What would you do if you were thrust into a catastrophic global war against merciless and horrific aliens? If you’re anything like most people, probably shit your pants and hide in a corner hoping for a miracle. Amazon Prime Video’s new movie The Tomorrow War seeks to test that theory by throwing Chris Pratt, Veep’s Sam Richardson, 24's Mary Lynn Rajskub, and Doughboys’ Mike Mitchell, among others, into the stew as Earth faces almost certain destruction.

What would Richardson himself do in that situation? As he tells The A.V. Club in the video below:

I would probably try to nervously cheer myself up by doing a couple of little jokes to myself. I would poo and pee myself, and legit you’d probably hear me say ‘Are you sure?’ after every command. Like, “Let’s go over here!” “Are you sure?” I wouldn’t do well. That’s the bottom line.

Richardson also has an interesting choice for his last meal on Earth: human flesh, because he says “I’ve just got to know.” If he was forced to choose a more pedestrian option, though, he says he’d opt for a combination he calls “land, sea, and sky,” or a combination of roasted duck, prime rib or a filet, and a lobster tail. He admits he also sees the appeal of a whole bunch of Detroit style pizza, saying “you’d go quicker that way.”

The Tomorrow War is available to stream now on Amazon Prime Video. You can read our review of that movie here. Richardson also stars along Milana Vayntrub and Michaela Watkins in the new film Werewolves Within, a movie that our review calls a “goofy, lycanthropic spin on the whodunit.” That movie is in theaters now and available to stream everywhere.

    My last meal would be Pop Rocks and Pepsi. I’ll decide how I go out, thank you very much!

    this was one of the dumber time-travel movies of recent memory.

      I had an edible a while back so following this pitch wasn’t easy. It is the most entertaining thing I have seen in months, and maybe it will help me appreciate what is most certainly a silly summer movie.

        Oh, don’t get me wrong, I watched from beginning to end and was entertained. But that doesn’t change the fact that it was a silly plot with a lot of holes in it. Also, it had the worst Chris in it.

    Fuck you, Harley Jarvis!

    Having so much trouble bring myself to check this out. The premise is so stupid on its surface. The future has time-travel and uses it for foot-soldiers? Writers seem to be lacking imagination in Hollywood. /shocker

      It’s a pretty nice and entertaining action movie.
      Definitely not the smartest out there, but if you have the ability to suspend disbelief for movies (or, you know, if you have some weed around ^^) it’s great 🙂

    Not surprising, he did need to recruit an elderly victorian man to help him fight Skeletrix and his army of Bonies.
