Steven Spielberg listens to Story Nerd. My proof? In a recent interview with The New York Times, he said, "The first thing I look for [in a story] is a very compelling premise. The second thing is a character we can hitch our wagons to." THIS is exactly what Melanie and I have been discussing all season. So yeah, he MUST be listening to us, right? ;-) Seriously though, you want to tune into this episode to hear why Spielberg thinks these two things — premise and character — are so important. -V.

Josh is joined by Steven Spielberg Correspondent Josh Brown to talk about Spielberg's newest film, "Disclosure Day." They discuss if Spielberg and co-writer David Koepp found a unique enough story to justify Spielberg's returning to sci-fi (and alien-focused subject matter), the performances from a cast that included Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor and Colin Firth, a long digression about Steven Spielberg's politics and his recent move to New York City and much more!

Steven Spielberg's sci-fi thriller 'Disclosure Day' was officially released in theaters on June 12, 2026. Just 17 days later, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) officially shuts down on June 29, 2026. Both point to the year 2030.Any connection between the two? Let's take a forensic look..CrownsMedia— empowering you to become the devilzworstnightmareDisclosure Day is a 2026 science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, and Colin Firth, about the global revelation of extraterrestrial life and a government conspiracy to cover it up.

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.

In this episode we discuss Steven Spielberg's newest film, sharing our excitement going in and our mixed reactions afterward. We praise Janusz Kaminski's cinematography, several standout shots, solid editing, and strong performances from Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, Josh O'Connor, Eve Hewson, and Colin Firth, while getting into the repetitive structure, shaky logic, unclear stakes, and a surprisingly disappointing score that turns out to be by John Williams.

In der neuen Episode unseres Podcasts dreht sich alles um aktuelle Kinohighlights und ein besonderes musikalisches Erlebnis. Wir werfen einen genauen Blick auf zwei viel diskutierte Kinofilme und nehmen euch außerdem mit nach Dublin zu einem unvergesslichen Konzertabend. Mit „You, Me & Italy“ präsentiert Regisseurin Kat Coiro eine romantische Geschichte vor der traumhaften Kulisse Italiens. Der Film mit Halle Bailey, Regé-Jean Page und Lorenzo de Moor erzählt von Begegnungen, Emotionen und der Suche nach Liebe und Identität. Die warmen Bilder, gepaart mit einem modernen Storytelling, machen den Film zu einem klassischen Feel-Good-Kinoerlebnis, das vor allem Fans romantischer Filme begeistern dürfte. Oder ist es eher nix? Ganz anders fällt dagegen „Disclosure Day“ aus, der neue Kinofilm von Starregisseur Steven Spielberg. Mit einer hochkarätigen Besetzung rund um Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor und Colin Firth widmet sich der Film einem spannungsgeladenen Thema, das gesellschaftliche und persönliche Konflikte miteinander verbindet. Neben den Filmreviews berichtet Eric außerdem kurz von seinem Besuch beim Konzert von THE CURE im Marley Park in Dublin. Das Event bot nicht nur musikalische Highlights, sondern auch eine besondere Atmosphäre, die Fans der Band weltweit zu schätzen wissen.

Mindframes Show Notes Episode 121 — Disclosure Day (2026) Directed by: Steven Spielberg Written by: David Koepp Starring: Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15047880/ Special guest: Tarek Fayoumi (movieswithtarek.com), director of the Chicago Independent Film Critics. Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave — joined by returning guest Tarek Fayoumi — discuss Disclosure Day (2026), Steven Spielberg's return to the alien genre and his first big sci-fi swing since War of the Worlds. The conversation works through Spielberg's recurring obsessions (renegade heroes, shadowy government forces, ordinary people swept into something enormous), Janusz Kamiński's return to the diffused-light, lens-flare look, and John Williams' 30th collaboration with the director — before splitting hard over whether the film's hopeful thesis actually lands. Comparisons run from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., and War of the Worlds to Contact, Minority Report, and Coppola's Megalopolis as a fellow "late master with something to say." Verdicts split three ways: Michael 2.5/5, Dave 3/5, Tarek 4/4. Thematic Discussion Disclosure Day asks whether an undeniable, truthful image can still unite people in a cynical age — Brian Tallerico's "undeniable image" framing, run through the show's central question: not is there proof? but does proof still work on us? Michael argues the truthful image isn't wounded but dead — a shared reality the film is nostalgic for, but one that no longer functions when people deny what they're shown. Dave counters that the film's real hope is empathy and human-to-human connection replacing the broken image, while conceding Spielberg doesn't earn that buy-in the way his early work did. The film ends not on a revelation but on Margaret turning to the camera, saying "Listen," and cutting to black — proof getting humanity to the threshold, with faith and empathy left to carry it the rest of the way.

This week, we herald the return of Steven Spielberg and one more foray into the alien sci-fi genre with Disclosure Day. Those expecting blockbuster thrills might be a little thrown to instead receive a talky, late-style plea for empathy and the transformative power of truth. The question, however, is if it's too late. We discuss Spielberg, his recent oeuvre, and the million things he has on his mind with Disclosure Day.

