Starting point is 00:01:29 now that we've gotten that, excuse me, I told you. Still a little lump in my throat. I had a lump in my throat. The last 40 minutes, I mean, Spielberg knows how to get encapsulate that,

Starting point is 00:01:39 but really quickly, because we do have a lot of questions. Yeah. Just really quick thoughts. What did you think of the film, Jackie? I think that this is one of my favorite movies of all time now. I think I'm going to go update my litter box top four. And I don't know.

Starting point is 00:01:54 I felt like my main takeaway is I kind of feel like the entire film is sort of, I guess, an allegory for childlike wonder. an innocence, especially when ET at the end points to his forehead and says, like, I'll always be right here. And I don't know, especially the fact that his dad left, too, it felt like a lot, like, oh, sorry, I heard something. I'm distracting.

Starting point is 00:02:16 You're good. Yeah. And it just, I don't know. It really, it, for me, it was one of those movies where it was a very transformative experience and I feel like I'm walking, I'm going to walk out of it with a much more open heart. I'm going to start crying. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:02:30 No, just thinking about it. It's definitely emotional. Yeah. I can definitely see why this is, Hale is one of Spielberg's greatest films for sure, and he's done so many incredible films. I've mentioned it so many times that Jaws is one of my favorite movies ever, but this is definitely a testament to the power he has as a filmmaker.

Starting point is 00:02:49 And not only what he's able to get out of the act, out of the children, I mean, their performances are so, especially Drew Barrymore was incredible. The kid who played Mike, all the other kids. The kid who played Elliot, Henry Tom. Sorry if I forgot his name, but he was so believable in this role.

Starting point is 00:03:07 He was incredible. Incredible. Every scene. Such a range, too. The emotional vulnerability. And I like the parallels, too, that we feel between him and E.T. I mean, they are both very isolated and just going, I mean, E.T. is literally stranded on this planet.

Starting point is 00:03:23 And then also, too, as you mentioned, when it comes to Elliott, his father has just recently left him and his family. So they're both going through, you know, lonely. us right now and then they find something uh they find they form a bond and a friendship and they they capture something that really you know allows them to to that's gonna you know something that's going to leave them you know that's going to keep their heart shape for the rest of their lives. uh so it's a it's a really believe i think the the thing that i really appreciate it also so much in this film is you know when you're watching et the puppeteering feels so real it's it's oh my god yeah i mean

Starting point is 00:03:59 you've got an alien to i'm not convinced that they didn't get a real alien. Seriously. That's the incredible part of this film is, you know, you haven't, they're portraying an alien right now, but it's so believable and so real when it comes to the puppeteering, but the friendship with Elliot, that's the heart of this film.

Starting point is 00:04:19 That's the part that feels the most real. And the bond that they form is unbelievable. There's many other things that I'm going to mention as well when we, I'm sure that the questions will capture, but I do also want to mention, too, that I love the cinematography in the film, the way that Spielberg is able to pace the film. It's a really good job of giving us, too,

Starting point is 00:04:40 when it comes to the cinematography, I like how he shoots a lot of low angles, almost like he's giving from E.T.'s point of view or from the children the way they see the world. And I love to, when it comes to John Williams' music, I think you said it earlier, it's very whimsical and very adventurous, very uplifting, such a memorable themes.

Starting point is 00:04:57 I remember that time in film where you could just hear a thing, theme or hum it and you knew exactly what movie was from whether it was back to the future whether it was this or jaws whatever it was or batman danielphins batman it was such a a beautiful and wonderful time in films when you could just know hear a little bit of a hum of something and know exactly what movie it was from and john williams music the way he's able to go from really uplifting to knowing those moments when to hit you uh with sadness as well his music really elevates the film in each scene and it does And also he knows when to pull back to. Because when you have that moment,

Starting point is 00:05:33 Elliot is just heartbroken as we are the audience when we think ET really might be dead. He turns off the music and lets you feel the moment with the actors and with the puppet being fully off. So just incredible from everyone. I mean, it really takes a village to make a movie or to make a TV show. And everyone was incredible in this film across the board.

