Super 8.

Running Time: Running Time: 1 hour 53 seconds

Many people in Hollywood got started by making movies with their friends in their backyard and J.J. Abrams was no exception so when he got the opportunity to work with his muse, Steven Spielberg, he created a story that mirrored some of their experiences from childhood.

In this episode of The 602 Club hosts Matthew Rushing and Christy Morris welcome Andrea Coffman to talk about Super 8. We discuss it being an homage, the mystery box, dealing with loss, creating fear, forgiveness, fresh faces, the score, our ratings and recommendations.
