Podcasts about close encounters

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads look to the skies for Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a film packed with UFO classifications, mysterious lights, mashed potato mountains, musical alien communication and one of cinema's more questionable parenting decisions.Sidey begins by digging into what a “close encounter of the third kind” actually means, using J. Allen Hynek's UFO classification system as a guide. The dads move from first and second kind sightings into the third kind itself, before noting that later fourth and fifth kinds make parts of Spielberg's film feel even stranger in retrospect. From there, the conversation follows the film's global mystery: missing aircraft in the Sonoran Desert, the SS Cotopaxi, Bermuda Triangle mythology, air traffic controllers who definitely do not want to file an official UFO report, and Claude Lacombe's calm international investigation.The episode then turns to Roy Neary, whose roadside encounter with the impossible changes him completely. The dads talk through the power outage, the lights, the shaking truck, the radio interference and the physical burn that marks Roy's experience as more than just a sighting. What follows is one of Spielberg's most famous depictions of obsession, as Roy becomes consumed by an image he cannot explain: first in shaving foam, then in mashed potato, and eventually in the enormous Devil's Tower model that takes over his family home.Barry's abduction also gets plenty of attention, partly because the sequence remains so unsettling and partly because Dan remembers the repeated cry of “Barry!” as one of those film moments that became permanently lodged in family folklore. The dads discuss Spielberg's clever methods for directing such a young child, the way Barry's toys come to life, and the strange mixture of fear and wonder that runs through the whole sequence.As the film moves toward Devil's Tower, the dads dig into the bigger ideas underneath the spectacle. Close Encounters is a film about translation, interpretation and communication: people trying to understand languages, music, symbols, visions and experiences that do not fit ordinary life. Reegs picks up on the repeated non-verbal communication, while the group discuss how the aliens never feel like a straightforward invading force in the Independence Day mould. Spielberg's first contact is eerie and overwhelming, but also curious, musical and strangely hopeful.The final act gives the episode its big Spielberg moment: the government cover story, the fake contamination zone, the secret landing site, the five-note musical conversation, the glass-shattering alien volume and the mothership reveal that still looks astonishing nearly fifty years later. The dads also touch on production trivia, including model details, Easter eggs such as R2-D2, and the famous Spielberg/Lucas percentage swap between Close Encounters and Star Wars.Naturally, the Bad Dads courtroom saves its harshest scrutiny for Roy boarding the alien ship. Is he a terrible dad for abandoning his family, or does his altered mental state earn him some kind of cosmic mitigation? Sidey is ready to place Roy firmly in the Bad Dad category, while Dan offers a partial defence on the grounds that Roy has clearly been changed by forces beyond normal human control. Either way, it leads into a broader discussion of Spielberg's recurring interests in fathers, fragmented families, engineers, artists, music, communication and wonder.The verdict is a unanimous strong recommend. Nearly fifty years on, Close Encounters of the Third Kind still works as spectacle, mystery, family drama, spiritual science fiction and pure Spielberg awe. It is hopeful without being naïve, strange without becoming hostile, and still technically impressive thanks to practical effects, patient build-up and one of cinema's great mothership reveals. Roy may or may not get a full Bad Dad pardon, but the film itself absolutely gets a pass.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

In light of the dismal Disclosure Day (2026), we return to two films that show Spielberg tackling alien visitation (or invasion) stories while at the height of his powers. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and The War of the Worlds (2005) are decades apart, yet united by a single image and devotion to their audiences. The first is as Disneylike as Pinocchio; the second conjures memories of 9/11. Both show domesticity under great strain as families and infrastructures break down; one ends with hope while the other simply stops. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. The War of the Worlds is based on H. G. Wells's 1898 novel, which you can purchase here. Please subscribe to the show and consider leaving us a rating or review.

La colaboración entre John Williams y "The President's Own" United States Marine Band representa la unión de dos de los grandes referentes de la música estadounidense. Fundada en 1798, la banda de los Marines de los Estados Unidos es la formación musical profesional más antigua del país y recibe el sobrenombre de "The President's Own" porque, desde los tiempos de Thomas Jefferson, ha servido como la banda oficial del presidente de los Estados Unidos, participando en ceremonias de Estado, inauguraciones presidenciales y actos oficiales de la Casa Blanca. En este programa es un recopilatorio donde puedes escuchar tres conciertos interpretados en el Kennedy Center en los que Williams ha conducido al "The President's Own".