This week the BGH crew emerges from the theater to review Steven Spielberg's “Disclosure Day”,  and along the way asks the question; What happens when an 80 year old tries to say something profound and completely misses the mark? We also talk about tall greys, our own feelings on aliens and whether or not the world would even blink twice if someone actually attempted full disclosure.   Disclosure Day is a 2026 American science fiction thriller film directed and produced by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by David Koepp, based on a story by Spielberg. The film stars an ensemble cast, including Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo. As the world stands poised on the brink of World War III, cybersecurity specialist Dr. Daniel Kellner steals from the Wardex Corporation, a secret arm of the U.S. government, a piece of extraterrestrial technology and related files, detailing various events of human–alien contact dating back to the Roswell incident. Wardex CEO Noah Scanlon discovers the theft and has Daniel branded a foreign spy, making him the target of federal authorities. Daniel goes into hiding at a convent with his girlfriend, Jane Blankenship. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Spielberg, aliens, and a CGI fox that should be tried for war crimes. Welcome to Disclosure Day.Cupcake and Mike review Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and Eve Hewson — a North by Northwest-meets-Close Encounters conspiracy thriller about what happens when the government finally admits aliens are real. Written by David Koepp, scored by John Williams, shot by Janusz Kaminski — this is about as classic-Spielberg a creative team as it gets. So why does this conversation get so heated? Is Spielberg "too old for this"? Why are Mike and Jose deeply split on Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor performances? Is the third act really the humanity unifying resolution or did a legendary filmmaker shit the bed?

Hello, movie maniacs! This week Mary and David watched Stephen Spielberg’s newest film Disclosure Day starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor and Colin Firth. People are very excited about Spielberg’s return to a deeply-loved theme, but what did David and Mary make of the film? Did they have a close encounter or did they diss closure? Thanks for listening!

It's Disclosure Day on the Book and Film Globe podcast, as host Neal Pollack and chief film critic Stephen Garrett disclose that they didn't much care for Steven Spielberg's new “the truth about aliens” film Disclosure Day. They both found the script poorly-paced and silly, and really disliked several of the film's performances, including soggy turns from Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, and Colman Domingo. Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell, and especially Emily Blunt fare better, but they cannot get the best of a ham-handed scenario, bizarrely convoluted action sequences, and nonsensical world-building. What a mess.We get around to Backrooms this week as well. Critic Daniel Aaron joins Neal to discuss the Internet phenomenon turned box-office sensation. Backrooms is a completely fresh premise, sure to be ground down over time by bad sequels. But for now, it's all about liminal spaces, and genuinely haunting performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, as two Californians in the early 1990s who get caught in another dimension in the back of a failing furniture store. Creepy, unsettling, and weirdly funny, Backrooms will have you thinking twice before entering a strange space.Finally, Scott Gold is back on the podcast this week, talking to Neal about Spider Noir on Amazon Prime, featuring an iconic Nicolas Cage performance as a 1930s noir detective who also happens to have the power set of Spider-Man. The series is eight episodes when it should have been six, with its share of repetitive story beats. But that doesn't take away from its core pleasures: watching Cage give it his all, in a spectacularly physical comic, and semi-tragic, performance. There are excellent supporting turns as well, and enough action scenes to keep this from becoming too dull. Recommended quite highly by our two non-superpowered contributors.Regular listeners of the Book and Film Globe podcast will also notice that we have new theme music this!

Spoilers for Disclosure Day. Jason and Rachel review Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's new alien movie starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, and Wyatt Russell. There are things to like here: Emily Blunt is great, Colman Domingo remains a human weighted blanket, and a few sequences feel like vintage Spielberg. But the movie's big alien reveal, TV station climax, confusing character logic, and “world peace / just listen” ending left us deeply frustrated. We talk Close Encounters comparisons, little green men, thumb drives, World War III, invisible fire trucks, AI-era skepticism, David Koepp, Spielberg nostalgia, and why Disclosure Day ends up as a disappointed thumbs down.

Spielberg's back on the big screen with a sci-fi thriller starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and Eve Hewson. We've got a review of DISCLOSURE DAY plus sneak peaks of three upcoming releases in our Trailer Tapas section.   Recommendation from our hosts in this episode:  Exit 8 Footcandle Film Society   

Legendary Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg (Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, ET: The Extra Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) returns to the science fiction genre for the first time in almost twenty years with this mystery thriller focusing on a group of scientists (Josh O'Connor, Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo) who are attempting to find and release classified information from the United States government about the existence of alien life and its presence on our planet.  Standing in their way is a shadowy organization lead by Oscar-winner Colin Firth (The King's Speech, Kingsman, A Single Man) and the key towards revealing the truth MIGHT lie with a Kansas City meterologist (Oscar-nominee Emily Blunt) who begins to communicate with others around her in unexpected ways.  Will the truth be revealed??

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Disclosure Day” from 2026 starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson & Colman Domingo.

