Kyle Mooney Still Can’t Believe He’s the First Person to Come Up with a Y2K Disaster Movie

Kyle Mooney talks bringing 1999 nostalgia to the big screen with an apocalyptic twist in 'Y2K.'

In Mooney’s world, the dawn of the year 2000 doesn’t just stop computers from working — it turns every machine on the planet into a sentient creature dead set on destroying humanity as we know it. But history chooses unlikely heroes, and when a robot apocalypse descends upon their party, they’re forced to team up with Laura (Rachel Zegler), the most popular girl at school and a computer whiz in her own right, to save what’s left of the world. He brought his friend Evan Winter on board as a co-writer, and the two soon turned the sci-fi premise into a vessel for every film and musician from their childhoods that they felt like revisiting.
