What was the first movie that made you cry? For Andy, he would say it’s the 1982 Science Fiction Family movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. In this Steven Spielberg directed movie (who is making his 3rd appearance on the show) we’re introduced to Elliot and his family as they try to get a stranded alien back home. While this movie is heartbreaking and heartwarming, the boys, of course, take a few detours while talking about the trauma this movie afflicted on Andy. For example, what is ET (if that is his real name)? Is he a mushroom? Is he high all the time? Why did he drink all those beers and did he do it intentionally to get Elliot psychically drunk? And where does this movie even take place - corn fields and redwoods side by side?!? The boys are ready to dive into these questions and more!
