Speaker 1: Welcome to Spacing Out with BB and Jason, this week
Speaker 1: covering the nineteen seventy nine film Alien.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Spacey Now.
Speaker 3: I'm BB and I'm Jason, and we are starting to
Speaker 3: discuss the Alien franchise, one movie at a time, and
Speaker 3: at the moment of this recording, the first film is
Speaker 3: available to stream on Hulu. This podcast is being released
Speaker 3: on two different podcast feeds, so if you have found
Speaker 3: it through the Spacing Out with Alien podcast feed, then
Speaker 3: I invite you to check out our main channel, Spacing
Speaker 3: Out with BB and Jason, where we have covered things
Speaker 3: like Battlestar Galactica star trek Our Flagman's death, plus many
Speaker 3: more thanks to come. So, we are only discussing the
Speaker 3: first Alien movie today, so if there is any discussion
Speaker 3: of other entries into the franchise, we will save that
Speaker 3: for a spoiler section at the end of the podcast,
Speaker 3: So if you haven't seen the other movies yet, we
Speaker 3: will shield you from spoilers. Although, to be honest, my
Speaker 3: memory of the other movies are not that great, not
Speaker 3: that great, so I know.
Speaker 2: The memories suck. The memories are just like, oh, just
Speaker 2: remember bad memories. That's what it sounded like. Like you
Speaker 2: only have bad memories about the book.
Speaker 3: No, I just have a poor memory, that's what I was. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 3: I've definitely seen the first two movies multiple times, but.
Speaker 2: I feel like I've seen this first movie once. Maybe,
Speaker 2: but I was not cognitively proficient. It was a long
Speaker 2: time ago.
Speaker 3: But for now we are talking about Alien, which originally
Speaker 3: premiered May twenty fifth, nineteen seventy nine, written by Dan O'Bannon,
Speaker 3: with a story by Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Triushtt, and directed
Speaker 3: by Ridley Scott. A quick plot summary. In the distant future,
Speaker 3: the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo is on its
Speaker 3: way home when the crew picks up a distress call
Speaker 3: from a distant moon. The crew is under obligation to investigate,
Speaker 3: and the spaceship descends on the small planetoid afterward, after
Speaker 3: a rough landing, three crew members leave the spaceship to
Speaker 3: explore the area on the planetoid. At the same time,
Speaker 3: as the crew discovers a hive colony of some unknown creature.
Speaker 3: Of the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a warning,
Speaker 3: not a just stress call. When one of the eggs
Speaker 3: is disturbed, the crew realizes it is not alone on
Speaker 3: the spaceship and must deal with the consequences. I pulled
Speaker 3: this from IMDb, and it's definitely like a promotional plot
Speaker 3: summary because it doesn't really go into what else happens.
Speaker 1: But right, vibe check. Did we like the movie overall?
Speaker 1: How does it stand the test of time?
Speaker 3: Alien nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 2: It's a classic. I don't know, it feels like when
Speaker 2: I was watching it, I'm like, oh, this movie's old,
Speaker 2: but somehow it felt super authentic. So I really enjoyed
Speaker 2: it even though it was like from the seventies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's just definitely something like really like
Speaker 3: authentic I guess about it, And yeah.
Speaker 2: It like stands the test of time, as you would say,
Speaker 2: and it still feels relevant somehow. We've been in like
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, like a company like calling a crew
Speaker 2: expendable at the cost, like willing to sacrifice the lives
Speaker 2: of humans in order for them to profit off of
Speaker 2: a military advantage. Yeah, so it's like very relatable, Like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very like simple in that regard that. Like
Speaker 3: we've got seven characters, I think, and it's all on
Speaker 3: the spaceship and on the planet right there, Like there's
Speaker 3: no other like world building happening.
Speaker 2: Right, But there's plenty of world building just with the
Speaker 2: sets themselves, Like you can tell it's not of this time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I'm sure back in the seventies this movie was
Speaker 2: like crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I've definitely seen this a few times, and
Speaker 3: I'm always like, I know, I just like I forget
Speaker 3: the specifics of it, and so it's always really fresh
Speaker 3: when I rewatch it.
Speaker 2: Nice. So I liked it, and I do think it
Speaker 2: stands the test of time. Like I would recommend this
Speaker 2: film to somebody who wanted to see like a sci
Speaker 2: fi thriller. I think it's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is forty five years old.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 3: Apparently they had it in theaters early this year.
Speaker 2: Oh we missed it yep, back in May probably right?
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, trivia time?
Speaker 1: What facts could we uncover for Alien?
Speaker 2: All?
Speaker 3: Right? Trivia? I say this every time we cover a movie.
Speaker 3: There is tons and tons of trivia out there. For
Speaker 3: this movie, I'm just going to scrape the very like
Speaker 3: broad surface of it here. So if you're like, are
Speaker 3: an expert in alien trivia, I'm not going to tell
Speaker 3: you anything new.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I don't have any knowledge of it, so
Speaker 2: I'd be interested to see any nation.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you could buy like books on it
Speaker 3: at this point.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure, all right.
Speaker 3: So the script was in the work for several years
Speaker 3: before signing with twentieth Century Fox had the script produced,
Speaker 3: and the studio was initially not very interested in financing
Speaker 3: a science fiction film, but the success of Star Wars
Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy seven changed all that, so they went
Speaker 3: ahead with the only space script they had on their desk.
Speaker 2: Very different from Star Wars. Yeah, but I think in
Speaker 2: a lot of really great ways.
Speaker 3: Ridley Scott came on board as director and began creating
Speaker 3: storyboards for the look of the film, and these impressed
Speaker 3: the studio so much that they doubled the budget of
Speaker 3: the film.
Speaker 2: Wow, look at him, he's a doodler.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like, what if it looked really cool?
Speaker 2: What if it looked like this, like ancient science Like
Speaker 2: it's like somehow ancient looking but very like technologically advanced,
Speaker 2: like rig Or Spaceship. I love it. It's great.
