Commentary | Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Added 2025-02-07 23:00:06 +0000 UTCDoo DOO doo doo doooooo!
We're kicking off Spielbruary with another movie about aliens, but this time Reese's Pieces are out and mashed potatoes are in.
Micah has never seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but boy has that little theme song been stuck in my head for my entire life!
Featuring Richard Dreyfuss in this year's hottest Halloween costume and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from Bob Balaban, this movie is over two hours of extraterrestrial edging until the big finale blows your mind.
PS. We watched the Director's Cut!

a scene that I, someone 3 three years older than you, replayed an unhealthily excessive amount of times because of how consistently crunk it got me
