What if the Y2K conspiracy theories ending up being true? That's essentially what A24's Y2Kasks and answers in its nostalgic teen disaster comedy.
If you're craving some Chumbawumba "Tubthumping" and killer Tamagotchis, you've come to the right place. The wild millennium stoner comedy is officially available to stream at home this spring — here's everything you need to know to watch.
Directed by Saturday Night Livealum Kyle Mooney and written by Mooney and Evan Winter, Y2Kfollows two high school besties — Danny (Julian Dennison) and Eli (Jaeden Martell) who aren't exactly in the cool clique. They decide to crash a New Year's Eve house party on the last night of 1999. Unfortunately, Eli's attempts to get his crush Laura's (Rachel Zegler) attention are stifled when the Y2K bug hits at midnight and the technology turns against them. Computers, ceiling fans, microwaves, and even Tamagotchis become weapons, which leads to a midnight massacre.
Check out the full trailer:
"As a first watch, Y2K is a lot of fun. Its teen cast overall has terrific energy, and a supporting cast that includes Alicia Silverstone, Tim Heidecker, and Mooney — as a burnout video store clerk — brings welcomed microdoses of weirdness," Mashable Film Editor Kristy Puchko writes. "The celebration of all things '00s is undeniably charming, even if used superficially. Jokes come fast and frantic, so even if some don't land, there's plenty of laughs to be had."
While the Rotten Tomatoes critic and audience ratings are pretty bleak — just 42 percent and 52 percent, respectively — our reviewer writes that it's a good time, despite falling short of greatness.

A24's new theatrical releases exclusively stream on Max before anywhere else. Thus, Kyle Mooney's disaster comedy will join other recent A24 hits like MaXXXine, Heretic, Queer, and Babygirl.
Max subscriptions start at $9.99 per month, but there are a few different ways to save some money on your plan. Check out the best Max streaming deals below.
Opens in a new window Credit: Max Max (with ads) yearly subscription $99.99 per year (save 16%) While the cheapest monthly Max subscription goes for $9.99 (with ads), an annual subscription brings that cost down to just $8.33 per month. Of course, you'll have to pay for the year up front for $99.99, but it will ultimately end up saving you 16%. You could also just sign up for a single month of service, watch Y2K and whatever else you desire, then cancel before the month ends.
Opens in a new window Credit: Max Max (No Ads) annual subscription $169.99 per year (save 16%) Similarly, you can save an extra 16% by committing to a yearly plan of the Max ad-free tiers, for those who cannot fathom watching with ads. You have two tiers to choose from: Max Ad-Free and Max Ultimate Ad-Free. The basic ad-free tier costs either $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year (about $14.17 per month), while the Ultimate tier costs either $20.99 per month or $209.99 per year (about $17.50 per month).
Note: Both tiers offer an ad-free viewing experience, but the Ultimate tier comes with 4K Ultra HD video quality and Dolby Atmos immersive audio.
Opens in a new window Credit: Cricket / Max Max (with ads) Free for Cricket customers on the $60/month plan Cricket customers on the $60 per month unlimited plan can get Max with ads for free. That's a $99.99 per year value for zero dollars. Just choose Cricket as your provider when logging into Max and enter your credentials to log in. Boom — you're able to watch whatever you want on Max. This is one of your only options to get Max for free in 2025.
Opens in a new window Credit: DoorDash / Max Max (with ads) Free with DashPass annual plan ($8/month) Another way to get Max for free in 2025 is through DoorDash's annual DashPass plan. An annual DashPass membership costs $96 per year ($8 per month) and gets you $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders, plus a Max subscription (with ads). Eligible subscribers must activate their Max subscription in their DoorDash account. While the free deal only applies to the Max plan with ads, you can also choose to upgrade for a discounted rate to eliminate them.
Opens in a new window Credit: Max Max Student $4.99 per month for 12 months College students can sign up for an entire year of Max (with ads) for just $4.99 per month instead of $9.99. That's 50% in savings. Just verify your student status with UNiDAYS to retrieve your unique discount code and drop the price.
Opens in a new window Credit: Disney / Hulu / Max Disney+, Hulu, and Max $16.99 per month (with ads), $29.99 per month (no ads) While it's not the cheapest way to watch Y2Kand other A24 flicks on Max, the Disney+ bundle is honestly one of the best streaming deals around. You'll get Max, Disney+, and Hulu with ads for only $16.99 per month, as opposed to paying for all three separately for a grand total of $25.97. If you choose to go ad-free, it'll cost you $29.99 per month, which is still a steal compared to the usual cost of $48.97. That's up to 38% in savings for access to three full streaming libraries.
