Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Podcast. Podcast. Podcast.
Podcast. Very good.
I perfectly understood all of that. You knew that? I understood all of it. Everything out there. Yeah, I was speaking mathematics, David. It's easy. You couldn't hear that? That didn't sound like anything to you? That's so crazy. That was me saying 2 plus 2 plus 10 minus 1 equals... I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I lost the track. But I said 2 plus 2 plus 10 minus 1 is 13.
And then I was going to add one more thing to it. I was going to do times 0. Tricky. This is my bit I do with Asa Ehrlich, son of David Ehrlich. I did it one time. He loves math. I'm now three years into him insisting I do it every single time. He loves math. He thinks math is the best thing and the funniest thing.
And my bit is that I take out the calculator on my phone and I come up with the biggest number I can. And then I go, watch how big this is going to be. And then I times it by zero. And then when the number disappears, I go, what are you doing? You using some kind of prank calculator? You spoofing and goofing me?
And he hasn't caught on yet?
He likes pointing at me and saying, you're so bad at math. Right. That's what he likes. He likes that I become the fool. I'm hoisted by my petard.
I will say in the film Disclosure Day, when you have the reveal that there are two people that have been gifted, you know, the knowledge from extraterrestrials. And one of them got math and the other person got empathy. I was just like, fuck, if I was the math person, I'd just like kill myself.
But wouldn't, I feel like you're thinking of this as a, because I'm bad at math. And you're an empathetic person. Well, true. But it's like, but then you'd be good at math. Well.

Chapter 2: How does the film 'Disclosure Day' relate to Spielberg's previous works?
They call them dirty gingers. I'm sure I've said this on the podcast before. I came home from school when I was like 10. And I was like, to my mom, I'm like, they're so mean. Everyone is so mean to this kid who has red hair. You know, and she's like... That's what he deserves. Yeah, she was like, you listen to me. That's what you call him. And no, no, no.
She was like, it's 1,000 years of hating Irish and Scottish people.
Oh, yeah.
That makes sense. Because I was like, why do they... And she was like, they don't even know it, but it's just, you know, decades, centuries of like, well, those are the, you know, the Gallic, you know, we don't want them. It all traces back to a couple missing pots of gold and that they just no one has ever gotten over. No, I'm trying to be empathetic and explain this.
It was so shocking to me as a child of like... What the fuck? He's just got red hair. You're all pasty English people.
I don't think it's just the red hair. It's the red hair and the freckles.
It's the freckles. It's that you look a little different. You know, I mean, what do children do? What do children do? They make fun of people who look different. It's not nice. They shouldn't do it. They're obviously not playing literal siblings in this. And I think they're both very good at American accents.
But does it not kind of help that Josh O'Connor and Emily Blunt are both British in this movie? A little removed from reality. That they both have the same exact kind of like pitch of their performance? I think that's very fair. I'm trying to think of, I feel like there's a lot of other examples recently of this, of the like two Brits in the lead both doing it. You want two Brits?
fake Americans who are paired.

Chapter 3: What are the key themes explored in 'Disclosure Day'?
That's fun. Indeed.
Because there's definitely like a post-Fabelman's reading and then a pre-Fabelman's reading, in my opinion.
yeah true of almost anything you ever made yeah David this is great more work you love it David you keep going add more episodes yeah let me clear my schedule and like it's like me trying to find new spots in my schedule now it's just like fucking like you know like my shovel hitting rock like I dug to the bottom of Minecraft do you know there's another Minecraft movie coming out next year yeah do you know what it's called Minecraft Movie Squared pretty fucking good oh I love that that's actually pretty clever so the next one can be cubed right yeah
You get that, Ben? Ha ha ha. I was just building out my first 2017 list. Your first of... Sorry, 2027. Yeah, okay, okay. You know, it's like, all right, it doesn't really matter, but what's going to be coming out? And yeah, I was like, oh, they got that fucking done quickly.
Yeah, they're filming it right now with Kirsten Dunst, who's about to start a kind of historic, finally getting that bag run. Yeah, give her the bag. She's got housemaid. Yeah, The Housemaid's Secret. Yes. So like that's another one where they were like, roll this back as fast as possible. I feel like she's got three sneaky sequels of things that weren't obvious slam dunks.
So she's doing kind of The Rock in like 2010? Yeah. Yeah. Except she's not like franchise Viagra, which is what he, of course, loved to call himself. The Rock was in G.I. Joe 2, Journey to the Mysterious Island. There's another one. He kept being in sequels to movies that he was not in. And there was one, what was the other one? You're right.
Journey to the Mysterious Island, of course, is the one where he's like, you know, the Twitter joke was like, hey, we got a part for you, Journey to the Mysterious Island. He's like, I'm not interested. And it's like, okay, well, how can we sweeten the deal? I want to ride a bee. Okay. Wait, wait. You're on the poster riding a bee. The poster was him riding a giant bee next to Michael Caine.
This is one of those classic Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Joss Hutcherson vehicles. The big three. Hold on. And the plus a B, the big three plus a B. It was a B movie. It was a B movie.
I'm not seeing him riding a B. I'm seeing him running away from a giant lizard creature.

