Episode 333: Close Encounters of the Third Kind with J.G. Michael

Forrest, Kristina Oakes, and Conan Neutron talk about Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind with J.G. Michael. On June 12th, the latest Spielberg movie "Disclosure Day" is coming out. We are going to be covering it, but before that, we thought we'd go back and look at Spielberg's first alien movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind!! Released in 1977, right after Jaws became the highest grossing movie ever (although quickly surpassed by Star Wars,) Close Encounters of the Third Kind games out a scenario where Aliens begin appearing and trying to contact humans, abducting a few in the process. It stars Richard Dreyfuss, Teri Garr, Melinda Dillon, Bob Babalan, Carey Guffey, and Francois Truffaut. Richard Dreyfuss plays an electrical worker in Indiana who is among the first handful of people to really have an experience with a UFO after the power goes out in his area. Last chance to buy Caterwaul Tickets before the festival on June 5th-7th in Minneapolis
