For our 50th episode we have two of the all time greats….talking about two of the all time greats. 

Life begins at 50 baby, or does it begin when the facehugger lays the chestburster inside your body? We talk about friend of the show, Ridley Scott’s masterpiece Alien and James Cameron’s masterpiece Aliens. That’s a lot of masterpieces.

In this episode:

-A tribute to HR Giger

-How Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is bit more switched on than her schlubby workmates

-Android programming

-The blasé way Aliens came to be

-Those lovable Colonial Marines (Game Over man!)

-Smart Aliens

-The problem (with the otherwise awesome) Vasquez

-A lot of Apone quotes

-A lot of Hudson love

-And Allen talks about Rambo 2

Remind yourself of the films here (do you really need to though? They are pretty damn memorable):

Allen and Chris count their cash and talk trailers.

  • Back to the Backdraft
  • Barry Sonnenfeld
  • Football knowledge for dummies
  • Sexy Dumbledore and his sexuality
  • Stripper superheroes
