‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey

Hmm.

‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey

Didn't really get it. It kind of makes sense if you have seen any true faux films. So it makes me wonder why Steven Spielberg wanted him in the first place. He never really made like a space epic.
