They're advertising the shit out of this upcoming movie. From the excruciatingly violent D-Day landing scenes in Saving Private Ryan to a movie about the agony of................weather reports?


Pressure, new movie historical thriller chronicles the agonizing 72 hours leading up to the Normandy invasion. The plot centers on the massive logistical and psychological burden of delivering "history's most consequential weather report".

Give me a parody using today's breathless TV technical brag weather emergency forecasts that disrupt regular TV programming. This time from the standpoint of Allied forces and Germany during the lead up to D-Day.


“We interrupt regular programming for this developing weather emergency…”
