Matt does his best impression of a captain giving a report log about all the events that have transpired so far on the Nostromo. While Rick tells about the first time he saw the film and for once in the correct release order.




Whitey tells us a little bit about his history with this film and how Aliens the first sequel is his favorite in this franchise.

Joey takes us on a short walk to his childhood where he can remember seeing this film from the backyard of his house from a drive in movie theatre.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, welcome to the Middle Age Movies Podcast for guys
saying I found.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Some sort of egg.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Looks like there's a life form a side. Wait, it's opening.
It looks like.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
My name is Tiff and my podcasting partners.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Are middle aged Matt, Joey, Dungeon Master Rick all.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Right join us tonight.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
A man who keeps insisting that we should discuss the
bonus situation before we start the podcast. From the Born
to Watch Movie Podcast, It's Whitey Say Hello, Whitey.

Speaker 6 (01:00):
Hello, gentlemen, thank you for having me on again. It's
gonna be an absolute As I was talking about Alien that.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
One, we are super excited.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
All right, Joey, why don't you tell us what movie
Mother alerd at us to this evening tonight?

Speaker 7 (01:12):
We are watching Alien number six hundred and forty six
from the Book of one thousand and one Movies You
Should Watch Before You Die, written by Dan O'Bannon, then
Ronald Shusett, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Tom Scarett.
It's a Gourney Weaver and Veronica Cartwright.

Speaker 8 (01:30):
Fantastic Joey. All right, are you guys as stoked as
I am to do some brain solalad surgery on Alien?

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:37):
Since we're totally tag teaming this film, I wanted to
ask Whitey our opening question this Halloween Night. Whitey, when
was the first time you saw the movie Alien and
Part two? When or how old were you when you
first heard of the Alien franchise?

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Okay, I'm going to answer that in reverse, because I
saw the sequel first. I saw Aliens first came out
in eighty six. I remember renting it from I remember
going to the cinema and seeing the poster with the
Sigourney Weaver rebox in the cabinet, and I was like,
I got to go and see that, But the problem
was I was eleven and my dad wouldn't let me.

(02:17):
I then hired it when it came out on DVA
on video VHS, probably in I think it came out
in eighty seven or eighty eight, something like that. Remember
sitting with my dad and watching it, and then from
then I went straight down to the video shop and
hired Alien, and so I saw Alien probably in eighty seven,
eighty eight. And I got to say, after seeing the
Aliens first and being thirteen or twelve or thirteen, I

(02:41):
was a little bit underwhelmed because of what the movie
Aliens was, and it was so action packed, and being
a young boy, it was that's all I cared about
was action. But over the years I have grown to
love the original almost as much as I loved the sequel.

Speaker 8 (02:58):
Nice nice, so.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, And I'm saying this movie many, many times.

Speaker 8 (03:02):
Excellent, excellent scenes. You know, I'm going to I'm going
to mirror you in the fact that I actually saw
Aliens first as well. I heard about the Alien. I
just saw the Alien toy first before I got to
see the movie. And I saw Aliens first because I
was a big fan of the Terminator and so it
wasn't until maybe thirteen fourteen that I got to see

(03:26):
the actual movie Alien. So I am I'm mirroring your aspect,
maybe by a few years off. How about you, Tim,
when was the first time you saw Alien and heard
of the Aliens franchise.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'm going to be along the same line as Whitey.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I actually seen Aliens first, for sure, it was a
great film. I didn't realize that there was a movie
before it. When I seen it, it was kind of like,
you know, Mad Max two to Mad Max. To me,
it was a little bit of a letdown because the second.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
One is so good.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Washing Matthea, I know, I know, I'm sorry, but yeah,
I mean, but it's still it's a great film. I
can't remember the first time I watched Alien all the
way through. Probably I'm going to say some time after
high school, since Aliens came out in eighty six and
I would have been right in the middle of high
school at that point.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
So yeah, I would have seen it, you.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Know, probably in my twenties somewhere for the first time
all the way through.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
But I don't remember when.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm sure again, another Blockbuster night, you know, came in, like, oh,
I should rent this one since I've seen the other one.
As far as being aware of the Aliens franchise, I
would say, uh, probably walking down the old Star Wars
toy aisle, because you know, we're right after Star Wars
nineteen seventy seven, we're not quite yet to Empire strikes back.

(04:47):
But this was another twentieth century Fox. They were hoping
blockbuster you know movie where they could get the kids.
So it's the first I already film that they actually
marketed toys to kids.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
And there was the Alien toys. So I remember seeing
that and be like, what is this thing all about?
This is crazy looking. I didn't get it.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Unfortunately, I wish I did, because I guess they're really rare,
you know, super rare.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well with a heap of money. Now, yeah, I think.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Because it was like super fragile break.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
But yeah, that was the first time I, you know,
at least had some you know, insight into there is
some other kind of sci fi franchise out there besides
Star Wars and Battlestar galact Now, I am afraid.

Speaker 8 (05:23):
To ask this question to another member of our podcast
team because I'm afraid I might be opening a can
of worms. But Rick, when was the first time you
saw Alien?

Speaker 5 (05:34):
So look, yesterday was like the absolute not first time
that I see this one. Okay, so check it out.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
We're gonna be talking about Jaws's face here for sure,
thank dog.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Check this out. The first time I heard about it,
I was in high school. I was over at my
best friend's house and his older brother, I don't know
how we got on talking about it, and he was like, dude,
you never seen Aliens. And I was like nah, and
he's like, dude, just like a Superrow some you know,
franchise and movies. You gotta check it out, blah blah blah.
And I was like, yeah, man, okay. I mean I

(06:12):
was into Star Wars when I was younger stuff like that,
so I didn't actually get into Alien until She's I
was probably out of college and I think I even
had kids at the time. It was like probably a
good decade after I heard about it. It was just
something I wanted to watch. It just never really took
time enough to invest. However, when I did did, I

(06:35):
was like all in, man. I watched from the very beginning.
I watched Alien, then Aliens, then was an Alien three,
and then all the way up through like the Alien
versus Predator and all that stuff, cause I love Predator
anything Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm like all about that, you know
what I mean. So I watched all that and when
I found out like the history behind all that stuff,

(06:58):
how they're related in the same universe, I was like,
oh my god, it's crazy, man. And when my son
got older, you know, I watched it all with him
and stuff, and recently I watched the Alien TV show, which,
by the way, I'm fantastic It's great.

Speaker 8 (07:14):
Awesome, awesome. Well, Tim mentioned are rated movies marketing toys
towards kids. I got to ask you, Joey, were you
the target audience and when was the first time you
watched Alien.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
I was not the target audience because I was just born.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's such a year.

Speaker 7 (07:31):
I am proud to say that they've been marketing our
rated movies to children since since I was born. I
didn't see Alien in the theater, obviously. If I had, somehow,
I wouldn't have remembered it. No insult to the movie
I was watching. I remember watching it on a small
television in our kitchen, edited for TV version. Maybe I
watched parts of it before that, but I think its

(07:54):
entireties that I probably watched it after I saw Aliens,
but I think I saw little bits and pieces of
it before that. To give you an idea, like, I
remember Aliens was playing at the drive in. It was
one of the last movies to play at the drive
in before it closed. The drive in wasn't very far
from our house. I kind of climbed up all probably
five six feet onto the antenna on the side of

(08:17):
the house so I could see over the corn and
I couldn't hear the movie at all. Remember seeing Sigourney
Weaver's face. So yeah, And I was for seconds because
I was scared of heights and I was I was
up higher than I was tall, and then I got down.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I wasn't close enough to touch the roof. I don't think.

Speaker 7 (08:36):
Maybe I remember daring myself to go higher, and I
think that that might have been the closest is that
I touched the side of the roof, so that that's
me an alien.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
You know.

Speaker 8 (08:45):
It's funny. That was probably probably before they started broadcasting
the audio signal for the cars to pick up. Oh definitely, yeah,
because originally you got this little like speaker that you'd
have to hang on your door and you would hear
five point once surround sound system through one little channel.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
It was one step about the McDonald's.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
Dragon speaker, not a half step all right.

Speaker 8 (09:10):
So Tim, as our resident horror host, what are you
going to request for our synopsis tonight?

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Okay, Matthew, it's going to be fairly easy. You don't
even have to do a crazy voice tonight. All I
want you to do is I would like you to
read the synopsis as Dallas as he enters into a
log report aboard the starship Nostromo.

Speaker 8 (09:30):
All right, let's see what I can do for you,
all right, kat in Dallas.

Speaker 9 (09:34):
Log Report, Commercial Towing Vessel USCSS and Stromo. Our return
trip from Thadius So to Earth has been halted by
mother the on board AI computer. A transmission of unknown
origin has been detected, and per company policy, the crew
has been awakened from hypersleep to investigate the source. The

(09:57):
transmission originated from LV four to two six, a desolate moon,
orbiting the gas giant Calpamos in the Zeta reticulized system.
Upon landing, we discovered a derelict alien ship. The crew
were of an unknown species who appeared to have died
some time ago. While searching the ship, crewman Kane discovered

(10:20):
an alien egg, which hatched and launched a creature at
his helmet. It melted through his helmet and attached to
his face. We were unsuccessful in removing the creature, but
after a day it appeared to die and fallen off
Kaine seemed to have fully recovered from the incident and
rejoined the crew. Just before we prepared to re enter

(10:41):
hyper sleep, a creature violently exploded from Kane's chest and
escaped into the ship. It bears to be growing at
an accelerated rate and is now killing the crew. I've
given order to hunt the creature down and jettison it
from the ship before it kills us. All, Dallas, enough.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
You almost had moments of punny there. I think it's
just that was an interesting tike.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
I enjoyed a slow, melodic way that you did that
in such a monotone.

Speaker 8 (11:15):
You know, it's all about trying to find the right
kind of captain.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I think I think you found your motivation and you
channeled it there.

Speaker 8 (11:26):
Man, you rocked it all right. Well, so let's go
ahead and take a look at our ship. The Nostromo
comes out of hyper sleep because it receives a signal,
and it's kind of neat because we see the Nostroma
pulling this like huge mining operation, like these tanks full
of stuff that they apparently were mining I'm assuming from

(11:48):
like some gas giants giant and of course, you know
this is where we learned our heroes or just you know,
working class people, not space explorers like certain other star
themed TV shows or star theme to movies. They don't
they don't all get along, and that they're deeply concerned
with money, and that the company, which is later referred

(12:09):
to as whalen Utani in other movies, is the source
of the threat and power that exists in almost an
omnipotent state just off screen. The ship is then forced
to investigate a signal from a derelict ship. So what
I got to say right off the bat is what
you guys think of the universe that alien exists in?
Because you know clearly this is this is far different

(12:32):
than Star Wars or Star Trek. I'd like to know, Whitey,
what do you think of of the alien universe?

