Today we explore why Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day did not work for us, from its messy sci-fi/spy-thriller structure to its underdeveloped appeals to empathy and unity. We talk through the film’s strongest moments, Emily Blunt’s performance, its connections to Close Encounters, E.T., Minority Report, Signs, and Arrival, and why its “just listen to each other” message feels too thin for the themes it gestures toward.
You can also sign up for our Patreon as a free member below to listen to free episodes on two of Spielberg’s greatest films: Jaws and Jurassic Park.
