Episode 186 - Prospect
Happy New Year film fans! On the first episode of 2024, we are ringing in the new year with a discussion of one of the more recent underseen science fiction films - Prospect. Made for roughly $4 million, Prospect, could be best described as a sci-fi/western, with fantastic world building and powerful performances. Sadly, with even a tiny budget, Prospect failed to make an impact at the box office. Thankfully, Vinegar Syndrome released an amazing 4K edition complete with some amazing special features. With the help of this podcast, maybe Prospect will find a second life. Also, we spend a little time talking about our listeners’ choices for the best/worst films of 2023.
Prospect is directed by Zeek Earl and Chris Caldwell and stars Pedro Pascal, Sophie Thatcher, and Jay Duplass.
