I worked at an IT company and we were overly prepared for this. I worked an overnight emergency shift to be on hand for emergencies; a big nothing happened. We got nice overtime pay and fed so all was good.
I was one month away from turning 12 years old when New Years 2000 hit. The hysteria was real. We lived in the country and my parents had a school bus. They decided to put a generator in the thing and decorate it all to hell with Christmas Lights like the damn Griswold house. They drove around the countryside picking up their friends with no warning. They filled the bus with hillbillies and rednecks and farmers and drove around all night. I think my dad’s reasoning was that if technology failed it didn’t matter because they’d just be on an old school bus packed with booze. My little sister and I on the other hand just wanted to stay home and play PS1. We thought it was super exciting being able to crank the TV volume up loud. Good times. This story is now too long so if you’re still reading, I love you you friggin weirdo.
Some older IT infrastructure, both hardware and software that could have possibly give issues. Those system where updated so nothing could happen. Most systems were running on updated modern hardware, firmware and software. I think ATMs were running Windows 97, 95 or NT so weren't going to have issues.
I'm grateful for the movie, got paid a lot of money to be the "Middle Finger" guy at the end. We shot it over 2 overnights in the Maplewood NJ Era last May. Pretty chill shoot, crew was easy to work with as was cast.
@zachharris3040 It's a fair comparison. It's about loser high school boys trying to get laid. Add in killer robots and killing off the funniest characters and you get Y2K
superbad is my favorite comedy of all time and this is nothing like that. like it’s insulting to put superbad in the same sentence lol.i say respectfully. this is my least favorite movie of the year didn’t laugh once
6:22 Couldn’t agree more, when they killed off the guy from Deadpool and the Stranger Things guy within the span of like two minutes, I was like “Oh God, this is going to suck” lmao.
@@Dontannoyme34894 I thought this movie would have a bad ending, where all the characters die..I feel like that would be better. And only Eli or Laura are alive
Y2k didn't just 'not happen' - it was prevented. A lot of programmers spent a lot of time coming up to the turn of the millennium to make sure the problems were fixed before they happened. It wasn't 'some silly little thing' it was a genuine concern that was ... taken seriously in the computer world and - like many things in the computer world - when things go right, no one notices.
Thank you for getting this off of my chest for me. I was a finance director for a factory and the Y2K problem was hardly delusional. We had to upgrade tons of old equipment for it to *be a nothing*. Jesus I feel old here. 😆
This is what happens when A24 listens to people who complain about them being too artsy. Considering how badly this movie bombed, it's clear those people probably won't show up anyway so why bother trying to appease them?
Ppl complained Because quite a few of their movies like Beau is Afraid, Midsommar, I saw the TV Glow, and Bodies Bodies Bodies blow big time! They got some great ones as well tho like X, Pearl, Talk to Me, Heretic
More like A24 trying to make something cheaply that will bring in money as they've been burning tons of cash and their types of viewers aren't going to the theater en masse anymore. They just didn't have the people to pull it off, so more burned cash
@@StevenE-l9y I didn’t say Y2K was great I’m just sayin that I can totally understand why ppl would complain about some their films. All those movies suck!
I remember the Y2K thing. I pulled my money out of the bank and wouldn't put it back for weeks. I didn't have direct deposit so I still got my checks and cashed them. I didn't have a computer, no computer games, nothing like that. I didn't even have a cell phone at that time. My sister still thinks I was nuts to believe all that. I really want to see this.
@dertodesking8379 It was Treehouseof Horror 10. Disney plus puts all the simpson Halloween episodes in a Playlist in October if you ever want to easily binge them.
Hi Cody, I was 34 on New Yr's Eve 1999, & I went w/my Mom (may she RIP) & an Ex-Bf to Famous Author Jean Auel's Beautiful home (She wrote Clan of the Cave Bear & many other books) on Parrot Mtn in King City, OR for a Big New Yr's Eve Y2K party, as my Mom wrote articles, poems, etc, & she Knew Jean from a writing group. Mom & I wore Fancy dresses (I vaguely recall being a bit Uncomfy), & we ate good buffet food, & I think Glenn & I and Mom danced a bit. We all blew noise makers & there were balloons as we rang in the Year 2000 at Midnite,🎉🥂🎊 & I recall feeling relieved that rite after nothing bad seemed to occur!😊
I was a developer during 1999 and I’ll tell you why chaos didn’t happen - because a lot of people did a lot of work changing A LOT of code to avoid the problem.
