Ep. 135 - Close Encounters of the Third Kind


Listen Later

This week on the podcast, Michael, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo lounge and discuss the complete failure that is ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW and why Disneyworld didn't pursue legal action against this guerilla style horror comedy, Mike finds himself lost in Spike TV's THE MIST aka yet another Stephen King series, the PBS American Experience documentary OKLAHOMA CITY is a harrowing reminder that the wheels of history can still come full circle, Scott hunkers down for a night of rampant crime with THE PURGE (which isn't even a good Purge movie), and much, much more before our featured review of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND from writer/director Steven Spielberg.
