-> ''We’re back with more [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]] and his adventures on Earth! Pitr does an interpretive dance! Andy procures an orangutan! Joz learns what disarming means! Jon subjugates the mind of the leader of the free world!''
Episodes 24-25 and 28- [[note]] The players took a break for two episodes to make room for an campaign based on Film/{{Alien}}. This is the first - and thus far, only - time something like this has happened in the show.[[/note]] of Podcast/FilmReroll.
Stranded on a foreign planet, the alien known only as E.T. makes contact with the local civilisations. Moving in with a trio of siblings - Elliot, Michael and Gertie - who hide him from their parents, E.T. and his newfound friends must figure out a way to get back to his planet and his people. But who is E.T, exactly? And should they really stop the goverment from getting their hands on him?
Starring Jon Miller as E.T. Andy Hoover as Elliot and Dan Edwin, Pitr Strait as Michael and Ana Kopas, Jocelyn "Joz" Vammer as Gertie and Jake Rauhe, and Paulo Quiros as the Dungeon Master.
----
!!Tropes:
* AdaptationExpansion: Paulo created an elaborate backstory for E.T. describing who he is and what his ship was doing on Earth, which he initially shares with Jon but not the other players (or the audience). Part of it is revealed in the opening scene -- E.T. was deliberately stranded on Earth, not left behind accidentally -- and more starts coming out in the second episode after E.T. learns enough English to explain himself.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Michael believes in the creatures from TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons, and in the HollowEarth theory, but refuses to believe in the existence of aliens.
* BaitAndSwitch: When two government agents visit the school after Michael is sighted with E.T., one announces that they are Agents Smith and Wollensky, and the other immediately drops into an impersonation of Agent Smith from ''Film/TheMatrix''. It is subsequently established that the second speaker is Agent Wollensky.
* CallBack: When Agent Smith's first name is revealed, the players express surprise that it ''isn't'' Jeff, like several law-and-order-related [=NPCs=] in earlier episodes.
* CensorshipBySpelling: Michael is concerned that the worst might have happened after their mother was taken into custody by the agents, but he doesn't want to set Gertie off, so he spells it out: What if she's D-E-D?
* ClosetGeek: Michael's biology teacher is implied to be one of these. He claims to be very familiar with TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons due to having played it frequently during his childhood. Even though he's old enough to have been an adult when it first came out.
* DecoyGetaway: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] When the gang runs into the agents, Elliot manages to distract them by saying "That's not the real alien! That's a decoy!" It confuses them long enough for our protagonists to escape.
* DecoyProtagonist: Michael, Elliot and Gertie end up becoming this. Part way through the second episode they are reunited with their mother and written out of the story. The players are instead given control of [[OriginalCharacter three members of the research team trying to help E.T.]]
* EntertaininglyWrong:
** E.T. initially thinks that cars are living creatures, though he figures out that they are vehicles pretty quickly. (The players still joke that the car speak to each other in a honking language, and that the ones with sirens are party animals.)
** E.T. also believes that [[PornStash the pictures in Michael's closet]] are [[ExpospeakGag "biological diagrams of human anatomy" depicting "A very, very focused review of one particular kind of behaviour."]]
** Michael - who is a big fan of [[TabletopRPG Tabletop RPGs]] - believes that E.T. is not an alien but rather some kind of creature from TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons. When he sees E.T. blow a car apart, he becomes completely convinced that the alien is a "githyanki." (It doesn't help that he is high as a kite at that point.)
** When several trucks full of goverment agents show up at Michael's house, he believes that they are there to confiscate [[TheStoner his weed.]] Gertie, meanwhile, wonders if they are having a surprise party.
** Michael plans to steal one of the agents' cars, but E.T. misunderstands him and and crushes its windows with his telekinesis instead. This actually ends up working out pretty well, since it distracts the agents even more.
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers: E.T.'s telekinesis and mental-connection powers are explained as being the result of him having spent years as a monk in a contemplative order before being drawn into his people's struggle.