Speaker 3: Alien originally was to conclude with the destruction of the
Speaker 3: Nostromo while Ripley escapes in the shuttle However, Scott conceived
Speaker 3: of the fourth act to the film, in which the
Speaker 3: alien appears on the shuttle and Ripley is forced to
Speaker 3: confront it. He pitched the idea of the twentieth century
Speaker 3: Fox and negotiated another budget increased the film the scene
Speaker 3: of the Next Few Days Wow. A crew of over
Speaker 3: two hundred craftspeople and technicians constructed the three principal sets,
Speaker 3: the surface of the alien planetoid, the interiors, and the
Speaker 3: stromo and the they're like spacecraft and like that's like
Speaker 3: that one point, like you can dive in and find
Speaker 3: so much information about how they created everything in the
Speaker 3: two hundred.
Speaker 2: People that's like bigger than most art schools in like
Speaker 2: like if or an art department, Like if you took
Speaker 2: like the ceramic, the the sculpture, the painting, the all
Speaker 2: of that two hundred people that it shows. I think
Speaker 2: it shows really like like the meticulous, thoughtful handwork that
Speaker 2: happened in this in this production, like the set design.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like art direction was on point. And I think
Speaker 3: that's one of the reasons this is such a classic.
Speaker 2: Right because I'm pretty damn sure this is a zero
Speaker 2: CGI film, so it's all like practical effects the only
Speaker 2: computer images were those nineteen eighties kind of TV screens
Speaker 2: that you saw, So it's a very cool to see
Speaker 2: the juxtaposition of all this handwork next to the very
Speaker 2: early images of what a computer was giving to people.
Speaker 3: The film utilizes lots of miniature photography, with models made
Speaker 3: of the different locations and chips. The space suits were thick, heavy, hot,
Speaker 3: and lacked ventilation, and eventually, after they shot for a while,
Speaker 3: oxygen systems were added to help the actors breathe.
Speaker 2: Thank god, they were like functioning space suits.
Speaker 3: No production stills of The Alien were released in order
Speaker 3: to keep the design of the creature surprised for audiences.
Speaker 2: It was freaky. I was creeped out.
Speaker 3: The initial cut of the film was over three hours long,
Speaker 3: and the final cut is one hundred and sixteen minutes.
Speaker 2: Three hours long. That's like Dune.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think that's pretty common.
Speaker 2: For a film to be three hours long. The initial stage, first.
Speaker 3: Cut, and then they could down find the right pacing
Speaker 3: for everything.
Speaker 2: They're like an extended cut of that original I wonder.
Speaker 3: Oh that's the next point.
Speaker 2: Oh okay.
Speaker 3: A director's cut was released in two thousand and three
Speaker 3: for The Alien. Quadrileogy box set, and some deleted scenes
Speaker 3: are restored, while other scenes are cut, causing this version
Speaker 3: to be slightly shorter, and Ridley Scott considers the theatrical
Speaker 3: cut to be the better one. So the studio had
Speaker 3: approached him with like restoring a lot of these scenes,
Speaker 3: but he didn't like how it slowed the movie down,
Speaker 3: so he chose to add some and take some albums
Speaker 3: create like kind of a different version. Alien has had
Speaker 3: a budget of eleven million and a box office gross
Speaker 3: of one hundred and eighty four million damn, and despite
Speaker 3: initial mixed reviews, Alien has received critical acclaim over the years,
Speaker 3: particularly for its realism and unique environment, and decided as
Speaker 3: one of the best films of nineteen seventy nine and
Speaker 3: is seen as one of the most influential science fiction films.
Speaker 3: Won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, was nominated
Speaker 3: for Best Art Direction, and it's also was nominated one
Speaker 3: several other awards as well, including a Hugo Award and
Speaker 3: several Saturn Awards. Alien has frequently been the subject of
Speaker 3: cinematic analysis, particularly the sexual imagery of the alien, non
Speaker 3: consensual reproduction, the male fear of penetration, body horror, and abjection,
Speaker 3: which is the breakdown of conventual borders and rules. And
Speaker 3: writer Dan O'Bannon has argued that the oral invasion of
Speaker 3: Kine by the Face Hugger functions as payback for the
Speaker 3: many horror films in which sexually vulnerable women are attacked
Speaker 3: by male monsters.
Speaker 2: Oh, who's Dan O'Brien, Obannon, he's the writer. Oh, he's
Speaker 2: the writer. He's like, well, stick this in your type
Speaker 2: and smoke it.
Speaker 3: And finally, the success of the film launched a franchise
Speaker 3: with several sequels, prequels, novels, comics, games, and more.
Speaker 1: Deep Space Dove, let's break down some of our thoughts
Speaker 1: on the film. You can share your thoughts with us
Speaker 1: through email or social media. We may use your comments
Speaker 1: on an upcoming episode.
Speaker 2: Wow, I really, I think it's really interesting to think
Speaker 2: about how the male gaze was subverted in that in
Speaker 2: the way that Dan O'Bannon was talking about. That's really
Speaker 2: interesting perspective. I think if I would have had that
Speaker 2: quote and that information before I started watching it, or
Speaker 2: like initially, I think I would have been paying attention
Speaker 2: to it from a different like I would have definitely
Speaker 2: seen a lot that is very clear, and it does
Speaker 2: not I mean, there is not a lot of misogyny
Speaker 2: in this film. There's some like objective like that she
Speaker 2: really need to get almost naked, but I mean it's
Speaker 2: it's a film in the seventies. You got to you
Speaker 2: got a little you gotta have a little tits and.
Speaker 3: Ass did her underwear like not? Was it not able
Speaker 3: to come up all the way?
Speaker 2: Did they not have it in her size? It just
Speaker 2: didn't look like it fit her, but it fit her well,
Speaker 2: Like she looked good, and I think she was like
Speaker 2: probably considered a sex symbol of the time because of that,
Speaker 2: but not in a way like you would think of
Speaker 2: Leah in the slave outfit. You know, there's more autonomy
Speaker 2: and agency in this character. So interesting. I guess when
Speaker 2: I think of male fears, I think about like masculinity
Speaker 2: being challenged in some way, But damn they really went there, huh.
