Description
Dave, Colin and Marcus are back to tackle Steven Spielberg's follow-up to Jaws, the 1977 smash hit Close Encounters.  Colin loves the film due to seeing it as a kid and listening to the John Williams soundtrack.  Marcus is also a fan due to his own obsessive need to sculp things out of mashed potatoes.  Dave has only ever seen the film twice and while he enjoys it, after watching it recently with his kids, he questions if it's truly a masterpiece (as in the "top 10 sci-fi films of all time"). Everybody agrees, Roy is no longer worth of his "world's greatest Dad" mug, on account of his decision to make out with strange women and abandon his family.