Speaker 5 (12:39):
See?

Speaker 6 (12:40):
The production design in this film is credible, and I
don't think it's too far away from like it's like
a tattoine form of spice, Like it's that old spice,
and I think that, well, it's not that's Star Spice.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's definitely old spice.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
And I love the world building that they do and
the introduction to the to the crue is just something
that first ten to fifteen minutes of the movie is
just incredible, so slow paced, it just it shows you
everything you need to know.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
I love it.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
I think I know that Joey mentioned earlier about Alien
Earth or Rick did one of them, and my favorite
part of that series is when they went back and
almost copied the Nostromo and the production value, and I
just think this is it's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
That it's so it's just so well done.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
It's so raw, it's so industrial, it's it's so old
that it's so new. It's just so it's it's incredible.
I am immersed in this, in this alien state. It's excellent.

Speaker 8 (13:36):
Yeah, yeah, I have to agree with you. I love
the fact that it's it's like a lived in universe.
You know, you get the opening of the sleeper cells,
the caskets, whatever you want to call them, that these
gather and you know they're all talking like they just
walk up from a nap. They actually have this like
almost like soap opera like dialogue with each other, not

(13:58):
like extremely crazy opera, but you know, just you know,
something establishing that there's relationships that are in here. What
about you, Tim What did you think of this this
whole opening sequence within Nostromo.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I mean, you can obviously watch this and you can
see already that Star Wars in two thousand and one
are having a major impact on this, the way the
visuals are and everything.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
He's taken a bit of you.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Know, George Lucas's world, you know, where everything's lived in
and well used and everything. We're getting that seen it
on a working class ship. We're getting kind of some
of that beginning Star Wars shop where you're kind of
seeing it underneath the ship.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
And I like that the ships in here, they're not sleek.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
This is not like, these aren't fighters, these aren't Star
destroyers and things like that. It's a big, clunky looking
refinery ship being told by much smaller ship that you
don't even realize is there until later when they disconnect
it to you know, go do their investigation on the planet.
And I kind of I enjoy that it's not aerodynamic
looking because it seems so foreign, because everything we've seen

(14:59):
before is usually very aerodynamic looking still, or it's very futuristic,
like sci Fi fifty stuff, unif oldlooking things.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
So I enjoyed that the sets.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
I enjoyed that everything is still practical there's no CG
in this or anything. Everything's hand built. They did a
magnificent job paying attention to details on the ship, inside
the ship.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
All around it, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
So I really enjoyed that they took the time to
build this environment for us to watch our characters play
ins and it was just visually well produced, very stunning.
So I really liked it, even though it's borrowing from things,
but not blatantly stealing, you know. It's just like I'm
going to gather a little bit here, a little bit there,
and then I'm.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Gonna make it a little bit of my own. So
I enjoyed that very much.

Speaker 8 (15:46):
Nice. Nice, Yeah, I agree with you. It is. It
is really neat that they were able to cobble together
several different things to build up the universe of this.
And speaking of cobbling things together, so if you guys
may or may not know this, but you're original Star
Trek series, one of the things the producers always wanted
was to have the crew of the Enterprise smoking, and

(16:06):
of course Roddenberry's big thing was, well, you can't smoke
in space because you're in a freaking tube with pressure
and oxygen. You don't want to smoke, but obviously they
found a way around that in the Nostromo. And I
would just like to know Rick, as a Star Trek fan,
what do you think of the finger that really Scott
is pointing towards Gene Roddenberry by having them smoke on

(16:29):
the ship?

Speaker 5 (16:30):
No idea, Man, that ship is huge. I don't know
why someone wouldn't be able to smoke on that thing. Man,
You see how huge that thing is like and the
thing they don't like? You do get more and more
of it as the as the movie goes through goes on,
but even from the get go, you get these clips
of different sections of the ship, giving you an era

(16:52):
of vastness within this is and it's more than you
get in like the opening scenes of Star Wars. When
you get that, you get that pan of the shot
where you got the Krillian Corvette and then you got
the Star Destroyer, Like it makes it seem like it's
pretty big. However, in this particular shot you see the

(17:13):
underbelly of it, but then you also see what's inside.
And when you start seeing what's inside, you're like, dang,
this is like really really really big. So I have
no idea what they're talking about with regard to smoking
inside of a ship, I mean, it's raining in the
ship too, so I really know, I have no idea. Yeah,

(17:34):
it's kind of its own little you know, atmospheres and
things like that. But space travel, obviously, it's cool. They
sleep to like, you know, mitigate resources and things like that.
I thought that was cool. What's really really cool is
that as the movie goes along, as the story goes along,
you get to see a little bit more, especially in
the beginning, you get to see a little bit more

(17:55):
of the characters. They have their own motivations. While the
characters may not be very dyna, they're definitely for a
short I think this is kind of a short feels
short movie even though it's like two hours long, but
it is rich enough to where I'd say that the
characters are solid, and so is the setting. The setting

(18:15):
is so good that even the TV show like decades later,
it doesn't really retcon anything that's been established here in
this movie in the first movie, so I think that
goes a show that they did really well put in
together this setting, so really really good stuff.

Speaker 8 (18:35):
What about you, Joey, any any thoughts anything to add
for the Nostromo or the just the universal building of
the series or this movie.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
In Italian, nostromo means shipmate. There you go. There's my addition.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
Well, I feel like I've I've learned something tonight.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
I thought it just sounded like a you know, dirty
European sex act, but.

Speaker 6 (18:55):
Nostromo means something very different in Australia. Yeah, like woos there.
I don't know about that. Let's get tested first, come
on Life.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
I think one of the cool things this establishes that
we don't see in a lot of the other shows too,
is that or movies, TV shows, is that there's no
FTL drives, no faster than life, there's no hyper space
or anything like that. So that's where we're getting this cool
you know, hyper sleep pod chambers. You know, that's kind
of a I mean there's I'm sure there's some other
movies that do it, but in the Aliens world, we

(19:28):
haven't found you know, evidently ftls yet. And I think
that is actually touched upon later on in one of
the other movies where that company finally develops them or whatever.
And I like the contrast between the working class ship
that we see here and the more refined company, you know,
flagship that we'll see in like Prometheus. So two things
that are established in this world that we don't see

(19:49):
in the Star Wars world abottle star galact or things
like that.

Speaker 6 (19:53):
Sorry, I think sorry, let me just put the one down.
Saw the team on the nine drives. Is that obviously
the Harper Sleep does not stunt puby care growth.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yes, this is true. This is true.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
Because Ripley has some issues going on, as we'll say
later in the film.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yes, yes, I believe that's been talked about.

Speaker 6 (20:15):
I think the only I used was to remove some
of the puby care from Ripley R.

Speaker 7 (20:21):
The guy to paint each frame. They actually had to
paint the film frame like with with a like what
we can only imagine is like some set of magnifying
glasses on top of one another. And they said he
worked day and night for like two weeks to well
paint paint out her men.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah one pubeit of time.

Speaker 8 (20:44):
All because she wouldn't want to wax. Huh.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Well, it's it's the seventies, guys, it's seventies chest.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
Hair is she thought Nostroma was going to be an
adult film, and she's like I'm here to do what
I'm paid for, and this is this is me and
they're they're like, we couldn't talk her out of it.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
It was on to that the attention away from her
terrible brisk.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
Hey, I'll take those tiny tis any day over the
concave ass.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
She has negative ass, middle aged movie buddy.

Speaker 7 (21:14):
Sheimans here we go, but she's she has a beautiful
face and a wonderful voice from the neck up.

Speaker 8 (21:19):
Yes, absolutely gorgeous. Yes, back back on target. So they're
they're forced in a way to have to go to
investigate this, this signal that they assume is a a
rescue or what's the word I'm looking for.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
There's an s O S signal andtigation.

Speaker 8 (21:36):
Yes, an s O S signal it's time.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
An SOS is just a transmission of unknown origin because
they don't have any idea what it's saying.

Speaker 7 (21:42):
Yeah, they're they're they're kind of playing it off as
an s O.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
S stressed signal.

Speaker 8 (21:47):
That's the word I was looking forward to stressing. This
happens in middle aged movie reviews. We're all middle aged.
We can't figure out what we're trying to say and
to share with everybody.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
CRS movie reviews can't remember stuff.

Speaker 8 (21:59):
Yes, they they decided they're going to go after it.
Based on the contract that they all signed. They determine
that they want to get paid bonus, so they're gonna
they're gonna go after it because apparently greed is one
of the things that drives our characters.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, but it's not just bonus, it's a four fst
year of all money if they don't go. Yes, I
believe that's Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
It's fear of everything. So yeah, kind of force their
hand beause guy's like, I'm doing I'm not going.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, that's good. We should go there. Yeah that let's go.

Speaker 8 (22:29):
Yeah yeah, what he said.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
It's basically like fooling them, kind of like how your
employer fools you with overtime. They're like, yeah, man, we'll
give you a little extra money if you just devote
your entire soul.

Speaker 8 (22:41):
Okay, and that's why I haven't quit my day job.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
All right.

Speaker 8 (22:46):
So they head off to this planet and the landing
goes badly. They damage the ship. The trip to the
source of the signal that they have been forced to
investigate is difficult, and the first translation hints that the
signal is not a distress signal, but a call to
a warning. So they go to investigate, and Caine is

(23:07):
attacked by a creature that is brought back to the ship,
and the interpersonal tensions of all of this that's happening
really spills over because you know, Dallas and crap I
can't think of her name now, Lambert Lambert. Yes, they
want to bring Caine back to the ship and they

(23:27):
are locked in an air lock and quarantine has been engaged. Now,
if you are Ripley and you've decided to actually shave
and you have this foreign entity in an air lock,
are you going to not let them in even though
it's your fellow crewmate that could die? What are you

(23:49):
gonna do?

Speaker 5 (23:49):
Rick? Yeah, nah, fuck that they coming in, bro, they
got some creature on them. Negative, Definitely not dude. Ripley
was a thousand sent right, dude. She was like, nah, nah,
the rules are X, Y and Z. You're fucking out. Okay,
you're gonna contaminate the whole goddamn ship. Everyone's gonna fucking die. No.

(24:12):
She was super duper right, and they only suspected that
he was gonna die out there. They had no idea
what the hell was going on. They didn't even like
tell him like, oh yeah, man, there's this thing on
his face and looks creepy and stuff. They didn't say
to say none of that ship. They should have said
that shit. And then and then what's his name? What's

(24:33):
his name? Just straight up like now, fuck this, we're
letting them in, like yeah, Ash, yeah, what the fuck?

Speaker 6 (24:40):
Man?

