As a movie reviewer who grew up in the ’90s and can still remember the dread of Y2K looming over our heads, I must say Kyle Mooney and A24 have truly captured that nostalgic anxiety in their upcoming horror comedy, Y2K. The short video “life in 99” is a hilarious trip down memory lane, showcasing Mooney’s comedic genius as he dons his old skater gear to fit right in today’s fashion trends.
Kyle Mooney is strongly committing to setting his upcoming horror comedy, titled “Y2K”, in the year 1999. Prior to taking filmgoers back to the era of dial-up internet and widespread technological fears through his A24 production, he’s taken a journey himself to the year ’99 with a new short film titled “life in 99”. This short has been shared on his personal YouTube channel, where his last video was posted over seven years ago. With this recent upload, Mooney has reactivated his old YouTube channel by releasing a five-minute comedy short as a sneak peek for the release of “Y2K”, which he also wrote and directed. If the humor in this latest short is any indication of what fans can expect from his upcoming A24 horror comedy, they’re in store for quite a laugh.
As I eagerly await the flood of reviews for the movie featuring Rachel Zegler, Jaeden Martell, and Julian Dennison, my excitement only grows for this captivating alternate history saga. Mooney is leaving no stone unturned in promoting Y2K, using his signature humor to entice viewers through a hilarious YouTube video. In this promotional clip, Mooney sheds his contemporary smartphone and struts along to ’90s beats, perfectly blending the old skater style with today’s fashion trends – he looks right at home in both eras!
A24 Knows How To Create Serious Vibes
A24 nailed the Y2K aesthetic in the movie’s first trailer, but they didn’t stop there. In anticipation for the film release about a group of high school students dealing with an unforeseen danger, A24 has designed a website that appears to be from the 1990s.
The Y2K website is designed to resemble the classic Windows look from 1999, along with the slow internet connection sound, and even features lush green landscapes. Upon navigating through the timer leading up to the film’s launch and providing your username, users are transported into a detailed recreation of ’90s computers, complete with AOL Instant Messenger and custom away messages. Additionally, there’s a mysterious message hinting at hidden Easter eggs scattered throughout the site.
The site features an app called “CD Burner” that has a playlist from the ’90s known as “Bad@$$ Y2k Mix.” This list can be found easily on Spotify via a provided link. This suggests the movie’s energetic soundtrack. We can’t wait to discover how timeless songs such as “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim and “Freak On a Leash” by Korn will be incorporated in the upcoming film “Y2K, scheduled for release on Dec. 6.
