Episode 299: Alright Scary Aliens

Published: Oct. 11, 2021, 12:06 a.m.

James Cameron\u2019s bombastic follow up to \u201cAlien,\u201d equal parts action and horror movie, may make us yearn for the Nostromo a bit, but more importantly it features our favorite cat owning, flamethrower wielding space mom, Ellen Ripley. The Extended Special Edition of \u201cAliens\u201d gives us even more time in Act One with Ripley and Jones before pairing her up with eye candy like Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn and Jeannette Goldstein, to say nothing of one particularly beguiling robot. We\u2019ve got mixed feelings on Newt, lots of questions about aliens taking elevators, thoughts on the subsequent sequels and prequels in the series, and unending praise for Sigourney \u201cSusie\u201d Weaver in an Oscar nominated performance.\nPatreon:\xa0www.patreon.com/alrightmary\nEmail:\xa0alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com\nTwitter: @alrightmary\nJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter)\nColin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker\xa0(Twitter)\nWeb:\nwww.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/\nwww.alrightmary.com
