Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. are grabbing their tinfoil hats and looking to the stars for their review of Steven Spielberg's highly anticipated sci-fi thriller, DISCLOSURE DAY.

Starring heavy hitters like Colman Domingo, Emily Blunt, and Josh O'Connor, the film tackles extraterrestrial contact, government secrets, and what happens to humanity when the intergalactic tea is finally spilled. Tune in for their hella honest verdict: is this close encounter a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?"

Ray also channels the power of Grayskull with a quick capsule review of the nostalgic, sword-and-sorcery reboot, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE.

Plus, the hosts play a special "Canon Cousins" edition of the Black Cinema Games, highlighting iconic movies that share the same alien encounter thematic bloodline as Disclosure Day. Finally, they close the show with Good Vibes Only, sharing what's bringing them joy this week.
