Disclosure Day (2026) Review — Spielberg's New Alien Movie

Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg's first alien movie in over two decades, and he's calling it the conclusion to a spiritual trilogy that started with Close Encounters and E.T. That's a big swing. We went to see if he pulled it off.

Josh, Garrett, and David caught the film together at Circle Cinema in Tulsa — packed house, no assigned seats, the whole thing — and then recorded this. They talk about why the final act works harder than the first two, Emily Blunt's shot at awards season, what the film gets wrong about how the internet works (and why that doesn't matter), and whether Spielberg is actually using aliens to say something about loneliness, faith, and a world that stopped listening to itself.

Ratings land at 3.5, 4, and 4.5 stars — which means someone's wrong. Go find out who.
