When You Believe, and the Interstellar Docking Scene (The Prince of Egypt / Interstellar) #31
In episode 31 Alex takes us through our first movie (scene) based on a religious story while marvelling at the star-studded cast and massive artwork requirements to produce The Prince of Egypt. David's pick is one of the most defining, modern-day cinematic moments in recent film history. Choosing the docking scene from the movie Interstellar, we review the risky organ choice for the Hans Zimmer soundtrack, the epic lines, and the physics that helped inspire the scene pick for this week.
