LISTEN TO THE PLUGGED IN SHOW, EPISODE 102
The movie industry is all about making fantasy into what seems to be reality. Ever since 1902’s A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès, films have tried to take us to imagined worlds, imagined times and imagined realities. And they spare no expense doing so.
Case in point: Two of the year’s most anticipated films, Dune and Eternals, are both sweeping science fiction titans in their own ways. Dune is based on (the first part of) Frank Herbert’s landmark sci-fi novel of the same name. Eternals comes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Bbut in this case, it takes its “universe” quite literally—sprawling across time and space.
Both, like a lot of science fiction flicks, delve into bigger issues. Faith and spirituality are a big part of what these movies explore—in very, very different ways.
We unpack both movies during this episode of The Plugged In Show and dig deeper into why sci-fi flicks often blast into not just space, but spirituality too. And speaking of alternate worlds, Adam Holz talks about The Forgotten City with our gaming expert Bob Hoose.
So strap yourself in and count down to takeoff, will you? We’ll explore strange, new topics. Seek out new laughs and new points to ponder. Go boldly where no podcast has gone before. (Oh, and you can check out everything we talked about in the show notes below.)
And while you’re here, let us ask you a couple of questions: Have you seen Dune and/or Eternals? What did you think? What other “big” questions did the move ask? Answer below, or go to Facebook or Instagram. You can also email us at [email protected] or call us at 800-A-FAMILY.
