Does this film make you laugh? Make you cry? Leave you wanting more? Join Jim and A.Ron as they discuss Tarantino’s funny film about the least funny people in history, the Nazis. This film features a legendary performance from Christoph Waltz, who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Hans Landa. Tarantino asks the question, “What if WWII wrapped up a year early?”
Jim and A.Ron have seen Alien: Covenant, and declare it to be gorgeous, ambitious, and filled to the brim lofty ideas, but that it’s also really, really stupid. Which is a shame, since that’s a flaw that mired it’s predecessor, Prometheus. Ridley Scott still knows how to shoot a film, no doubt, but has he forgotten how to put smart, sharply defined characters in peril without them being the dumbest, pettiest humans alive?