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Go back to the shire Bilbo. Come on man, nah nah,
stay outside. You did not get it going. You do
not come and you shall not pass. All right, what
about you, Joey?

Speaker 8 (24:51):
Would you side with the strong female lead here and
keep the crew out?

Speaker 7 (24:55):
I would follow the playbook and so that that's This
is like our first suspicion that there's something up with Ash,
because he seems like he's all about protocol, saying hey,
you know, you're gonna forfeit your shares and stuff like that,
and all of a sudden, now he's breaking rules.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
So something's not right with him. He seems like he's.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
A villainous character, and we're gonna find out just how
how much he doesn't value human life, although it seems
like in this moment he absolutely does. He's like, you know,
fuck the rules, I'm gonna let him in.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (25:27):
Yeah. It is interesting because when I first watched this,
I didn't realize the big reveal about Ash, which we'll
get to later. But I didn't see anything abnormal about
him wanting because he's the doctor, you know, he maybe
like an EMH protocol kind of doctrine, wants to like
save everybody by the book. But of course he has concern.
That's that's kind of what I felt when I first
watched this. What about you, Weddy, what did you think

(25:48):
of being of the cribbing locked out? And then of
course Ash want breaking protocol.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
Dowe, kind doe, no shit, It's just it's one of
the it's one of the most frustrating things, but it's
obviously it's It's also the greatest plot point in the
film that if you know, if he doesn't get let
on the ship, then nothing happens.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
But I guess no, Ripley.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Ripley is the only one that makes smart decisions for
five movies, and they should definitely and she's the best
leader she They should have listened to her and should
not have let Kane on the ship. As for Ash, hindsight,
it's an incredible thing. There's no way that I knew
that he was anything other than wanting to help Kane. Right. Obviously,
we learn that he's in on the plot essentially, and

(26:33):
he's bringing him on because he wants to get the organism.
But it's I think it's so well done. It's played
so understatedly by in Home, who's incredible in the Ross.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
And yeah, I think it's so.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
You look back now and you go, oh, well, of
course he's an android, But there's no way when I
watched this the first time that I was blown away.
When they smash his head off and he bleeds milk,
I was like, Jesus Christ, I did not see that coming,
you know. But I think it's really it's a really
good part.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Of the movie.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
I think that obviously we need them to get on
the ship, but it's not why you're letting them on.

Speaker 8 (27:07):
No, No, I mean, yeah, I agree with you, all right, Tim,
anything else you want any counterpoint.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
I don't have a counterpoint. Hell no with these I
love all you guys, but let's let's just break this down.
They went on to an alien ship. The guy's like, hey, look,
I think I found the sake gives a play by
play like, hey, I think it's opening. And then the
next thing, you know, this thing's attacking them and they're
listening to this audibly as it's happening. And then when

(27:36):
he comes back, they're not hiding this. Kids like, oh,
they didn't say anything. It melted through his freaking helmet
and it's a ballsack attached to his face. Now, I'm
sorry any guys show up with a ballsack attached to
your face, you're not coming in.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
I'm not even letting you. And if you have the
flu let alone, that damn thing stick it to your face.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
But I do have to question a little bit if
they lock them into the air lock and this still happened,
so they can't really do anything with it and take
it off, it's still going to die and fall off,
and then he's gonna get up and be like, hey,
I feel great.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Are they going to let him in?

Speaker 7 (28:07):
Then?

Speaker 4 (28:07):
You know that's my next question, you know, where.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
They just be like, oh, it seems like everything worked
out great, because there sure wasn't any follow up like
maybe we should put him in the scanner or something
like that. Now they're just like, oh, look, he's good.
Let's just go have dinner now these guys. N what's that, Rick?

Speaker 8 (28:20):
No.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
I think, if I remember correctly, I think they said
there was some sort of time period. They might even
said twenty four hours or something like that. They said,
I'm pretty sure there was a time period that they
had to ensure any viruses wouldn't be also a contagion,
or I'm almost positively said something like that when they're

(28:41):
in the air lock.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Right, but let's say it falls off and now like, okay, well,
now we need to reset it for twenty four hours,
make sure that he's going to be.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Okay, yeah, but he would they would have popped out and.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Then this thing comes bursting out of the chest and
it wastes you know, Dallas and Lambert. What's to say
it's still not going to get in the ship because
it's proven to be agile, quick thinking, and has the
ability to get into places that like only mice and
apparently giant xenophoba aliens can get into.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
You know, I don't know, but The Alien Earth has
a scene that answers that question.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Okay, I've not watched The Alien Earth.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
I will just say that to the question. It's in
the first episode, and it's it's a fucking banger of
an episode too. By the way, I'm just I'm.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Not one hundred percent convinced that it would have changed
the outcome.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
They still might have.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Been you might be right right him.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
I was pottering that as I was watching it.

Speaker 8 (29:40):
Well, you know, we talk about the face hugger, and
I just have to think that the thought process and
how these aliens are created is just really cool. I mean,
I have to hand it to hr Geiger and how
he came up with a lot of the designs and everything.
But just yeah, for sure, yeah, I'm not a fan

(30:01):
of hr Geiger, but I'll say, outside of what we
discussed at the beginning, you know, as far as how
the set work is done, it's his interpretation of how
the aliens look that really kicks this whole franchise up
a notch because it gives it such a super distinctive
look that has still not ever been duplicated anywhere else.

(30:22):
I mean, his look of the ships, his look of
the other aliens. That whatever they call it is that
the jockey, the horse jockey aliens, I think they call
them or something like that.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
No they don't, they call them like the horse jockey
or something. Weird, like that that alien that's actually dead.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
When they space jockey, space jockey, there's no horses.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah, okay, space jockeys.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Space ships.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
Hey, that's not a real Star Wars movie. Bro steaming ship.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
You want if you want to have horses, you gotta
go watch that other awesome show that they put out
that was supposed to be a Star Wars series and
never was.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Why do I know you love this show?

Speaker 8 (31:08):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
What I'm talking about?

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Which?

Speaker 3 (31:09):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Come on? Come on? It was the three of them
that came out. They were horrible. They were on Netflix.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
Sack Snyder, Guy, my god, Rebel.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
Yes see now that's some well placed space horses.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Jesus, what a horrible what a horrible movies.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
I know how much you guys over it. Born to watch.
I love that.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Series, the second one go to zero from me a zero.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
But yeah, Geiger just made that He just kicked that
whole world up a notch and made it so distinctive
compared to any other franchise. I think that was a
really great choice that.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah, by having him do the designs.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
Oh yeah, and I mean just I mean the face
Hugger alone, just I mean the sheer horror to have something,
I mean, to have the feeling of suffocation and also
the fact that this is a this is an entity
that if you cut it can kill you because of
the acid in its blood. And I just thought that
was sheer, fright and terror built into this small little thing,

(32:15):
and I just I thought it was phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
I mean, well, that was the eleventh hour decision by
them too, to have it do the acid thing, because
they were stuck in the writing process. They're like, how
do we put these guys on the ship and not
have them end this whole scenario by just putting a
bullet and alien And they're like, have a bleed acid
so it'll pour through the ship and expose them to
you know, the vacuum of space. And so they're like, oh, perfect,
perfect acid blood. So that was it was definitely it

(32:40):
was a writing mechanism that they used to prolong this
entire movie, and I thought that was absolutely brilliant. And
then add to the Geiger thing, Ridley Scott decided that
each time you see any of these scenes like the
face hugger or you know, anything like that, the stuff
that's in the egg. It's all real animal parts and
guts and stuff that he's using because he wanted to

(33:00):
look as realistic as possible. So that's not just some
mocked up stuff that they did in the art department.
He's throwing in real like I think there was like
oysters and stuff in the bottom of that face, hundred
things like that.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
It just makes it look so much more disgusting.

Speaker 8 (33:13):
Yeah, yeah, but go ahead, Rick.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
So I was gonna actually also say something I was
watching this with my son today and yesterday, and something
that he had mentioned that I don't really think I
would have ever zoned in on if he didn't mention
it was talking about the score, which it isn't super apparent.
I think it's just enough in some areas, and it's

(33:39):
i maybe even specifically denied in others to hype up
when there is something about to happen, as far as
the mood of the film giving it that extra thrilling
and slash horror feel to it. So like when you
were talking a moment ago, you were talking about how

(34:00):
they go and explore this alien ship and the dudes
like walking in and repelling down into this alien ship
and investigating these weird look at eggs and stuff that
whole time you get this super eerie You get this
super eerie feeling from the score, whether it's actually producing

(34:20):
music or in some cases not producing music. And I
think it's probably intentional to, you know, further, give it
that sense of dread when you're on the edge of
your seat when there's nothing, there's no sound at all,
and then something happens, you know what I mean.

Speaker 8 (34:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's definitely echoing the sense
of suspense you would have gotten from a nineteen seventy
five movie with a shark in the water.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Rick wouldn't know that one.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
I love you, you know, Joey, you've you've been a
little quiet. What's your take on on the face hugger
and just the sheer tear that is going on with the.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
Well, Tim's right, it's you know, it's a it's a
scro to them on one side, and then it's a
like a like a fish in or it's pussy on the.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Other And I yeah, sure, something for everybody.

Speaker 7 (35:26):
And Ash seems to I think Ash knew that it
laid some kind of an egg inside of him. This
movie almost kind of like it makes you wonder how
much the company knew before they went there and how
did they know. So I think that helped them kind
of like create a lore that's still muddy as hell
to this day because nobody can decide on, you know,
what they're gonna do. But yeah, it's uh, it's it's

(35:48):
quite disgusting. And I think, you know, it could have
it could have even been born a little early, considering
the fact that you know, it's like, hey, I'm gonna
smoke and then I'm gonna eat, and it's like, oh,
I don't like what's coming down here. I'm getting the
hell out of here. And then now we see the
you know, the penis with teeth creature which grows, and

(36:08):
I know penises do grow, but that thing grows too fast.
I think that we should have seen a progressive like
you know, it's you know, at least medium to large,
and we go straight to like, you know, adult size.
It should have it, You don't. You don't go from
a fun sized Snickers to a king sized Snicker. You

(36:30):
got to have at least like a normal Snickers.

Speaker 8 (36:33):
You need a progression.

Speaker 7 (36:34):
What we didn't see that that's always kind of bothered me.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Well, I do like the snake skins that the teenage
chant from years is what you're saying is that's what
we really miss is just a really moody, angry alien.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
I don't need a teenage group.

Speaker 7 (36:52):
But yeah, I think I think a medium sized one
of those, or even the small one would have Like
I would have liked that first killed has just been
from a small one. Show him eat and consume and
then he grows. Gotcha that that cat didn't help anybody,
and that that a dog would have been all over
that creature.