Speaker 3: Also like the fear of pregnancies in there as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well should we start from the beginning, like they
Speaker 2: come out of these pods in diapers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So there's not a lot of dialogue in the beginning.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of like scratching and showing around the
Speaker 3: ship and everything.
Speaker 2: I mean, the art you have to show like we
Speaker 2: spent We had two hundred artisans, artists working on this
Speaker 2: tirelessly for god knows how long, So we want to
Speaker 2: show that off.
Speaker 3: Well, the first thing that I noticed was that Sigourney
Speaker 3: Weaver was not the top builled cast member. Well, this
Speaker 3: is the second one that Dallas guy, Yeah I believe.
Speaker 3: So yeah, Tom Scaret as Dallas and honestly, through like
Speaker 3: at least like the first half the movie, like, it's
Speaker 3: not a parent that she's going to be the lead.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I like that though. I like that there's a she's
Speaker 2: the final girl, but not in the conventional way where
Speaker 2: you're kind of I'm thinking of Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis,
Speaker 2: where she's introduced and is obviously the main girl. So
Speaker 2: it's it's but she is the final girl.
Speaker 3: It's just interesting, like knowing the film and like the
Speaker 3: franchise in pop culture and like Sigourney Weaver.
Speaker 2: She's like it was established later on to be mother. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so but uh yeah, it's really interesting because she is
Speaker 2: the cornerstone eventually of this film franchise. Yeah, but initially Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, it could have very well been her or
Speaker 2: the other any other character in this film. But damn,
Speaker 2: there was so many twists and turns, like I didn't
Speaker 2: know what was going to happen. Like initially they were
Speaker 2: just going home. They got up for some because the
Speaker 2: ship is like we got a signal, we got to
Speaker 2: follow it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I guess they believe that they've been woken
Speaker 3: up because they're almost home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's the regular protocol.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So they don't even like check before they eat breakfast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they eat breakfast, they like take a long pee,
Speaker 2: you know, they get up.
Speaker 3: Is wild that no one went and checked. That's like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, waking up and getting ready you without
Speaker 3: like choking the weather.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. But yeah, so they're they're woken up like
Speaker 2: ten months early or some shit, or they're not even
Speaker 2: on the way home. They've been rerouted.
Speaker 3: And some of them care a lot about how big
Speaker 3: of a share they're getting out of the profits from
Speaker 3: their their refinery work that they're doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it sounds like they didn't get a
Speaker 2: very fair deal. Yeah, they're only getting half of a
Speaker 2: share instead of a whole share, and it seems like
Speaker 2: they're doing most of the grunt work. So there's like
Speaker 2: a hierarchy that's being established and within the crew, and
Speaker 2: we see that too with the captain. And then they
Speaker 2: go out and s Gourdiney Weaver is now the acting captain,
Speaker 2: and that guy Ash is a total dick. God, I
Speaker 2: hate that guy. He's the worst.
Speaker 3: Well he kind of turned out to be the villain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he really did. He's acting in the interests
Speaker 2: of the company, and we don't do we find out
Speaker 2: which company this is.
Speaker 3: I don't think they name it, it's.
Speaker 2: Just the company. It's very like big brother is watching us,
Speaker 2: kind of like they will withhold payment if we don't
Speaker 2: investigate this. They will punish us if we don't do
Speaker 2: the thing we're supposed to do, follow protocol. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: But so they go and they're like none of them
Speaker 2: except for Ash are scientists, right, and the fact that
Speaker 2: they land on a strange planet that's never been explored,
Speaker 2: and they're just like, oh, we'll just walk over, like
Speaker 2: let's just go check it out without and then like
Speaker 2: I don't remember if they took weapons or any sort
Speaker 2: of like translators or any sort of field equipment to
Speaker 2: take samples or pictures or anything that would say we
Speaker 2: are going to document this. The one camera shot that
Speaker 2: they had was from the ship, and I didn't I
Speaker 2: didn't really I didn't notice that he was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: stop right there, let's take a picture or anything like that.
Speaker 2: There was no indication that this was being documented for
Speaker 2: like future expeditions, because in my head, I would think,
Speaker 2: you have cargo on your ship that has a monetary value.
Speaker 2: Shouldn't your priority be to document the distress signal and
Speaker 2: take it to the appropriate authorities, like an actual science
Speaker 2: ship or a military ship or something that would be
Speaker 2: able to investigate this properly. And why wouldn't you send
Speaker 2: your science officer over to help and be like, oh,
Speaker 2: you guys, you know what this looks like this or
Speaker 2: that or you know. In my head that makes sense,
Speaker 2: like a science officer would definitely be boots on the ground,
Speaker 2: like maybe taking samples of the dirt and shit, yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe I've watched too much Star Trek.
Speaker 3: They don't know what they're walking into. I assume they're
Speaker 3: looking for like people as center the stress.
Speaker 2: Call, but they don't know if it's people. It's been
Speaker 2: established that they're not sure who or what they're looking
Speaker 2: for and they don't know if it's dangerous or not.
Speaker 2: The fact that they didn't analyze the message before going
Speaker 2: out and figuring and like poking around is unheard of.
Speaker 2: But that also shows maybe how they aren't trained for
Speaker 2: this type of like stop, they're not supposed like they
Speaker 2: should not have ever stopped. They should have taken the
Speaker 2: coordinates and sent them to their company and been like,
Speaker 2: we have to go. But then their company could have
Speaker 2: been like, well, you didn't follow protocol and we're going
Speaker 2: to fucking take all of your pay. Yeah, so the
Speaker 2: company knew somehow, and it makes me think that maybe
Speaker 2: this company has lost more than this is not their
Speaker 2: first time trying to exp tracked the alien out of
Speaker 2: this planet, mate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they know it's there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they set up they sent an alien or not
Speaker 2: an alien, a robot.
Speaker 3: Yeah. They swapped out the science officer so that they
Speaker 3: would have that guy there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm guessing no normal human would be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's go on a mission where the crew is expendable.
Speaker 2: But even the the robot was programmed to be kind
Speaker 2: of weird. They just programmed him to be the worst.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because if they would have listened to
Speaker 2: was it Ridley Ripley? Ripley Ripley, Ridley's the director? Okay Ripley.
