Episode Details

Germain Lussier of Gizmodo joins Dave Weekley with early impressions of Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, which Lussier calls his favorite Spielberg film since Catch Me If You Can — a stretch of more than 20 years. Calling it an emotionally rich blend of ET and Close Encounters with more intensity and action than either, Lussier describes the film as a paranoia thriller with a genuine spirit of wonder, anchored by what he predicts will become an all-time great character performance from Emily Blunt. He cautions that marketing has been underwhelming and the film may not become a massive blockbuster, but argues it has the depth and originality to stay with audiences long after they leave the theater. The review embargo lifts June 9th, with the film drawing international attention from Lussier's early social media reactions.