Starting point is 00:05:57 Gosh. I just want to say, too, I'm sure that it's going to, I'm sure that we're going to get there in the questions, but just the way that the three of the children were so isolated and alone and so closed-hearted. And I feel like they just ended with such open-heartedness. And I felt like E.T. kind of representing like that empathy and that willingness to find the wonder and the beauty in life. It was just very, it was very, very, very touching. Yeah, definitely.

Starting point is 00:06:30 I mean, like underneath. And they end so together and they all work together all three days. I think you said it best. Like underneath like this sci-fi alien film. Like it's really a representation of wonder and being uplifted and compassion and empathy. So there's so many themes here that Spielberg just explored and executed so beautifully on. So it's just an incredible film. And also two really quickly, and we're going to get right now to the questions, I think what a streak Spielberg was on.

Starting point is 00:06:59 too. He did Jaws. Then he did, I think, Close Encounters of the Third Kind was right after that. I believe he did 1941. I saw it so long ago. I don't think it was really hailed in one of his upper tier films. But then after that, I believe he did Indiana or Raiders of the Lost Arc. And then what a freaking hot streak. And then the rest of his career. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. But that's why he's Spielberg. But yeah, incredible streak, though. Anyways, we've got a ton of questions. So we are going to get to them. And as mentioned earlier, If you join us on our Patreon, we shout you out individually, and you can ask us questions. We appreciate you.

Starting point is 00:07:35 Let's get into it first with Care Bear. Beyond its contribution to the world of film, E.T. is also famous for having one of the most successful product placements in cinema history. After Eminem's turned down Spielberg, feeling the alien with scare kids. Yes, I agreed with you. The then little known Reese's pieces stepped in and doubled their sales almost overnight. I could see that. Question. How would you compare ET's product placement with the more blatant branding scene in movies, TVs today? Did seeing a product on film ever make you purchase it? That's a great question. That's a great question. Also really interesting fact. Yeah. I mean, I think for me, as long as it's not fully always in your face, like, I think the product placement in this film was pertinent to the plot. Like he's using them to lead a breadcrumb so that ET can can get to his house.

Starting point is 00:08:29 house and can find him. So it's, it's part of the plot of a VT coming home, whether it's like him getting drunk because they can, because they can communicate and they're like bonded and linked together. So as long as it's not in your face and then they're selling it in that way, it's part of the story, I don't mind it as much. And I get it a lot of times with films or TV shows. They, they need that, that product placement money to help with the budget. So I guess, but I don't know. Like the first example that comes to my mind is if you saw the recent season of nobody wants this the product placement in that was so it just was very irritating because it was so obvious they're like we're going to have chick filet now and it felt like almost Truman show-esque you know I know exactly what you know exactly

Starting point is 00:09:15 yeah I've never seen this is a show yeah I have Kristen Bell and Adam Brody's oh I did hear about that show they I saw the trailer for that and it looked pretty good but um I I know exactly what you're talking about where it's just really in your face as opposed to something that should just feel more natural that the characters are doing. And it's like, oh, I want Reese. I want RIS-M-N-M's now. Yeah. But did ever seeing a product or film ever make you purchase it? I will give you a very random, weird example really quickly.

Starting point is 00:09:47 D2 the Mighty Ducks. There's a scene in there where they're trying to get, Luis Mendoza, I believe, is the character. They're trying to get them to breakstop and not knock over the cans. there's a cherry Coke in there from back in the mid-90s. I wanted to have a cherry Coke right after I saw it. Just because I love the way the, how it was, how they branded it back in those days, how it looked rather in the mid-90s. But there's a rare example.

Starting point is 00:10:10 Is there a specific movie or TV show that made you want to go product placement that made you want to purchase it? Not that I can think of off the top of my head. I feel like, I don't know. I'm more emulate like fashion when I watch films. I think it's less about like, oh, I see this thing and now I want to buy it. Although I will say that I really do want some. Reese's Eminem's. And I think you said it best too.