Speaker 2: If they would have listened to Ripley and done the quarantine,
Speaker 2: then Homeboy would have had that little alien thing explode
Speaker 2: out of his spacesuit. Yep, and there wouldn't there would
Speaker 2: be a movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they followed the protocol, then they would have
Speaker 3: been safe except for that one guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well and those two others that were with him potentially,
Speaker 2: but who knows where that little thing would have scurried
Speaker 2: off to right to grow into this big alien thing.
Speaker 2: The gestation process was so fast. Yeah, holy shit. But
Speaker 2: it was creepy how he was like down there. He's like, oh, look,
Speaker 2: I found this hole. Why don't you fucking put me
Speaker 2: down there? Let me just go in there. They didn't
Speaker 2: even have flashlights. They the only source of light they
Speaker 2: had was the little light on the top of their spacesuit.
Speaker 2: They didn't even have fucking flashlights. Bro, I would go
Speaker 2: nowhere and it wasn't even daylight. They were like, oh,
Speaker 2: let's wait till dawn. Let's wait till the light comes in.
Speaker 2: They're like, let's go, don's in twenty minutes, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: what is going on? But they find this like skeleton thing.
Speaker 2: It doesn't look like the alien that we see later
Speaker 2: in the film. It looks like it's a different type
Speaker 2: of skeleton.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they comment that it's like it's been burst,
Speaker 3: like the chest burst thing has happened to it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so some other creature was just stated.
Speaker 2: In right, they were hosts to the alien, and the
Speaker 2: alien then laid all of those eggs waiting to be
Speaker 2: activated by some dumb ass.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So they just they explore way too much.
Speaker 2: They're doing too much.
Speaker 3: Well, they just got time to kill or something because
Speaker 3: they got to wait for the ship that you're repaired.
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, as soon as I saw a skeleton,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, you, guys, I think we're good. I
Speaker 2: think we're good. It looks bad, bad, bad things have
Speaker 2: happened here. I think we should just, you know, take
Speaker 2: our pictures, say we didn't find anything, and let's go
Speaker 2: let's go home. But Homeboy is like, nah, how do
Speaker 2: you say it? You know, when you when you when
Speaker 2: you use a rope and you and you take somebody
Speaker 2: down the hole, you know you strap them in. What
Speaker 2: do you call it. How do you say that? Send
Speaker 2: me down? Like, I don't know. How do you throw
Speaker 2: me in that hole with a rope? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a technical term for that.
Speaker 2: He went plunking basically, I don't know. Yeah, maybe repel
Speaker 2: down this rope into this giant void. And then he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: walking on this platform and he notices there's like this
Speaker 2: mist and a bunch of egg like things, and he's like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: let me look down there, and then he fucking falls
Speaker 2: like a dumbass. And then he's like, oh, what is that?
Speaker 2: And then he's like, it's moving and then it opens up.
Speaker 2: And as soon as I saw a movement, I'd be like,
Speaker 2: let's go. Honestly, as soon as I'd fall, I would
Speaker 2: be freaking. Ou'd be like, oh my god, I'm in
Speaker 2: the mist. Give me out of here. But this weird
Speaker 2: like the egg opens and it looks like a fucking
Speaker 2: chicken cutlet. It looks so nasty, it's got veins and shit,
Speaker 2: and it's like it was so disgusting. It was so disgusting.
Speaker 2: And then it fucking gets out and like attaches itself
Speaker 2: to his face and it's like it's just it's really
Speaker 2: like body horror for real body horror. I didn't know
Speaker 2: it was had like a techno. I didn't know that
Speaker 2: that's what it was called. But damn, it's like there's
Speaker 2: like something like I want to say, like primordial about
Speaker 2: wanting to breathe, right, Like we want to breathe and
Speaker 2: we want our fucking face to be clear of things.
Speaker 2: So to imagine a physical like obstruction on your fucking
Speaker 2: face where you can't see, you can't smell, you can't speak.
Speaker 2: You might be able to hear people around you, but
Speaker 2: you cannot react. It's like being paralyzed or something like
Speaker 2: you cannot like, oh my god, I don't know. It's
Speaker 2: like freaky. It's really freaky. And to be a mobile
Speaker 2: I can understand a little bit about why they would
Speaker 2: want him to get in the ship so they can
Speaker 2: get this thing off of him. They want to save
Speaker 2: their comrade, right, their coworker. Yeah, but as soon as
Speaker 2: I saw him like that, I'd be like, bye, bro.
Speaker 2: As soon as I heard him screaming, I'd leave. I'd
Speaker 2: be like, we gotta go. We'll come back and get
Speaker 2: a rescue mission. But I'm also a scaredy cat and
Speaker 2: then who knows, there's like hundreds, if not thousands of
Speaker 2: those eggs on that planet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, eggs.
Speaker 2: That was crazy, and there's only like, oh, I don't
Speaker 2: know if it was more than him going down there.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if more than one of those things
Speaker 2: was like attached to their faces.
Speaker 3: I mean they couldn't handle one of them.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was oh my god. But it looks
Speaker 2: like that's its like initial phase. Like there's multiple like
Speaker 2: stages of like life process that it goes through, and
Speaker 2: the initial stage is like this face sucker. I don't
Speaker 2: know what the official term is.
Speaker 3: Uh, face sucker is what I was seeing. So it
Speaker 3: goes from the egg to the face sucker, which I
Speaker 3: then puts like more like egg stuff down in their
Speaker 3: throat that then just states and hatches.
Speaker 2: Out Yeah, through the chest cavity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need a host in the middle of this process.
Speaker 2: Right, and unwilling, like a non consensual host. That's horrifying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And like the I think one of the most horrifying
Speaker 2: parts about it is that once it's deposited its like
Speaker 2: chest cavity friend, it like dies and you're able to
Speaker 2: wake up and kind of feel normal again. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: that's fucking horrifying. It's like what was his name, Gary
Speaker 2: or what was that was?
Speaker 3: Cain?
