About this episode

Jonathan Pageau discusses the symbolism and themes of Spielberg's film Disclosure Day, critiquing it as a piece of boomer propaganda.

I went to see Spielberg’s Disclosure Day and found myself watching a strange, late-stage piece of boomer propaganda about aliens, media, religion, and who we are supposed to trust. Here are my thoughts on the symbolism of the film.