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads head into deep space for Project Hail Mary — a Ryan Gosling-led Andy Weir adaptation about astrophage, reluctant heroism, alien engineering, musical communication and the most loveable rock-spider in modern sci-fi.What we coveredThe return to Podcast Mountain after a week off, with Sidey explaining why recent recording plans went slightly sideways.Sidey and Reegs seeing The Streets at Alexandra Palace, immediately considering Iceland, and generally having a far better time than Sidey later had in Malta.Malta being very hot, not especially relaxing, and a strong avoid unless you are on the picturesque ferry to Gozo.Family hotel movie nights, including a MonsterVerse run and the crushing parental disappointment of Raiders of the Lost Ark being switched off for being boring.Ryan Gosling news from Comic-Con, including Ghost Rider, Star Wars, and whether anyone can make Ghost Rider look good on screen.Gosling's range: Only God Forgives, Lars and the Real Girl, The Gray Man, blockbuster charm and oddball credibility.Andy Weir, The Martian, and why the dads respond to optimistic science-problem movies where clever people solve practical disasters.The central crisis: astrophage is eating the Sun's energy, reducing solar output and threatening Earth.The Hail Mary mission as humanity's last desperate throw, sent to Tau Ceti because that system appears mysteriously resistant to the astrophage problem.Ryland Grace waking from stasis with no memory, dead crewmates, a HAL-like computer and a beard that suggests deep-space personal care needs work.The flashbacks revealing Grace as a molecular biologist turned school teacher recruited by Eva Stratt to help understand astrophage.The moral ugliness of Grace not volunteering for the suicide mission, then being sedated and sent anyway after the intended crew are killed.The grim Earthside stakes: collapsing sunlight, food-chain panic, frightened children and governments handing Stratt extraordinary power.First contact with Rocky, the engineer from Erid whose own planet is facing the same astrophage disaster.Rocky's musical language, the translation process, and the dads' comparison with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.The two-ship friendship: different atmospheres, pressure barriers, xenonite tunnels and two scientists learning to trust each other through diagrams and experiments.Rocky's look: rock-like, spider-like, toy-like and somehow instantly endearing.The discovery of taumoeba, the organism that eats astrophage and offers a possible solution for both Earth and Erid.Rocky saving Grace at huge personal risk, then Grace choosing to use his remaining fuel to save Rocky when he realises Rocky's ship is in danger.The film's optimistic message: cooperation across species, cultures and worlds is the only thing that saves anyone.Grace ending up on Erid, teaching alien children about Earth, and the dads enjoying the full-circle return to teaching.The reported $200 million budget, worldwide box office heading toward $700 million, UK-built Hail Mary sets, and Gosling's likely “double bubble” as star and producer.Key moments / quotesSidey says “hopes were high for Project Hail Mary” because of the Gosling/Andy Weir pedigree.Dan explains the title through American football: the last desperate throw into the end zone.The dads note that Grace “didn't fucking volunteer”, which makes Earth's plan morally spicy even if the stakes are existential.Rocky's musical tones immediately bring Close Encounters to mind.The group enjoy the idea of a sci-fi film built around “scientist guy figuring shit out”.Cris appreciates that the film is warmer and more colourful than the bleaker spaceship sci-fi he usually struggles with.Sidey reads the Grace/Rocky relationship as a story about different worlds working together on the same problem.Cris highlights the happy ending, the little rock children and the satisfying “don't go back / actually he should go back” emotional turn.Sidey notes the film has done serious box office business against a huge production budget.The final verdict lands simply: “Strong? Strong. Strong. Yeah. Strong.”VerdictThe dads give Project Hail Mary a unanimous strong recommend. They respond to the Andy Weir problem-solving structure, Ryan Gosling's easy likeability, the film's optimistic tone, and especially Rocky — an alien sidekick/friend/co-scientist who turns the film from simple survival story into something warmer and more memorable.It is big-budget, accessible sci-fi with a hopeful streak: funny, emotional, smart enough to feel satisfying, and powered by the very Bad Dads-friendly idea that cooperation beats panic, even when the Sun is being eaten.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

America's First Alien Contact Wasn't Roswell!Six years before Roswell, something came down over Cape Girardeau, Missouri — and the government made sure you never heard about it. This week we sit down with author and researcher Paul Blake Smith to dig into his book The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell: Missouri's 1941 Crash and Cover-Up.Paul walks us through the wreckage, the witnesses, and the powerful names tied to the cover-up — FDR, a young Senator Harry Truman, and even whispers of Einstein. We get into what allegedly happened to the recovered craft and its occupants, why the Freemason connections in the case run so deep, and how MO41 may have quietly set the stage for the country's reaction to Roswell six years later.Paul is the author of eight books, including the bestsellers President Eisenhower's Close Encounters and The Nixon-Gleason Alien Encounter. This is a deep one — bring your tinfoil hat.

