118. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (Summer of Spielberg)
Manage episode 423561322 series 1445094
The Summer of Spielberg begins with Spielberg’s biggest hit, the classic 1982 alien/divorce family film E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
Adjusted for inflation, this is the fourth-highest-grossing movie of all time. Beloved by generations, it is a lot of fun, yes… but it’s also some dark, dark shit. Laci explains why it’s always been so difficult for her to watch, even though she knows how good a movie it is.
There is much gushing about puppets. There has maybe never been a better puppet in a movie. And there may have never been three better child actor performances than the brothers and sister in this movie.
Next week: Jurassic Park (1993) with our special guests, Kristie & AJ of the In Love With Horror podcast!
