We talk to Dirk Maggs - Audio Director, Producer & Writer. During his amazing career Dirk has worked with the BBC creating award-winning comic adaptations of Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Judge Dredd. After being personally invited by Douglas Adams he created the hugely successful mid 2000's radio return of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and most recently The New York Times #1 Bestselling audio adaptation of Neil Gaiman's comic series The Sandman. We cover all of this along with tales of growing up, his love of music and in particular playing the drums, along with great insights into bringing the unreleased script of Alien III to life and his amazing friendship with Queen's Brian May.This episode is brought to you by our friends Dead Skull Coffee. https://deadskullcoffee.co.uk/discount/STVPlease visit The Straight To Video Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow this show. https://www.patreon.com/stvpod
Devan, Michael, and Ryan wear their best cyberpunk cosplay and discuss William Gibson's Alien 3 script, the first of many failed attempts by multiple writers during the film's tumultuous production process. The crew talk about what they liked in the script, areas where it fell short, and whether it would've worked if 20th Century greenlit it into a feature length film. They also discuss how studio interference, budget concerns, and lack of faith in the project in general ultimately contributed to the demise of the Gibson's attempt. We hope you enjoy this episode as we continue our 30th anniversary celebration of Alien 3. Thank you so much, once again, for your continued support. Stay frosty!

Today's panel of hosts have all seen controversial science-fiction horror and follow-up to 1979's Alien and 1986's Aliens, Alien3, before. Ian saw it at the cinema in 1992 and was disgusted. Kirsty caught it on video as a young adult and didn't think much of it, but went on to become a huge fan of its director, David Fincher. And Dan is a full-on Alien fan who's seen it multiple times in both released versions and knows it inside out. But Ian has recently discovered the wonders of its soundtrack music and that's inspired him to revisit the film and want to talk about it. After all, this film, after an initial critical lambasting, has gone on to be reappraised multiple times; Empire magazine later wrote that, of the original Alien trilogy, the third film "is seen as the least scary but may be the most daring, shot through with a beautiful bleakness." What will our hosts make of it in 2020? Relevant Links and Availability Alien3 (theatrical version) is available to buy on DVD and Blu-Ray and to rent or buy from YouTube and Amazon (as is Terminator: Dark Fate). The 'assembly cut' version is available (with the other three Ripley/Alien films) on the Alien Quadrilogy DVD box-set and the Alien Anthology Blu-Ray Box Set. The audio dramatisation of William Gibson's Alien III is available now exclusively from Audible Episode 2 of Cornwall with Simon Reeve is currently streaming on BBC iPlayer and features the introduction of a rather well-named beaver to the British Isles... His House is currently available to stream on Netflix and you can watch an interview with the writers on Val Verde Broadcasting's YouTube channel Cadabra Records is Ian's current audio drama provider of choice Timelines: The Pendle Witch Child is currently free to watch for Amazon Prime members Visit our website, www.andnowpodcast.com
“Attention is the defining business challenge of our time.” This prolific idea was noted by not one but two guests this week. Jamie Mustard is a strategic multimedia consultant who helps create brands, ideas, and messages that stand out. His new book The Iconist features bold examples from the world of business, art, and music including the story of Mindhunter actor Holt McCallany. We’re lucky to be joined by both Jamie and Holt this week on the On Brand podcast. About Jamie Mustard and Holt McCallany Jamie Mustard is a strategic multimedia consultant and Iconist. His passion is to teach the science and “art of obviousness,” helping professionals, change agents, artists, and businesses confidently and at-will make their messages, brands, and ideas stand out to their desired audiences. A graduate of the London School of Economics, Jamie’s work is an explanation of the “economics of attention,” based on the primal laws of human perception called Blocks. He has spoken, educated, and inspired others with his work prolifically, including TED at the creative giant, Wieden and Kennedy. Jamie’s Iconist work has spanned some of the world’s leading companies, artists, and the globe. Growing up in severe poverty in inner-city Los Angeles, Jamie overcame obstacles to eventually codify a system of primal laws that can now help us all. In a film career spanning over 30 years, Holt McCallany has appeared in well over 100 films and television shows, working with some of the world’s most storied directors. Throughout his varied and versatile career, Holt has worked for David Fincher, David O’Russell, William Friedkin, Lawrence Kasdan, Walter Hill, Clint Eastwood, Brian De Palma, and Michael Mann among many others. He has appeared in notable and pivotal supporting roles in movies like Fight Club, Three Kings, Black Hat, Alien III, Justice League, and Sully. Holt currently stars in the Netflix series Mindhunter for director David Fincher where he plays Bill Tench, a complex, real-life FBI agent researching serial killers in the late 1970s. Episode Highlights The Jamie Mustard-Holt McCallany connection. So how does a famous actor like Holt McCallany know a branding guy like Jamie Mustard? Jamie met Holt years ago when he produced a documentary about Holt’s mother, a famous cabaret singer from the 1950s. “Holt’s story helped me illustrate a point about The Dilution Effect.” One of the central ideas in Jamie’s book The Iconist deals with the economics of attention. Specifically, the fact that there’s so much information, so much content that it’s harder than ever to stand out. Holt starred in a critically acclaimed FX series called Lights Out that was canceled after one season. As the President of FX said at the time, “There were so many shows no one could find it.” Both noted that everyone in every field experiences this to some extent today. “People feel invisible,” said Holt of the endless sources of online media and continuous assaults by advertising, echoing some of the themes from Mindhunter. Jamie’s concept of ‘blocks’ gives creators tools to stand out. Simply put, blocks are “large big road signs someone can understand in their lizard brain.” What’s Wall Drug got to do with it? Of the many things I loved about the book The Iconist, I especially enjoyed that Jamie tells the story of Wall Drug, the massive, quirky drug store in Wall, South Dakota. Jamie referred to the store’s bold repetitive signage as “the first viral campaign.” What brands have made Jamie and Holt and smile recently? Both were decidedly on brand with examples illustrating attention-getting ideas. Holt pointed us to Extinction Rebellion for their work calling attention to climate change and other causes through bold demonstrations. Jamie shared the story of Burger King’s “moldy Whopper” ad, which demonstrates the fast-food favorite’s lack of preservatives in gross detail.

