Prometheus

Join me as I join John Pavlich of Sofa Dogs and Faldor of the Extended Edition podcast for a thoro drubbing of Ridley Scott's Prometheus. It's the heartwarming tale of an old man trying to recapture his youth and getting his head handed to him. But enough about Ridley Scott. We examine the themes and complications, the plot twists that don't quite work, and the way the film repeatedly works against itself with their echoes of religion and the other Alien movies, as well as Stargate, Return of the Jedi, and Casablanca.