Starting point is 00:10:30 I'm sure that Eminem's watched this movie. It's like, what did we do? No. Why did we not do this? And it's Spielberg. So anyways, thank you so much, Carabar for the question. We appreciate you. Reject Nation, we're back with another shout out for DC Studio Showcase, the official podcast.

Starting point is 00:10:46 Of course, co-starring fellow reject, Coydandra. I actually just finished watching their episode with Millie Alcock, where they're, of course, talking about Supergirl. And to me, it is, is a perfect example of what makes Frankie and Koi such a great pair. Because as a lot of you guys know,

Starting point is 00:11:01 Corey brings that sharp comic and film knowledge, you know, deep trivia, heady analysis, energetic vibe, masculinity. While Frankie, she brings this like empathy and sincerity and emotional connection. And it's this balance of intellect and empathy that I really feel like makes their interviews special. Often two different yet similar perspectives that truly respect each other. And so to have this DC Studios podcast that covers everything for like D.C. Studios. for the comic films and TV shows. To have these two at the helm, I think it's just such a great pick.

Starting point is 00:11:31 And like last season, they had huge guests like the cast of Superman, James Gunn, and Jim Lee. And now, of course, with Millie Alcock already out, season two is going to be stacked. They got more coming from Supergirl. They got Clayface lanterns. So you can expect interviews from like Supergirl director Craig Gillespie. And of course, you know, Lobos, Jason Mamoa. Where they're going to be sharing onset stories, personal insights, and how they bring these characters to life. Plus surprise guests pop it in all season long.

Next question is from Just a Girl 3 to 9. Hi, Jackie and Andrew. I hope you both are doing well.

Starting point is 00:12:24 Hello. Thanks for reacting to this movie. It's one of my favorite films. What was your favorite moment between Elliot and E.T? And then also, what would you do if you found E.T? Would you do what Elliott did? Or would you call the authorities? I would do exactly what Elliott did.

Starting point is 00:12:37 Thanks for everything you do on the channel. You guys are great. I really appreciate you. This was a good time. XOXO.XO. Lisa. I would absolutely also keep E.T. My favorite moment between the two of them? That's difficult.

Starting point is 00:12:53 I know. It's really hard. That's, I feel like this wasn't a favorite moment that was necessarily between the two of them, but just the scene that's before Halloween where Gertie had dressed up E.T. I just thought that was so sweet. I don't know. And it just perfectly captured the essence of childhood for me because I remember trying to, you know, dressing up my little brother and stuff.

Starting point is 00:13:17 I like that. Yeah. I am in full agreement with you that I would also, because he's so damn adorable. I know that's the word I probably overused the most in the stream. Actually, I couldn't help it. Like, they did such a good job of making him so cute. I would also want to keep him. But when it comes to what was my favorite scene, can I say all of them?

Starting point is 00:13:34 Am I allowed to say that? Yeah, you can say all of them. If I had to pick one moment, I mean, the uplifting scenes where they're just really bonding with each other, those moments really encapsulated. I mean, but I think the dramatic scene that really stood with me the most is when you really think he is going to kick the bucket. and he severes the connection with him. And then, you know, we've gotten to this point where Elliot,

Starting point is 00:13:58 he's lost, not he's lost his father in the sense of he's dead, but he did abandon and leave him. And then E.T. is not doing the same thing, but he's allowing him to live and severing the connection in that way. So like the poetry in that, it's really sad, but it's really upliftingly sad in a way. So I thought that was, it just really beautifully encapsulates. the friendship that they have for each other and what they would what they would do for each other because i feel like too if elli was put in that position he would save etes life and i think that was such a good representation of what they would do for each other so i think that moment stood out to me the most as a as such a young child going through the loss that he just experienced with his father i feel like it was hugely beneficial for him to experience loss soon after in a different way you know so that it doesn't get cemented in his brain that all loss is a big

