from 3 Brothers Filmcast · host Aren Bergstrom
Is Steven Spielberg’s DISCLOSURE DAY a romp or a dud? The Brothers debate the answer on this in-depth review of the new UFO thriller starring Josh O’Connor, Emily Blunt, and Colin Firth. They discuss whether the film works as a UFO movie, its core performances, its themes about nostalgia, trauma, and empathy, and its action filmmaking. They ultimately ask whether Spielberg has still got it before they broaden the conversation to cover his other sci-fi movies including CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND and WAR OF THE WORLDS.0:53 - Keynote3:15 - Roundtable: “Disclosure Day”47:30 - The Current: Spielberg & UFOsClips:- “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977)- “Disclosure Day” (2026)- “The Newsroom” (2012)- “The Simpsons” (1989)- “Superman II” (1980)- “War of the Worlds” 2005)Further Reading:- Anton’s review of “Disclosure Day”- Aren’s essay on “War of the Worlds”Read more of the 3 Brothers’ reviews, features, and roundtables at 3 Brothers Film.Subscribe to the 3 Brothers Film Substack.Subscribe to the 3 Brothers Film YouTube Channel.
