                <itunes:summary>If we learned anything from Disclosure Day it&#39;s that revealing the truth is so important, and our truth is that we both absolutely hated this movie. We try to decipher why exactly Steven Spielberg&#39;s newest alien movie got under our skin so much, and why it&#39;s been so divisive in general. Our conversation is full of spoilers and what SOME might call &#34;rants&#34; about the script, the story, the failed metaphors, the naivety of boomers, the politics, and of course the size discrepancy between all the aliens.
