Kyle Mooney still vividly remembers New Years Eve 1999.
At age 15 he was sitting on his couch with a friend watching MTV and waiting (hoping?)
for the world to end.
Cut to 25 years later, and Mooney is finally getting the chance to set things right.
There Martells nebbish hero might finally kiss the girl of his dreams (Rachel Zegler).
As depicted in the movie, this Armageddon is both incredibly bloody and wickedly funny.
Take for example Rachel Zegler.
It wasnt something that my parents talked about.
No one had really briefed me on it.
Yet when the script came along, she found herself diving to the strangest corners of the internet.
While Y2K was already a historical obscurity by the tail-end of the 2000s, its phenomenon was not.
I feel like that was our version of Y2K, Zegler considers.
It was such a weird moment.
And then nothing happened.
I think there is probably a species-wide collective death drive, muses Evan Winter who co-wroteY2Kwith Mooney.
I always feel like Im at the vanguard, Mooney smiles.
Y2K is in theaters now.
