Nerds Welcome!

We're back! Hosts Luke and Joely return after a 2 year hiatus to continue talking about the most iconic films, old and new. This episode is a discussion of the musical film phenomenon, WICKED!

'Aliens' (1986) is a heart-pounding action thriller of a film written and directed by the iconic James Cameron. Starring Sigourney Weaver and following her powerful character Ellen Ripley, we cover her journey with a rag-tag group of soldiers as they save little Newt and battle endless xenomorphs!
