Welcome to WWWW, where filmmakers revisit their favourite long, lost childhood movies. Film producer and writer Matthew B. Schmidt joins Will to discuss 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.Mattie is a very talented storyteller, so he has some terrific insights into the themes and metaphors Spielberg is playing with. We deep dive into the movie's history, talk about growing up in the 80's, commiserate over being children of divorce and ponder if this sci-fi classic is relevant to children today.
