In 1982, a wrinkled, candy-loving demon landed on earth, and soon became one of the most beloved fictional creatures to ever spawn from the silver screen. Yes, this week, we're talking about E.T.: the extremely beloved feature film that proved Steven Spielberg could basically make any kind of movie—and make it a hit. And, of course, there's a little Atari 2600 game worth discussing as well; it's indicative of what caused the video game crash, but not entirely to blame. So pound some Coors just like our friendly alien pal taught us, and get ready for Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Diamond Feit to explore the world of a terrestrial who's very extra.

Apparently Spielberg was PISSED that the E.T. was closed in Universal Hollywood without even telling him, and threatened to break all ties with Universal if they closed the one in Orlando.

Given Bob and Henry have talked Aqua Teen elsewhere, I’m surprised nobody brought up that the original idea behind the Mooninites on Aqua Teen were that they were ghosts of video games in that Atari landfill.
