Summary
The truth belongs to seven billion people. That's the promise of Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's return to science fiction and to the extraterrestrial obsessions that have haunted his work since Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Whether audiences are ready to believe is a different matter. Mike White and Chris Stachiw of The Kulturecast sit down with the summer's most buzzy Spielberg event film. Written by David Koepp from a story by Spielberg, Disclosure Day follows a cybersecurity whistleblower and a meteorologist caught in the aftermath of a government cover-up about alien life. The film stars Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo, with a score by John Williams — his thirtieth collaboration with Spielberg. Mike and Chris weigh in on whether the film lives up to Spielberg's legacy or settles for familiar comfort.
