Send us a textStart with a confession: we didn't tell you to sprint toward Alien Resurrection, and after revisiting it, you'll hear exactly why. We break down the wild swings—Ripley's controversial cloning, a xenomorph queen that “evolves” into something eerily mammalian, and a human‑xeno hybrid that's equal parts tragic and nightmare fuel—then tease out the few moments where the film genuinely stuns. Think the lab escape where the xenos outthink their cage, the submerged chase that weaponizes open water, and a practical creature that feels horrifyingly real on screen.We also track the series' artificial‑person lineage from Ash to Bishop to Winona Ryder's Auton, and what shifting the ship's AI from “Mother” to “Father” hints at about the saga's recurring themes of parenthood, control, and faith. There's Firefly energy in the crew dynamics, flashes of Matrix‑style cool in the interfaces and camera moves, and… big question marks in the science that asks you to accept genetic memory on vibes alone. And that ending over Earth? We talk about its jarring tone, why earlier films counted human costs with more care, and how this entry drifts from the grounded corporate menace of Weyland‑Yutani that made Alien feel so brutally plausible.Detours, of course: Demon Slayer's packed screenings, cosplay plans, and a spirited AVP sidebar on asymmetric combat done right. If you're charting the Alien franchise, this conversation gives you a map—what to salvage, what to skip, and why Prometheus was a necessary reset. Hit play, then tell us: defend Resurrection or bury it?

Alien & Aliens Review:Welcome to Out from the Horrorbox! With your spaced host Dom Higuera!In this episode, we take a look at the first two films in the Alien Franchise. First, the 1979 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott, Alien! In the distant future, the commercial spaceship "Nostromo" crew is on its way home when they pick up a distress call. The crew investigate, and the spaceship descends on the small planetoid afterwards. They explore the area on the planetoid, while at the same time, the ship's computer deciphers the call. When the crew realizes they are not alone on the spaceship, they must deal with the consequences.Then, we check out the 1986 science fiction action film directed by James Cameron, Aliens!57 years after Ellen Ripley had a close encounter with an alien creature, she is called back, this time to help a group of highly trained colonial marines fight off against the sinister extraterrestrials. The aliens have taken over a space colony on the moon LV-426. When the colonial marines are called upon to search the deserted space colony, they later find out that they are up against more than what they bargained for. Using specially modified machine guns and enough firepower, it's either fight or die as the space marines battle against the aliens.Let's open up the Horrorbox and find out what's inside!

Send us a textGrab your pulse rifles and motion trackers – we're dropping into LV-426! In this adrenaline-fueled episode, we dissect James Cameron's action-packed sequel "Aliens" (1986) and discover why it stands as one of the most successful genre shifts in cinema history.The conversation explores how Cameron transformed Ridley Scott's slow-burning horror masterpiece into an explosive action thriller without sacrificing the dread and tension that made the original so effective. We dive deep into Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley – her 57-year cryosleep, the trauma she carries, and her evolution from reluctant survivor to determined warrior. That power loader showdown with the Queen? Pure cinematic gold that perfectly culminates Ripley's character arc.We couldn't stop gushing about the practical effects that still hold up brilliantly today – from the hive's unsettling biomechanical design to the imposing Alien Queen puppet operated by multiple performers. The Colonial Marines receive special attention, particularly Bill Paxton's panic-stricken Hudson ("Game over, man!") and Jenette Goldstein's tough-as-nails Vasquez. Paul Reiser's duplicitous Burke also gets his due as the human villain whose corporate greed rivals the xenomorphs in monstrosity.Our hosts debate which film reigns supreme – the atmospheric horror of "Alien" or the action-packed thrills of "Aliens" – and examine how the sequel expands the xenomorph mythology with the Queen and hive structure. From face-huggers to chest-bursters to acid blood, we analyze why these creatures remain among cinema's most terrifying creations decades later.Ready to face your fears and join the conversation? Subscribe now, leave a review, and prepare for our next episode when we tackle the divisive third installment in the franchise.

Außerdem analysieren wir die Serien „Landman“ von Taylor Sheridan und „Alien: Earth“, das neue Sci-Fi-Horror-Highlight von Noah Hawley. Ein weiteres großes Thema ist die bevorstehende Gamescom 2025. Eric fährt am Mittwoch mit bekannten Streamern und YouTubern nach Köln – wir geben euch einen exklusiven Ausblick auf die Highlights der Messe. Jetzt reinhören und informiert bleiben! Sketch (Kinostart: 21. August 2025) ist das fantasievolle Spielfilmdebüt von Regisseur Seth Worley. Mit Tony Hale, Bianca Belle und D'Arcy Carden in den Hauptrollen erzählt der Film die Geschichte einer Familie, die sich gegen lebendig gewordene Monster aus einem Skizzenbuch behaupten muss. Ein Mix aus Abenteuer, Fantasy und emotionaler Tiefe – perfekt für Fans von Tim Burton und Stephen King. The Life of Chuck basiert auf einer Kurzgeschichte von Stephen King und wurde von Mike Flanagan inszeniert. Tom Hiddleston spielt die Hauptrolle in dieser tragikomischen Rückwärts-Erzählung über das Leben von Charles „Chuck“ Krantz. Mit dabei sind auch Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan und Mark Hamill.

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.In this week's episode, I had a conversation with Charles de Lauzirika, filmmaker, documentarian, and film archaeologist as we delve DEEP into the development hell that was ALIEN 3 (1992). Charles was responsible for all of the Behind-the-Scenes footage of the ALIEN QUADRILOGY boxed set and he was the perfect person to talk to as we shared our mutual love and admiration for the much-maligned, somewhat ridiculed, red-headed step-child of the Alien Franchise. This is a MEGA double-sized episode that checks all the boxes for any fan of Cyberpunk Cinema. This one absolutely rocks!So, do me a favor – it's time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is!

Roger Corman had a shot at ALIEN at one point, as we discussed in a previous episode, so this is a "Nearly New World" franchise for us!

This week we feature our second Redux episode in the Alien Franchise run for Spooky Season (AHHHHH) #Halloweylanyutani. Redux episodes feature films we've covered on the show before but with fresh takes, new voices, and lots of renewed perspectives. This time around we're joined by friends of the show Vera Goudie and Matt Ruff to unpack the often frustrating specifics of ALIEN: COVENANT. Following the more polarizing response to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant feels like a deliberate correction -- perhaps an overcorrection -- away from the more thematic, existential questions the franchise was posing to get back to more xenomorphic carnage. The result is a film that abounds in wasted potential, though not without its moments.Also featuring a Patron only segment with our final Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode for this year, this is a hearty, lively, and thoughtful discussion we really hope you enjoy!Patron Only Segment: The Simpsons, Treehouse of Horror XV5:48 - ALIEN: COVENANTSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
