đď¸ Today on the Kingdom of Dreams podcast, weâre diving deep into Steven Spielbergâs War of the Worldsânearly 20 years after its release.
Joining us for this conversation is film historian and author James Clarke, whose work on Spielberg and modern cinema brings rich perspective to the discussion.
This film often gets overlooked in conversations about Spielbergâs legacy, but itâs a fascinating pieceâvisually bold, thematically urgent, and emotionally raw. Together, weâll explore what worked, what didnât, and why this post-9/11 sci-fi thriller might just be one of his most underrated films.
Whether youâre a longtime fan or seeing it through fresh eyes, tune in as we re-examine this dark, chaotic, and surprisingly intimate alien invasion storyâand consider its relevance in todayâs world.
James Clarke is a British author and film producer known for his books on cinema and influential directors, including Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, and George Lucas. He was shortlisted for a BAFTA for producing the short drama Space Dance and is recognized for his clear, insightful writing on film history and visual storytelling.
