SR Ep. 10: Creature Season 2 comes to a close with ‘Creature' from 1985. Not an ‘Alien' film for sure, but it certainly borrows a bit from the original classic.

Then your erstwhile hosts, The Lady Wan and Chris Scalzo wrap things up by revisiting their rankings, choosing a final best film of the franchise, and deciding who gave the best overall performance.

SR Ep. 2: Mallrats This week on ScreenRun, The Lady Wan and Chris decide to check out THE place to hang in the 90's, the mall.  That's right!
