Alien Truths, Government Secrets: Dan Farah Talks The Age of Disclosure

Dana and David kick things off with the big stuff: the potential Netflix–Warner Bros. merger—and the very bold text David sent Ted Sarandos about it. Then they sit down with director-producer Dan Farah to unpack his hit documentary The Age of Disclosure, the SXSW standout that went on to become Amazon Prime Video’s highest-grossing documentary ever. Farah walks the guys through the filmmaking process, the questions that still linger, and which films—like Close Encounters and The Abyss—surprisingly get the phenomenon right. And don’t miss the lively “Buzzing Around” segment after the interview. (You can check out Dan's doc at https://www.primevideo.com/detail/The-Age-of-Disclosure/0NVVP9AVUZEJKG9CJC4RQE9J27).
