Disclosure Day — Not The Spielberg Movie We Expected

The Movie Marathon Pod reveals it all on Disclosure Day — Steven Spielberg's UFO thriller inspired by the 2017 New York Times Pentagon article that launched the modern UAP era. One of us walked out of the theater in a trance. The other said the last 20 minutes was the only thing he actually wanted to see. We also break down the full production story including John Williams' 30th collaboration with Spielberg, the practical-first shooting approach, the one-take studio scene, the train sequence, and the ending.

The episode covers the full production story behind each entry including the 15-to-1 box office ratio that made the original a phenomenon, the Marlon Brando one-day shoot that in Scary Movie 2, the original Scary Movie 3 script that was going to be called "Episode I — Lord of the Brooms," the director of Scary Movie 5 telling audiences not to bother seeing it, and the Wayans Brothers returning 23 years later specifically because the Weinsteins fell. Plus the history of the spoof genre, what ages badly versus what still works, and whether any film in this franchise is genuinely good, not good for a spoof, just good.
