Disclosure Day Review with Drew McWeeny

If you were just telling somebody, "Hey, what'd you think of the movie?" You know, in an elevator and you had three floors to do it, what, what's your, what's your, uh, uh, response?

I would first ask do you like Spielberg alien movies?

Mm-hmm.

Because this is in conversation with everything he's done before.

Hmm.

And I think it is a fascinating capper on a conversation we've been having with him since '77.

Right.

It feels like this is a punctuation mark at the very end of things, like he has really been thinking about how do I wanna leave this? Because I've been talking about this for so long, and the world has changed.

He has watched things change in public, and I feel like this is both a response to real-world stuff that has happened and a summation kind of of his overall work in this area.

Mm-hmm.

Um, it is a fascinating movie.

It feels like a very personal movie.

Um, I love that this is one of the first story by Steven Spielberg films in a long-ass time-

Mm-hmm

... where it started with him.

He just got a hair up his ass and was like, "I'm gonna tell a story.

I got a thing I wanna do," and I, I love that.

I think that's, that is the Spielberg that I am most interested in at this point because we got so few left.

Right.

I want him to be making personal films every time out, even when he's working the blockbuster space, and I feel like this is definitely that.

For sure.

Um, I really enjoyed it.

Uh, I am still chewing on it.

I saw it last night at 10:30.

It's, uh, like 12 hours later basically.
