You're in for A treat. It's a classic Spielberg adventure film. Great science fiction And I got toa say one of his best in the last twenty years. Now we're going to do a spoiler free reaction to the film. We're not going to give any specific details away in this episode So we're going to give you like a breakdown of what to expect Things that we enjoyed non specifically. So don't worry. we're not going to spoil anything. We're not going to get into any nitty gritty of the movie. so you'll here's the ending real. So you'll still be able to watch this episode and then enjoy the film walking into it knowing very little as well, which I think right off the bat Marketing for this film, I think it's been fantastic. Yeah because they haven't given anything away. and They've released two trailers and a couple of clips. I recommend don't watch the clips they've released because one of them is pretty revealing and a lot of people have been reposting it and making reels and TikToks of that clip in particular. Don't watch that because it's one of the best moments in the film in an amazing shot. But I got to say Universe is doing an outstanding job of not giving anything away for this film There's obviously some action in it. You get you get we get the setup in the marketing, the trailer showcases, you know the story Josh O'Cnor plays a character who's been keeping secrets for some kind of government agency about aliens existing on Earth for more than seventy years. and Disclosure Day is him trying to find a way to broadcast this globally to the world at the same time. Emily Blunt plays a very mysterious figure, another character who has a very close connection. We don't know why, but some kind of mysterious connection to both Josh O'Connor and the things that are happening. and she's amazing in this movie. But Universal has really giving away nothing more than those details. And I gota tell you watching this film The final thirty minutes of this movie is none of it's in the trailer. You're gonna be blown away, You don't know what to expect. and they really nailed the story in the final climactic moments. My jaw was on the floor twice in this film to the point where I even like covered my mouth to my hand and like It was fantastic. I loved it. You know, Steven Spielberg, our all time favorite filmmaker, arguably, the guy' a legend and we've grown up with those movies like so many of you have. And disclosure dayay lives up to his his hype as always. He's seventy nine now, but he hasn't lost a step He's a very rare case U A filmmaker who's been making movies for almost sixty years now But he's still setting the bar He's still maintaining his quality of storytelling and showing a mastery of it constantly And innovating There are things that he was doing in this movie that I've never seen before in my life from a blocking and camera angle perspective From a practical perspective, a creativity perspective, he's just doing things no one else even thinks about doing. And that's from experience and that's from genius creativity. The way he's revealing information with specific shots visually showing information, the way he's shooting contemporary technology and incorporating it into the filmmaking as well. I think that He's still an innovor desespite his age, despite having made forty movies already The guys iconic and it was so incredible. We Let me tell you about the experience we had going to New York City. We got taken out there by TikTok and Universal. So thanks so much for the invite U We saw the movie on Wednesday night. We got to go to the Empire AMC. which is at Times Square in New York City. Really beautiful theater, veryy busy. but it was really cool And It's exciting to see the film early. You know, when you see a special filmmaker, their new releases, there's always for me in a giddiness buzz in the air and excitement that It doesn't come with most other filmmakers or other movies, but you know, when I'm sitting down and I see the f film Wh whether it's trailers or for our experience, there was no trailers. It's just the screen. I was just so excited to be in the theater for a new Steven Spielberg film and seeing it three weeks early is just such a privilege and an honor that you know, I always remember Um, We got to see the movie, which is great. And then we got to participate in An event the next day at TikTok headquarters, which is also in Times Square where It was a bit of an acute reception And then Steven Spielberg Josh O'Cnor Emily Blunt in Cleman Domingo Four of the three of the main cast members missing was Colin Furth from the film And we got to watch a panel in a very intimate setting where maybe what twenty of us were in attendance other film creators Rise, who's a great film creator hosted a panel which lasted about twenty five minutes. And then we got to do audience Q and A where four people were selected based on the questions they submitted to ask a question to Stehven And I was chosen to Steven S Fielberg withith a microphone. thirty feet away from him, not even five minutes and it was it was just a never I'll never forget that experience or you know, chatting with him like that. It was just it was so special Yeah, it was a fun experience in U I know that There are people out there who think that when we get to do things like this, it influences our opinions on movies But it doesn't and we didn't get paid We really genuinely enjoyed the film, and yes, B things can be true. We can have a great experience and go to a cool event but still also adore a film. and that's