The Midnight Film Society

On today’s show, a scrappy upstart director, Steven Spielberg, has released his 35th feature film this week, Disclosure Day. Derick and I will go over all the themes, ideas, and dodgy cgi in Spielberg’s newest sci-fi adventure. But, before that, we will go over some movie and tv news, discuss more of what we've been watching, and finish up with our Letterboxd assignments.