@@MisterX867Yes. A lot of banks and other businesses still used old computer systems and those systems weren’t designed for being future proof. It’s estimated that keeping Y2K from “happening” cost a total of $600 Billion worldwide.
thats about what i expected from this flick, as someone who also went through this time period i will check it out when it comes to a streaming service I sub to
Great intro lmao love your channel man !!! But i saw this with werewolves and it was like the most "ok" movie experience i ever had idk how to explain it.
I was still drinking and doing drugs in 99. It was fun. Didn't get sober until 2014. Didn't start feeling better until 2022. I was working in a califor jail. We had like sandbag gun pits on the roof. It was quietest night ever. Saw blink 182 and dropped x.
Y2K is also my generation so it was fun seeing all those things. The cameo was fun even though I didn’t realize who they were at first. I was talking to a friend after about who else we would have liked to see.
I know this flick got bombed by reviewers but....I loved it. It was hilarious and cheesy like Idle Hands. And as someone that was literally a Junior at the same time it hit the nostalgia PERFECTLY
I remember Y2K & I was a scaredy-cat🙀 My husband & I stayed at a older Hotel & felt like we were in the Shining😳 Should have went out & partied like it was 1999! Seems like a fun movie to just go back in that time. Speaking of bugs & viruses, I got a reply from someone pretending to be you asking me to come chat with ya on Telegram. It's deleted now so not sure if you or TH-cam did that but glad it was deleted & just sucks someone doing that to you & and your followers!! Great review, love the dail up😂 & crazy you had that glitch👾
When the trailer dropped for Y2K, I was hyped. Some background info. I am a child of the 90's, born in 1990, grew up in the decade, it is super nostalgic to me. I also love movies like Maximum Overdrive and Virus, Superbad and This is the End, and of course the Treehouse of Horror segment that the movie just straight up lifted the idea from. So I had reasons to be super excited for this. Just got back from the theater and was just disappointed. The movie basically blows its load at the party scene. Probably 90%+ of the violence and kills as well as the movie's best joke all happen at or around this point. What you're left with is a horror comedy that doesn't really deliver on either front for its remaining hour-ish. It starts to drag, it's incredibly dull. It basically lives on its appeal to nostalgia at this point. The practical effects were great, the kills at the party were great, there were a couple genuinely funny moments. But they absolutely fumbled the execution of a great concept. Like, this could have been in my top five for the year if it delivered on what the trailer and poster (seriously, I love that poster with the bloody plug) built my expectations up to be.
I remember hearing about it. I was still in school. My dad was computer programmer. He wasn't alarmed by it. So I guess for me it wasn't really a big deal. But a movie that's more crazy than the frenzy. Sounds funny.
Sounds like a ramped up version of Maximum Overdrive without AC/DC. Y2K was a laugh riot worked at Big 5 a sporting goods company at the time and we couldn't keep camping gear in stock, once New Years hit we were over whelmed with returns of the camping gear 🤣
It was alright. My buddy liked it, Rachel Zegler didn't seem unlikeable, and since I had 0 nostalgic connection to this so I didn't mind the references. Could've been worse
@codyleachYT any chance you would ever do a tier list for “horror movie premises” I imagine the too tier being something like “flawless execution” and one of the lower ones being “axe swing and a miss”
Can't wait for The Kraven The Hunter review, I think this is the final nail/silver bullet for Sony's Spiderman Universe, I still hope we're going to get El Muerto and Hypno Hustler's Films within the Sony Spiderman Universe 1. El Muerto's (The Dead💀) basically a Mexican Luchador Wrestler who's got a Mystical Lucha Libre Mask that gives him superhuman abilities who once fought Spiderman in the comics at a charity wrestling match that went horribly wrong, El Muerto is an absolute obscure spiderman character, the big bad of the film would probably have been El Dorado (The Golden☀️) (a mysterious immortal supernatural golden Luchador Wrestler who's El Muerto's Oppressor and technically his Archenemy who killed El Muerto's Father who was the previous Muerto as a child) 2. Hypno Hustler's an African American criminal/Villain who poses as a musician who has Hypnotic technology built into his guitar who preforms at concerts and small gigs and secretly hypnotizes people into robbing them, I do like his gimmick, I think we'll probably get a Jimi Hendrix sorta vibe with Hypno Hustler but with Hip Hop, Hypno Hustler's one of Marvels most notorious joke villains But the fact Donald Glover is playing him could be interesting but clearly this Attempt to do a Spiderman Cinematic Universe without Spiderman but it's his Villains clearly has been an unmitigated disaster, why have a Spiderman Cinematic Universe without Spiderman there I think Sony will probably end up throwing the towel in, put there hands up and finally hand the Spiderman Rights back to Marvel The Venom Trilogy were a guilty pleasure, Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock and Venom are fun and fan favorites Morbuis was an absolute train wreck, the fact they took Vulture (one of the best Villains from The Marvel Cinematic Universe) away from his universe and displaced/dumped him in other universe within The Multiverse is unforgivable, Morbuis as a character is probably now going to become a laughing stock, Matt Smith as Milo was decent Madame Web.... An Bigger Train Wreck, Madame Webb technically isn't a villain, she's an ally and Mentor, I don't think Dakota Johnson was the Rightfully casted Actress, they should have gotten Meryl Streep for The Role or even Sigourney Weaver, Ezekiel Sims as the Villain (💩), The Spider Girls weren't that interesting, Sidney Sweeney was probably the only reason why folk went and seen it
I’m the opposite… it took like like 15-20 mins to get into the movie… I didn’t think the comedy landed at all in the very beginning… I thought it got funnier as it went along
As a CS prof at the time, (1) Y2K was overblown by the media (surprise, surprise) and work on solutions started in 1995, (2) AI at this time was so limited it was less "intelligent" than an amoeba, and (3) if the experts couldn't "solve the problem", no high school "whiz kid" was going to. Sheesh.