Joining me for this episode are Robert Williams and Jacqui Thackway-Winn. Robert and Jacqui were part of a small group of people who in 2023 took part in an experimental magical project at Cley Hill in Wiltshire, England. Cley Hill is perhaps best known in fortean circles for being something of UFO hotspot, most notably ‘The Warminster Thing' in the 1960's. The magical project was part of an attempt by the group to develop a new practice they called ‘Meta Magic' and took place from January to December 2023, finishing on the Winter Solstice. A written record of their experiments, rituals and experiences was kept and has now been published by Liminal Gate Press as a book called The Magical Rites at Cley Hill. In the interview I initially talk with Robert and Jacqui about their backgrounds and how the idea for the yearlong magical project came about. We discuss why they chose Cley Hill, some of the rituals they used and experiences that resulted from that and what the ideas and goals were for Meta Magic. We conclude by talking about The Warminster Thing. You can find out more about Robert, Jacqui and the book at Liminal Gate Press.

Christians calling everything demonic. But what if the real answer is far more complicated?Dr. Jonathan Kendall joins Brandon to explore the growing evidence surrounding UFOs and UAPs while challenging the simplistic explanations often offered from every side of the debate.Together they discuss government evidence, consciousness, high strangeness, extradimensional realities, ancient encounters, quantum physics, biblical worldview, and why the phenomenon may force us to rethink how we understand reality itself.Rather than choosing between "aliens" or "demons," this conversation asks whether we've been asking the wrong questions all along.Amazon - New Bookhttps://x.com/JKendallMDhttps://jonathankendallmd.com/

Paul Blake Smith, Friday, July 24th, 2026, 3 PM ET Topic: The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell: Missouri's 1941 Crash and Cover-up Paul Blake Smith BIO: Paul Blake Smith has completed his latest project, a nonfiction book for Llewellyn Publishing, set for release on Wednesday, July 8th, 2026: The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell: Missouri's 1941 Crash and Cover-up (available for preorder on Amazon). It's all about the shocking yet little-known April 1941 UFO crash outside his hometown of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. This exciting new book will offer some revised and updated information on the amazing, otherworldly saga. Additionally, Paul wrote the recent nonfiction best-sellers President Eisenhower's Close Encounters and The Nixon-Gleason Alien Encounter, both of which are now in the slow process of being turned into future motion pictures. These two Foundations Publishing works were also awarded audio-book status via Tantor.com. Paul was born, raised, and educated in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He was a four-year Mass Communications Major with an English Minor at that river town's Southeast Missouri State University. He still resides in the Show-Me State, now with eight books under his belt and more to come, but no, he's never actually seen a UFO or an ET. Paul can be found on social media, including Facebook, Twitter (“X”), Instagram, Linked-In, Pinterest, and Bluesky. He has been a guest on numerous podcasts and radio shows, including the live, internationally syndicated Coast to Coast A.M. He has also been interviewed by local television news outlets and newspapers. His most recent books can be found on his website, paulblakesmith.com.

Steven Spielberg's long‑standing obsession with extraterrestrials has practically become its own cinematic signature. From the awe‑struck wonder of Close Encounters of the Third Kind to the tender magic of E.T., from the apocalyptic terror of War of the Worlds to the pulpy alien chaos tucked inside Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he's spent decades gazing upward and asking what might be looking back. Now, in 2026, he returns to that cosmic frontier with a new film crafted alongside his longtime collaborator, legendary filmmaker and screenwriter David Koepp.IMDB offers only a single, enigmatic provocation: “If you found out we weren't alone—if someone showed you, proved it to you—would that frighten you?” It's a tease that reveals almost nothing, a whisper of a premise designed to stir curiosity rather than satisfy it. Spielberg has always loved mystery, and here he leans into it fully, letting the question hang in the air like a signal from deep space.What is clear is the strength of the cast. Emily Blunt anchors the film with what early buzz claims may be the most powerful performance of her career. She's joined by Spielberg regulars Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson, along with Josh O'Connor, Wyatt Russell, and Colin Firth—who reportedly devours every moment he's given. With an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has landed as a solid, if not earth‑shattering, box office success in Spielberg's extraterrestrial canon. And now your co‑hosts dive in, exploring the movie's mysteries and debating whether the Grays finally step out of the shadows and into a podcast pick.

