A24’s Y2K looks like an apocalyptic rager in first trailer

Y2K leans all the way into its millennial absurdity.

People imagined all sorts of global nightmare scenarios were coming in the months building up to January 1st, 2000, but none of them were quite as absurd as the premise of A24’s new disaster comedy, Y2K from director Kyle Mooney. Though everyone’s heard of the Y2K bug, all Eli (Jawden Martell), Danny (Julian Dennison), and Laura (Rachel Zegler) can really think about is how they might bump into one another at the rager and how the night could change their lives forever. Weirdly, a lot of the madness on display in Y2K ’s trailer is reminiscent of the real panic that drove people to buy up toilet paper and water in bulk fearing that a programming error would topple our technological infrastructure.
