003 Aaron Eckhart disaster masterpiece, The Core, made free to one-and-all here on Patreon as a thank you for another great year. Grab your popcorn and your safety glasses and kick your kids out of the room because otherwise this is going to make them stupider, and let’s begin.–––––THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone. I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.