Steven Spielberg returns to one of the defining obsessions of his career with Disclosure Day, a science-fiction thriller inspired by modern UFO disclosure debates and decades of speculation about extraterrestrial life. Written by longtime Spielberg collaborator David Koepp from a story Spielberg reportedly carried with him for years, the film stars Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo in a story about government secrecy, hidden truths, and humanity's first official reckoning with the reality of alien contact.Released on June 12, 2026, Disclosure Day has been praised by critics for its ambition, performances, and Spielberg's trademark sense of wonder, while generating a far more divided reaction among audiences. Is the confirmation that aliens exist still the earth-shattering revelation it once was, or has popular culture spent the last eighty years preparing us for that moment? In this episode, we discuss whether Spielberg's latest film is a hopeful meditation on truth and humanity's place in the universe, or a story built around a revelation that no longer carries the dramatic weight it did in the era of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Join us as we break down the film, its themes, its cultural relevance, and whether Disclosure Day arrived at exactly the wrong moment in history.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Steven Spielberg is seventy-nine years old, and he just made the movie where the government finally stops lying about aliens. Disclosure Day caps the loose trilogy he started with Close Encounters and E.T. — private awe, then childhood friendship, and now a global broadcast that yanks the curtain back on all of it. This month the Film Board gathers to toss about whether the old master still has the magic.Full spoilers, of course. The panel digs into Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor as the searching heart of the thing, Colin Firth's body-hopping menace, the cosmic-FaceTime dinner table, a train sequence that actually pays off its punchline, and a panic attack they call of the most accurate they've ever seen on screen. They argue the device nobody understands (Duraflame theory included), the news-station climax, and a big-swing ending that stops cold at the moment of disclosure and whispers a single word.Then the larger brawl: whether a 79-year-old's plea for empathy and transparency lands in a cultural moment where the same disclosure could just as easily become a hunting license.The Film Board is a monthly deep-dive on new releases, part of The Next Reel family of film podcasts.Want to hear more? Over on Make Me A Nerd…Disclosure Day is the back half of a Spielberg conversation Steve already started. Over on Make Me a Nerd, Mandy hands him the mic for Close Encounters of the Third Kind — one of his top five films of all time — and gets the full package: curiosity, obsession, government lies, blinking lights, and questionable parenting. It's the hunger for connection that Disclosure Day spends fifty years catching up to. Mandy arrives late to the party, but by the end she understands exactly why this movie meant — and still means — so much. If you want the origin point of every instinct this new one is paying off, that's the room.Make Me A Nerd • Close Encounters with Steve SarmentoOver on The Next Reel…Pete Wright and Andy Nelson took Close Encounters apart for the Next Reel's Original Sci-Fi series — the three existing cuts of the film, what's different, why the changes were made, and which to watch — plus an older-and-wiser reckoning with how the parenting of both Roy and Gillian now feels incredibly poor. The private-awe-versus-government-stonewall DNA that Disclosure Day scales up to a global broadcast starts right here. The Next Reel • Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Steven Spielberg is officially back in the sci-fi sandbox with Disclosure Day, and you already know we had to break it all down. This week, we're diving deep into his 37th feature film to see if this original alien conspiracy thriller lives up to the massive legacy of Close Encounters and E.T.—or if it gets lost in its own sentimentality.​We're talking about that stellar cast (Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colman Domingo, and Colin Firth), the incredible car chases, that bizarre clicky alien language, and whether the movie's big message about humanity and empathy actually lands. Is this a certified summer blockbuster classic or is Spielberg just playing the hits? Tap in and find out!

Dave & Cody bring back Kiefer, a college debate coach and cinephile, to review Disclosure Day, the new original Spielberg alien movie. The vintage Spielberg machine is back together: John Williams on score, Janusz Kamiński shooting, David Koepp writing, Michael Kahn editing. Dave makes the case that the whole movie is tuned to a frequency Gen X kids hear and millennials might not. The table digs into Emily Blunt's career-best performance, a possibly divisive ending, the government-competence logic gaps, and whether two and a half hours earns a do-it-yourself conclusion. The Pastor's Corner lands on empathy as survival. Plus the Sandlot reunion series and a round of the Movie Game.SPOILER WARNING: Full spoilers for Disclosure Day after the news segment.Movie reviewed: Disclosure Day (2026) — Directed by Steven Spielberg, written by David Koepp. Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, with a score by John Williams. In theaters now.

Disclosure Day is a science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by David Koepp, based on a story by Spielberg.

For this week's main podcast review, Cody Dericks, Nadia Dalimonte, Dan Bayer, Giovanni Lago, and Brendan Hodges join me to review and discuss the latest film from the legendary Stephen Spielberg, "Disclosure Day," starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo & Wyatt Russell. Returning to live-action science fiction for the first time in over twenty years, Spielberg is no longer asking whether or not aliens exist, but rather how the world would react if they did. The result is a thrilling, emotional, and intellectually rich blockbuster, a rarity in today's cinematic landscape. Is it a reminder of what a great storyteller Spielberg is, or is it a well-intentioned misfire from a master filmmaker? Please tune in to find out as we discuss the screenplay, its themes, the performances, the craftsmanship, including John Williams's score, the visual effects and sound work, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
