Ep16 - Alien Prometheus (2012)

In this episode, we dive headfirst into Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012) — the bold, divisive prequel to the Alien franchise that asks some massive questions about creation, humanity, and our place in the universe. We break down the film’s themes, the mysterious Engineers, Michael Fassbender’s unforgettable performance as David, and why Prometheus continues to spark heated debates among sci-fi and horror fans years later. Is it an underrated sci-fi masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire that asks better questions than it answers? From jaw-dropping visuals to baffling character decisions, we explore what Prometheus gets right, where it stumbles, and how it reshaped the future of the Alien universe.
