CTS_ep 70 Alien

Women in Horror Month continues with Alien (1979). This is an unprecedented feat in horror genre filmmaking. This film takes the haunted house story and sets it in a spaceship. It takes everything you’d previously known about a horror movie story and turns it inside out. Jolyon even did a deep dive into earlier sci-fi, inspired by his re-watch of "Alien". Is the “chestburster scene” a good starting point for a father to bond with his 3rd Grade son over a movie? Just ask Will’s dad! Is the Alien hiding in the cat? Again, just ask Will’s dad! Back when Will was a young lad, he had teachers concerned about his reading list, which included the novelization of Alien. But not Bladerunner, that thing made him feel like he was staring at a painting! Remember when you watch any horror movie- if you listen to the reasonable characters, they’ll end your movie in 15 minutes! Also remember- there’s always room for Jello!
