  • We go down a rabbit hole with Spielbergian Suburbia and hyperreal nostalgia
  • We've got a live tasting of Reese's Pieces by Liam and Georgia who've never had it before
  • We're going for it again with Guinness Coffee Beer 2.0
  • We talk about a cameo that almost happened
  • We talk about the ending that initially was supposed to happen
  • We gush about if this is one of the best scores ever written
  • How the link between Elliott and E.T. is supposed to work
  • Liam's got some severe Mandela effect going on
  • Whether or not E.T. is the Best Film Ever.
