Disclosure Day Theme: The Vast of Night (Hidden Gem) and Knowing (You Gotta Respect It) Koji and Andrew Patterson return to You Gotta Love It and announce a new themed-episode format tied to Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day,” pairing the hidden gem The Vast of Night with the “you gotta love it” pick Knowing. They catch up on life (Andrew finishing an MFA and moving back from New York; Koji watching movies with his nearly six-year-old and collecting 4K discs), then discuss The Vast of Night as a slow-burn, Twilight Zone–styled 1950s UFO mystery with real-time dialogue, long takes, and themes of ignored voices (teens, Black characters, the elderly). A new “Shelf Respect” segment spotlights Jordan Peele’s Nope on 4K; Andrew recommends Canadian sci-fi horror Cube. They break down Knowing (2009), its disaster set pieces, fate vs. choice, religious symbolism, and divisive ending, rate it “you gotta respect it,” note its box-office success, play “love it or leave it,” invite listener suggestions, tease future episode ideas, and close with thoughts on whether aliens exist or could be imperceptible.
