This week comedy writer River Clegg (The Onion, The New Yorker, The Opposition with Jordan Klepper) steps into the Mothership for the first time to watch the Steven Spielberg classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind. 

Join us as we discuss how the film changed science fiction, how Spielberg is both hugely successful and vastly underrated, the many different versions of the film and much more. 

Follow River on Twitter and check out his latest humor piece for The New Yorker.
