Steven Spielberg is 79—turning 80 the week before Christmas—and we’re marking the moment with our first-ever guest: Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One, the book Spielberg loved enough to turn into a movie. Together, we’re looking straight at Spielberg’s return to UFO storytelling with Disclosure Day, opening June 12—a film he teased at CinemaCon with a line that feels like a dare: “I believe this movie is going to answer questions and this movie is going to cause a lot of people to ask a lot of questions. All you need to get from beginning to end is a seat belt.”

From there, the episode becomes a three-way conversation: Bryce lays out the big question—after 30+ projects involving alien contact and non-human intelligence, is Disclosure Day Spielberg’s “closing argument,” and what does that even mean? Brent pushes the pattern-recognition angle, arguing that Spielberg’s contact stories track the cultural temperature of the moment—wonder, fear, paranoia, secrecy—and that Disclosure Day is arriving at a time when the public is finally ready to ask harder questions. And Ernie brings the inside perspective: what it’s like to collaborate with Spielberg up close, why his curiosity about the unknown feels genuine, and why—whether this new film is “truth,” “fiction,” or something in between—Spielberg may be the one filmmaker who can make the entire world lean forward at the same time and say: Okay… so what now?

Has the U.S. government been conducting a slow-drip UFO disclosure campaign through Hollywood movies and television for more than 70 years? The new podcast Sound, Light & Frequency tackles that mind-blowing question through an ongoing investigation hosted by two Hollywood insiders: Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, both successful writer/producers with hundreds of credits. Bryce and Brent publicly share, for the first time, the full account of their surreal encounter with a “Man in Black” who offered them a deal to use their primetime alien-invasion drama series, Dark Skies, to spread UFO truths. Each episode takes listeners behind the scenes of iconic films and TV series, connecting what’s been portrayed on screen to what might be happening in real life—and asking whether other creators were offered “the deal,” too.
