A24's 'Y2K' has teens battling old-school computers and bloodthirsty Tamagotchis
Once upon a time in the tail-end of the last century, there was something called the Y2K bug. This bit of computer code was supposed to herald a global robot apocalypse at the stroke of midnight when 1999 became the year 2000 because of, uh, clock dates or something. The film imagines a New Year's Eve of 1999 in which the computers really did turn on humanity. It's written and directed by SNL alum Kyle Mooney, who made the fantastic and underrated Brigsby Bear. As you can see from the trailer, it's a 1990s teen party comedy, like Can't Hardly Wait, but also an apocalyptic horror film.
