In this episode on Phoenix Cinema Podcast, we delve into Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' and Olivia Wilde's 'The Invite,' exploring their storytelling, performances, and technical aspects. Join us for a candid review of these films' strengths and flaws, and what they reveal about modern cinema. Disclosure Day is Spielberg returning to his sci-fi roots with his favourite collaborators and let's just say that we do not all agree with this one. The Invite is the new dramedy from Olivia Wilde with a great cast and a premise based on a Spanish play. This is a good film but once again, we have different opinions about the approach here.
