Kyle Mooney Reveals How ‘Y2K’ Pulled Off Its Most Outrageous Moments, From That ‘Thong Song’ Performance to Fred Durst’s Epic Sing-Along
Kyle Mooney, Jaeden Martell and Julian Dennison break down the most outrageous moments from their film 'Y2K.'
The A24 horror-comedy, co-written by Mooney (who also stars) and Evan Winter, follows a pair of unpopular teens who crash a New Years Eve party in 1999, only to fight for their lives as the world’s electronics come alive for a murderous (and gory) uprising. Stars Jaeden Martell and Julian Dennison, both born after the dawn of the new millennium, had to be brought up to speed on some of the more in-the-weeds references to life in the 1990s, like the infamous “Herbal Essences Girl” and Tae-Bo workout tapes. Despite boasting a cast of mostly Gen Z-ers including Rachel Zegler, Lachlan Watson and Daniel Zolghadri, the film gets its depiction of the Y2K era just right — with some help from ’90s icon Fred Durst, who plays himself.
