Doing my every other year Lost rewatch and my God Jack is such a shitty doctor.

Shannon has asthma attacks? Girl you're having a panic attack, this is all in your head.

Claire assaulted in the night? Silly hysterical pregnant woman, you're hallucinating. Oh whoopsie, you've been kidnapped.

I'm sure he was a shit hot surgeon but I never realised he was one of *those* doctors before

It makes perfect sense that, on the big Entertainment Weekly cover for Contact—a movie supposedly about a love so cosmic it transcends time and space—Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey look less like star-crossed lovers and more like they’re auditioning for a Gap ad. Forget selling romance; they’re selling denim.

It makes sense because for 27 years, one thing has united Contact fans and foes alike: Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey have zero romantic chemistry. Like, none. But as someone who will happily defend this movie until the end of time (or at least until we make contact with intelligent life), I’m here to tell you—it doesn’t matter.

When Carl Sagan wrote his novel in 1984, he wasn’t crafting a rom-com; he was asking big, messy, existential questions. By the time the film premiered 13 years later, the world had changed, but Contact was ready for it. It wasn’t just about aliens or wormholes; it was about us—our politics, our belief systems, and the tricky dance between science and faith. The shadow of Reagan’s trickle-down economics and Jerry Falwell’s moral crusades lingered over the story, giving it an edge that feels eerily relevant today.

Forty years after Sagan dreamed up Ellie Arroway and Palmer Joss, we’re still having the same debates. Science versus religion. Fact versus faith. Head versus heart. And it’s no accident that Ellie and Palmer—played by Foster and McConaughey—physically embody these opposites. They’re like magnets pushed together the wrong way: they don’t stick. And honestly? That’s the point.

Think about it—some of the most compelling pairings in pop culture thrive on this kind of tension. Fleabag and the Hot Priest, whose connection is as much about God as it is about desire. Jack Shepherd and John Locke on Lost, whose debates about faith and logic had life-or-death stakes. Contact isn’t trying to be a steamy romance. It’s asking bigger questions. It’s about two people whose differences elevate the story, not derail it.

So, no, Ellie and Palmer won’t sweep you off your feet. But maybe, just maybe, that’s the secret sauce. Because while Contact isn’t the most romantic love story of the ‘90s, it is a love story—between humanity and the cosmos, between inquiry and belief, between us and what lies out there. And in a world that still struggles to reconcile science and faith, that feels pretty romantic to me.
