This is a criminally underseen Messed Up Movie and we hope you will join us in celebrating this lovely little flick.

You're going to want to hear this. We're revealing all the secrets of Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day here on New Movie Monday! 
Griffey, Heath and Sam had a lot to say about this one and in full disclosure... it's not very good. What kept us from falling for this latest alien effort by the king of sci-fi himself? How about a significant lack of aliens for starters. Join the pile on as we point out all the plot holes, corny dialogue and plain bad storytelling in Disclosure Day.
Logline: If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?

Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell

Today Griffey and Dandino hop a jet to a billionaire nightmare in Blink Twice. They cut into the film's weaponization of real world rationalizations often used to defend scumbags, how the movie uses time and repitition to keep the audience entranced just like the ladies, and the epic finale where evil is unmasked and tossed on a short leash. This is a modern Messed Up classic that we hope you enjoy with us. 
Synopsis: When tech billionaire Slater King meets cocktail waitress Frida at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. As strange things start to happen, Frida questions her reality.
Starring: Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Alia Shawkat, Christian Slater, Haley Joel Osment, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Geena Davis, Kyle MacLachlan
Directed by Zoë Kravitz
