# Episode #459 – War of the Worlds (2025)

It’s rare that a movie gets embraced as a new classic in badness as quickly as Amazon’s [War of the Worlds](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13186306/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_war%2520of%2520t), but hey — they’re known for their fast delivery. Maybe they’re just the future of bad movies, “disrupting” the bad movie space with their boldly incompetent visions! We discuss the (overwhelmingly listener-requested) new WotW!
