'Close Encounters of the Third Kind': Films of 1977

This week, Jeff and Dave discuss ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’: Films of 1977 as part of our “Random Year Generator” series, chosen by our random year generator. Since we are a drinking podcast, we get the drinks flowing with a few gripes about dance teachers vs. stage managers, therapy commercials, and how to exist in society. After that, we discuss the film year 1977—the box office, awards, culture, and some world events before discussing our film. What did we remember, what did we forget, and how did we feel about this rewatch? Grab a beer and join us!
