6/15/20262 hr 11 min
Ryan is joined by Hollywood insiders, screenwriters, and Sound, Light & Frequency podcast hosts Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman for an in-depth, spoiler-filled review of Disclosure Day, the latest from legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Having both worked with Spielberg and spent years exploring the intersection of Hollywood, science fiction, and the UFO phenomenon, Bryce and Brent bring unique insider perspectives to one of the year's most talked-about films. Together, they break down the film's themes, performances, visual storytelling, and its handling of UFO disclosure, government secrecy, and extraterrestrial contact. The discussion explores how Disclosure Day compares to Spielberg's iconic alien films, including Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and War of the Worlds, while examining the real-life UFO cases, historical references, and hidden easter eggs woven throughout the movie. Where does Disclosure Day rank among Spielberg's greatest science-fiction films? Does it succeed as a UFO disclosure movie? And how accurately does it reflect decades of UFO history and research? Join us for a passionate, honest, and detailed conversation as we unpack every major moment, reveal our favorite scenes, debate its biggest surprises, and determine where Spielberg's newest alien outing stands in the pantheon of UFO cinema.

Howard, while breathing new life into forgotten classics penned by lesser-known authors. With new recordings published twice weekly, Tuesdays and Fridays, you'll encounter Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, from the Nameless City to the Color Out of Space. Clark Ashton Smith's Zothique, where cosmic entities linger in a dying world. Robert E. Howard's legendary tales of Bran Mak Morn and Conan, and everything else weird fiction has to offer. Baffling beasts and deadly bargains, haunted houses and polar terrors, caverns and crypts, dreams and nightmares, vampires and werewolves. The list goes on.
