Episode description
In this week's episode, we're looking to the skies with Explorers (1985), a beloved 80s adventure from Joe Dante, and Contact (1997), Robert Zemeckis' thoughtful sci-fi hit. Both films explore the idea of receiving help—or perhaps communication—from above, whether it's young kids building a spaceship with unexpected guidance in Explorers, or a scientist making first contact with extraterrestrial intelligence in Contact.
Join us as we dive into these fascinating stories of cosmic communication.
