Or: alien invasion of the nice kind. Then again, are these aliens as benevolent as people think? We have theories. Steven Spielberg‘s 2nd AFI movie makes for our 98th T100P podcast. Was this a worthy choice for the Institute to include on their list? Theories on that too! Check out ye ol’ Sparkplug Coffee, then tune us in for words about CE3K.