* EpilepticTrees: InUniverse. The players take a moment to discuss the conspiracy theories about whether or not [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurfette]] is actually biologically a boy ([[AmbiguousGender and what this would mean for her gender identity]]), if the characters from Franchise/StarWars are actually bugs, [[FridgeLogic and why there are taxi cabs]] in the Franchise/{{Cars}} universe.
* FanonDiscontinuity: InUniverse. Paulo Quiros makes it clear that the campaign is based on the original 1982 film version and that the 2002 special edition is non-canon.
* HumansThroughAlienEyes: E.T. himself is treated like the primary protagonist, giving us a glimpse at how alien humans and their world appear to him.
* {{Namedar}}: During a conversation between E.T. and one of his alien colleagues in the opening scene, it's revealed that according to the backstory Paulo has created for him, E.T.'s name actually is (or at least is pronounced very much like) "Eetee". This gets an incredulous reaction from the players. Averted in-story, however, as the children in this version aren't able to agree on their mysterious visitor being an extraterrestrial, so decide instead to call him "George".
* NamedByTheAdaptation: The man in charge of the search for E.T., who is never named in the film, gets a name in the second episode.
* ProductPlacement: The product placement in the original movie is referenced when the subject of E.T.'s favorite Earth food arises, and the players ask Paulo to rule on whether this version of the story is set in a continuity where it's Reece's Pieces (as in the film) or M&M's (as in the novelization).
* RightfulKingReturns: [[spoiler: E.T. turns out to be the heir to the throne of his people - the Baedelorians - marooned on Earth. His ultimate plan is to [[InvokedTrope invoke this trope.]]]]
* RunningGag: Gertie saying "I am four." It happens so often that [[https://soundcloud.com/sean-williams-259/ger-t-the-four-year-old-part-one the other players start to wonder]] if she has a OneWordVocabulary.
* ShoutOut:
** The players compare the description of Michael from the original screenplay [[note]]"Michael, Elliot's older brother. Fourteen, tall, lanky. Yearning for and nearing the rites of men: cars, women, power!"[[/note]] with Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio's character in ''Film/TheWolfOfWallStreet''.
** Possibly a coincidence, but the kids decide to [[AndCallHimGeorge call E.T. "George".]]
** One of the agents interrogating Michael's biology teacher is named "[[Franchise/TheMatrix Smith.]]" This is immediately [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded.]] Another reference to Franchise/TheMatrix is made when E.T. uses his telekinesis to knock over several agents.
** The other agent is named Wollensky, making them [[http://www.smithandwollensky.com/ Smith & Wollensky]].
** After getting sidetracked into talking about an ImagineSpot, one of the players drops an appropriate quote from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' ("We were talking about chocolate?" "That was ten minutes ago.")
** When E.T. takes Michael's hand and flies away with him, Pitr Strait asks if they can have a [[Film/SupermanTheMovie "Christopher Reeve / Margot Kidder-moment" and starts singing "Can You Read My Mind?".]]
** When E.T says that he wants something to read, the players suggest the next book in the Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire series.
** While flying through the air on their bikes, Jon Miller's accent [[OohMeAccentsSlipping starts slipping towards the UK.]] The other players then wonder if Series/DoctorWho just showed up.
** After Gertie tries and fails to imitate E.T.'s telekinesis, Paulo mentions that he'd considered giving her the psychic powers Drew Barrymore's character had in ''Film/{{Firestarter}}'' but decided against it.
** When Gertie starts nagging her brothers about being hungry, they say that they have to [[Film/{{Gremlins}} feed her before midnight or she'll turn evil.]]
** While discussing what they can get to eat for the money they have, the players note that at least it's 1982, so the money will have more buying power, and reference the RidiculousFutureInflation in ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII''.
** When given new characters, the players suggest that Joz should still play a four-year-old and be "the [[Series/DoogieHowserMD Doogie Howser]] of the FBI."
* SmarterThanYouLook: It turns out that E.T. - [[AmbiguousDisorder a character some viewers have interpreted as mentally deficient]] - actually is an {{Omniglot}} with a very high IQ.
