Our blind spots, seen via vintage sci-fi movies

If you haven’t seen Ridley Scott’s 2012 blockbuster Prometheus, well, no need - Lisa will essentially narrate the entire film. But consider seeing it anyway because it’s her favorite movie! And it has something to show us - not about the future and/or creation - but about what we miss in our contemporary lives.

In this episode we’ll discuss -

• Dating someone with full body alopecia and it’s implications for how you may or may not respond to the big bald aliens in Prometheus
• Women’s wear in space - when is a kitten heel warranted? Has anyone culled through Stanley Kurbrick’s journals to get a sense of how he responded to the invention of Keds?
• The dynamics of being hot in space - when is it acceptable to have discussions about being barren? Should you consider finding a casual fling in order to stay on the ship during “make contact with aliens” outings?
• What we would do in space - we’re definitely not planning to be apart of afore mentioned “make contact with aliens” team, right? Like we’re more suited for high level big picture stuff, right? Or if not that, basic janitorial work - right?
• In defense of death - hear me out…what if it’s not as bad as we think? What if the whole idea of “saving” oneself from death is as silly as saving yourself from being born? Please note that we’re not testing any of these theories.

Silly little ding dongs is hosted by Lisa Lorraine Carson, a sci-movie junkie with a vendetta for how Ridley Scott decides to use his precious time left on this planet. If you are reading this, Ridley, you need to get out a piece of paper and a pen and start WORKING on wrapping up the narrative loose ends in the Prometheus franchise or so help me god…