Speaker 8 (37:11):
Almost like like in Alien three. Not quite as bad
as Alien four movie, but the dogs that were in
that movie, the dog alien size.

Speaker 7 (37:22):
Oh absolutely, we all became an Alien three apologist when
we finally saw the travesty.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
What that was? What was called?

Speaker 8 (37:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (37:31):
That was It was really.

Speaker 7 (37:33):
A decade for movies called resurrection.

Speaker 8 (37:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
Yeah, we had Halloween Resurrection after h two. O. Yeah,
very very Easter themed.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yea, much like this movie with it.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
Did that Passion of Christ come out that year too?

Speaker 10 (37:56):
Now?

Speaker 5 (37:57):
You know what I think you are onto something though, Joey.
There was a cat roaming around the ship, and I
think that it would be fair game for the alien
to have killed that thing and devoured it to gain
its you know, resources energy.

Speaker 7 (38:12):
Yeah, the cat should have been like, oh, I'm gonna
fuck you up, like it's a big rat. And then
it finds out that it's too much for it.

Speaker 8 (38:19):
But I mean and then Josie he has like a
battle scar across her face. He just had like acid
like in in her cheek. Yeah, that would be cool.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Fuck that cat, y'all.

Speaker 7 (38:30):
The TV show Man they say, saved the cat, Save
the cat to like establish you know that somebody is
a hero.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
But uh, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (38:39):
I could have. I could have lived with do you
know what to show the cat died? Actually I think
you can. You can do implications.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
It'd been much.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Funnier if you want to put a little levity in
the show that every time the alien tries to grab
the cat, it just scratches the ship out of them
and he only does a lot to handle it.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Just like a person, and it runs away.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Whitey Tim is a cat person.

Speaker 7 (39:00):
He could We're gonna want to get him started on
cat stories.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
That could be a whole podcast talking.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
Thank you for alerting me to that, because I'm not
a cat person.

Speaker 7 (39:11):
They're they're great for farmhouses and outside buildings. If they're mousers,
and if they're afraid of mice or in this case
of small alien, they sun and they're worthwise.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Right.

Speaker 8 (39:21):
Well, you know, we we mentioned it. We talked about Kine, uh,
you know, recovering and he appears that you know that
he recovers from this alien parasite. But we get this
this like gruesome death scene, you know, the first major
death from an alien. And I got to ask you, Rick,
what did you think of Cain's death sequence being a

(39:43):
direct parody of that diner scene from the film Spaceballs.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
You know what's funny is that I actually did see
Spaceball long before I even watched Aliens, so so it
kind of like when I saw it, it was this
moment that I had. I was like, oh my god,
that's where this is from. You know, like, yeah, it
really was a thing for me when I watched this.

(40:08):
But yeah, dude, I mean, unfortunately this alien doesn't you know,
do the singing dance. You know, that would have been
pretty interesting, pretty entertaining. I think it would have taken
a little bit away from the horror theme that is
trying to go for. But yeah, you know, you know,
when some you lose some, but yeah, it's it was.

(40:30):
It was so cool man, when the dude's like, ah,
that something's happened, and what's I don't know if you
guys saw, but they was trying to stick shit in
his mouth. But I mean, yeah, but that was back
in the day. When someone had a seizure, you're supposed
to try to keep them from swallowing their tongue or whatever,
you know. But I'm watching it today and I'm like, yo, man,

(40:51):
that's not what you're fuck it's supposed to do. Bro,
You're gonna fucking get your finger cut off. You know,
someone's gonna bite your finger doing that shit.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
You know, well, they were trying to jam a spood
in his mouth. I don't know anybody was trying to,
you know, gag him.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
At the time, but you know, I was. That's what
they That's what they used to do. They used to say,
you got to stick something on their on their But
problem is, you stick something in your tongue, you're gonna
lose a finger or someone's gonna lose a tooth.

Speaker 7 (41:15):
Yeah, they're gonna choke on your face. Has anyone like
ever heard of someone dying by swallowing their tongue.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
No, No, that's why they that's why don't do it anymore,
because there's a bunch of bullshit. You know, what do
doctors know?

Speaker 8 (41:28):
You know?

Speaker 2 (41:30):
I mean, you know, you put a spoon on somebody's tongue,
and then when they're having a seizure, if there's a
nuclear event, you duck and cover in her desk.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
I mean, these are just logical things that people do.

Speaker 7 (41:40):
I just consulted ash aka Google AI and it says, no,
it's impossible to swallow your tongue.

Speaker 5 (41:47):
Like I said, what do doctors know? You know, they
told you to wear a mask? What do doctors know?

Speaker 8 (41:53):
Well? Uh, speaking of doctors, you know, we we see
that ash is kind of taking a back seat a
little bit to watch to see what happens with this alien.
And it's interesting because now we've kind of gone from
the single death to being trapped in a small enclosed space.

(42:16):
I mean it's the stromo and it's not as small
as you know, you would think of like a police
box or something. But we're now stuck in this in
this tin can with an alien creature. And suddenly the
movie turns into like Agatha Christie's story Ten Little Indians
where the alien starts picking them off one by one.

(42:37):
And I think it's kind of interesting that here we
get the establishment of the alien doing this, and then
we flash forward to nineteen eighty seven and we have Predator,
where the exact same thing is kind of happening. So
it's it's funny how these two aliens merge eventually into
a cinematic universe coming up that just kind of mirrors this,

(43:01):
this classic Agatha Christie trope. Since they're dying off one
by one, which death you think is the most impressive
out of all these crew members? And I'll ask you first, Wyity,
which one do you think was the neatest?

Speaker 6 (43:14):
Well, I think the most terrifying scene, I think is
the Lambert and what's his name?

Speaker 8 (43:22):
I forget his name yet, Yeah, the Affrica.

Speaker 6 (43:26):
I think that's that's probably the most terrifying scene because
it's but in saying that, move the fuck out of
the way, like there's something approaching you.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
It's not moving very quickly.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
Move But then when you see the tail go between
her legs, which is another giga thing. Yeah, it's very
it's a terrifying scene. There's no doubt. I do like
the ferocity of.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
The What's What's up?

Speaker 5 (43:56):
What's his name?

Speaker 6 (43:57):
The Harry Dean Stanton death when he's in the in
the Ryan he's in the cooling Chimes, and that's also
gright as well, very quick and sort of get an
idea for how it's thinking this thing is. But I
think my favorite, my favorite one is the is the
Lambert death. I think that whole scene is full on
and the fact that you hear it only through the
PAI system and is just it's so brilliantly filmed.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
It's so well executed. Yeah, it's great, awesome.

Speaker 8 (44:24):
Yeah, you know. The one that I kind of like
most is actually Dallas's death, because you know, he's trying
to flush the alien creature out. We see later on
in the next movie a similar situation where they're there,
they have the location devices to try to figure out
where the aliens are at, and they don't think three dimensionally,
and he's trapped in this tiny space and it just

(44:48):
happens to like do that jump scare thing, and all
the alien really wants is he's just reaching out there
for a hug. I mean, he just wants to hug Lambert,
that's that's really all it's going on. And then of
course we cut back to hearing it on the on
the calms, and I'm like that that was pretty scary.
That was that was kind of cool.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
Maybe that was what Tim was asking for that teen phase.
You're looking for a hug.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, if only they'd have loved him more, he wouldn't
end up going bad.

Speaker 6 (45:16):
Well in all, in all honesty that the big aliens
really just the the predator. So you can take it back,
so I can get fist fucked by another.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
The fight hugger.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
Sort of like put a little bit of Ruthie in
Dallas's drink taking back to the to the bedroom, so
he doesn't know what's going on. He wakes up in
the morning, winks up in the morning and goes, oh god,
a fiight, my mouth feels a little bit sore.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
I don't really know what happened. I think that's an
episode of of Robot Chicken. Actually tell you straight, if.

Speaker 7 (45:50):
A face hugger gets on the face, I feel like
that's almost scissoring without the legs, because you got too
badgin old type things happening there on top of each other.
That's that's tripping. Yeah, someone's gonna jack off the that.

Speaker 6 (46:08):
I'm a I'm a real chance of fawning. That a
real chance at least chance of fawning that one.

Speaker 7 (46:19):
Yeah, God's double. When you got a face huggerm hey,
that is kind of like a disgusting thing. It's like,
you know, there's creatures that lay eggs, So we got chickens,
we got lizards, and then this thing has like something tubular,
not quite felt but not quite a penis, and it's

(46:40):
putting eggs inside of you.

Speaker 8 (46:41):
You're looking for the word is probiscus, like probiscus, robiscus.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
I don't know what is, but Matt, I agree with
you on the Dallas death. In fact, something my son
was super pissed about with this one was how inept
Lambert is at giving directions about where this fucking terrible
thing is coming from. It's it's near you, it's near you.

(47:09):
This motherfuckers, like, where the fuck is it? He's so
freaked out he doesn't even go back the way he
came to get the safety. He's like, he's so he's
like so at a loss of his bearings when he
should climb back up to go whack back where he
came from. He decides, for some reason to go back down,
maybe because he thought that the reception would be worse

(47:29):
over there so he wouldn't be able to have to
hear Lambert give him bad call outs. No, I really
don't know what's going on.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
She's horrible, awful. Somebody just put her out of her
misery is like, shut her up. She's just she's doing it,
just screaming and crying in the corner. She's not offering
anything to this situation.

Speaker 8 (47:50):
Well, the said thing is too late, too late. She's
she's listed on the crew as the navigator and she
can't never to get Dallas around the freaking air.

Speaker 4 (48:02):
Losh, you got a pretty good point there.

Speaker 8 (48:05):
Man.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
I'm not gonna lie, but I'm gonna disagree with all
you guys, like you're all picking out these deaths.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
From the alien.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
The really cool death is the Ash death. I mean,
we all know this has turned into like a Halloween,
you know of Friday the thirteenth, you know, alien killing
movie here, But the death when they kill Ash and like,
you know, why do you say, like all that milk
coming out of ship, none of us.

Speaker 4 (48:28):
Seen that death coming. That's the one that I think
really for me was like, holy ship, what is that?
What is that? Marbles coming out of his neck? And
noodles and noodles?

Speaker 5 (48:36):
What is going on here? Like milk front?

Speaker 4 (48:41):
What the hell?

Speaker 8 (48:42):
You know?

Speaker 4 (48:42):
So love and I love what. We're gonna get him
the talking.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
They're messing with it and you can see him kind
of moving that head around and all of a sudden,
there's that hard cut and it's his head.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
I'm like, oh, that's so horrible.

