😅 Just listened to a friend's podcast on Alien: Romulus, which was very funny in one way, because he and his cohosts are big Prometheus fans (and one hasn't even seen Alien 3 or Resurrection), so their complaints about Romulus not reaching for "the sublime" or being as "ambitious" in adding to franchise mythology just solidify for me why the film works so well as a return to form. Looking forward to recording my own thoughts on it soon.
@MLClark I’m inspired to host a podcast that discusses other podcast discussing other podcast.
It's podcasts all the way down, Canis! :)
But no - I'm not going to focus on "reviewing" the film, exactly. I'm going to focus on craft lessons from the piece for YouTube, then reflect a little on the different representations of the working class in Alien and Alien: Romulus for Monday's newsletter.
But it's fun to hear the POV of people who love parts of the series most don't. (I love a good dissenting opinion!)
@CanisPundit @MLClark Definitely a working mom.
