Episode 68: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Ice cream! Regular Game Night contributor Brian Kofford joins us to talk about the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the fact that this movie arguably doesn't have a plot at all and Willie compares it to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Does that make the movie age poorly as a result? Plus, at first it may seem that the whistler guy who says he's seen Bigfoot during the Air Force press conference is a complete non sequitur but we realize that he may have single-handedly made the entire last half of the movie possible, we'll explain why and first time watchers might've missed the reason how Roy gets sunburned on only half of his face. Hint: The alien spaceship is involved.
