Review of 'The Age of Disclosure' Documentary: UFOs, Government Secrecy, and Lack of New Information

Documentary Overview and Initial Impressions

• 💡 The documentary "The Age of Disclosure" is reviewed, with the hosts noting the significant hype surrounding its release.
• 🎯 Many viewers expressed excitement, but the hosts found that the documentary largely rehashed information already discussed on their own podcast and in the public sphere.
• 🔑 The film is described as a "beginner's guide to disclosure" or a "recap of disclosure" rather than presenting new revelations.

Criticisms of Lou Elizondo and Documentary Content

• 🚀 Lou Elizondo, a central figure in the documentary, is criticized for portraying himself as a hero while also being the documentary's creator.
• 👕 Elizondo's attire, particularly his ill-fitting shirts, becomes a recurring point of humorous critique.
• ⚠️ The documentary's opening with the "Tic Tac" UFO encounter is noted as a well-known event, suggesting a lack of novel content.
• 🚫 A significant point of contention is Elizondo's past presentation of a lampshade as a UFO to Congress, which the hosts believe undermines his credibility.
• 🖼️ The use of reenactments and potentially misleading visuals, such as a fake missile-UFO video, is highlighted as a flaw.

Themes of Secrecy, Beliefs, and Government

• 🧠 The film touches upon programs like AATIP and the challenges faced due to the stigma surrounding UFOs.
• ✝️ A segment discusses the "Collins Elite," a group that allegedly believes UFOs are demonic, reflecting a religious or fringe perspective within government circles.
• 🇺🇸 The documentary implies that the US is the only superpower where such public discourse on UFOs is possible, raising questions about foreign states potentially using loopholes to extract information.
• 📉 The idea that governments might release misinformation to discredit the UFO cause is discussed, with Elizondo himself being labeled a "useful idiot" in this context.

Lack of New Information and Credibility Issues

• 🧐 The hosts express disappointment that the documentary offers little new information for those already familiar with UFO lore.
• 💰 The $25 rental fee is questioned, as the target audience (those already interested) likely already knows the content.
• 🗣️ Whistleblower protections and the role of figures like Marco Rubio are discussed, with Rubio later distancing himself from the documentary's portrayal.
• ❓ The documentary's claim that the US President might not be fully informed about UFO matters is debated.
• 🚀 The concept of "legacy programs" is introduced as potentially new terminology but is seen as a rebranding of "deep state" concepts.

Future of Disclosure and Skepticism

• 🌌 The hosts are skeptical about genuine disclosure coming from current figures within the UFO community, suggesting it will not happen through government channels.
• 👽 They believe that any future disclosure would likely be something the public already suspects or knows, rather than a grand reveal.
• 📉 The "Tic Tac" UAP sighting is seen as significant disclosure because it acknowledged unknown technology, implicitly suggesting non-human origins without explicit confirmation.
• 🚫 Ultimately, the hosts conclude that "The Age of Disclosure" is more of a recap and offers little new insight for dedicated followers of UFO topics, with credibility issues surrounding key figures like Lou Elizondo.
• 💰 They suggest that viewers save their money and revisit older podcast episodes for similar information.
