A kid in a red hoodie, a flying bike, and an alien pointing, repeating, “Phone home.” Forty years later, even just these three images conjure up shots from the instantly recognizable, ‘E.T.’ This week, Sophia and Nick celebrate this successful film’s anniversary and consider why, as one of Steven Spielberg’s most successful films, it deserves to be called an enduring classic. After discussing the history behind production, what makes the movie special to them, and some favorite scenes and performances, they debate if its performance at The Oscars should have gone differently, including any snubs they think it should have received (29:29).