what happened here. becausecause if we didn't like the movie, we'd be still pretty honest about it. Um, in terms of the sci fi I was so impressed with They're like James said inccredible elements and sequences in this film where It's kind of like it reminded me of Scorsesei with Kills the Flower Moon and capturing images and sequences that We're still like new like There's shots and killers that I'm just like He's still creating new imagery that's never been captured before. And Spielberg did that in this film withithout spoiling anything. there are a few sequences in this movie. One in particular where I was just like, it's so brilliant. it's so well designed. It's such a great concept And you can see you can absolutely tell like, oh, this is one of the sequences where I'm sure when he was dreaming about this film like This is this big set piece and one of the reasons why I want to make this film to be able to capture this on screen. But on top of that, With any Spielberg film comes his remarkable blocking in filmmaking and incredible use of wonders and dynamic camera movements and complex blocking of actors and really just he just does what he's always done the mind he has for crafting sequences, whether they be dialogue sequences or whether they be huge bombastic action scenes He still is one of a kind and really the greatest in terms of moving the camera and actors and scenes. And it's great to see this cast and it really is, you know, a cast of some of the best actors alive today. So obviously Eily Blunt Josh Oonn Coman Ding are the big names Colllin Furth is out standstanding in this film and then Eve Houston rounds out the main cast in an amazing role, someome of the best work she's done in her career. But I got to say The absolute standout in this film is Emily Blunt And the buzz about her performance is already big on social media because they' There was the screening we went to and then there was a screening the morning before And all the early reactions from us and the likes of people who went to both those screenings have been praising Emily's performance and It's really about like you know, Emily Blunt is an actor who has so much control of her instrument and so much incredible talents That is highly precise. And in this film, you see in the trailer she does these in that big scene. she's New weather newews anchor and The aliens are in a way communicating through her. In that scene, you see in the trailers where she's making these strange clicking sounds That's barely scratching the surface of what else she does in this movie we won't say anything, but The range the character is given on the page allows for Emily to really showcase an acting talent and ability that very few actors, even in the highest levels of success have that Emily has. And she did all the vocal performances herself. There's a great video that Universal posted of her and Spielberg in the recording booth and she's doing all those that's cool. She's doing all the clicking sounds right there. It' none of it generenerated, none of it's done with effects or filters. She does all of it with her instrument of her vocal chords in her range as an actor. and Absolutely One of the best performances ever in a science fiction film Speaking of science fiction This movie is a landmark for Steven Spielberg, a personal landmark and achievement. He's made at least one science fiction film in every decade that he's been an active filmmaker. And you could argue he's one of the he's the best science fiction filmmaker of all time. His first was Firelight in nineteen sixty four Close encounts of the thir kind of the third kind nineteen seventy seven, ET the extraterrestrial nineteen eighty two, Jurassic Park nineteen ninety three The Lost World Dric Park ninety seven, AI Artificial intelligence in two thousand one, Minority Report two thousand two O of the worldld's two thousand five and ready Player one twenty eighteen. He was on a fucking run in the two thousands of him. He's been on a run his entire career And those are just the science fiction films. And this one will be as lateest science fiction movie and I adore it. And you know, what could be fun is if people don't follow us on Instagram or TikTok, they might not see the content that we got we got there. So why don't we take a few minutes and we'll play When I got to speak to Stehven And I got to ask him a question. I talked I asked him about blocking and camera movement and how he comes up with the techniques, of whether they're collaborating or improvising on set or it's pre plananned And he gave an incredible answer. Emily also butted in as well. So please enjoy this four minute bit. of me talking to Steven Spielberg First of all, my brother and I were starting our show We needed a title and we went to Our favorite film of all time we came up with Raers of the Lost podcast. So thank you for There we go know're filling our life with films. Hopefully you don't want residuals. I'm always impraalled by the blocking of the characters and the camera. know whether it's S Priory revising a lot on set or a movie like this is it more a pre planned? or is it kind of like face off storyboards on set they are youvising your blocking it? How do you create the magic of the characters camera synchronicity to create what we love so much about film Well, because this movie is essentially a chase from beginning to end, it's got some rest stops, but it's a chase. it's a double harness You go across your chest kind of an experience at the outset. It was really important