We're All Gonna Die explores a high-concept sci-fi premise to depict a world of systemic upheaval. The film's strength lies in its diverse casting and its potential to critique traditional American structures through a speculative lens. However, the narrative currently lacks specific details about LGBTQ+ identities and disability representation. The focus remains on the central journey and the disruption caused by the extraterrestrial 'Spike'. Ultimately, the film prioritizes character-driven social critique over traditional institutionalist ideals, offering a meaningful, though somewhat undefined, level of representation.
Category Breakdown
The film does not include explicit representations of LGBTQ+ identities or relationships that go beyond the assumption that everyone is straight. The plot revolves around a transactional partnership between two strangers, and there is no indication of queer subtext.
The story centers on a beekeeper and a wanderer. Although specific gender power dynamics are not explicitly detailed, the casting of Ashly Burch suggests the potential for strong female characters within this sci-fi setting.
The film features a diverse cast, including actors of various ethnicities such as Jordan Rodrigues and Regina McKee Redwing. This mix of backgrounds indicates a move towards more inclusive casting practices.
The narrative critiques Western institutions by highlighting the disruption of property and social norms. The road trip structure serves as a vehicle for examining the impact of capitalism and traditional societal structures.
There is no clear depiction of physical or neurodivergent disabilities in the film. Themes of grief are present but do not specifically address disability representation.

Official Synopsis
In the near future, the "Spike," a 10,000 mile tall indestructible floating alien tentacle materializes in Earth's upper atmosphere, causing everybody to freak out. By now, though, everyone's gotten used to it. But after the Spike teleports a struggling beekeeper's beehives and a grieving wanderer's prized car halfway across the country, these two strangers must join together and take a dangerous roadtrip across a changed (but recognizable) America to get their stuff back.