Speaker 2: Cain? Oh fucking Cain.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: He goes through it and he had he hardly has
Speaker 2: any lines. Yeah, and then that like so they try
Speaker 2: to cut one of the little fingers off the knuckles
Speaker 2: and they find out that this thing's blood is made
Speaker 2: out of acid yep, And I'm like, it bleeds acid?
Speaker 2: What the fuck? Who came up with this? This is scary,
Speaker 2: Like if you shoot it, it's just gonna fucking you're
Speaker 2: on a spaceship. If you get a hole in a spaceship,
Speaker 2: you fucking die. Yeah, that is fucked Thankfully, it stopped
Speaker 2: dripping after a while, like it lost its like potency
Speaker 2: and it wasn't going through like the whole of the ship.
Speaker 2: But holy shit, that's that makes it like another level
Speaker 2: of like predator, like like vicious and like unkillable almost
Speaker 2: ye Lee Right, if they would have been outside then
Speaker 2: they could have tried, but they couldn't obviously do it
Speaker 2: because they didn't have the equipment with them. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: if you're in quarantine, maybe there's like a little drawer,
Speaker 2: you know where we can put like these supplies and
Speaker 2: push them out there and you pick them up and
Speaker 2: and try to cut it off of him. But yeah,
Speaker 2: what a self like self defense mechanism. Imagine if you
Speaker 2: cut me and I bleed acid, that'd be fucking You
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to cut me because I could spit acid
Speaker 2: at you. Oh I want that? So yeah, he then
Speaker 2: it like it's like this gray dead thing after it's deposited,
Speaker 2: it's warm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they don't seem to be monitoring monitoring him, right,
Speaker 3: like where's.
Speaker 2: The camera, where's the I think Kin is watching, but
Speaker 2: he's not saying anything or not Kane Ash. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think Ash is watching, but he's not saying anything
Speaker 2: because he's like obviously got ulterior motives. But it's weird
Speaker 2: that he's like, hey, Dallas, come look at this thing.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say just come over.
Speaker 3: Then they go in there because the face sucker has
Speaker 3: left the face and they go in there to like
Speaker 3: look for it, and they're not wearing any sort of
Speaker 3: suits or anything.
Speaker 2: Right, they're not wearing any sort of protection against it either.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I.
Speaker 2: Mean homeboy was wearing a full suit and it didn't
Speaker 2: help him at all. So I guess they figured it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: At this point, I would still feel better.
Speaker 2: But they find it and it's clearly dead or it's
Speaker 2: done its duty, right yep. And at this point they're like,
Speaker 2: get it out of here and they're done. They're calm.
Speaker 2: Now it's dead. There's nothing else to question here. We
Speaker 2: should run any tests on good old Gary or whatever
Speaker 2: his name is. Yeah, and then like no tests, no cognitive, no,
Speaker 2: no physical, no X rays, no MRIs, nothing, not even
Speaker 2: like check your heart, blood pressure, temperature, nothing. They're like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's good, let's go eat.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Because as they leave him alone again and the
Speaker 3: next time Ash calls him back down there, he's up
Speaker 3: and moving around.
Speaker 2: It's hungry, yeah, and he barely has a scratch on him.
Speaker 2: And as they're eating, uh, what's his name is it? Gary? No,
Speaker 2: the guy with the worm, Cain Cain Caine starts freaking
Speaker 2: out and they're like, the food's not that bad, Caine,
Speaker 2: because they were all joking about the food being bad,
Speaker 2: but he's having like literal problems. And that scene is
Speaker 2: so chaotic and distrustful and freaky. Yes, like the mood
Speaker 2: changes in a snap. They're all like jovial and calm
Speaker 2: and relaxed and ready to go back to bed so
Speaker 2: they could go home. And Cane starts having convulsions basically,
Speaker 2: and they can't hold them still. They do this thing
Speaker 2: that they used to do when somebody was having an
Speaker 2: epilectic seizure, where they put a spoon in your mouth
Speaker 2: so you don't swallow your tongue, as what they the
Speaker 2: thought process was. And it was really freaking funny to
Speaker 2: see a little bit that they were trying so hard
Speaker 2: to put that spoon in that guy's mouth. Now, I
Speaker 2: think the common practice is to leave the person alone,
Speaker 2: just let them have their seizure, try to make sure
Speaker 2: that they're as comfortable as possible without having been like
Speaker 2: injuring their head and neck. But yeah, it's like very
Speaker 2: interesting to see that old trick of putting a spoon
Speaker 2: in the mouth. It's kind of a sign of the times.
Speaker 2: That's the one thing that ages in my book.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the computers that are just like green text.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah no. And then when they were approaching the planet,
Speaker 2: those squares that kept like rotating, Yeah, that too. But honestly,
Speaker 2: it kind of reminded me a little bit of Battlestar Galactica.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like that retro future, because I mean space
Speaker 3: travel and landlines.
Speaker 2: I've had jobs doing data entry where like in the
Speaker 2: two thousands and even currently where we are still using
Speaker 2: those operating systems. So even in twenty twenty four, those
Speaker 2: black and white screens are still utilized in a lot
Speaker 2: of like fields, so I still kind of buy it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then all the little like those yellow like
Speaker 3: led lights that are like that room where they go
Speaker 3: to talk to the ship.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love that. That room was magical. I
Speaker 2: think it was really well executed with all the little
Speaker 2: twinkling lights. I thought that was like so gorgeous. It
Speaker 2: had an aura to it that felt like a shrine,
Speaker 2: like an altar, and that you know what else, I
Speaker 2: noticed they really liked their swivel chairs. Almost all the
Speaker 2: chairs that they sat at were swivel chairs.
Speaker 3: Well you got a swivel.
Speaker 2: In the future, we all swivel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like talking to the ship the mother they
Speaker 3: call that.
Speaker 2: That text was funny too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was like something that was exclusively reserved
Speaker 3: for the captain, and like Ripley was only allowed to
Speaker 3: go in there once. The two people above her had died.
Speaker 2: Right, I can't believe the other captain knew what the
Speaker 2: mission was and he was like, I don't know. He's
Speaker 2: the science officer, he's in charge, sketchy.