Dogman Encounters, Government Silencing, and High Strangeness: Inside Lance Hightower's Monster FilesIn this episode, we sit down with Lance Hightower—renowned cryptozoologist, host of the acclaimed Monster 911 podcast, content creator, and investigator with over a decade in the field. Lance has appeared on Travel Channel's The Alaska Triangle and collaborated with Wild Dream Films in the UK. A former healthcare professional with deep roots as an outdoorsman, hunter, and survivalist, he brings a grounded, compassionate approach to some of the world's most terrifying unexplained encounters.Through his nationwide Creature Report Hotline and Monster 911 (formerly Cryptid Brothers Investigations), Lance has documented thousands of eyewitness reports of Dogman, Bigfoot/Sasquatch, and other high strangeness phenomena from across the US and beyond. Today, he shares some of the most incredible, firsthand accounts from witnesses he's personally interviewed.A disturbing pattern emerges in many Dogman cases: witnesses and researchers are often visited by mysterious “government-type” officials who deliver stark warnings to stop talking about what they've seen. Are these representatives of known government agencies, a shadow government, or something even more unknown? In one chilling account, officials reportedly referred to these creatures as an “asset”—raising profound questions about what that could imply.Lance also opens up about his own extraordinary experiences, including a close encounter with a group of Dogmen and a recent paranormal event while staying in one of the UK's most haunted locations. With his trauma-informed interviewing style, Lance emphasizes support for witnesses, reminding them they are not alone.Whether you're a longtime cryptid enthusiast or new to these mysteries, this episode dives deep into eyewitness testimony, cover-up allegations, and the blurred lines between the natural and supernatural.

Steven Spielberg is the most famous filmmaker alive, which is exactly why almost nobody actually understands him. Chris and Daniel use Disclosure Day, Spielberg's new alien chase thriller with Emily Blunt, to argue that the "safe, mainstream" reputation is a decades-long misdirection: underneath the crowd-pleasing surface is a genuinely weird, deeply personal artist who has been smuggling strange, uncomfortable ideas inside blockbuster packaging since at least Close Encounters. They trace it through Fabelman's casting David Lynch as John Ford, the theory that Kubrick handed Spielberg AI specifically because Spielberg's glossy reputation could disguise a bleak, unnerving film, and the moment James Lipton caught Spielberg off guard by connecting his parents directly to Close Encounters on camera. Disclosure Day itself is proving strangely divisive, and Chris and Daniel dig into why. They break down its Sugarland Express-style chase structure, an Emily Blunt performance that starts as broad comedy and quietly transforms into something much stranger, a train sequence built to feel genuinely dangerous rather than stylized, and the VFX work from longtime collaborator Matthew Butler. Along the way, a detour into Spielberg's actual filmmaking journey, from Close Encounters to Poltergeist to AI, makes the case that his reputation as the "obvious" director has always been the biggest misdirection in his own filmography.

To celebrate the release of 'Disclosure Day,' we are looking back on two Steven Spielberg alien movie classics with guest Adam Sirdoreus. Stick around for part 2 in which we feature Adam's updated full Spielberg ranking. In 1977, Steven Spielberg followed up the smash success of JAWS with 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' starring Richard Dreyfus as a man experiencing a sort of psychotic episode brought on by an encounter with an alien spacecraft. The film is a seminal work for Spielberg, boasting his signature wonder layered in paranoia and mystery. It is regarded as one of the best works of all time in the science fiction genre, showcasing some truly awe-inspiring special effects. In 1982, Spielberg somehow improved on his achievement with 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,' starring Henry Thomas as a boy who becomes friends with friendly alien creature. It is without a doubt one of the most emotionally impactful and important films of all time, and perhaps Spielberg's best work.

