Disclosure Day, Master of the Universe, Glenrothan, Under the Skin

🎬 Tonight on Celluloid Dreams! 🍿 Airs Wednesday | 7:30 PM | 2SER 107.3 ✨ New Releases: Lewis, Gaby and Evan tackle a trio of new releases this week. Master of the Universe brings the beloved 80s cartoon to life on the big screen. But can a property born in the toy aisles and Saturday morning television of the Reagan era become a box office hit in 2026? Veteran actor Brian Cox steps behind the camera for his directorial debut Glenrothan, starring alongside Alan Cumming in a distinctly Scottish tale of family, friendship and homecoming. And Steven Spielberg returns to one of his favourite genres with Disclosure Day. Following in the tradition of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T., Spielberg once again asks one of humanity’s most enduring questions: are we really alone in the universe? 🎥 Have You Seen It? Last week Gaby challenged Lewis and Evan to watch Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin. This week we compare notes. Did Scarlett Johansson’s unsettling sci-fi masterpiece get under our skin, or leave us out in the cold? Lewis is throwing down the gauntlet for next week’s viewing with 17776, the cult multimedia storytelling experiment that asks a simple question: what happens when humans become immortal and American football never ends? If you’d like to join the conversation, consider this your homework. 📻 Tune in at 7:30 PM on 2SER 107.3 for new releases, spirited debate, and another round of Have You Seen It?
