Just as was prophesied in our previous encoded message, we're back with another Book Club (which we have rebranded on-the-fly to Media Club) to cover the sci-fi movie Contact, directed by Robert Zemeckis. It's a movie that inspired Iris' character, Haley Holst, and she's joined by Fabby, Crystal, and Maxie to talk about its cool cinematography and visual effects, messy handling of religions and skepticism, and downright infuriating romance subplot.

(Hi folks, Luke here. We've had some scheduling conflicts this month, which have unfortunately kept us from getting an episode of Playlist recorded. We initially recorded this for the $10 tier, but we've decided to release it on the $3 tier instead as a mea culpa. Enjoy!)
