Alien Invasion month concludes, and Spielberg November begins, with CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, an incredibly influential film for several of our most beloved Fox shows of the 1990s, although not Melrose Place. Is this a dry run at other films Spielberg would do better later? How much awe can be shown in a single movie? What happens when Dad meets a sexy widow with the same hyperfixations as he does? Those practical effects! That music! A synth that saves mankind! All this and more, discussed by Rowan, Kev, and returning guest Ellie Warren.