Went and saw the movie yesterday. SAME I didn't hate it, I liked the cast, I liked the idea, but it didn't balance the humor and horror. Felt like 2 separate movies first 30ish mins is a teen rom com then went horror and they literally killed the comedy. The 90's references were SO FORCE FED. At first I was like oh fun then it was just NON STOP for the remainder of that first 30ish minutes. I get it, 90's. VFX were fun, kills were kinda fun. Stoner guy was a total fail for me, kind of an unnecessary character. It IS a movie I can see myself watching again on streaming.
I thought I was going to die when the clock struck 12am and was really angry that it was my senior year and I had done all that school work for no damn reason haha. Alas, I did graduate and I guess maybe doing my Trig homework had benefits.
I think it would have been very manageable back then as someone who was around. The majority of the trouble would have been experienced by corporations and such... However if it happened TODAY, I highly doubt a whole lot of people, especially young people, would have any idea what to do without that life preserver in their pocket.
I said the same thing about the movie killing off the most entertaining characters. They can keep the girl and the main kid alive. Why not keep his friend and the bully alive too instead of the other two?
I couldn't stop thinking about how the girl handed Fred Durst her hat to wear & we were are supposed to forgot that it was covered in porter potty human waste. Poor Fred Durst.
I worked at an IT company and we were overly prepared for this. I worked an overnight emergency shift to be on hand for emergencies; a big nothing happened. We got nice overtime pay and fed so all was good.

In 99 I didn't really know what a computer was
I just noticed that sick ass Nemesis statue. I want one, it's so hard to get good RE merch
I can’t get over how Fred Durst is in TWO A24 films (I Saw The TV Glow, Y2K)
Was it all for the Nookie?
I remember hearing about it. I was still in school. My dad was computer programmer. He wasn't alarmed by it. So I guess for me it wasn't really a big deal. But a movie that's more crazy than the frenzy. Sounds funny.

Her acting was super flat in it too. A young Emma Stone or someone like that would have brought more life to that role.
Haha that Intro was slick as shit!!!
I recall some of the hot stocks in the late 90s were companies that provided Y2K solutions
I was at a Metallica concert New Years Eve 1999. They kicked the lights off for a sec to troll everyone lol

Can't wait for The Kraven The Hunter review, I think this is the final nail/silver bullet for Sony's Spiderman Universe, I still hope we're going to get El Muerto and Hypno Hustler's Films within the Sony Spiderman Universe
1. El Muerto's (The Dead💀) basically a Mexican Luchador Wrestler who's got a Mystical Lucha Libre Mask that gives him superhuman abilities who once fought Spiderman in the comics at a charity wrestling match that went horribly wrong, El Muerto is an absolute obscure spiderman character, the big bad of the film would probably have been El Dorado (The Golden☀️) (a mysterious immortal supernatural golden Luchador Wrestler who's El Muerto's Oppressor and technically his Archenemy who killed El Muerto's Father who was the previous Muerto as a child)
2. Hypno Hustler's an African American criminal/Villain who poses as a musician who has Hypnotic technology built into his guitar who preforms at concerts and small gigs and secretly hypnotizes people into robbing them, I do like his gimmick, I think we'll probably get a Jimi Hendrix sorta vibe with Hypno Hustler but with Hip Hop, Hypno Hustler's one of Marvels most notorious joke villains
But the fact Donald Glover is playing him could be interesting
but clearly this Attempt to do a Spiderman Cinematic Universe without Spiderman but it's his Villains clearly has been an unmitigated disaster, why have a Spiderman Cinematic Universe without Spiderman there
I think Sony will probably end up throwing the towel in, put there hands up and finally hand the Spiderman Rights back to Marvel
The Venom Trilogy were a guilty pleasure, Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock and Venom are fun and fan favorites
Morbuis was an absolute train wreck, the fact they took Vulture (one of the best Villains from The Marvel Cinematic Universe) away from his universe and displaced/dumped him in other universe within The Multiverse is unforgivable, Morbuis as a character is probably now going to become a laughing stock, Matt Smith as Milo was decent
Madame Web.... An Bigger Train Wreck, Madame Webb technically isn't a villain, she's an ally and Mentor, I don't think Dakota Johnson was the Rightfully casted Actress, they should have gotten Meryl Streep for The Role or even Sigourney Weaver, Ezekiel Sims as the Villain (💩), The Spider Girls weren't that interesting, Sidney Sweeney was probably the only reason why folk went and seen it
I can confirm I also had some viruses like that on my computer too.