Speaker 3: So did he know the mission?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he did. He just didn't want to
Speaker 2: take responsibility for it, so he passed the buck to
Speaker 2: the science officer because he had full like he he
Speaker 2: was in charge, he had full rights to say no,
Speaker 2: you know, don't do this. So I think he did,
Speaker 2: but it's hard to say, right, I'm not.
Speaker 3: Clear on how much he.
Speaker 2: Knew the mission wasn't clear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Ripley did some sort of override, which I
Speaker 3: assume the other captain could have done as well. Yeah,
Speaker 3: just to see what the mission was crew expendable. So
Speaker 3: after the chest bursting, we started seeing some more like
Speaker 3: I think it's a lot of puppetry and maybe some
Speaker 3: stop motion of the like the alien creature, like when
Speaker 3: it scampers off.
Speaker 2: Oh, when uh Ash was like don't touch it, I'm like, bitch,
Speaker 2: Like hell, I will touch it. But honestly, somebody should
Speaker 2: have shot that thing. I guess they were at lunch
Speaker 2: so nobody had anything, but they had like a box
Speaker 2: of cereal. They could have trapped it. Somebody could have
Speaker 2: trapped it or knocked it out or something. Put in
Speaker 2: a shoe box. That little cat carrying case something.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there's a cat on board too.
Speaker 2: For those pesky space rats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like is the cat there for like rodent control?
Speaker 3: I think it's just for like friendship.
Speaker 2: Maybe, I don't know, it's hard to say. I feel
Speaker 2: like there could be rats on this ship. It definitely
Speaker 2: gives rat vibes.
Speaker 3: So they wrapped Cane up like a burrito and launch
Speaker 3: him in.
Speaker 2: The space looks like a joint and nobody says anything.
Speaker 2: It's so sad. He's just a coworker to them. You know,
Speaker 2: what do you got to say about their coworker. He
Speaker 2: showed up to work on time, and he he always
Speaker 2: shared his lunch. What do you say? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I would be so sad if I died at work.
Speaker 2: But honestly, also so metal. That is so metal.
Speaker 3: And then when we learned that Ash is a robot,
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: He was like sweating milk. Yeah, that is so nasty.
Speaker 2: I didn't know robots were bled white.
Speaker 3: Well he was drinking it in earlier scenes.
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought it was milk, but it was his fluids.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, maybe everyone would have thought
Speaker 3: it was milk.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, in the future, there's still cows like.
Speaker 3: He ate with everyone, right, so his body can handle that,
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: Not a lot to explain that robot science. They put
Speaker 2: him back online though. It was crazy how they killed him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when.
Speaker 2: His head came off, I was like dead. I was like,
Speaker 2: I can't believe they just did that. What the fuck?
Speaker 2: His head just came off and that, uh, what was
Speaker 2: that black guy's name, Parker? That sounds like a white
Speaker 2: kid's name. Maybe that's a last name, but anyway, Parker
Speaker 2: just gets covered in that white shit, just covered in it.
Speaker 2: It's horrible, horrible, and I'm like, I bet it stinks,
Speaker 2: but it smells nasty in there. And I think Parker's
Speaker 2: role gets elevated too after a while. At first, he's
Speaker 2: just like this employee that's complaining about their pay, and
Speaker 2: then he's like fixing critical like systems in the s
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, he's like rescuing Ripley
Speaker 2: from this robot guy who was putting a newspaper in
Speaker 2: her mouth. What was that about?
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. What objective was there?
Speaker 2: Was he gonna put milk in her mouth? I didn't
Speaker 2: know what was happening. Was he gonna turn her into
Speaker 2: a robot? I don't know. That was weird. It was
Speaker 2: like he was making a funnel to do something to her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Then they knock his head off.
Speaker 3: They knock his block off, so then there's like a
Speaker 3: prosthetic head obviously, and then there's there's one shot where
Speaker 3: they like they clearly cut from the prosthetic head to
Speaker 3: his actual head.
Speaker 2: Right. I wish they would have cut to them looking
Speaker 2: at him, like all around him, and then cut to
Speaker 2: his head so that the cut wasn't so obvious. It
Speaker 2: was just like a black screen, and then it was
Speaker 2: his head again. Yeah, and it was so shitty, but
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, for the time, it was good.
Speaker 2: It was like the one thing that was like it
Speaker 2: took me out of the fantasy a little bit. And
Speaker 2: and his voice was very robotic and he was like
Speaker 2: gushing over the perfection of this alien.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: So he knows how like a lot more than he
Speaker 2: leads on about this creature. And it's fucking frustrating that
Speaker 2: he's not telling them anything about it.
Speaker 3: He's collating information or whatever.
Speaker 2: He said, Yeah, I'm colating talk like a robot. I
Speaker 2: can't believe I didn't realize he was a robot.
Speaker 3: Well at first he's just kind of an asshole.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's a dick, but damn.
Speaker 3: I was noticing. Like a lot of really long shots,
Speaker 3: I really like build the tension and even someone like
Speaker 3: conversations when Ripley goes to talk to Ash to be like, hey,
Speaker 3: what the fuck why did you open the door and
Speaker 3: break protocol? Like it's just one camera shot on Ash,
Speaker 3: like the whole time with Ripley in the foreground, and
Speaker 3: then all the times when they're out there searching for
Speaker 3: the creature, Like a lot of long shots really makes
Speaker 3: you uneasy. And then a while it jumps a lot
Speaker 3: of jump scares. Sometimes aliens just like surprise.
Speaker 2: Literally with its hands out like boo. I think the
Speaker 2: reveal to the alien was really good because you know,
Speaker 2: it was like this little worm thing that was like
Speaker 2: any like it's toddler phase maybe, but then it like.
Speaker 3: Sure grows up fast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dallas or who finds that skin? It was that
Speaker 2: white guy, that other worker he was looking for the cat,
Speaker 2: right that would have been red. Yeah, he's like right,
Speaker 2: he likes to say, right, yeah, yeah. So he's looking
Speaker 2: for the cat and he finds the alien and he
Speaker 2: finds its skin and it looks like a fucking condom. Disgusting,
Speaker 2: don't touch that. But these people are not trained, they're
Speaker 2: not fucking scientists.
