Men in Black (1997)

Suit up, grab your neuralyzers, and get ready to revisit one of the coolest, funniest, and most iconic sci-fi films of the ’90s! In this episode, I’m diving deep into Men in Black (1997), the movie that made Will Smith a certified box office king and paired him with the ultimate straight-faced partner, Tommy Lee Jones.

We’ll break down what makes this film still hold up today— from its pitch-perfect casting to the film’s brilliant mix of practical effects, fast-paced storytelling, and jokes that still land decades later. Plus, let’s us not forget, the what ifs! And of course, we’ll talk about that theme song.

So whether you’re an old-school fan or a first-time visitor to the MIB universe, join me as we break it all down and see if this movie still brings the same magic it did in 1997. Just don’t look directly into the red light when we’re done.