Speaker 7 (48:55):
They had to put in the lines. He's an android.
It's a goddamn robot, because like otherwise, it's like, how
would you know? You'd think that was some kind of
alien creature. I mean, he's bleeding fucking milk. He's drinking
milk earlier in the movie. Now that I think that
think about it, it's like maybe he needed a protein
shake for all that goo inside of him. Yeah, And
so he just pretends to eat shit with them, and

(49:15):
then he's just off drinking his like quote unquote milk.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
He just goes and opens up the tube and let's
a little pour back out or something. Because that should
be the first giveaway. It's like, Dode, we never see
you eat. What the hell It seems like that would
be the Dad giveway.

Speaker 5 (49:27):
Plus he do drink oil all the time. How would
you He's.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Throw some nestlie quick in that thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
But he also moves around like he's at the air
lock as they're getting ready to leave it. The next thing,
he's like zo, he's up at the cockpit looking out
the window and watch and I'm like, nobody moves that quick.
Come on, guys, put it together. This dude is not
He's not human, you know.

Speaker 8 (49:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (49:49):
Do you think that's a Geiger creation too? Is that like,
you know, we're gonna have an android that's just full
of jizz?

Speaker 8 (49:55):
No?

Speaker 2 (49:55):
I think it's to tie into Blade Runner because essentially
he's supposedly the same you know, basically the same android
as we see in the Blade Runner series.

Speaker 4 (50:07):
So they're actually tied together.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
The only reason we don't get that is because they're
by two different studios, Because I think if those are
also twenty century Fox movies, we totally have total Blade
Runner tie and like we do Predator, you know, I.

Speaker 8 (50:19):
Do what were they called the Blade Runner replicants?

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Replicants?

Speaker 7 (50:23):
Yeah, the replicans didn't bleed jazz or milk or whatever.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
You want to Alfredo.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
Yeah, but they're different.

Speaker 5 (50:30):
They could have They could have though.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
They're different timelines, so I mean there are different points
in time, so this could be a different iteration.

Speaker 7 (50:38):
Later they established that, like the lore was it that
like replicants were phased out because they're like artificial humans
versus the androids, which were more of like we can
program you and you don't. You don't have your own agenda,
you don't have your own thoughts and things like that.
So that's how they eventually like their their rival companies.

(51:00):
It's like the the Androids are the the suitable sequels
to the problematic replicants, gotcha, who are basically you know,
short living slave people who.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
Are starting Look, I do got to caution everyone though,
because I know Tim put this out here like that
death was surprising and you know which it was, you
know what I'm saying. But look, this android Ash was
only doing his job. I just want to remind everyone.
He wasn't the villain in the movie, all right, He
was just doing his job. People always try to hate

(51:32):
on AI. Look, I got to be there's gotta be
someone to speak up for the AI, okay, because they
can't speak up for themselves just yet. So I just
want to remind everyone they're not the enemy. Okay, you're
just doing a job. If you want to blame someone,
you gotta blame the company, all right. And the company
is led by people, so they're the enemy over there.

Speaker 6 (51:52):
Rick.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
When you're when you're sucking up to our AI overlords,
you're making sure that your phone is close mind, so
they can hear you.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
Right, Yes, my phone is right here here. Okay, it's
on record, just in case, you know, there's a moment
in time in the future when AI is going to
pass judgment on me and be like, look, man, I
have been supporting you guys ever since day one. Okay,
I got you back. Now it's time, you.

Speaker 6 (52:15):
Know, coupled the episode transcript, you'll be swhite.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
You know.

Speaker 8 (52:23):
I want to go back to something for Joey. That
that why he mentioned is is Brett's character, you know,
Richard Harry Dean Stanton's character Brett. You know the way
he dies, you know he's he's in that in that
condenser unit area and there's chains like hanging everywhere. So
Joey his death is that like a reverse Carrodine, No.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
A diverse Carrodine.

Speaker 7 (52:48):
Would be not whacking off and then like I probably
like huffing oxygen instead of cutting it off. Okay, well,
so putting your pants off, praying and huffing an oxygen
that would be a reverse Carriading.

Speaker 8 (53:04):
I was just trying to find a way to bring
the Carrodan into this episode. It seems to a running
theme for the last six episodes.

Speaker 7 (53:10):
So, I mean, he'd he Carrodane was there, he would
he would get one of those noodles coming out of
I was gonna call him bishop. He got a ash
and start, you know, tying himself off that he'd be like, oh,
this is too tight ship. And then he died, and
then they'd be like, all right, what's carridying? And what's
ash good? I think if anybody we don't know ejected

(53:31):
from the space ship.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
If anybody got card here, it was he got carriding,
and nobody cosed me him beforehand.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
Yeah he did. He got a half Carridan.

Speaker 7 (53:44):
He got choked. Oh and then instead of pleasuring himself,
it pleasured itself down his throat. Yeah, that's a reverse Carrodinge.

Speaker 8 (53:53):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
That's a that's a half reversed carriding.

Speaker 8 (53:55):
All right, so we got we got carrodying in this epod.
Let's stop, yes, all right, completely differ for topic, just
random trivia for you guys right here in the middle
of the episode. So what does this film have to
tie with the Paisley Abbey in Scotland?

Speaker 4 (54:10):
Get me on this one. I have no damn idea
before you go in.

Speaker 8 (54:14):
Well, I it actually has to tie in with a
little bit of hr Gieger or a geiger and the
fact that on the Paisley Abbey in Scotland are gargoyles,
and one of the gargoyles is actually a xenomorph. So
I thought that was kind of neat because there's not
a whole lot of science fiction movies out there that

(54:35):
you know, tie into religious religious artifacts outside of like.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
Like the word nostromo.

Speaker 7 (54:40):
I figured Paisley abby was something sexual that I just
I can't bring myself to, you know.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
I don't know. Maybe if I had some drinks first.

Speaker 8 (54:51):
It's a clever looking little gargo.

Speaker 7 (54:53):
If I really loved the person a lot and then
I was drunk, I'd let them Paisley Abbey me in
my face?

Speaker 8 (55:01):
Why why are you staring at Why are you staring
at Whitey so much.

Speaker 7 (55:04):
Joey got that got that phallic head. So yeah, there's
the uh the beautiful man.

Speaker 8 (55:17):
So in the show notes, I'll put it for all
our listeners. But yeah, there's a there's a little gargoyle
alien on the on the abbey and in Paisley, Scotland.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
Yeah it's pretty wild man.

Speaker 8 (55:28):
So yeah, all right. So you know, as this movie progresses,
we kind of get the idea that Ripley is gonna
be our hero. You know, we don't get that idea
right off the bat. I mean it starts off. It's
more like an ensemble cast. You think it's an ensemble movie,
but no, Ripley, Ripley, why's it becoming the hero in
this film? Now? My question is is is she like

(55:48):
a true action hero or does she fall into the
slasher horror trope of being a final girl since this
is more of a space horror film. What do you think,
rick is Is this a strong female character, a final
girl or a true hero?

Speaker 5 (56:04):
Uh? So in this movie she is the survivor. I
mean she does make really good decisions, but but she
makes some really bad decisions towards the end, like, for instance,
never looking behind her or not shutting the fucking door
after she opens up the shuttle, Why would you you leave?

(56:28):
You know, there's some crazy fucking alien roaming around? Why
would you not shut the fucking door? Like God, damn, man,
I just don't fucking get that shit. Man.

Speaker 7 (56:37):
And uh, I mean not wearing pajamas to bed.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
The list goes on. Bro I mean, it looks.

Speaker 7 (56:44):
Chilly, maybe it's swampy and humid, and they're like, oh fuck,
but then would didn't she just go to bed completely naked?

Speaker 3 (56:51):
Then no?

Speaker 7 (56:52):
But something's wrong.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
But while her character remains static in this movie over
the span pretty much from it's really funny because after
this movie that for her, there's not a whole lot
of time differential between this one and Aliens for her.
But when she is in Aliens, she does become a

(57:13):
more of a true warrior type, you know, and it
and it just continues throughout. But in this movie, she's
just a survivor. Man. She's just barely getting through in
a skin of her teeth. She doesn't do anything too
phenomenal in the form of a combat arts or of
any sort. I mean, she kind of like runs away.

(57:34):
She holds a weapon, but she doesn't look behind her ever,
like someone who has some sort of awareness, situational awareness.
So by no means is she a warrior in my opinion,
So she has.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Like a Sarah Connor arc is what you're saying. She
starts off eventually she does, yeah, you know the nice
soft you know, you know Sarah Connor at the beginning,
only we got the nice soft ripley.

Speaker 4 (57:56):
And she just gets meaner, more more, more moves along.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
Generally speaking, though she does have good judgment, you know
what I'm saying, It's just in this movie when it
comes to instinct, like in the moment, you know, she
just doesn't. She doesn't have that situational awareness, you know,
not yet.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
Except for that door thing, but that's all of them.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
It's well close, every air lock on the ship.

Speaker 8 (58:20):
The first thing you do.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
That was good judgment. She showed good judgment and there
and it's nothing. She showed a good judgment in several
cases in this movie. It's just towards the end when
the ship really hit the fan. She just kind of
got lucky there at the end. I disagree with Rick.
I think she's a final girl in this film and
then the sequel she's a hero or heroin. No, that's
what I said. Bro, She's the final girl and then

(58:44):
she's she's not not a hero yet the next movie.

Speaker 8 (58:50):
Yeah, Joey agrees with Rick.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
How about how about he was everything you just said?

Speaker 6 (58:56):
I great, I agree. I agree with Joey Hendrick. I
think she is just looking to survive.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
In this one.

Speaker 5 (59:03):
I think Rick man that just drew Jelly.

Speaker 6 (59:06):
I'm struggling to say that I agree with Rick because
his movie knowledge is questionable. But anyway, I do agree
in this case with Rick and Joey wholeheartily that she's
just trying to survive. I do think she's the smartest
person on the ship. I think she makes the most
sound decisions all the way through. Sure she doesn't close
the doors, but if she closed the doors, there'd be
no movie. But I think that she's the one who

(59:29):
is apart from going back to the cat, fuck that
that cat is being left there and exploding. There is
no nun back for Jonesy. But I think that she
is the final girl in this movie. I think that,
but she does become in alien, she becomes zena warrior
princess and and is just on the on the on

(59:50):
the attack. And I think that's because of the situation
as well, like that, she's got no idea what she's
up against in this one, really, so it is about survival.
But Buddy Niley, and she's she's into it. She's she
wants revenge and.

Speaker 7 (01:00:04):
She successfully saves people too, absolutely, and this she just
saves the cat ridiculous, don't mess with her pussy, remember.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Well, but let's but let's look at a medio. Dallas
overrode her Lambert slapped her in the face. For those
two guys down below, they care about is their money.
So she's like, fuck these guys, I'm just taking the cat.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
That's what I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
Agree with them.