Starting point is 00:14:51 betrayal like loss is just it's a it's a necessary part of life unfortunately kind of loss sure there's different kinds of it yeah well said absolutely so i think that that one is a mistake that that first question from her from oh uh oh this one oh yeah uh yeah that's from maris gray jr but he did ask a different question so well we'll go to that one we'll skip the minions one all right marice gray junior thank you so much for being a royal reject and the other uh to ask the question as well uh we appreciate you and appreciate you asking a question. E.T. It's been years since I watched this, but it still holds up as a classic, in my opinion. Agreed. How do you compare the special effects here to what they do nowadays? Side note,

Starting point is 00:15:34 anyone remember the god-awful Atari video games based on this movie? Yes, I am Atari 2,600 years old. I don't think I ever, if I did play Atari, I don't remember. It must have been a young kid. I started playing video games and I still own an NES and I still have an S. NES and above those systems. So I did not get to see what the Atari, $2,600, or I said $26,000. The Atari, I did not get to see what it looked like. I'll have to YouTube and check it out,

Starting point is 00:16:01 but I believe you. How do I compare the special effects to nowadays? There's definitely a couple of visual shots that you could probably would make an argument a little bit dated when they're floating up, but I don't care because I'm so damn invested in the story and the characters and the movie so character driven. But I will say the use of practical and stop motion is so well done.

Starting point is 00:16:20 that, and those are my favorite kinds of effects, are practical. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, and I've always said, too, even though there's really not, there's no CGI in this film. When it comes to today, I don't mind using CGI. It's just, I just like it being blended between CGI and practical. As long as you can blend the two and I think Spielberg did it best. No spoilers for Jackie. When it came to Jurassic Park, the way he was able to really blend practical and CGI,

Starting point is 00:16:47 that's when I think there's a good marriage between the two. But in this movie, it's pretty much all. practical and some stop motion here and there. And when Spielberg is doing that so well, it keeps the illusion going on that I'm watching a real alien interact with human beings. So I thought it was done so well. And I think it holds up very nicely, even 40 so years later, whatever it is. What about you?

Starting point is 00:17:07 I'd agree. I mean, I just, I always prefer the use of practicals because I feel like with modern movies, you'd think that the CGI would have gotten better. But I still feel like for me personally, sometimes it just. really takes me out of the film. So I thought this was amazing. I mean, I was talking the whole time about how he looked real

Starting point is 00:17:26 and how his, the puppets acting. Like, I don't, I am amazed at what they were able to do. I have not. Really amazed. I agree with you. I've not looked it up. I got to imagine the special effects or Stanway, whoever it was, I think it was Stan Wins.

Starting point is 00:17:40 I got to imagine they were up and won an Academy Award for this film. It was so believable. It was insane. Yeah. Thank you so much. Maurice Gray for the, Jr. for the question. We appreciate.

Starting point is 00:17:50 Moving on. All right. We have a question from Nikki Sonrisa. Nikki says, Hey, Andrew and Jackie, I hope you enjoyed the movie. E.T. is one of those iconic classic films that most people know something about

Starting point is 00:18:02 even if they've never seen it. Is there a moment or moments from the film that you think contributed to it being such a big part of the cultural zeitgeist? Now that you've seen it, will you be adding it to your personal list of must-see classic films? Well, yeah, you already said you were going to...

Starting point is 00:18:13 Yeah, I'm like, I'm adding it to my letterbox top four. I mean, it's definitely going to be in... I know this is recency bias because we just watched it, but I don't care. I don't care. It's definitely in my top 10. It's in my top two for Spielberg, for sure, with Jaws. Jaws is always going to be in my top five favorite movies ever,

Starting point is 00:18:32 but this is probably going to be in my top 10 favorite movies. It's probably one of my favorite reactions I've ever done. I've, to get such a different array of emotions out of me from crying to uplifting, to laugh. Yeah, the humor in this movie was so good. The way they were able to balance that out. also being frightened and paranoid as well with the cover. I mean,

Starting point is 00:18:53 there were so many different things. And, you know, you talk about it, I know we mentioned it several thousand times. Like, just this movie inspired so much from stranger things to so many other different things. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:19:03 Um, it clearly contributed a lot. So, uh, but what about you, I mean, you said you're going to add it to your letter box, but,

Starting point is 00:19:10 uh, you said top four films. I think so. Yeah. I, I, I think, it's all subjective,

Starting point is 00:19:16 but I wouldn't disagree with that. It's just, it's, it's, it's, For me, it's also the message of the film itself that I just, this is an absolute must see because it's so optimistic in my opinion, you know? I would love to see this movie because I, with some of my friends, I rewatch movies now in theaters, older classics. I would love to see this movie in theaters.