The Grand Canyon draws five million tourists a year. What most visitors don't know is that the canyon is underexplored and far more mysterious than we imagine. Rumors talk of unexplained magnetic anomalies, ghostly figures seen by hikers, constant UFO sightings, and hidden caves sealed off by the government. The Grand Canyon is one of the world's seven natural wonders, but it may also be one of its greatest secrets.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, Forgotten Summer continues with "War of the Worlds", Steven Spielberg's intense adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic.After covering "Flight of the Navigator", discussing "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" in their Lead Up series, releasing a Patreon-exclusive episode on "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", and reviewing "Disclosure Day", it only felt right for the Mikes to tackle another one of Spielberg's unforgettable alien films.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field love "War of the Worlds". From Spielberg's masterful direction to the relentless pacing and unforgettable set pieces, the film remains just as gripping today as it was upon release. Even after multiple viewings, Butler finds himself on the edge of his seat throughout much of the movie.Of course, the Mikes still have a few nitpicks. Cruise's portrayal of Ray as an almost unbelievably irresponsible father feels exaggerated during the first half of the film, though both agree it ultimately pays off as his character grows over the course of the story. Butler also revisits one of the classic criticisms of the story itself: how could an incredibly advanced alien civilization spend (at least!) centuries preparing to invade Earth without accounting for the planet's microscopic dangers?One of the film's highlights for both Mikes is Tim Robbins' unforgettable performance, which leads to one of the movie's most tense and memorable sequences. They also discuss the controversial ending that has divided audiences for years. While both are ultimately satisfied with it, Butler understands why some viewers struggle with the family's reunion. However, the Mikes point out that both the ending and the aliens' ultimate fate come directly from H.G. Wells' original novel.Thrilling, suspenseful, and packed with unforgettable moments, "War of the Worlds" remains one of Spielberg's finest modern blockbusters and a standout entry in the alien invasion genre.What do you think of "War of the Worlds"? Let us know in the comments below!

For this episode my guest for is academic and author Shira Chess. Shira is Associate Professor of Entertainment and Media Studies at the University of Georgia. For a long time she was a Game Studies scholar but her recent focus has moved to the ‘Digital Uncanny', resulting in her new book The Unseen Internet: Conjuring the Occult in Digital Discourse. The book explores the magical thinking and occult influences that have shaped the history of digital spaces since the early days of the internet – and by extension, reality itself (or at least our perception of it). It examines subjects such as technopaganism, Gnosticism and simulation theory, reality hacking, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence and much more. In the interview I begin by talking with Shira about her background and how the idea for the book came about. We also discuss the curious connection throughout human history between new or emerging technologies and paranormal phenomena (such as telegraphy and spiritualism). Our conversation is more of an exploration of the themes and subjects in the book, rather than an analysis of the book itself but I think that we managed to cover a lot of interesting topics.

Doug Trumbull spent fifty years trying to convince Hollywood that the way movies are projected is fundamentally broken, and most of the industry never listened. The visual effects supervisor behind 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blade Runner, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and the director of Silent Running and Brainstorm, Trumbull passed away in 2022. This conversation originally aired in July 2020, before a lot of you were listening, and it's one of the fullest records of him explaining his life's obsession in his own words. We're pulling it back out of the archives because it deserves a wider audience than it got the first time around. Chris and Doug cover the whole arc: getting hired at Graphic Films off a satellite painting, cold calling Stanley Kubrick's secret phone number to get on 2001, the accidental discovery of double stars that led him toward persistence of vision research, and the Showscan process he patented at Paramount. They also get into Trumbull's MAGI process, 4K stereo at 120 frames per second, representing 40 times the data of a traditional HD video, and Chris's own experience helping produce a piece of content rendered through it as a proof of concept. Trumbull gives his blunt account of Ang Lee allegedly misusing his patented process on Gemini Man. This is a conversation about a man who understood something about how movies work that almost nobody in the industry, including some of its biggest directors, ever fully grasped.

