Episode #28 - Contact

Jackie: “As with Matrix Reloaded and the Exorcist, I found this office in a pile of DVDs my boss was getting rid of. I grabbed it because I grabbed everything that wasn’t the first season of Sex and the City.”
Andy: Does it really take 30 years for radio to reach Jupiter? (0:01)
Oscar: It’s like a screen saver.
Andy: “Billions and billions of stars…” (0:03)
Andy: Woah, Jena Malone. (0:05)
Oscar: “By the way, dude, you’re getting a Dell.” (0:12)
Oscar: Wait, is he supposed to be blind?
Andy: Uh, yeah.
Jackie: Yeah, I haven’t seen that and I figured it out.
Oscar: I…
Jackie: I figured that out 30 seconds into the movie!
Andy: The seeing eye dog and the cane didn’t tip you off?
Oscar: I didn’t see the dog… and I thought the cane was an affectation.
Andy: Dude… (0:16)
We’re quietly observing.
Oscar: They’re using Netscape! (0:43)
Andy: Rob Lowe!
Oscar: Woah. Totally forgot he was in this. (0:56)
Technical difficulties! Standby… our disc is destroyed, but we really want to finish this now that we’re an hour in. Oscar is running to find another copy. Be back soon.
We’re back! And friends Aaron, Greg, and Bethany have joined.
Andy: “McConaughey!?”
Aaron: “I’m into all flavors.” (1:19)
Jackie: This is kinda ridiculous. I don’t think this is how it would go. (1:27)
Jackie: This whole movie is Jodie Foster being treated like crap. (1:28)
Jackie: Wait, where did we see that guy before?
Andy: At the gala reception.
Jackie: Oh! That creepy guy.
Oscar: That was Gary Busey’s kid, Jake Busey.
Aaron: “We’re going to need someone really creepy. Call the Buseys.” (1:35)
Aaron: Why would they issue hats like that?
Andy: “Are we not space-men?”
Aaron: “We are actors.”
Andy: “Are we not space-men?”
Aaron: “We are actors.” (1:47)
Hey, friend Matt arrived!
Quietly watching the end of the movie.
Oscar: Tucker Smallwood and Maxamillian Martini
Jackie: In Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens! (2:23)
Aaron: As a scientist, I have to concede that I didn’t see half of this movie. 18 Hours of Enjoyment.
Greg: The ending of this movie wants me to read pages and pages of poorly-written fan fiction about what happens to her afterward. 43 New Dishes
Stacey: Static shouldn’t be that interesting. Makes me want to play with my old walkie-talkies again. 1 Really Fricken Huge Satellite Dish, That Andy Says Is Owned By Cornell
Jackie: Despite technical complications - pretty good movie, although now I have to throw away my copy. T’AHRS! (and thirty minutes)
Andy: It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen this movie, and I did appreciate all of the nuances I got now that I actually have the intelligence of an adult. Makes me want to read some Sagan. Billions and Billions of Stars
Oscar: I have to hand it to the makers of this movie, to get such an awesomely eggheaded film to summer blockbuster status, that I saw when I was twelve. 1 Lesser Busey.
Bethany: I only saw 15 minutes of it, but really, I saw 18 hours. It never ends. 1 Waste of Space