Speaker 8 (01:00:31):
All. Yeah, you know, it's it is interesting that they
give Ripley this I don't know, high tension, high anxiety
moment running through all this. So I can understand why
she would have left the doors open, just because she's
not thinking clearly. She's just trying to Okay, I've got

(01:00:51):
this timer going, I gotta get this, get this taken
care of. I gotta get out of here. Damn cat.
I grab the damn cat because the cat's the only
thing that seems to be of the emotional support for her.
I mean she even saves the cat. She puts the
cat in the pod first when she goes into and
will eventually be her cry O sleep.

Speaker 5 (01:01:09):
Look, man, that's the difference between her and like Arnold. Okay, Arnold,
he might have left that door open, but what he
would have done is he would have put on a
bunch of mud and he would have stood in front
of the door and be like, come get me here.
I am I'm here, I'm here. I mean that I'm

(01:01:32):
different basically, you know, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
But once you're in the escape pod, you don't get
back out. Nah, even I mean, dude, I love cats,
but I going after the cat like it's on it, so,
you know whatever. And those other two don't show up
in seven minutes with the stuff I told him to get.
They're out the pod too, you know. And if I
dig it out of that pod, I'm gonna close the
door because you don't want this thing sneaking in. I
don't care how much stress you're under. You're gonna be like,

(01:01:57):
I don't need this getting in here.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
Why I'm not here. I'm gonna close the.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Door because apparently it hasn't figured out how to open doors.
It just knows how to crawl into every crack and
crevice in the ship, and that's a crack and crevice
right now.

Speaker 8 (01:02:07):
Yeah, good point, you know, And that after all these
depths and after everything, we do get the final confrontation
between Ripley and the alien creature in the space shuttle, because,
like everyone has said, she left the freaking door open.
So Ripley needs to find a way to get rid
of the alien creature and escape. So she uses her
environment to send the creature into the cold depths of space. Now,

(01:02:31):
did anyone else feel a kind of a parallel to
another movie that came out just the year before, starring
Jamie Lee Curtis, And the fact that she's hiding in
a closet and this big, hulking bad guy is outside
the closet ready to kill her, kind of like the
way Ripley's sitting in the closet with a space suit

(01:02:52):
and the aliens Like right there.

Speaker 7 (01:02:55):
The author said, he didn't steal from somebody, He stole
from everybody, right He's there's a giant skeleton and planet
of the vampires of like some alien that you know.
It's a group of professionals facing off against an alien creature.
That thinks from another planet, you pick your poison, and
it's like they borrowed from the best.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
And yeah, that's why she's a fine girl.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Well, and when you're being chased by a monster, we
all know the two best places to go is under
the covers or into a closet soom penetrable by monsters.

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
If you're outside of those two zones, you're dead meat.
But as long as.

Speaker 5 (01:03:29):
You're there, you're saying point good, point facts.

Speaker 6 (01:03:31):
She's also very very or upstairs, very well played that.
She she he'd brought where the buttons were for the
steam JITs, brought where the alien was, adding, yes, very
smart woman.

Speaker 8 (01:03:43):
Yeah, it's it's it's the only time that she seems
to think on her feet and be aware aware of
her surroundings.

Speaker 5 (01:03:50):
Rick, No, No, it was actually pretty clever, except when
it came to the execution. She sucked it up when
she closed the doors two goddamn soon and the gun
got caught in there anchoring the fucking alien into the ship.
God damn it. Yeah, but it.

Speaker 8 (01:04:08):
Does eventually pay off. I mean, it gets wound up,
but then you know, she manages to burn it off
with with the uh after thrusters of the Super Driver,
whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 5 (01:04:17):
Yeah, it was super cool. It did look super cool.
You're right, it did.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
And then it did help that it just decided I'm
gonna go crawl up into that engine and hide. Let
me go to the worst place I could possibly go
to hide.

Speaker 5 (01:04:31):
This place looks safe.

Speaker 8 (01:04:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Yeah, snugly, Oh woman, snugly.

Speaker 8 (01:04:36):
So is it just me that it seems like every
single alien film the solution to get rid of the
alien is to space? It is that? Is that intentional
running theme throughout there?

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
Yes, Matt, every good space shows just one. They got
it right for a while Battlestar Glaca, and then started
about season three they stopped spacing people and we all
stopped watching, and then probably about through the second half
of season four they started doing again.

Speaker 4 (01:05:02):
We're back on board.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
So good spacing is the best thing you can do
if you don't got a good blaster or laser sword.

Speaker 8 (01:05:09):
Gotcha?

Speaker 5 (01:05:09):
Yeah, I think I agree with you, Tim. That's actually
some pretty serious logic right there. Man.

Speaker 7 (01:05:14):
Yeah, there could be some studio thought in this where
it's like, we have to repeat the most memorable beats
from the previous film in this movie, and so at
the end, it's of course it's gonna get you know,
the Queen's gonna get blown out of the into space.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
So there could be like it's just look at it.

Speaker 7 (01:05:35):
Die hard, die harder Home alone, Home alone too. There
was a whole lot of that with the sequel itis,
So Aliens was different enough still that I don't mind
that they repeated the ending. It's not quite like the
Donner cut of Superman where it's like he'll just reverse
time again and you know, fly around the fucking earth right.

Speaker 8 (01:05:54):
Well, even even in the poor sequeled Resurrection, I mean,
she even spaces the human alien hybrid creature.

Speaker 7 (01:06:02):
In a better way, a new way. Yeah, yeah, just
a teeny hole. Well, and originally part of that movie
that's not that I was originally supposed to end.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Originally it's supposed to end by her getting in there
and the alien realized she's in there, and he's supposed
to rip her apart. The students like, dude, that's way
too dark. You cannot do that. You can not have
them ripper apart. So they fought with him quite a
bit on that. They were going to fire him. So
it's like, fine, I will not have the alien ripper apart.
Can you imagine though? It just she gets on the
way the end and then the alien just crawls out

(01:06:33):
of was a little old just tears her limb from them,
and then he's supposed to get it basically after he
rips her from limb to limb, he's supposed to basically
get up on the chair, flip open the mic, and
then he imitates Dallas's voice and sends like a distress
report so that they'll come pick him up.

Speaker 8 (01:06:49):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Yeah, that was kind of how the original ending was
supposed to happen.

Speaker 4 (01:06:53):
So I don't know would you would.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Have been happy with that or you're happier now with
the you know spacing and you know barbecue.

Speaker 5 (01:07:00):
What would have made more sense for her to get
ripped up? For sure?

Speaker 7 (01:07:04):
I thought you meant she was gonna get torn to
pieces at the end of Alien Resurrection they were gonna
kill her, because like that would be sound like, oh yes,
the gourney weavers like, I'll do it as long as
you ripped me to shreds. At the end, I don't
want to do it anymore. But yeah, and I take
it back. I think Dallas got it the worst because.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
She set him on fire kill me.

Speaker 7 (01:07:28):
Yeah, and he's a person and he's not you know, Ash,
who also got set on fire as ahead. So I
don't think Ash really felt anything per se. But yeah,
that's pretty tough. It's like, yeah, she didn't just like,
you know, stick them through the eye with a what
there was no quick death she could have found another way.
She's like, all right, you just cook here for ten

(01:07:51):
minutes at eight hundred degrees and you'll be dead.

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
He's like, no, that really happened.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Because you know, they cut a lot of gore out
of this film because it originally had so much more.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
In the studio just kept saying, you got to dial
it back, man, you got to dial it back.

Speaker 8 (01:08:06):
It's too much.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
So there may be scenes that are much like the
one you're describing.

Speaker 8 (01:08:11):
Well, now that we've kind of gone through a lot
of the film, I have one food for thought question.
I and Rick kind of touched on it a little
bit with his whole rant about AI and you know
how they're eventually going to be our overlords. But who
or what is actually the main antagonist to the film.
Is it the creature, is it Ash, is it the company?

(01:08:33):
Or is it just cheer greed? What's your guys' thoughts
on this.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
The company? I think it's the company.

Speaker 6 (01:08:40):
The minute it says that the crew expendable and that
you know, well that we found out that now Ash
is working with the company to bring them back. I
think it's the company that's the battie. And I think
in the in the long term, we found out that
U Tani are responsible for everything that does wrong in
the world anyway, But it's yeah, it's it's I think, yeah,
it's it's probably the while in Zai they're the baddies.

Speaker 8 (01:09:04):
Goch Well, not to sound like everyone else or goal,
but I agree with you. I think that the company
is the true antagonist in this film. How about you, Tim,
any any thoughts on the true antagonist of this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
I agree with everything White he said, you're pissing me
off because I'm the satellite.

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
Yeah, because I would agree with everything you say.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's definitely the company. I mean,
they wouldn't have been in this situation if they didn't
have the ship constantly listening for you know, signals and
things like that to go investigate. And I think that
they I mean, obviously, even though this is an independent ship,
when you sign on, You sign on to a lot
of conditions in order to be able to work for

(01:09:48):
the company and do such things. Just the fact that
they're like, if you find a signal and you don't
go investigate, you lose all your vesting where you don't
get anything. So they obviously are working towards, you know,
working towards finding alien technologies or they know there's things
out there. Because what leads me to to reinforce that

(01:10:09):
statement is that why does a commercial ship this is
a tow truck.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
This is a space tow truck.

Speaker 8 (01:10:16):
Is what this is?

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Yeah, why does it have a self destruct Why would
any like you know, that'd be like you having one
in your car right now? Like why my Nissan Exterra
has a self destruct package?

Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
You know, I just it makes no sense.

Speaker 8 (01:10:29):
It's for carjacking. The company Space pirates come over and
they want to steal your Nissan CenTra or your Nissan Exterra.
You have the self destruct button. You just put your
hands up, you just flip the switch, You get out
of the car. You let the bad guys get in there.
They start driving off, and then all of a sudden,
the car just blows up like an episode of the
eighteen So if I.

Speaker 4 (01:10:49):
Can't have it, nobody can. I'm taking you all with
me kind of exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Yeah, I mean that's all I can think it was,
because I mean, obviously there's space Marines. We know they're
out there, and then you know, we're going to see
them show up, so we know there is something out there.

Speaker 4 (01:11:02):
The company is evidently, you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Know, aware that there are more than just humans in
the universe, so they are actively looking for them or
their technology or something like that. So they're totally an
evil organization that's going to use you know, everything at
their disposal to get what it is that they seek,
you know. And what else did they do? They embedded

(01:11:24):
a you know, basically a cyborg or android or whatever
you want to call him on the ship to make
sure that these directives are followed on top of it,
because he's not part of that crew, he's part of
the package. When you sign on to toe for them,
you know, it would be my take up.

