Disaster Month continues with The Day After Tomorrow, where climate change hits fast, Jake Gyllenhaal hides in a library, and Dennis Quaid walks to New York in a blizzard. It's Roland Emmerich doing what he does best: wrecking the world with special effects and barely explaining the science.

In this episode, we break down the movie’s wild logic, those infamous CGI wolves, and how this frozen mess somehow made half a billion dollars. Is it a misunderstood warning—or just big dumb fun? We’ve got thoughts. Plus: Letterboxd chaos, peak 2000s vibes, and our final star ratings.
