Time for a new podcast episode!
Steven Spielberg's classic UFO movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind could have been very different. In today's episode of the podcast we dig into the rejected early script for the film, which was written by Paul Schrader (famed screenwriter of Raging Bull and Taxi Driver).
As well as reviewing this film-that-never-was, we have a sci-fi quiz, plus our usual run through of recommendations of past/present/future science fiction.
We hope you enjoy the episode!

- Kingdom Come, the original draft script by Paul Schrader for the Close Encounters project (click here for PDF download)