What changed? This episode traces the modern UAP timeline and its ties to national security—from the 2004 Tic Tac encounter and the Gimbal/GoFast videos to the Plant 42 drone incursions, the New Jersey drone flap, and the Western U.S. orb investigation. We also examine the emergence of new national security initiatives, including Avi Loeb's UAP Advisory Council, a newly discovered guarded subterranean property near a sensitive Western site, and a newly obtained clip that could be related to the disappearance of retired Maj. Gen. Neil McCasland. Are these isolated events—or part of a frightening shift in the government's approach to UAP and national security?Subscribe (free) to ATU on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@allthingsunexplained _______________________Hosted by Dr. Tim Mounce—best-selling author, Audible narrator, professor, and coffee addict.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to DMRs Disclosure Day Spoiler Review! In this episode, we break down Steven Spielberg's highly anticipated 2026 sci-fi outer worldly thriller, analysing how it serves as the ultimate culmination of his alien legacy. We track his cosmic evolution over fifty years, contrasting the child-like wonder of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. with the visceral, post-9/11 apocalyptic dread of War of the Worlds, leading directly into the deep-state corporate paranoia of his latest masterpiece.Our comprehensive cast and character breakdown features stellar performances from Emily Blunt as the telepathic meteorologist Margaret Fairchild, Josh O'Connor as cybersecurity whistleblower Dr. Daniel Kellner, and Colin Firth playing brilliantly against type as the cold corporate villain Noah Scanlon, alongside powerhouse roles from Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo. Plus, we countdown the top 10 spoiler moments from the David Koepp-penned script and connect the film's tense plot to real-world UFO disclosure history—from the iconic 1947 Roswell crash to Brazil's legendary 1996 Varginha incident, right up to the modern satellite data leaks of 2026.Chapters 0:00 Intro & Audible 30-Day Free Trial03:25 Spielberg's Alien Films07:22 What is Disclosure Day09:21 Real World Alien Events17:01 The Characters & Cast20:27 Disclosure Day Spoilers 26:17 DMRs Verdict If you like this deep dive DMR review hit like, share and subscribe!#disclosureday #alien #aliens #ufo #ufos #conspiracyDMR is proud to be part of the Audible Creator Program.

Welcome to Day 2894 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2894 – “The Ultimate Close Encounter”  based on Luke 9:28-36 Putnam Church Message – 05/31/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “The Ultimate Close Encounter.”   Last week's message was “A Shocking Agenda,” in which we learned to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus, which is not the way to lose our life.  According to Jesus, that is the only way to truly find it. Today, we continue with our twenty-sixth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “The Ultimate Close Encounter.” Our core passage today is Luke 9:28--36, on page 1609 of your pew Bibles. The Transfiguration 28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[a] which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving>Jesus, / Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.) 34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen. Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today with grateful hearts. We confess that we often see only what is right in front of us — our problems, our pain, our schedules, our fears, our disappointments. But Your Word reminds us that there is more than what we can see with our eyes. There is glory beyond suffering, resurrection beyond death, and a Kingdom that cannot be shaken. Lord Jesus, as we look today at Your transfiguration, open our hearts to see You more clearly. Strengthen our faith. Quiet our fears. Teach us to listen to You. Help us follow You not only when the road is easy, but also when the road leads through sacrifice and suffering. May we leave this place with renewed confidence that Your will, Your way, all the way, is always best. Amen. Introduction: Our Hunger for Something More We live in an interesting age. I think we live in the most exciting age ever. That is why I would love to live another 70 years. We are at the threshold of major breakthroughs in all areas of life. Not everyone agrees with me. On one hand, skepticism is loud. Many people claim that nothing exists beyond what can be measured, tested, touched, or explained by science. They say the material universe is all there is. And yet, at the very same time, interest in the supernatural continues to grow. People watch shows about UFO sightings. They read books about near-death experiences. They watch movies about unseen worlds, spiritual forces, mysterious signs, angels, ghosts, and life beyond death. Even people who say they do not believe in God often feel that there must be something more. Why? Because deep inside the human soul is a longing to know that we are not alone. We want to know that our lives matter. We want to know that suffering is not meaningless. We want to know that death is not the end. We want to know that beyond the visible world lies a greater reality. That longing is not new. It goes back as far as humanity itself. Every culture in every age has looked beyond itself, searching the heavens for someone or something greater. In today's passage, three disciples receive what we might call the ultimate close encounter. Peter, John, and James are allowed to see behind the curtain. For a brief moment, the veil between earth and heaven is pulled back. They see Jesus in glory. They see Moses and Elijah alive. They hear the voice of God the Father. And they learn something they desperately needed to know. In the previous message, “A Shocking Agenda,” Jesus told His disciples that He must suffer, be rejected, be killed, and be raised on the third day. Then He said that anyone who wants to follow Him must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Him. / That was not what they expected. They expected the Messiah to march into Jerusalem, overthrow Rome, and restore Israel's glory. Instead, Jesus spoke of suffering, rejection, death, and surrender. So now, about eight days later, Jesus takes three of them up a mountain to pray. There, He gives them a glimpse of the glory on the other side of the cross. The message is clear: The road of Jesus may pass through suffering, but it ends in glory. Let's look at four truths that will explain this in our bulletin insert. Main Point 1: Jesus Reveals His Glory in the Place of Prayer Luke tells us that about eight days after Jesus said these things, He took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray. That detail matters. Luke has repeatedly shown us that Jesus prayed at key moments. He prayed at His baptism. He withdrew often to lonely places to pray. He prayed before choosing the Twelve. He will pray in Gethsemane before the cross. Here again, Jesus goes up the mountain to pray. In Scripture, mountains often become places of divine encounter. Moses met God on Mount Sinai. Elijah heard the gentle whisper of God on Mount Horeb. Later, Jesus would teach on mountains, pray on mountains, and eventually be crucified near Jerusalem on a hill called Golgotha. So, when Luke tells us Jesus goes up a mountain to pray, we should lean in. Something important is about to happen. / As Jesus is praying, His appearance changes. Matthew says His face shines like the sun. Mark says His clothing becomes dazzling white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach it. Luke says the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became dazzling white.  This is not stage lighting. / This is not imagination. / This is not the sun hitting His robe at just the right angle. / The glory that had always belonged to Jesus begins to shine through His humanity. For most of His earthly life, the glory of the eternal Son of God was veiled. People saw a real man from Nazareth. They saw Him tired. Hungry. Weeping. Sleeping in a boat. Walking dusty roads. Sitting at tables. Touching lepers. Holding children. Teaching crowds. / But on the mountain, for a few moments, the veil is pulled back. The disciples see that the One they follow is not merely a teacher. Not merely a prophet. Not merely a miracle worker. Not merely a wise rabbi. / He is the glorious Son of God. Object Lesson: The Covered Lamp Imagine a lamp covered with a thick cloth. The lamp is shining, but the cloth hides most of the light. You may see a little glow around the edges, but not the full brightness. / Now remove the covering. / The light floods the room. That is a simple picture of what happens on the mountain. Jesus does not become glorious for the first time. His glory is revealed. John later writes that the Word became flesh and lived among us, and “we have seen his glory.” Peter later writes that he was an eyewitness of Christ's majesty. / This moment stayed with them. Ancient Context For Jewish disciples, shining glory would immediately connect with the presence of God. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai after speaking with God, his face shone so brightly that the people were afraid to come near him. / But Moses reflected glory.  / Jesus reveals glory. Moses came down from the mountain with God's law. Jesus stands on the mountain as God's Son. / That distinction matters. Jesus is greater than Moses. Greater than Elijah. Greater than every prophet,...

