**E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: Movie Magic or Childhood Trauma? | Scene It Differently**
A stranded alien. A lonely kid. A glowing finger. Reese's Pieces. And one bicycle ride that made an entire generation look suspiciously at the moon. 👽🚲🌕
This episode of **Scene It Differently** takes on Steven Spielberg's beloved 1982 classic **E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial**.
🎬 **Rocky, the Movie Enthusiast**, embraces the adventure, emotion, childhood wonder and pure movie magic that made E.T. a cultural phenomenon.
🍷 **Corrie, the Movie Snob**, digs into Spielberg's direction, John Williams' unforgettable score, the performances, storytelling and whether this childhood classic still packs the same emotional punch.
🛠️ **Harry, the Realist**, has questions. Why are these children apparently responsible for an extraterrestrial? How exactly does E.T.'s biology work? And at what point should somebody's parents have noticed what was happening in that bedroom?
Together, they revisit what makes E.T. special, what looks different through adult eyes, and whether one of the most beloved movies of the 1980s still has the power to make us believe.
**Are you Rocky, Corrie or Harry when you watch E.T.?**