I’m the opposite… it took like like 15-20 mins to get into the movie… I didn’t think the comedy landed at all in the very beginning… I thought it got funnier as it went along
Some really cool ideas and designs but goddamn it could have been a HOMERUN
I was 18 on y2k.. great times
6:40
"There's a whole barrel of laughs just rolling away."
Ahaha I love the way you put that, so funny! 😅
The scariest part of this movie is realizing Y2K occurred 25 years ago already.
I feel like I am someone who isn't affected by the passage of time because I was already aware of how long it had been.
I remember my parents buying lots of water at that time
You nailed it. I would have been happier following any other group of characters than the ones we were stuck with
One of A24s first movies was Tusk. Let that sink in
I liked this movie it was what I expected it was fun to go back to memory lane. I was in the 6th grade in 2000.

Went and saw the movie yesterday. SAME I didn't hate it, I liked the cast, I liked the idea, but it didn't balance the humor and horror. Felt like 2 separate movies first 30ish mins is a teen rom com then went horror and they literally killed the comedy. The 90's references were SO FORCE FED. At first I was like oh fun then it was just NON STOP for the remainder of that first 30ish minutes. I get it, 90's. VFX were fun, kills were kinda fun. Stoner guy was a total fail for me, kind of an unnecessary character. It IS a movie I can see myself watching again on streaming.
The sound at the beginning....America Online vibes
Please do a final destination review series!
Perfect lead in! Lol
I thought I was going to die when the clock struck 12am and was really angry that it was my senior year and I had done all that school work for no damn reason haha. Alas, I did graduate and I guess maybe doing my Trig homework had benefits.
dexter original sin ep.1 review pls
I feel so old. I was 19 at a hotel party and we got kicked out at 12:01am because we destroyed the hotel room.
Oh boy that's some rock star stuff I was 13 going on 14
I think it would have been very manageable back then as someone who was around. The majority of the trouble would have been experienced by corporations and such... However if it happened TODAY, I highly doubt a whole lot of people, especially young people, would have any idea what to do without that life preserver in their pocket.
Lmao that intro was nice
I said the same thing about the movie killing off the most entertaining characters. They can keep the girl and the main kid alive. Why not keep his friend and the bully alive too instead of the other two?
I remember this well. I mocked people relentlessly. “Oh my god! We might be thrown all the way back to…1975? Whatever will we do?!?”
All they needed to do was arm themselves with super soakers 🤣
When Eduardo Franco died I died a little inside 😢
The premise kinda sounds like Maximum Overdrive with some Terminator peppered in.
This movie looks like it was made for the CW channel.
could you do a ranking video on some popular killers by their chances of surviving Dexter Morgan
I couldn't stop thinking about how the girl handed Fred Durst her hat to wear & we were are supposed to forgot that it was covered in porter potty human waste. Poor Fred Durst.
“we were are supposed to forgot”
“porter potty”
Which is better FREDDYS DEAD or JEEPERS CREEPERS REBORN??
Do you actually play a Telecaster or is that just for the logo? I always wondered this
I spent Y2K at a rave in the arena the L.A. Clippers play in
Lol, don't be like Blumhouse. I still have hope for them.
It was a bug, not a virus. Sorry Cody. :P
Glitch
Agreed. Very fun movie that is full of issues. Totally worth watching, in my opinion.
Spot on review
