I don't know how much you want to give away about the plot to Disclosure Day, but is that one of the things that prompted you to make it?

And is there still a bit of you that puts all of that in your films?

If you know what I mean, the film we like most at 11 kind of stays with us.

Is that something you try and recreate for people watching your movies?

I was watching Disclosure Day.

I was thinking about Stephen King.

And I think one thing both of you have in common is you can go anywhere because you're so rooted in reality.

When you're doing reality, when you're doing a street, I believe I am in a street.

And therefore, you know, there can be a time portal.

There can be aliens.

There can be whatever you want.

And that's the thing.

It's starting with the real and then

going outwards.

Well, I think you nailed that with Disclosure Day.

I'll say this.

uh here's a one of our listeners this is not a question but declan costello says many years ago i auditioned for the role of jim in empire of the sun i got down to the last five boys considered for the part but it obviously went to christian bale said you wrote me a beautiful letter which i treasure but then he says here's the kicker you definitely made the right decision by the way i am a much better doctor than i would have been an actor

Do you ever able to say, guys, I'm Steven Spielberg?

I even saw it on Thursday Murder Club.
