Happy Wednesday Screenagers! The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist is back with more movie magic. This week, we’re talking Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
We hope you enjoy listening!
Episode 35: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
An alien invasion! But the aliens are friendly – what a relief. Pat Brennan (@Pattbb8 on Twitter) of The Commentary Podcast joins Raf to talk about Steven Spielberg’s classic tale of communication, family, and spaceships. It might be Spielberg’s most personal movie, but it’s also the one where he convinced Francois Truffaut to play a scientist. Which means it’s great for multiple reasons. Come explore why.