When “Jaws” hit theatres in 1975, no one—neither the studio executives involved nor the film's twenty-six-year-old director, Steven Spielberg—was betting on its success. But it dominated at the box office and promptly revolutionized the way movies were promoted, distributed, and merchandised. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace how Spielberg inaugurated a new phenomenon in Hollywood: the blockbuster. He would tap his own playbook again and again with such hits as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “E.T.,” and “Jurassic Park,” all of which drew impressive audiences and profits. The hosts talk through his filmography, culminating in his new release, “Disclosure Day,” which both replicates and iterates on themes and techniques found in his earlier work. Though other directors may share his capacity for spectacle and action-packed set pieces, much of his appeal lies in his profound earnestness. “What Spielberg is so good at is bringing the human to the fore in these extreme, sci-fi circumstances,” Schwartz says. “And that's what makes a great blockbuster.”   New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

Almost 50 years ago, Steven Spielberg directed “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” the story of an average man who discovers that humanity may not be alone in the universe. Over the decades, Spielberg has directed several movies about what would happen if humanity made contact with aliens. Would the aliens be kind like the title character in “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial”? Would they be cruel like the murderous aliens of “War of the Worlds”? And regardless of what the aliens were like, would we humans be ready to receive them? Spielberg returns to the question of whether we're alone in the universe, and what it might mean if we're not, with his new film “Disclosure Day.” Today, he sits down with Rachel Abrams, a host of “The Daily,” to talk about the film, and about what he has learned over five decades of making movies about aliens.   On Today's Episode Steven Spielberg, director of “Disclosure Day.”   Background Reading ‘Disclosure Day' Review: Spielberg Plays His Greatest Cosmic Hits What Steven Spielberg Taught Me About Fear, Catharsis, and Being Human   Photo credit: Paolo Pellegrin/Magnum, for The New York Times Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
