In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we are joined by the hosts of the Vaguely Nerdy Podcast to discuss Disclosure Day, the alien-contact film that had all of us excited long before it ever reached theaters. We debate the film's biggest strengths and weaknesses, rank our favorite Spielberg alien movies, and even discuss if we've experienced a real-life alien encounter ourselves. We also explore why the film's fascinating premise and strong performances never quite overcome its clunky script.

Was Disclosure Day worth the wait, or is it another reminder that a great premise can only carry a film so far? Tune in as we disclose the truth about this film.

In this episode of Movie Postmortem, we revisit Bumblebee, the Transformers movie that brought a smaller, more character driven story to the screen. Set in the 1980s, the film follows Charlie and Bumblebee as they form a friendship that feels like a mashup of E.T. and The Iron Giant.

We discuss why the smaller scale works so well, how Hailee Steinfeld carries the emotional core of the story, and why Bumblebee himself is more expressive here than in the entire Michael Bay series combined.

Tune in as we discuss this robot-car coming-of-age story.