to me that, you know the audience is going to see movement within movement within movement So even a car scene, I found car scenes kind of boring, but I had such reactors, they didn't make it boring at all they made it compelling. But I needed to be a participant in the car scene. and I didn't want to mount the camera a couple of places. I wanted the camera to continue the feeling of velocity and forward momentum. So I had the camera itself kind of roving around inside the car just answering your question with one example. that pretty much happens in every scene. When Margaret Fairchild gets to her TV station from home, that's all one shot And and Emily did that in only four takes, which was extraordinary. Eraordinary You know, and but it was it's momentum, It's velocity. It's she's something's going on, not just because she's a kind of cathinated weather reporter, but something's going on in here that she can't quite figure out. and she's sort of covered it up by just moving ahead like a shark doesn't stop where it ss. and you like trys so I get a shark. I hope you appreciate it that relentless relless So that's just sort of the part of it but I didn't storyboard any of those scenes. I storyboard scenes that obviously are action scenes, with cars, with trains, with chases because it's safety first. And if you storyboard these things, the entire crew and everybody knows what's required in each of the different apartments So we're all on the same page. just for safety, any big complicated action seen in this moie the storyboard, but so much of it with the characters and just you know the relationship parts of the story, which is throughout the story, that nothing was storyboarded. That was I wanted the actors to have their own ideas. onnce they got to know who they were, I wanted them to be able to say What if we did this instead of that? And so we all that's where it's a great collaboration. All phones need to be collaborations. weot always. And you really make it that way that none of us felt straitjacketed by how Stephen might have preconceived the scene and so the curiosity and what we felt on the day I think it gives your movies and certainly in my experience on this one, was just this wonderful aliveness, this wonderful intimacy, these found moments that were so like a real performance movie, not one where you're, okay, well, this is technically this is going to be this shot or even the onener we did You just allowed me to kind of wel it through that set and you constructed the shot around how I thought it could play and it was just so freeing and you don't find that always do true James, tell us about that beautiful poster behind us.

You know, I didn't know I was going to do it until thirty minutes before the talent arrived and the show started really then But also we weren nobody told us that the actors would be there. Yeah, I thought it just be Spielberg in a moderator And but there was four chairs, five chairs at the front of the panel. And we were like, to be sitting in those chairs. And then one of the TikTok reps walks up to me, just comes right up to me, hands me a card. like, Hey, here's your question for Stehven. You're going to ask a question. I'm like Fuck, you glass I need another glass of wine right now. And so I did have one And it was a lot of fun because I wanted to break the ice And I wanted to you know, to ease my nerves to make a joke. So I came up with a We named our show after Ra's Lost Podcast and hope you don't want any residuals I thought it'd be fun. good. I also wanted to emotionally connect with him versus just like, here's a question. I wanted us to connect with him, the show that we built, the love we've always had for Spielberg in his movies and what he's meant to us. justust I have a quick minute to bring it up. And I think connecting it to our show title was the best way to do it. and it was really cool to Now he knows we exist. Raiders of Lost podcasts finally met Stehven Spielberg. He joined our Patreon. So I wanted to connect with them briefly within the short time I had Um, but it was it was I wasn't really nervous. I was just more worried about fucking it up I guess that I don't know, I wasn't as nervous as I was with Ryan, for sure I was very excited. You didn't have two drinks before, right? If I didn't do I'm telling, if I didn't do Ryan Gossling, I would' have been probably shaken in my boots. I think he's easing my nerves, big time for talking the talent. Um, But I was just very grateful to be able to stare that man in the eyes and talk to him Yeah, he he really hasn't lost a stepman. This movie's as intricate and exciting as anything he's done and And well just to stay in real quick and it was great to hear Emily talk about how collaborative they are. And you know, we'll talk about when we do the full episode in a couple of weeks after the movie comes out, you know, they did so many great wonders, but my question about Are you improvising on set? actction sequences? he's storyboarding for safety, which makes a ton of sense. But Outside of that wororking with the actors to figure out the blocking, figuring out the camera movements. Emily saying that one of her big wners, which happens inside of the TV studio, she's a weather reporter, obviously. Great shot, great shot. her Understanding of the character in her interpretation of how the character would act That helped change Spielberg's direction in terms of moving the camera with what she would want to do and how she thought her character would move throughout the scene and