We're kicking off new year with an all-time favourite! Robert Zemeckis' Contact from 1997.
There's so much going on in the movie, where do we start? Freda is rude enough to mention Fourier transforms, Abby tries to hear what the Universe (or maybe Pulsars) is trying to say and we play tribute to Arecibo.
I like it's bigness!