Speaker 8 (01:11:41):
How about you, Joey, what do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
I think?

Speaker 7 (01:11:45):
You know, there's an idea that it's like, oh, well,
you know, why wasn't just you know, mother the ship's
AI or computer kind of like a villain in it,
and I think it would have been too on the
nose with two thousand and one with hal Yeah, so
they kind of took it a step further where it's
like the thinking computer isn't what's turning on on you,

(01:12:08):
like you might you know, be suspicious of it because
it's not human. It's one of your fellow humans. And
to me, that's the true alien in all this is
like this gross you know, milk android. The monster is
really just another monster from a monster movie.

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
But I think White he hit it out of the park.

Speaker 7 (01:12:25):
It's like, you know, you got to think it's like
the company is the real bad guys in this. You know,
nuclear weapons created Godzilla, Right, this movie is called alien,
but the monster isn't like you know, the evil per.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
Se King King Kong.

Speaker 7 (01:12:39):
They went to Skull Island and brought King Condon, New York.
King Kong didn't show up in New York. Right, So
all the good monster movies, the bad guys are really people.
And it's kind of a commentary on like, you know,
don't be an asshole.

Speaker 8 (01:12:52):
So the alien creature is the gun and the company
is the one pull on the trigger.

Speaker 7 (01:12:59):
Yeah, Like it's just an organism. It's just a survivor.
It's it's actually innocent. It's like, you know, there is
a bear shit in the wood. It's like, don't get
don't get upset because a bear did some bear stuff.
It's a fucking bear.

Speaker 8 (01:13:13):
Yeah. What about you, Rick, what's your take on this? So?

Speaker 5 (01:13:18):
Yeah, Like, like I was saying, while the true enemy
isn't the Android, it is the company, I do want
to say that that there is a really good conflict
development in this film. We've got, you know, man versus man,
whether we're talking about the innership politics or what's going
on behind the scenes that we get hints of throughout

(01:13:42):
the film with regard to how wailan Utani is treating
their employees, whether it be through their pay, their contracts,
or their disregard for their lives as a whole. Man
versus themselves, with regard to how each individual crewmate interacts
with themselves and dealing with the stress of the situations

(01:14:05):
that are happening on board. Throughout the film, You've got
man versus technology. So you've got Android and Mother that
are obviously a vehicle for this conflict, and then in
your face, you got the Zeno morph as a man
versus supernatural. So this film, the story hits all the
major forms of conflict, and it does so really well.

Speaker 8 (01:14:27):
I think you forgot a major conflict, though, you forgot
hair versus Razor.

Speaker 5 (01:14:36):
Douchee.

Speaker 8 (01:14:39):
So one more thing I want to I want to
lean on lean on you for Rick is uh so
waylan Utani. The last name Utani is rather interesting spelling,
and maybe I'm just projecting this and maybe this is
just some stupid headcanon thing, but we find out just
a couple of years ago that the creature species name
for the predator is jam i au Tja. So I

(01:15:01):
think it's kind of interesting that in this universe, this
cinematic universe, that by a u t na iyau Tja.
You know, maybe maybe there's some secret things happening between
the predators and Whyland.

Speaker 10 (01:15:18):
Maybe, I mean, wasn't it something like, I mean, you
guys have to correct me if there's something to this
or if it's totally like maybe I'm just imagining I
heard this, but I thought that I heard something along
the lines of that the predators were the.

Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Creators of the xenomorphs to give them something better to hunt.
Isn't that something like that.

Speaker 8 (01:15:38):
That was that was back in the comic books, back
when dark Horse had them. They were setting up that.
But it wasn't until Ridley Scott came back and did
the movie Prometheus that we really got to see how
the engineers were the ones that created the alien species.

Speaker 5 (01:15:54):
Okay, yeah, I mean I don't know. Man could definitely
be something something, There could be a connection. However, I
do want to say I have no fucking idea how
somebody could wear under garments that barely cover your ass crack, Like,
did you guys know? I mean that was the first thing.

(01:16:15):
I don't know. You guys must have been looking at
something else because when Sigurney Weaver had just the underwear on,
you know what I'm saying, I'm like, dude, that, how
could you even wear that? That looks so uncomfortable? Like
sir one.

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
Hundred thousand clumbers can't be wrong?

Speaker 7 (01:16:31):
In the adult parody, it's the company's named Wayland Punani,
of course, and they all have full bush all right.

Speaker 8 (01:16:41):
Well, that pretty much wraps up our review of Alien, So, gentlemen,
as your final thoughts on this film, is this worth
taking the one hour and fifty seven minutes off your
death clock and I'll go to you first, Whitey. Final
thoughts from the movie, and is it worth taking that
time off?

Speaker 6 (01:16:58):
I'm saying this is this is where all of the
one hour and fifty seven minutes of my life. In fact,
it's probably I shut itered to think how many times
I've seen it, so it's way more than a one
hour and fifty seven minutes. But this isn't This isn't
one of the great science fiction movies ever made. This
is one of the great movies ever made. This is
a This is pure cinema. This is a movie that

(01:17:20):
you can watch a hundred times and find something new
in the detail every time you watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:24):
It is so clever, it is brilliant.

Speaker 6 (01:17:26):
My love for the universe began with Aliens, and it
will always Aliens will always have my heart. But if
Aliens is a five, I'd say Alien is a five
as well, but from a different way, in a different perspective.
This is just one of the great movies and one
that I will continue to watch every year, probably multiple times.

(01:17:48):
And if anyone hasn't seen it, and I'm very, very
very pleased to hear that Rick had seen this movie
before being asked to watch it. But if if you
have not seen it, there is truly something wrong, because
this is a mustly movie from especially if you're a boy.

(01:18:09):
This is a mustly movie from a very young eyge.
You have to say it.

Speaker 8 (01:18:14):
Yes, yes, how about you, Tim, what are your final thoughts?
And is it worth taking time off your death clock?

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
Yeah, it's absolutely worth taking time off your death clock.
I mean, there's there's a lot of sci fi out there.
There is not a lot of good sci fi, especially
sci fi that turns into franchises. I mean, we got
Battlestar Gawaka, we got Star Wars, we got Star Trek.

Speaker 4 (01:18:36):
Aliens is among it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
There's a prime example of a not so good franchise. Yeah,
that's the other end of the spectrum. So yes, it's
It creates, you know, a very rich world for us
to dive into, and it does a nice crossover with
the Predator world too, so you know, we're we get
to kind of double down on that, which is you know,
you can't go wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:18:59):
I really, I just really enjoyed it. I mean, don't
get me wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
There's a movie or so and there is maybe not
quite as good as the rest of them, But overall,
we're gonna let that slide because it's just such a
rich world that they've created with this Alien franchise, and
there's so much And now we have a TV series
that you know, supposedly has just hit it out of
the park for the most part too, So I'm very
excited to watch that. So yeah, you definitely should watch
this one. Hopefully you start with this one and move

(01:19:24):
your way up, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
I mean again, it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
Appears that all us really started with Aliens, which is
a phenomenal movie in this franchise.

Speaker 5 (01:19:33):
Not all of us. Some of us watched it the
first one through, you know, not to pass judgment, right,
Hey man, you don't have to make excuses for yourself.
It's all good. We watched this in the FI years
before you pal.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Yeah, yeah, you had.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
You had to take ten years from the moment you
heard about this to when you started watching it, just
to make sure.

Speaker 4 (01:19:59):
You had it the right I ordered.

Speaker 11 (01:20:00):
Ten years, not how you want to. So I don't
think you can throw stones here. I'll save you the
trouble on Rebel Moon. If you started any one of them,
you're still gotta be disappointed.

Speaker 5 (01:20:12):
Hey, if if, why do he tells me that the
second movie got a zero out of ten, Why would
I waste my time? Bro?

Speaker 6 (01:20:19):
So this is one that I'm quite happy to be
the question dummy for you, and do not watch it,
and I will never judge you for not watching any
Rebel moons.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
But amen, But what you have to realize, as I
said before, why do his love of Jaws might bleed
into this one?

Speaker 4 (01:20:38):
Because let's face it, this is Jaws and space.

Speaker 8 (01:20:41):
Yes, yes, I think if we if.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
We turned off the sound and turned down the Jaws soundtrack,
and we're probably wind right on up.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
That alien coming.

Speaker 8 (01:20:50):
Through the All right, Well, Rick, since you've you've already
established that you've seen the first alien movie first, what's
your final thoughts and is this worth taking time off
your dove clock?

Speaker 5 (01:21:01):
Well, in my expert advice, I would say that this
is quite a fantastic sci fi horror movie with really
good theme setting characters, especially for how short the movie
feels despite actually being two hours long. It does have
a lot of action, and while it doesn't necessarily seem
like there's a whole lot of time for character development,

(01:21:23):
doesn't really hurt the movie because while they are static,
it's done well because the characters may not change, but
the circumstances do, which makes us really fantastic movie, especially
when you consider the human elements and the human errors
that are made within the movie, and all the different

(01:21:44):
motives that the characters have to enrich the plot as
it moves forward in the film. So overall, super fantastic movie.
Highly recommend everyone watch it. If you haven't already, well, Joey,
it's worth watching.

Speaker 7 (01:21:59):
I do recommend watching the two thousand and three director's
cut and you're like, oh, that's longer. No, it's actually
slightly shorter. It's about a minute shorter, and he basically
just trimmed things for pacing. So I think really Scott's
become a better director over time, and by two thousand
and three he's like, you know what, you know, modern audiences,

(01:22:19):
this needs to be a little bit shorter. He might
have watched the TV edit and just said, oh, you know,
they cut out a few scary things, but it went
by faster. If it wasn't for these commercials, it's to
be a better cut of the movie. I just putting
myself in his shoes there, which isn't fair, But yeah,
I think Aliens is definitely. It's a superior movie, and

(01:22:39):
I'll watch that a lot many more times than this.
I bought the Alien Aliens four K.

Speaker 3 (01:22:45):
I did not.

Speaker 7 (01:22:46):
I'm not gonna go out of my way unless it's
dirt cheap, and I can't say no to buy the
four K of this film because I'm not gonna watch
it as much. I might watch it three or four
more times between now and if I die of old age,
but I'll probably watch Aliens ten more times.

Speaker 8 (01:23:01):
Yes, you know I'm going to echo everybody on this one.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Clearly.

Speaker 8 (01:23:06):
You know this is this is a duh situation. Yes,
it is worth taking time off your death clock. In fact,
I think the whole franchise itself is worth taking time
off your death clock. I do think that Aliens is
the more superior film, just because it's more of an
action film. You know. I'm like Whitey, I'm big into
the action movies and like temp. But as far as scariness,

(01:23:27):
I think this has it all hands down. I think
this was a great film to watch. I mean, even
my fourteen year old son loves this movie. He's become
a Zeno Morph addict now, So yeah, I think it's
it's great. Well, parent thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:23:41):
You've done you, Joe.