act throughout the scene. allowing the actors to come up with their own sort of phhysical blocking and direction directing and collaborating with them on that process to create something organic on the spot That's the genius of Spelberg. Yeah, man. And it's him and Yanish just seeing their their work on screen is always a' always the delight because They still make movies the same way they always have for the past thirty years. The way that they approach it, the way they film, they're still using the same cameras,'t still using the same kinds of lenses S film stocks And so When you watch a Spiberg film, it's like revisiting an old friend And really, there's so few filmmakers where no matter what the movie is, when it's when when the production company and the company logo start, you're like, you're already you're in good hands. One of the best univers logos I've seen It's an old one. Yeah. It was awesome. It was It was a really great opening title for the companies. and I It was just like it just showed the iconography of Spielberg in a great way with Universal and Amblin were the companies that made this film And the way they opened the film with those two logos was it was like already like, this is already one of the best movies of the year. It was so cive justust from the tle. They did something really creative. It was universal and Amblin And he did some stuff Filmaking Wise he's never done before, which is really fun. We won't say what, When you watch the movie you know we're talking aboutike I was like, there are things in this movie that I was not expecting. I was like, o, this is this is so fun. Yeah, that's the magic of Stephven. And you know, we're not spolling anything here, but you know, you watch the trailer, you have some scenes we've seen a bunch of times characters getting pushed in a car from behind onto a train track and trying to survive. We've seen that a hundred times in movies, but the way Stephven does it is so unique. Yeah This interesting perspective of a creative genius, the way he blocks the camera, the way he blocks the characters and where he puts the camera. you've never seen anyone do it like him before. It was one of the most exciting moments of the film, I think. It was really cool. That was a show stopping sequence. It was There was several show stopping sequences in this. Bet the of the day also you know, Emily's fantastic. Josh is terrific as as a coite as well. Josh The biggest movie we's ever been in and we were listening to them in the moderang and he told a very funny a couple funny funny stories from the shoot And When he met with Steven, Stehven's like, ye, you know, you'll read the script and see if you like it and we'll go from there. And Josh is like, it's going be a yes. like seeee how I feel. It's going to happen. So he felt very grateful and seems like Stehven has like a modesty about him. defeinitely know what I mean? I think he ye. ye. I'm sure he knows he's going to say Steven Fuck is Fildelberg. Like of course, this fucking kid's going to say yes to my movie But still he's a very humble guy, it seems like. And what's so funny is Cleman Domingo is great in this film and through my last Before that, my three movie theater experiences were Michael Michael and then Disclosure D. So I was like enveloped by Coleman Domingo and he's really wonderful in the film. Everyone is Coin Furth too, one of Coling Fur's best roles Yes probablyably since the King's speech He has a lot to do with this character that he does. He's obviously when you watch the trailer, more of an antagonist than anyone else Um very sinister motive. I loved him as a villain. He was He was great as a villain. Terrific. Yeah And it was a nuanced and layered villain, though. It wasn't just like, I'm an evil bad guy. There was a lot of substance there and a lot of understanding of what his perspective is with the world. because this is a life, I mean, a world changing event that could happen if aliens are real and it gets disclosed to the public What are the ramifications of that? And there are multiple sides to every story of should you let that information out Would it create chaos? wouldould it create danger to society? or is it a right to every for everybody to know? Is it a right for everyone to understand that we're not alone in the universe? But then what does that have on the effect of belief systems? Not just on government and political systems, which have become belief systems nowadays, but religion as well, which the majority of the world are of our religion And how would that affect their lives? How would that affect everything they've believed in their entire lives to learn that they're not alone in the universe and that Earth isn't that special is just a part of an enormous infinite plane from potential God's will And I loved When Josh punched the alien in the face and said, Welcome to Earth. Well the fucker. And what is that sp out? Thatout. Oh wrong movie, lights a cigarette.orry a cigar. Oh yeah yeah, that's different movie. But at the end of the day though, let's get back into the film because it's good. John Williams Obviously, Steven got him out of retirement and Did the Fableman's, the West Side story before that Got him out of retirement for this And Stehven and John Their fortieth movie together, I think Really? And it's just magic. It's a lot of movie. think it's about forty. I don't know about forty is it? Oh let me double check. How many movies have they done? It's at least At least thirty nine. I guess it's twenty five Somet around twenty