Kyle Mooney, best known for his quirky humor on “Saturday Night Live,” will release his debut feature film, “Y2K,” in theatres on December 6. This disaster comedy promises a combination of nostalgia and anarchy set against the backdrop of 1999’s millennium bug, which had everyone on edge.
Y2K Movie Synopsis
“Y2K,” a disaster comedy directed by Kyle Mooney, takes audiences back to the turn of the millennium with a hilarious and apocalyptic twist. Set on New Year’s Eve 1999, the film follows two high school juniors who crash a party, only to face deadly chaos as the Y2K bug turns everyday technology into homicidal machines.
The trailer, released by A24, gives a glimpse of the madness. What begins as a typical teen comedy quickly escalates into a nightmare when a Tamagotchi turns violent, a VHS player attacks and a toy jeep catches fire. The film combines horror with humor, all set to a soundtrack that screams the late ’90s, including Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping.”
The cast includes rising stars like Rachel Zegler, Jaeden Martell, and Julian Dennison. Plus, look out for appearances by musicians The Kid Laroi and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit fame, adding to the film’s authentic late ’90s vibe.
“Y2K” is shaping to be one of the year’s most unique comedies. With its mix of nostalgia, humor, and horror, it’s a film that both millennials and Gen Z can enjoy.