The new GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS looks and acts a lot more like one of the other recent entries in Warner Bros’ “Monsterverse” than it does the classic creature features inspired by the original GODZILLA, but it also consciously echoes Ishiro Honda’s 1954 film in some key ways. After airing our grievances with the frustratingly incoherent KING OF THE MONSTERS, we dig into what links this newest film to its very different predecessor, from its city-flattening monster effects to its shaky attempts to inject human drama amid the kaiju destruction. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.

In this in-depth episode, Patrick sets out to create the definitive account of his favorite unfilmed script: Vincent Ward and John Fasano's legendary Alien III, set on the wood-paneled planetoid of Arceon. You'll hear firsthand accounts by some of the creative forces behind this fascinating story, as well as extensive analysis of what might've worked, what might've flopped, and what ultimately survived into David Fincher's film. You'll also get the full background on how Ward was brought into the picture, where his unique ideas might've come from, and why he was ultimately ejected from the project. Patrick also goes through the script in detail, providing his own dramatic synopsis alongside tightly integrated music cues—hopefully giving some sense of what it might've felt like to watch the film, had it been made. Speaking of the script: if you'd like the read the complete thing, it's available here, for free! // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.perfectorganism.com.

In this minisode—the first in a series of three—Ryan tackles the horrifying, fascinating script written by legendary sci-fi figure William Gibson all the way back in 1987. Gibson's script, which he titled Alien III, explodes with innovative ideas, memorable characters, and high-budget setpieces. Although it was never filmed (and indeed was followed by nearly a dozen subsequent script rewrites), Gibson's ghostly story has influenced subsequent Alien Saga films in some very real and noticeable ways—perhaps none more so than Alien: Covenant. Before we got Alien 3, we nearly had Alien III. This is its story. * For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.perfectorganism.com. * If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: search for "Building Better Worlds". * To support the show, please consider visiting www.perfectorganism.com/support.

In this episode, Jaime and Peter discuss the scores of the Alien saga, and play selections from the soundtracks. From Jerry Goldsmith's hauntingly beautiful 1979 score of Alien, to Elliot Goldenthal's gothic and harrowing score for 1992's Alien III, we dissect each film's score.