five Is that your final answer? That's my g. I say twenty four They have done Dude, I thought I saw it this somewhere w w wit w w w w we w we w w w w It's a lot It's a lot a lot thirty. Okay. I found it That was one founded in ten seconds. I was ten off. Um What was saying J just all the music John Williams It's as whimsical and inventive of as all of his science fiction films that he's done. You know, I felt like a combination War of the Worlds and his Indiana Jones screen music. I felt a connection to those specifically. and close encounters in a lot of ways. That one's pretty fresh in my memory. Yeah because Stilberg hasn't done like an action mov in a while. So we got got those feelings.ady playayer one' very much an action movie but Williams didn't score that. Yeah Um, so Yeah, John't done like a straight of action movie in a bit. you're right. Besides doing some opening themes for some of the starars rising Skywalker And I think Indiana Jones style of Destiny did the opening He worked on the maybe a little bit Did he do all of Dial din? No he didn't No, he didn't do. I think he just did the Yeah. Was it Markable Tuma or something? That was Dialal destiny Was't it a Jquina aybe let me double check. double check the one fact I sometimes pretend that movie doesn't exist. but John's fantastic and That was one of my most anticipated things about the film to experience was John Williams music because you know, he's ninety He did it John Williams Dial Destiny. Yeah. All the music. He's ninety two now I think. so We can only wonder how many more movies he's got in him ust so grateful to have him still working and to come out of retirement for this. but 's John Williams He brings so much to it in It's tough to even imagine a Spielberg film without John Williams involved in it at all, without hearing his music. So it was one of the happiest and most enjoyable parts of the film And he did some new stuff in it.. He did some stuff that he's never done before, I think. And experimentent it with some stuff. so But again it's really like It's the, you know, the instruments, the classic orchestra eighty what eighty eight piece orchestra or whatever it is that you know, And he always gravitates to certain instruments and certain kinds of woodwind, certain kinds of brasss. and when you hear those And the way he writes melodies was like he'll like to do melody with the French horn or like to do a certain kinds of melodies with woodwinds. When you hear those It's different melodies, but it's really the feelings what John Williams is as a composer. when you when you feel that while it's happening in the film, you just like you have a feeling of nostalgia because of all the movies they've done together. So that's another reason why I love the score in particular. It's great. I want to touch on something that you brought up earlier that connects to an Instagram video and TikTok video we made a few days ago about legally blonde and how that movie just looks great compared to today. It looks better than most movies out there in the last ten years that have been made, especially the errow in right now And the clip killed It wass a great clip, but we talked about people look like people, look normal, but also you talked about the lighting in that clip and how You know, harsh lights, great texture. You can actually see everything. Yeah. Long a large depth of field. a lot of stuff's in focus Um That's how Stehven's always shot. likeike you said, it's like seeing an old friend when you watch the Steven Spielberg movie with Jan is shoot Bright lights Tons of flares But it feel it feels real because the sun's pouring in through a window from outside or The headlights are glaring into the lens and brightening your vision 'causeuse that's what's supposed to happen. Not everything's perfectly diffused and perfectly lit, and soft. Even inside the TV studio there's really interesting lighting. So one of my favorite parts of the film is the lighting. and how creative they always are with their lighting Jonas and Stephven, where to put the light, how to make it shine through windows, how to get flares going organically. What was really Sad we're friends with so many of the film creators we go to events Oh God yeah. After after the event, I was chatting with some of the some of the younger ones And someomeone said I was talking about the lighting in the Lens fers and they said, Yeahah, it's like a JJ. Abrams movie. and I was like Oh I was like I don't want to that guy, but Steve JJ. Abrams influenced what Dougielber does with Spielbert like Spielber' first So JJ does what Spielberg does. because they've only seen Star Wars I know that's what I mean. And so they looked like Star Trek in Star Wars and a new hope. They broubed Star Trek. St exactly what they said is they said it looked like Star Trek. and I was like It's cool that you noticed that, but listen, like JJ Like Stehven is the model. JJ's awesome, but it's like he doing a Spielberg impersonation a lot of times with with the lighting. So Nothing wrong with that, but It made me, uh Maybe sad They've never seen my Norder report. Well, they probably have only seen like maybe Indiana Jonessan. It is what it is, you know, happappy to be there. Happy to be there. But I don't know what I would have say sometometimes I was just I was very nice about it. what did you say do you remember I said that. I was like, you know, just so you know, like Stehven was first, like that's his style that JJ was very influenced by for his movies S parade or Star Trek and