In this episode, we take flight with Steven Spielberg's 1982 imaginative tale E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. We wander like Elliott into the cornfields for first alien contact like a special module of Dungeons & Dragons. Stumble upon the rise of Reese's Pieces, a trio of backdoor sequels, and confront the idea of an alien &  alienation.

You'll learn about the behind the scenes how two very different story ideas to create Steven Spielberg's most personal project yet. We also take a look at the financials, award buzz, and our own personal rankings of enjoyment.