Chapter 4: How does the film's ending impact audience perception?
Wells, of course. I'm sorry. It's Jules Verne. What if we did a Jules Verne Patreon series? What are some film adaptations?
2,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World, 20,000 Leagues.
You just knocked off 18,000 whole leagues.
So like the whale started at 2,000 leagues under the sea and then he fell to 20,000 leagues under the sea.
There are too many hunchbacks. Okay. You guys are out of control. Okay. So 20,000 leagues under the sea. You got the Kirk Douglas James Mason movie. So there you got that. Okay. There was also a James Mason journey to the center of the earth in 1959. Okay.
Do any of you guys have a good James Mason? No.
Sure, I could work on one. I don't know. Is that sort of his vibe?
Yes.
I'm thinking we do. Then there's, oh, this is a problem. What? We have a huge problem. Okay. There's a huge problem now that we're doing this miniseries which I've committed us to.

Chapter 5: What insights do the hosts share about Ridley Scott's Oscar history?
Oh, that makes me so happy.
Another is a very, very esteemed workaholic director who's still working even though he's old and he's a bit of a grump and he has no competitive Oscar. Similar to Glenn Close. But a lot of nominations. I can't believe he doesn't have an Oscar.
Ridley Scott. Ridley Scott.
There we go. And I'm sure his speech will be sunshiny. Well, the problem is they're going to have Grover present the award to him and get his order wrong. David's doing the face. The fourth, I think, might excite you, Griffin Newman, because it's an animator. It's an animator? An animator. He makes the cartoons. Feature films? Don Bluth.
Chapter 6: What are the main themes introduced with Emily Blunt's character?
No. Don Bluth, what medium of animation is his primary? He worked at Disney for very many years, and he's worked at Hanna-Barbera. Is it Glen Keane? Pixar, nope. He's also a pioneer in his field, an African-American animator. Oh, it's Floyd Norman? Floyd Norman. A legend. 90 years old. A legend. Worked on Toy Story 2. Yes, but also worked on Sleeping Beauty or whatever.
He's a bit of a Forrest Gump in animation. That's a very cool one.
Chapter 7: How does the film explore the concept of empathy through alien encounters?
It's a good four. Yeah. Or five. Marie just had a really funny reaction, which is I pulled the name Floyd Norman and she looked stunned that I could know a name of someone that obscure. And then I saw her face settle into like, if he doesn't know that, then who is he?
Yeah. That was the arc.
You were like, how did you pull that? Well, right. You're fucking you. That's the shit in your brain. Floyd Norman.
Chapter 8: What predictions do the hosts make about the film's box office performance?
I'm also really excited to learn about this guy.
He's a really cool guy. I think he's written a book. He might have been the first African-American animator at Disney. He worked on Sleep.
He was a clean-up artist on Sleeping Beauty.
He's been everywhere.
But also like Alvin and the Chipmunks in the 80s and Robot Chicken. That's so fucking cool.
Yeah, it was like when Pixar got big enough that they needed to hire more animators, it was such a big deal that it was like, we can get Floyd Norman. And I think he worked on like two or three at that point in time. Disclosure Day.
Disclosure Day. Okay, so Josh and Eve escape.
And then we got to talk about our introduction to Emily Blunt.
That's where it's kind of taken us. So they escape and they hide out in a convent. We now jump over to meeting Emily Blunt.
