What if you could experience the onset of an alien invasion without leaving your seat? Join us on the latest Oh Brother Podcast episode as we review "A Quiet Place Day One," the thrilling prequel starring the incredible Lupita Nyong'o. Mike and I are buzzing with excitement over this new addition to the franchise, set a year before the original film. We dissect the masterful yet loud sound design and share some candid thoughts on the disruptive audience behavior we encountered. With director Michael Sarnoski at the helm, who previously wowed us with "Pig," and the return of Djimon Hounsou, this film promises to be a blockbuster. Plus, we dive into its impressive box office performance and bigger budget.
In our second chapter, we don't hold back on critiquing the film's connections to other sci-fi and horror classics. Comparing it to the likes of "Dune," "The Last of Us," "Alien," and even "The Lord of the Rings," we explore the similarities in creature design and narrative elements. We also delve into plot continuity issues, pacing, and the film's abrupt ending. Wrapping it all up, we recommend viewers might want to save their theater dollars and wait for streaming, despite Nyong'o's standout performance. Tune in to hear our latest insights on the cinematic world and what we think about upcoming titles like "Deadpool and Wolverine."
