Tony, Johanna, and Joe take a look back quite possibly the best Sci Fi Horror film ever made. In this movie review/podcast they will talk about all the things that make this movie great. Everything from the brilliant designs by Ron Cobb and H.R. Giger, The top notch writing, and the iconic scene that made this film an instant classic.

Youtube search Alien 3

In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.

Alien isn't great. It's a goddamned cinematic classic.

Please never lose Jessica as the editor. And pay her more.

The Alien trailer is still one of the best ever.
There's no dialogue in it and nothing gets spoiled (too much).
Much like the film itself a lot of it is mood and atmosphere.

its the 70s. You could smoke in space back then. Charleton Heston smoked a cigar in the spaceship in Planet of the Apes.

I want to thank Jennifer Lawrence for being the first ever woman to star in an action movie, STUNNING AND BRAVE! Paving the way for actresses like Sigourney Weaver.

When I was 5 years old in 1990, HBO was running Alien, Star Wars, and Spaceballs regularly. I never watched movies in full, just in pieces between playing with my toys and running around. So I'd get the three confused, mixing scenes from movie to movie. I'd watch Alien and expect the little alien to start dancing in the chestburster scene. Stayed confused for years until I was able to mentally separate the three.

You guys gotta do “Return of the Living Dead” that’s a great movie with an insane behind the scenes lol.

Here's a fun fact about Dark Star, the feet on the beach ball alien were used as the dog tongue appendage during the kennel scene in The Thing

I always had the impression Jonesy was Brett's cat. Ripley kind of adopted him by the end.

This film is phenomenal. The score is haunting yet gorgeous, the alien is something out if your worst nightmare, the casting, cinematography. It's one of my go to horror films everyday and I'm always entertained

It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, it made $200 million dollars against an $11 million dollar budget, it's one of the scariest motion pictures ever made, it spawned 3 Sequels 2 spinoff films and 2 crossover films.

Of the directors cut, the cocoon scene near the end is the one scene I like. While I understand the point of view that it interrupts the pacing, I actually think that splicing that moment into a frenetic escape sequence is a chilling reprieve.

And while I get that some find that the deleted "crab walk" scene to be goofy, I think that taken alone it is jarring in so far that we cannot yet figure out the Alien's strange and bizarre behavior.

The mystery and ambiguity surrounding the origins of both the Space Jockey and Alien species, their motivations, and their reproductive cycle is something which makes Alien such an effective film.

There is always nuance lost in subsequent films when they try to explain everything away.