Speaker 3: The thing has acid for blood. Let me pick this up, right,
Speaker 3: like girl.
Speaker 2: But then it comes out and it's got this like
Speaker 2: black exoskeleton, like shiny helmet of a head with its
Speaker 2: crazy teeth, and then it opens its mouth and there's
Speaker 2: another fucking alien in its mouth with an extra set
Speaker 2: of teeth, and it's just like like just like I
Speaker 2: don't even know how to say it. It's like salivating
Speaker 2: all this acid. Probably I don't know, that's not established.
Speaker 2: We don't know if it's aliva is acid or if
Speaker 2: just it's blood.
Speaker 3: Still like a lot of liquid, Like really, where did
Speaker 3: this come from?
Speaker 2: Like really gooey, and it it kind of you know,
Speaker 2: it reminds me a little bit of like a scorpion
Speaker 2: and it's like with a black, sleek kind of like
Speaker 2: like shell, and it's like like at one point when
Speaker 2: it was attacking that woman, uh, it had like a
Speaker 2: tail that scooped underneath her, so and it's just it's
Speaker 2: so otherworldly. You can tell it's a guy in a
Speaker 2: suit in some shots, but in others you're like, what
Speaker 2: is this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think they stay away from like really
Speaker 3: just showing it head to toe and like you really
Speaker 3: kind of see close ups and angles of it, right.
Speaker 2: I think the most effective shot was that close up
Speaker 2: of the teeth and this like this like oozing like
Speaker 2: kind of salivating, like gooey wet face and I don't
Speaker 2: know if it has eyes, Like I don't know how
Speaker 2: it like, we don't know anything about it, and I
Speaker 2: think that's what makes it so scary. We know as
Speaker 2: much as the characters know, and it's like, what why
Speaker 2: is it here? Obviously we brought it in, but like
Speaker 2: what is its end goal? What is it doing to
Speaker 2: these people? We at first we don't even know what
Speaker 2: it's doing exactly. But then like he finds a homegirl
Speaker 2: and Parker like dead, so it's not like eating them.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't know why it's killing, Like
Speaker 2: why is it killing? I don't know, it's crazy, I
Speaker 2: don't know. This shit is wild, like I would want
Speaker 2: to leave too. But the fact that she ran away
Speaker 2: and went on the ship and didn't check, she didn't
Speaker 2: close the door, or if she did close the door,
Speaker 2: that thing knows how to open doors.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, she was trying to get to the shuttle
Speaker 3: and it's like cut off by the alien. She drops
Speaker 3: the cat there and runs and tries to like undo
Speaker 3: the self destruct. I can't do that. But then she
Speaker 3: goes to the shuttle again and she's able to get there.
Speaker 2: Right, and she doesn't think where did it go? Yeah,
Speaker 2: the door was open, maybe it went in there. The
Speaker 2: fact that there's only one shuttle and that it only
Speaker 2: holds it holds less than what the crew is. It's
Speaker 2: giving Titanic where there's not enough lifeboard boats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like why does it hold less, like physically
Speaker 3: there's space in there? Is it an oxygen things?
Speaker 2: It's probably the pod thing, right, pods, it's got to
Speaker 2: be a pod thing alternate, Yeah, I mean, but there's
Speaker 2: not enough food for them to alternate. They have to sleep.
Speaker 2: But they could, you know, if they really wanted to,
Speaker 2: they could fit two people in one pod if it
Speaker 2: came down to it. I'm sure they could. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's what it was. There's not enough pods?
Speaker 2: But why why is there not enough like escape pods
Speaker 2: or whatever for them all to be able to leave?
Speaker 2: They better get Osha on that. I would sue my
Speaker 2: I would sue the company so hard. I feel like
Speaker 2: she's got a workman's comp case against them, for sure.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about it? Like as a horror film?
Speaker 2: Is it it's it's not that. I mean, it's definitely
Speaker 2: like a horror film, but I don't think it's like
Speaker 2: a traditional horror film. I see it more as a
Speaker 2: thriller because like there is a little bit of that
Speaker 2: body horror here, but it's not like excessive or or
Speaker 2: over the top like you get to in the eighties.
Speaker 2: I think this is like a taste of what's to
Speaker 2: come in this genre. But I think it's it's it's
Speaker 2: definitely because I mean, what we see and the horror
Speaker 2: category mostly is a contemporary setting, right. We were not
Speaker 2: used to seeing horror in outer space in this time.
Speaker 2: What we see in outer space is like epic sagas
Speaker 2: of like war and and space and you know, Empire
Speaker 2: and shit like that with Star Wars. So it's very
Speaker 2: interesting to create because I think historically horror has been
Speaker 2: one of the lowest genres in film, like in terms
Speaker 2: of like how people take it seriously. People don't take
Speaker 2: horror seriously, and I mean you can kind to see
Speaker 2: why in some of this shit, like think about Leprechaun.
Speaker 2: But I think this is a very elevated horror film,
Speaker 2: especially because you look at the art direction of it
Speaker 2: and the story, and that's why to me, it's hard
Speaker 2: to see it as a horror in a lot of
Speaker 2: ways because in a lot of ways, to me, horror
Speaker 2: can be very campy, and there's not a lot of
Speaker 2: camp in this. It's very It's it's like the fanciest
Speaker 2: horror I've seen in a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've always, like first and foremost, thought of it
Speaker 3: as a science fiction movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I call I would call it.
Speaker 3: When I'm always kind of reminding like, oh, yeah, the
Speaker 3: First Alien is like it's scary, really more of a
Speaker 3: horror movie.
