Prometheus, Asteroid City, & Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
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!
