KnockBack, Episode 116: E.T.
Added 2020-04-30 18:06:35 +0000 UTCThis week's episode of KnockBack is a special one, not only because of its subject matter -- the 1982 Steven Spielberg smash-hit film E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial -- but because our guest host this week is none other than Dagan's wife, Helene. E.T. was, is, and will likely always be one of the most seminal movies ever created, and it's because it has what so many other pictures all-too-often lack: Heart and imagination. There's a good reason why, for more than a decade after it launched, it was the highest-grossing film in the history of the industry, and why -- nearly 40 years later -- it remains a seminal piece of Americana. So sit back, hit play, and don't phone home. At least, not until you hear what we have to say.

2020-05-12 21:49:30 +0000 UTCGreat episode! E.T. is one of my favorite movies. Seeing it in the theater is one of my first childhood memories. Those who weren't kids back in 1984 don't realize how special this movie was in showing us a reflection of ourselves. Dagan eloquently picked up on this topic as the kids in E.T. could've been any of us. I've always thought this was Spielberg's best film.

Ryan Murdoch
2020-05-02 02:23:26 +0000 UTCThank you. I'll be back in the mix this week. Dagan was kind enough to offer and had a plan, so I let him do his thing. =)
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-02 00:22:23 +0000 UTCThanks!
Colin Moriarty
2020-05-02 00:22:10 +0000 UTCI wish it was more realistic for us to do shit together in person, but it's so much easier to do it from afar, and a lot more manageable, too. I personally think the show has gotten better since we've been remote, but understand not everyone may agree.

2020-05-02 00:06:18 +0000 UTCIt's crazy how good Dagan is especially since he's been doing this for just over barely over two years.

2020-05-02 00:00:51 +0000 UTCThey starting talking about ET around 0:49:30 if anyone cares

2020-05-01 19:14:09 +0000 UTCLove Helene!!!!!! Gotta say it feels good to have the banter that comes from people in the same room!
Andrew Christensen
2020-05-01 15:35:24 +0000 UTCAmazing episode ! Helene did amazing. What a talented family.
Anthony Longo
2020-05-01 09:49:25 +0000 UTCThanks Dagan and Helene. Despite my terror described above, Knockback is always a pleasure and your effort is very much appreciated. I’d love to hear more from the both of you, especially as it relates to properties that Colin might be a little young to have experienced during their first run/debut.

2020-05-01 08:50:31 +0000 UTCwell done dagan and helene thanks for the show it was awesome. hope all is well and hope colin takes it easy

2020-05-01 06:24:40 +0000 UTCI came for Colin but Dagan is my anchor.

2020-05-01 05:35:47 +0000 UTCDude. Dagan is such a great lead. And it was a pleasant surprise to have Helene on. This must happen again!
Will Hahn
2020-05-01 02:44:42 +0000 UTCET is fucking terrifying. Nothing scared me more as a child. It was also the first time I remember seeing hazmat suits, and combined with the cinematography and music, all of those scenes had me waking up in terror countless nights throughout the 80’s. I still find the movie disturbing at 38 and will never recommend it for children.
Ryan B.
2020-05-01 02:32:40 +0000 UTCWhoa! Well isn't this a pleasant surprise. Wasn't expecting this. 🤘🏽
Marcus Brown
2020-05-01 02:08:18 +0000 UTCHearing Chris talk about Star Wars makes me feel like he should be a guest on a knock back episode. I would LOVE to hear all 3 of you discuss literally anything.

2020-04-30 23:15:39 +0000 UTCHelene’s story about a weird E.T. Christmas essentially because her mom assumed they loved E.T. is what KnockBack’s all about
Caleb Greer
2020-04-30 22:40:14 +0000 UTCGreat episode! Thanks for coming on Helene
Brogan Trull
2020-04-30 21:28:02 +0000 UTCAnother Spielberg magic type film.
Andrew
2020-04-30 21:28:01 +0000 UTCI really like the new segment but I think you should try and find some quotes that are more controversial or less agreeable to mix in there. Loved the pod, and great job Helene!
Ryan Harvey
2020-04-30 20:08:12 +0000 UTCHelene’s Last Stand will be great. Hope her PlayStation podcast is just as good.
Brandon Soto
2020-04-30 20:00:00 +0000 UTCDagan is too good for this harsh world. We must protect him at all costs! Keep up the good work!
John Fazio
2020-04-30 18:54:48 +0000 UTCDagans first stand!! The man the legend
John Fazio
2020-04-30 18:34:31 +0000 UTCSuper neat! Looking forward to listening. Interested to see how Helene meshes with you two.