Speaker 2: It's kind of scary. It is scary, but it's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's hard to say because I think
Speaker 2: horror has evolved so much since then. But again, I
Speaker 2: think horror has this element of camp to it that
Speaker 2: this is really missing, but we later come down like
Speaker 2: we make a campy I'm sure in the later seasons
Speaker 2: or it's later reiterations, it'll get more campy because I've
Speaker 2: seen like Family Guy does a bit where the alien
Speaker 2: is like a teenage girl with lipstick and nails. So
Speaker 2: it's I don't like, like, I'm sure there's a there's
Speaker 2: an element of camp that's coming maybe, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just I think there's definitely horror elements, but I
Speaker 2: would I would classify it more under thriller. I would
Speaker 2: say this is more of a thriller than a horror
Speaker 2: movie because in horror, I don't know, it just doesn't
Speaker 2: feel horror to me like that, Like there are so
Speaker 2: many other films that I would classify as horror before this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it keeps me interested more than it
Speaker 3: keeps me like scared. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, any other
Speaker 3: points you when I bring up about the movie.
Speaker 2: I really liked it. I think I'm really interested to
Speaker 2: see how they're going to do a sequel with this
Speaker 2: because it's to me, it's very clear that the alien
Speaker 2: is dead, but there's so many eggs, right, yeah, so
Speaker 2: and hopefully so. Gordoney Weaver comes back, but I wouldn't
Speaker 2: blame her if she didn't come back right away. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm very I'm very pleased that we started with this franchise.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's it's diverse, it's unique, and it's interesting,
Speaker 2: and we'll see if they can keep the momentum going
Speaker 2: with the good writing and the beautiful art direction.
Speaker 3: Well, you seem to know a lot less than I
Speaker 3: do about what's to come, so I don't want to
Speaker 3: spoil anything for you.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, I love spoilers. Tell me, let's going
Speaker 2: to the spoiler section. Or you want to do an
Speaker 2: astrol queen.
Speaker 3: We should do the Astral queen.
Speaker 1: Astral queen? Who was the standout character in the movie.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's obvious that it is Sigourney.
Speaker 3: We Journey.
Speaker 2: Who the cat? You were saying the cat did it?
Speaker 3: Just kidding? Of course, it's Ellen Ripley. Yes, you're going
Speaker 3: to pick this.
Speaker 2: I mean, she does it. She she looks so good
Speaker 2: in it, but she's also very strong and very sure
Speaker 2: of herself, and she's like somebody you look up to
Speaker 2: in this film, and you're rooting for her, You're like,
Speaker 2: holy shit, nobody's listening to her. What the fuck? It's
Speaker 2: like an everyday occurrence in a woman's world.
Speaker 3: You just listened to her, she wouldn't be the last one.
Speaker 2: Alive, right, Even the robot got it all right?
Speaker 3: So Alien Romulus is releasing on August sixteenth. Whoa, So
Speaker 3: that's gonna be I think the next movie in our
Speaker 3: podcast feed now, because we're recording a few weeks before that.
Speaker 3: I think BB and I are going to watch Aliens
Speaker 3: and Alien three prior to that. But in terms of releasing,
Speaker 3: next up is Alien Romulus.
Speaker 2: Oh okay?
Speaker 3: Is that confusing enough?
Speaker 2: That was really confusing, So we're actually gonna do it
Speaker 2: in order in real.
Speaker 3: Life somewhat there's more movies than that, but oh okay,
Speaker 3: I would say, like the first three movies are more
Speaker 3: of a trilogy.
Speaker 2: How many of them are there?
Speaker 3: There's like four of the main series, and then there's
Speaker 3: these two pre coel movies And what's this Romulus Romulus is?
Speaker 3: I know very little about it, but I know it's
Speaker 3: like a standalone story and it comes in between Alien
Speaker 3: and Aliens.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so we if we watch Alien and Aliens,
Speaker 2: we can kind of get a hold of what's going
Speaker 2: on in Romulus hopefully.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, but yeah, so next up should be Alien Romulus.
Speaker 3: We're gonna watch that and record and released right away. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's a plan. Hopefully that works out, and then we'll
Speaker 3: be moving into the rest of the movies. All right,
Speaker 3: do you want to do a spoiler section?
Speaker 2: Tell me, tell me, tell me, I want to know.
Speaker 3: All right, I guess we are living stereo stylist in
Speaker 3: this group.
Speaker 1: Brace for impact spoilers ahead. If you haven't seen the
Speaker 1: whole film series, now is the time to say goodbye.
Speaker 1: Remember you can contact us at Spacingoutpod at gmail dot com,
Speaker 1: find us on social media, share your thoughts and be
Speaker 1: a part of the discussion. Spoilers in five, four, three,
Speaker 1: two one.
Speaker 2: So does she come back?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So Sigourney Weaver is in four movies?
Speaker 2: Oh, come on money.
Speaker 3: And so Aliens. So James Cameron movie, and it's much
Speaker 3: more like an action movie than.
Speaker 2: It is maybe movie.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh eighties is James Cameron after he's done Terminator
Speaker 3: before Terminator two, so he hasn't done like the super
Speaker 3: high budget stuff. But yeah, then there's Alien three, and
Speaker 3: then Alien Resurrection is when it starts to get weird,
Speaker 3: and those are all different directors, and then Ridley Scott
Speaker 3: comes back and makes a couple of prequel movies. Okay,
Speaker 3: and that's about it. Yeah. So, and there's also the
Speaker 3: spin off crossover Alien Versus Predator. I don't know that
Speaker 3: we're going to go there or not. We'll see.
Speaker 2: I think we should because I like that Prey movie
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like that movie is so far from like
Speaker 3: Alien Versus Predator. Oh really, I mean that movie is
Speaker 3: so different than like any of the other Predator movies. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Oh so it's like catfishing me into thinking.
Speaker 2: But I could like this Predator thing. We'll think about it.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll keep that open. We've got quite a few
Speaker 3: Alien movies to hit, and then sometime next year there
Speaker 3: should be a TV series. All right, all right, I
Speaker 3: think that's everything. Then, So thank you for spacing out
Speaker 3: with us. And remember that in space, no one can
Speaker 3: hear you scream.
Speaker 2: Is that a tagline from this movie?
Speaker 3: Yes, it is, which is interesting seeing that they showed
Speaker 3: a lot of sound in space.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did.
Speaker 1: Thank you for spacing out with Bob and Jason. You
Speaker 1: can help us out by subscribing and leading a positive
Speaker 1: rating or review. Next time we will cover the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four film Alien Romulus. We hope you will join
Speaker 1: us