Starting point is 00:19:39 Well, I was thinking that too with some of the movie was, you know, it takes place at night. It's darker and we obviously have to have lights in here so y'all can see us. but I wish so badly that it could have just been pitch black so that I could have totally just gotten sucked into the world of the film. Yeah, this must have been such an incredible experience back in Haiti to seeing this in theaters. Yeah, I doubt anyone with Shock Lake Spielberg hit another grand slam, but it must have been such a fun experience, though, seeing it in theaters. And then really quickly, before we move on the next one,

Starting point is 00:20:12 is there any other besides stranger things, anything else, do you think that this contributed such a big part of the culture? Still Project Hill Mary. For sure. That's a good one. And also, going back to the other question too, I loved the mimicking. And also any scene where E.T. and Elliot ran into each other and got scared, especially that one shot of E.T. going like this. I love that one. Such natural reactions that they were able to get from the puppeteering to the children.

Starting point is 00:20:38 That's why I said too. And you give credit to both the actors and Spielberg, the way he's able to naturally get that out of the kids. It's really incredible stuff. So, okay, we are moving on. Am I reading this one? Yes, I think so I read the last. Oh, wait. I forget. I think he did read the last one.

Starting point is 00:20:54 Okay. From Jaden Rhodes. Jaden, thank you so much for being a royal reject and for asking a question. We appreciate you. My memory of this movie has faded a lot over the years, but I definitely remember I'm being and feeling like a big warm hug until the end where they rip out your heart.

Starting point is 00:21:10 Yes. I am curious if you all agree with that, and how would you rank this against them? among some of the other Spielberg films. I completely agree with that. I completely agree with that. But then it's almost like, my heart was totally ripped out

Starting point is 00:21:25 when they were operating on him. But then in the goodbye scene, it felt like both gut wrenching, I'm going to throw up. I feel ill right now. I'm in physical pain. But also a warm hug at the same time because it feels like,

Starting point is 00:21:37 you know, Elliot and E.T. will always be forever a part of each other's stories and forever changed from the experiences that they had with each other. And that's that feeling of loss, right? Is that the happiness that it happened and the sadness that it's perhaps over for now, those two always coexist, you know, in true loss.

Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah, no, it's the way you look at it. When it comes to loss, you're very sad. I mean, there's always going to be that gaping hole in your heart, but the way you view it is, depending on your mindset, you still have you're still grateful for however long you had with whoever it is that you lost and you know that that that individual still lives with uh the memories that the good times and that those memories still live within you and i imagine that elliot and et are going to hold on to those memories forever i mean it's the classic saying of better to have loved and lost yeah then never to have loved at all i totally agree with you and uh yes this movie did a great job of of just we we talked about earlier like i for 3rd 30 to 40 minutes, I was almost speechless. And I don't think, yeah. We both got really quiet.

Starting point is 00:22:50 And I was like, I have nothing to say that I'm trying to watch the film. Yeah, no, like part of our job on here is besides reacting, we got to commentate a little bit too. But I mean, how Spielberg was was framing everything and what he was doing with the characters. It was almost, I had a literal, I had a literal lump in my throat. I was on the edge of my seat with like fully baited breath. I had, I could not speak. I was in awe. And that's how you know you're beyond immersed and invested in the film and in the characters.

