There they discover a strange pyramid with remnants of a group of Engineers. Last week we celebrated Alien Day 2023 with a look back at Ridley Scott‘s 2012 Alien prequel, Prometheus. In the film, scientists Elizabeth Shaw ( Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway ( Logan Marshall-Green) partner with the Weyland Corporation, run by its elderly benefactor ( Guy Pearce) and supervised by his android “son” David ( Michael Fassbender), to investigate the origins of mankind on a distant alien world. Trace and I are recovering from our live show at Salem Horror Festival this past weekend, but in April we kept busy with episodes on Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Tony Scott’s The Hunger, and, most recently, queer Black writer/director Bill Gunn’s Ganja & Hess (which just celebrated its 50th anniversary!)