going forward They're definitely not gonna to watch Disclosure day pllays with it so much. More obviously I think more creatively than he has recently, you know, when you look at a movie like Close Encounters, that's a movie that explores light is shining into the lens quite a lot with bright lights everywhere. The ships are extremely bright They're literally surrounded by lights and by bulbs and the headlights in that film flashlights, but I think disclosure Day Hemin Yaminski really explored using light in unique ways, creative ways, like they always do It's just so fun to see because no one makes movies like them. So when you watch this movie, you're going to be like, oh, this is what movies used to be like, right? This is what is That's what Anthony meant, I think, when you said it felt like an old friend when you're watching evenven it's the first time you're seeing this movie, it feels like an old film. And like just like all of his movies, rather than getting a bunch of coverage of all the traditional angles, he would he'd rather prefers to Move the camera in different positions to capture different moments of a scene All in one take and He's he's so brilliant at like two of them are able to do as a filmmaker and cinematographer, And they have such a great synergy in in workflow where They' and the camera's not moving for no reason. They're able to make the audience feel feelings with the way the camera is moving in and how the frame change how they move into a certain frame for a certain reason at a certain moment. whether you're revealing a character or trying to express a feeling or tone that the characters are experiencing U Or just a really cool way to to shoot an action scene Um There's so many shots in this movie where I was like only Spielberg knows It has the instincts. It's really his instincts to move the camera in this way into there's a there's a wner I won't explain what it is or why it's happening, but It's a great shot where it's like four different angles are are created And four different images essentially are created from the movements to the camera And the way it ends is just like it was a character reveal and I'm just like Oh, what a great way to reveal your character. L it's just it's so genius and so brilliant, but also It's so simple too And it's not They're very complex shots, but it really comes from a simplicity standpoint of you know, how do I just capture the feeling with the with the camera moving And there's a lot of films this year where the cameras haven't been moving that much and then so watching Spielberg Kaminski movie is like just You know, Amazing Characters are great The writing from David Kepp, who's a longtime collaborator with Stehven great screenplay story based off Stehven Wyatt Russells also in this movie. He's really good, really funny. He's got a great character. him and Emily Blunt have great chemistry together and they' They do. Yeah do. They feel like a real couple. Every And then Josh and Josh and Emily have great chemistry too. But Eve Houston really blew me away. Yeah, she's a really great. I forgot she was in the Nick. Yeah, she that was her first project was the Nick and She's had a consistent career, but this is going to be a big movie for her because she's ot a lot to do in it and she has some very emotional scenes and she absolutely destroys it Um it's it's it's an action sci fi movie that's filled with great performances too and really great characters that You to sink from each other. They're all well developed. They all every character of the main lead. so Emily Josh Coleman Eve and then Colin, that's the main cast They all have great three dimensionality each of them And it's hard to pull off with an ensemble. Generally you'll focus on one or two leads and really build their characters All the actors bring so much great dimensionality to their roles And it's really like there are scenes in this movie where it's just commanding actor powerhouses of actors just bouncing off each other in amazing ways. It's very much a chase movie like Stehven explained in our clip with him Ands movie gets going right from the beginning. So get locked in right away.cott suchuch a fun and clever opening scene Yeah that really It takes a microscope to Our culture and things that We fight about or act about and the way we treat each other in such a silly fun, simple way to really just say show you M while you guys are all fighting about this over here, this is what's happening behind the scenes. Yeah. This is what's really important and you're all stuck, you're all consumed and you are all loocked in your ways, but There's more to this And this really, I think is what the movie explores in general.bsute It is a great metaphor for distraction in the powers that be really making decisions behind our eyes. In the shadows really. is really clever I don't want to say too much more. We just want to get you all excited It's going to be the best movies of the year, hands down. I wouldn't be surprised if Emily Blunt gets nominated and potentially wins an Oscarsar. She'sv. If she didn' win for Oppenheimer, she she should win for this. She's sensational great great takes over the movie and grips it and never lets it go. once it's hers. She's outstanding All of the incredible vocal work that she did in her own is so impressive. People are going to be posting clips about her on social media like mad when this comes out. Just wayait to see what she does with this role. It's unbelievable. So much emotional depth. So she so good, made my heart
