Disclosure Day (2026) asks a simple question: if you found out we weren't alone, would you want to know? In this episode of Beyond the Frame, Joe, Ryan, and Heidi break down Steven Spielberg's latest sci-fi blockbuster — but more importantly, they dig into the question buried beneath the alien footage: how do we determine what's ethical when it comes to withholding information from people?

I Love Boosters (2026) might be the most important movie of the year — and in this episode of Beyond the Frame, Joe, Ryan, and Heidi dig into why Boots Riley's wild, color-saturated, satirical fever dream is doing what almost no other filmmaker is brave enough to do: speak truth to power and make you laugh while it lands.

Starring Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, and Demi Moore, I Love Boosters is the second feature from writer-director Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) — a $20 million Neon production that has zero sacred cows and a whole lot to say. We unpack the satire on every level: luxury culture and how badly people want to feel "cool," celebrity worship and the bloviating of perceived geniuses, exploitation of workers, factory labor, and so much more. This episode is a conversation about why satire matters right now — and why filmmakers like Boots Riley, voices like Stephen Colbert, and shows like South Park exist as essential checks on power.
