We're phoning home! This week we're reviewing a Steven Spielberg cultural classic: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). When young Elliott discovers an alien from another planet hiding out in his backyard, he quickly bonds with and comes to adore the lost little creature. ET, as he and his siblings affectionately call him, starts to learn about humanity and in turn teaches the children about his own special abilities. Unfortunately not all good things last forever and ET must return home if he wants himself and Elliott to survive. Throughout this film, we learn the beauty and hardship in letting go of a friend while also cherishing the awesome memories created together. Unfortunately the ET puppet traumatized Steph as a kid, but have we decided it's worth overcoming as adults? Or are we definitely not sharing our reese's pieces with intergalactic stowaways? Let’s find out together!
