In this week’s episode of the AIPT Movies podcast, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Ridley Scott’s prequel to his own 1979 masterpiece, Alien, the somewhat controversial sci-fi horror film, Prometheus!
A fantastic and hauntingly hopeful musical score! A stacked cast that includes Michael Fassbender in one of his greatest roles! Incredible production design and cinematography! A horrific self-surgery scene for the ages! A surprisingly timely warning about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence! A movie that may have been viewed as a modern classic if not for the baggage of a connected franchise! Is this yet another example of the folly of de-mystifying the enjoyably mysterious? Is the exploration of humanity’s hubris, and insatiable desire for more, perfectly told through a technically unnecessary prequel? Listen now to find out!
In addition, Matt and Alex share their spoiler-free thoughts on Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny!
