Steven Spielberg films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Disclosure Day (2026) and Minority Report (2002), two Science Fiction films directed by cinema great Steven Spielberg. Our conversation begin by unpacking our reactions to and judgements of Disclosure Day, including how the film connects to or doesn't connect to the real-world pressures of today. We praise the performances of Eve Hewson and Emily Blunt, with mixed reactions to Josh O'Connor, Wyatt Russell and Coleman Domingo. We discuss the ineptitude from the super agents in both films. Our conversation moves to Minority Report and praise the performances of Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow, Time Blake Nelson, Peter Stormare and, of course, Tom Cruise. We discuss the cinematography of both films, the work of Janusz Kaminski. We make the connection between Steven Spielberg's later work and the careers of Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.