Starting point is 00:23:20 And I felt like, too, as you just pointed out, I had my heart ripped out twice, not only when E.T. possibly died, but also because E.T. There was no point, I mean, not no point, excuse me, but there was no way that he was going to be able to stay on Earth with with Ellie. As much as we would have loved for that to happen and the government would not have stopped trying to hunt him down. And also, I don't know what the ramifications are if he would have been able. to stay on earth just health-wise, like with his body and all that. So I don't know how the science and minutia's of all that works. But in terms of from the government, at least even if he figured out a way, there's no way. They would have never stopped hunting him down. So, but yeah, it's, it's, it was just an incredible movie experience just to watch those two.

Starting point is 00:24:03 And the friendship that they formulated, it's just one of the most beautiful friendships I've ever seen on film. So, all right. Thank you so much for the question, Jaden. We appreciate you. Last two, moving on to... Great. Jay Rushden. Hello, Jay. Jay asks, what lines made you laugh for me? Oh, I'm trying that again. Jay asks, question, what lines made you laugh?

Starting point is 00:24:26 For me, it was penis breath and this reality Steve in the movie. Also, someone get Jackie Sheject official merch. Yeah. Yeah, we need to get... Yes, absolutely. Yeah, penis breath was a good one. Petus breath was great, but what took me out even more was the mall trying to discipline him but also laughing.

Starting point is 00:24:44 You know. Don't say that. You know what I thought was really funny, although I know it's kind of dark. Because he wasn't physically drinking alcohol, but seeing him kind of like in that days and drunk state and school. It was really funny. I thought that was pretty funny. It was really funny.

Starting point is 00:25:00 Because like I said, because he wasn't physically drinking alcohol, I would have probably had a different tune if he was physically drinking at that point. But his reaction, the acting from from the. from the actor playing Elliott was so good. I don't know how Spielberg elicited that response from him. And that was so damn. Like, both of them did such an incredible job getting that response. I know.

Starting point is 00:25:21 How did they get the actor? His eyes looked like they glazed over. How did they do that? Yeah, he was like, they just gave him shot. I'm just kidding. No, yeah. It's like, don't tell anyone. This is just water.

Starting point is 00:25:32 No, like, that was, that was pretty funny. I'm trying to think of a. Oh, I thought, I thought, too, when Gert was dressing a BT in, like, There was a lot of funny moments with her, too. And then the mom just being so oblivious and then ET walking, like in and out of frame. That was so funny. There was some really funny moments there. So I thought, like I said, I thought Spielberg did such a great job infusing humor, uplifting moments, dramatic moments, paranoid moments.

Starting point is 00:25:56 So he just brought every, every flavor. There was just so much in this movie brought everything. So, but you let us know in the comments, what were your guys favorite, our funniest moments, rather. and also what Jackie Sheeject official merch should we get? Grab the tissues, whatever it should be. Let us know. Okay, we have one final question here, or rather trivia. From Nikki.

Starting point is 00:26:22 Did we already? Yeah, she had a question. Yeah, from Nikki. So thank you for the trivia information you're about to give us. Drew Barrymore was six years old during the filming of E.T. She was so enamored with the E.T. Anamotronic that she would have conversations with him, between takes and the puppeteers would movie tea to help keep her belief that he was real.

Starting point is 00:26:43 She even once asked them to get him a scarf because he was cold. Adorable. I love that. I love that so much. Yeah, I got to, I get to. Seriously, this whole experience of reacting, I have watched the behind the scenes on Jaws so many times because I find that movie, the, the, the horrors. And what ended up the, the, the, the grand slam, as they say, that Spielberg ended up hitting after what he had to go through to make that, especially being a 27, 28 year old kid.

Starting point is 00:27:12 And literally everything was on the line for him. Like he might never have another job after this. And he came through in the clutch. But watching the behind the scenes on that movie was so damn fascinating. And I've watched it so many times. So I, after now experiencing this, which I haven't in 30, 34 years, whatever it is, I want to watch the behind the scenes. And this and hearing a piece of trivia like that makes me want to watch more. Yeah. Yeah. But that's that's such a great story. And I could see that. for sure. Especially, I can't believe Drew at six years old, that performance. That is incredible. That's insane. Yeah. But any final thoughts for we get out of here?