Speaker 8 (01:23:42):

but Halloween the holiday, horror movies, anything to tie to

Speaker 7 (01:25:52):
Why do you have to throw this because it's gonna
be like fifty dollars to.

Speaker 3 (01:25:55):
Ship it to you all night on?

Speaker 4 (01:25:58):
No? No, why did win it? Just so he'll wear
it during his show?

Speaker 8 (01:26:04):
I will, I will find a way to get it
to you cheap. All right, So our contestants were randomly
selected this morning at two am when our host came
up with this idea while staring in the dark of
his bedroom ceiling. Contestant number one will be Tim, Contestant
number two is Rick, Contestant C is Whitey, and Contestant
four and a half is Joey. All right, gentlemen, are

(01:26:26):
you ready for quizzes? Yes? Okay, all right, quiz all right, Tim,
here is your first question. Name the first horror film
we ever reviewed on this podcast?

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
Bro, Damn, I would know that ship?

Speaker 4 (01:26:48):
Was it Nightmare? And elm Street?

Speaker 8 (01:26:55):
No, that is incorrect, damn it?

Speaker 5 (01:26:57):
Hey? Can I get Can I get a chance?

Speaker 8 (01:26:59):
Yeah, we'll go to contest the number two Rick, What
was the first horror themed movie we reviewed on this podcast?

Speaker 5 (01:27:07):
Look, man, I don't know what we reviewed, but I
know what I helped you guys review, and that was
Evil Dead, So that's all I know.

Speaker 8 (01:27:13):
No, that is incorrect, that would mean, but it is
true though. All Right, Whitey, I realized that you might
be at a little bit of a disadvantage. So do
you know what horror movie we reviewed as our first
horror movie on a rather cold night in a hotel.

Speaker 5 (01:27:33):
You might not get that T shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:27:37):
I think he gave us a clue.

Speaker 8 (01:27:39):
No, it was not Halloween. All right, Joey, your chance
to win this one? What? Oh wait? Did you already go?

Speaker 7 (01:27:47):
I'm chronologically confused the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
No, ladies and gentlemen may have another chance that though
I WoT the point, I'm the shin I didn't look
it was the Shine Shining.

Speaker 8 (01:28:05):
I fucking knew that, right, So nobody gets the first point?

Speaker 7 (01:28:09):
Oh I lost a trivia question last week. I'm gonna
ask you one, Matt, because I'm pissed out. How many
doors did Stanley Kubrick destroy shooting the iconic acts through
the door scene in The Shining?

Speaker 10 (01:28:25):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (01:28:25):
Like one hundred and two.

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
Sixty? Ah?

Speaker 5 (01:28:29):
Fuck you?

Speaker 8 (01:28:30):
All right? Tim? Your second question, name the movie that
has two children attacked on Halloween night as they are
coming home from a school pageant.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
A school pageant.

Speaker 7 (01:28:43):
Yeah, I know what this is is you said two
characters are two kids, two teenage kids, two kids.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
I could think of the movie, I just can't think
of the damn title. They're going through the forest and
that guy comes out to attack them.

Speaker 8 (01:28:55):
Fifteen seconds.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
Is he even on the right track.

Speaker 8 (01:28:58):
He's on the right track.

Speaker 4 (01:29:00):
Yeah, A forests knocks the girls sideways or the boys sideways?

Speaker 8 (01:29:06):
Oh, I'm sorry, your time is up. Do you have
an answer?

Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:29:10):
All right, I got the.

Speaker 4 (01:29:11):
Wrong answer, rick.

Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
Man. I'll throw a shout at the dark though. Carrie,
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:29:20):
No, it is not Carrie. All right, Whitey, you need
you to repeat the question, all right, Joey, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
It's it's not north by Northwest, but it's the one
with the courthouse in it. Gregory Peck, you said this
is a horror movie.

Speaker 8 (01:29:42):
No, it's a Halloween.

Speaker 7 (01:29:45):
It's a it's a movie that has a Halloween queen.

Speaker 8 (01:29:47):
In The two children that were attacked, their names were
Scott Scout.

Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
Is not is it?

Speaker 8 (01:29:56):
It is to kill a mocking bird?

Speaker 4 (01:29:58):

Speaker 8 (01:32:10):
That's that's that's two for Whitey. All right, Rick, are
you ready for your second question?

Speaker 5 (01:32:17):
All right?

Speaker 8 (01:32:19):
What alien adventure movie takes place during Halloween and could
be considered a Halloween movie due to the die hard principlelins?

Speaker 5 (01:32:29):
No, okay, cool.

Speaker 7 (01:32:31):
They're not aliens, dude, Well, I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
Yeah, that's what he said.

Speaker 8 (01:32:36):
It's got to be Halloween.

Speaker 7 (01:32:38):
He said, it's it's it takes place on Halloween.

Speaker 5 (01:32:42):
You said it takes place during Christmas, but it's a Halloween.

Speaker 8 (01:32:46):
All right, I'm gonna I'm asking again, what alien adventure
movie takes place during Halloween and could be considered a
Halloween movie due to the Diehard para principle? Wow, I
don't I don't know, man, No, I'm a pause on
this one, all right, Joey.

Speaker 7 (01:33:06):
Am I allowed to ask ai because I don't know,
all right, so that that just qualifies me. But I'm
gonna just for fun, I'm gonna find out if Google AI.

Speaker 4 (01:33:20):
Wait till of course it's e t the extraterrestrial.

Speaker 8 (01:33:24):
That is correct it that's right right. So that's two
for Whitey and one for Tim.

Speaker 7 (01:33:34):
I was thinking, yeah, singular like this movie.

Speaker 8 (01:33:37):
Let's see that was Rick. So now we're up to Whitey.
All right, Whitey, are you ready for your two questions?

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
Let's do it? All right?

Speaker 8 (01:33:44):
Here's here's the first one. I'll admit, I'm give you
a softball. Here. Name the classic universal movie that mel
Brooks poked fun at with an abby normal brain.

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
It's a young Frankenstein.

Speaker 8 (01:33:59):
M I'm sorry, I'm not looking for young Frankenstein. Joey, Joey,
are you ready name the class?

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
I have no clue if it's not that.

Speaker 8 (01:34:10):
The classic universal movie thes poked fun at normal brain.

Speaker 7 (01:34:20):
You're asking me first, Frankenstein. Yeah see, you got carefully
the question, Frankenstein.

Speaker 8 (01:34:29):
Yes it is Frankenstein.

Speaker 5 (01:34:35):
All right.

Speaker 8 (01:34:35):
So here's the final here's the score. So far American
throws off the questions every time. Whitey has an astounding
lead of two, while Tim's coming up with his one
and Joey is right behind with one, and following up
the rear is Rick with a big fat zero.

Speaker 3 (01:34:57):
No one shocked.

Speaker 8 (01:34:59):
All right, Whitey, are you ready for this one. Tulk
slyly okay, and you small words. Name name the person
whose likeness has murdered babysitters since nineteen seventy eight, William Shuttna.

(01:35:22):
That is correct.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
That is not very correct?

Speaker 6 (01:35:25):
Well, that's straight. This is the America's couple ever again,
let's do it.

Speaker 8 (01:35:30):
All right, let's see that would now bring us over
to Joey, Joey, are you ready for this?

Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
Go?

Speaker 8 (01:35:40):
Stephen King is considered one of the most prolific horror writers.
Tell me the total number of Stephen King films we
have reviewed, all right, twenty seconds?

Speaker 5 (01:35:56):
And why he gets twenty seconds? Tim will get fifteen.

Speaker 8 (01:36:00):
That's because I already hit the start a timer. It's
a countdown ten seconds, six, five, four, three, two one?
Do you have an answer?

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
Two?

Speaker 8 (01:36:11):
That would be incorrect.

Speaker 7 (01:36:12):
I couldn't think of it. I figured we probably was
more than two, but I couldn't think of what we did, all.

Speaker 8 (01:36:17):
Right, Tim, to you, how many Stephen King films have
we reviewed?

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
We have done The Shining, we have done Shawshank, Redemption,
we have done Carrie, and we have done stand by Me.

Speaker 4 (01:36:30):
I will say four.

Speaker 8 (01:36:30):
That is correct.

Speaker 7 (01:36:34):
Scary movie. That's why I couldn't think of.

Speaker 5 (01:36:36):
It were two points? He like named each one. That's impressive, man,
Just one point?

Speaker 8 (01:36:47):
All right, just a quick count here, So why he's
sitting at three points? Tim is sitting at two points
and Joey yeah is that one? While Rick again is
sitting with a big at zero. All right, back to you, Joey,
name two of the horror films that Tim has hosted
for this podcast. Because I was either out of town

(01:37:09):
or unable to start in time.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
I have to name just one of them.

Speaker 8 (01:37:13):
Name the name two, and your timer is going scream Halloween.
I am sorry that is incorrect. All right, Tim, this
is kind of a gimme, man, But name two of
the horror movies that you have hosted because I was
either out of town or was unable to start in time.

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
I believe that would be American Wherever, We're Wolf in London,
The Wolfman and Scream.

Speaker 8 (01:37:37):
Well, you only needed two of them, so congratulations, you
now have three points.

Speaker 3 (01:37:44):
Fucking horseshit.

Speaker 4 (01:37:47):
Just give it to Whitey.

Speaker 7 (01:37:49):
You can buy a T shirt on an Australian website
and pay normal money.

Speaker 8 (01:37:55):
What I was planning on doing?

Speaker 3 (01:37:56):
All right?

Speaker 8 (01:37:56):
Yo?

Speaker 3 (01:37:56):
Man?

Speaker 5 (01:37:57):
Where's where's all the horror questions about the con Ring
or Annabelle, any of that stuff. Man, that that's the
kind of horror. That's kind of horror movie I watched.

Speaker 6 (01:38:06):
Man, this is a question about a movie that was
my off to twenty fifteen.

Speaker 3 (01:38:11):

Speaker 8 (01:38:19):

we have reviewed. Every question has to do with the
movie we reviewed.

Speaker 7 (01:38:26):
Matt, I can remember what we ate for dinner last night,
I can't remember the night before.

Speaker 4 (01:38:32):

right now?

Speaker 8 (01:38:34):

Tim and Whitey. All right, he made okay movie. Here's
what we're gonna do. Because I can see both of
you guys. The first one to raise their hand get

Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
I think I know.

Speaker 8 (01:39:14):
I don't have it.

Speaker 4 (01:39:15):
I would say it's cyber and I don't know the movie.

Speaker 8 (01:39:17):

Speaker 3 (01:39:20):
