What if Steven Spielberg's latest UFO movie is closer to reality than science fiction?
In this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers welcomes author and film historian Max Evry (author of the forthcoming book Stranded on Earth: How Night Skies Became E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) to explore Spielberg's highly anticipated new film, Disclosure Day, and its connections to some of the director's most iconic works, including Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and War of the Worlds.
The conversation dives into the movie's nods to real UFO experiencer accounts, how Spielberg's fascination with extraterrestrial contact has evolved across decades of filmmaking, and why these stories continue to resonate with audiences today.
