While Rocco is away, Alex and Matt will play... with their little alien pal from Brodo Asogi! E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial has been delighting adults and terrifying children for 40 years now, becoming an instant blockbuster, then an icon for Spielberg's company Amblin, an Easter egg in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and eventually a punchline in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. But we think this lil guy deserves so much more! After all, E.T. is quite possibly Steven Spielberg's best and most personal work to date.

It's a new mini-marathon, folks! This summer, we're gettin' in the ring with Steven for the SPIELBERG SUMMER SLAM! We're hitting up his incredible run of blockbusters from the genre-defining JAWS (1975) up through his hand-wave screen technology-introducing MINORITY REPORT (2002)!

The NeverEnding Movie Marathon is a weekly podcastic celebration of cinema. Dive deep into fan-favorite films (#NoStinkers!), thematically curated to enhance your movie viewing by hosts Matt Detisch, Alex Logan, and Michael Rocco.
