Episode description
This week, we’re exploring the theme of interplanetary love in two more Space Opera adventures—Lily and Lana Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending (2015) and Andrew Stanton's John Carter (2012). Join us as we dive into the story of Jupiter Jones, an unassuming toilet cleaner who discovers she has the genetic makeup of a long-dead Queen and becomes embroiled in a cosmic struggle for power. Then, we’ll explore the epic tale of the super-jumping barbarian and ex-Confederate soldier, John Carter, who finds love and war on the red planet of Mars.
