As the Autobots make contact with the Maximals for the first time in this week's big theatrical release, we're getting in touch with extraterrestrials of a different sort this week with 1997's Contact, directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt and James Woods, based on the book by Carl Sagan. It's a pick out of Hayley's collection this week, scooped up on the cheap out of a discount bin at the mall. Plus: J Mo raves about Across The Spider-Verse, while Hayley is left fuming by the Ted Lasso finale.

If you'd like to watch the movie, Contact is streaming on Starz in Canada at the time of publication.

Tune in next week when we'll be talking all about the Robert Altman classic The Long Goodbye with friend of the show Travis Woloshyn!
