In this out-of-this-world episode, Stevie asks Deanne, “Where were you in 1982?” (Spoiler: She was 9 years younger and possibly still playing with Barbies). What starts as a nostalgic trip back to E.T. turns into a surprisingly deep dive into divorce, blended families, friendship, and what it really means to “phone home.”

From flying bikes to emotional goodbyes, the grandparents unpack the emotional core of Spielberg’s sci-fi classic—and yes, they do get teary-eyed (but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of laughter and a few jokes about glowing fingers).

Perfect for grandparents, film lovers, and anyone trying to explain to their grandkid why this movie made them cry... again.
