So I’m revisiting Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece to talk about Karl Marx, cosmic horror, and what happens when the universe -- and your employer -- couldn’t care less whether you live or die. And somehow, in the middle of all that cosmic indifference, I think the most important character in the film might just be a cat. ➡️ What's in this video: 00:00 A strange heartbeat. 04:37 The story so far. 09:02 The capitalism of it all. 17:42 The Lovecraft of it all. 23:55 The cat of it all.
