El 19 de juny, vam entrevistar Carlos Arenas, escriptor, professor a la Universitat de Valencià, especialista de l'artista Hans Ruedi Giger i conservador de l'exposició dedicada a aquest artista. Giger és un artista suís que va crear una obra misteriosa, aterridora i magnífica, molt lligada al moviment surrealista. És una figura mítica del món cinematogràfic i del disseny, és conegut del gran públic per haver creat el monstre d'Alien, a la pel·lícula de Ridley Scott de 1979. 

In 1979 the film "Alien" set the gold standard for the genre of sci-fi horror, but what if the eponymous alien xenomorph was something more than merely a work of fiction? Their design and appearance were heavily inspired by the works of Swiss artist H.R. Giger, who claimed the idea for them came to him in dreams. Could he have seen through the veil to a truly terrifying part of this world? Tonight's eyewitness account will beg the question.....

Travis Ginger of Nalvin traveled his gargantuan gourd to the competition in Half Moon Day, California, of course, Phil, not for where you are where it was placed on a massive scale and dubbed the heaviest in the contest. The win marked Giger's fourth top spot win in the Safeway World Championship pumpkin weigh off. And if you're not from the United States, Safeway is a grocery store. It's Really big in California and a couple other places. So a 2, 400 pound squash. Now that's not the most he's ever. grown. And back in 2023, he raised a 2, 700 pound pumpkin named Michael Jordan. Now I don't understand why they have to name these things. That is the mystery to me is why would you have to name a pumpkin or a gourd? It is what it is. And it's just heavy, right? Philip Totaro: I mean, I'm, I'm impressed not only by the, the growing of something that large, but the logistics of getting it from the Midwest out to California. I mean, we talk in the wind energy industry about the logistics around, shipping components and, and things like that all the time. I mean, how the hell do you even truck a 2, 400 pound? And that's, that's gotta be a pretty, that's got, that's a big rig right there, isn't it? It'd be Allen Hall: Travis to start. Moving some blades around. There's been some blades that look like they've been moved like pumpkins, I've seen lately. Yikes. Philip Totaro: Yeah, well, Aion, we did catalog the fact that blade damage was the number one cost impact on, on repairs, so. Maybe this guy can teach the industry a thing or two. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Allen Hall, and I'll be joined by my Uptime co host, After these news headlines, France is making waves in offshore wind development, announcing plans to tender for 9. 2 gigawatts of projects in the coming months. This includes two fixed and three floating wind farms to be built off the coast of the Ficon, Brittany, the Gasconia Gulf, and the southern Mediterranean. These installations are part of France's ambitious goal to have 45 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2050. Francis, Energy Minister, emphasized the importance of these projects for the industrial value chain, urging companies to maintain their local presence for turbine manufacturing and installation. Crossing the Atlantic, Hydro Québec and Lyons, de l'Energie de l'Est. has unveiled a plan for a new wind farm in eastern Quebec. The project, which could generate up to one gigawatt, represents a three billion dollar investment in the region and spans over 700 square kilometers. This development also includes First Nations marking a step towards economic reconciliation. The project aligns with Hydro Quebec's strategic shift towards collaborating with communities from the outset. In the United States,

And this episode it's the turn of director Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi/horror masterpiece, Alien, a film our trio have been eager to discuss since the podcast began. They discuss the film's inception, it's production and the incredible creative talents that would craft one of the most visually astounding films ever made with a level of set design and an overall aesthetic like no film before it. At the forefront of this was the incredible work of Swiss surrealist, H.R. Giger, whose creature designs would birth a new type of nightmare fodder that would terrify audiences the world over. They discuss composer Jerry Goldsmith's majestic score, the incredible practical effects and a cast of just seven actors that surely ranks as one of the greatest ever assembled. So suit up, strap in and enjoy Film ‘89's celebration of the 45th anniversary of a motion picture that's widely regarded as one of the most influential, genre defining, and arguably, most perfect films ever made.

After seeing Aliens - Romulus in the theater last week, it hit me. Xenomorphs are space dragons. They come from the void, and is no real sense that exist to do anything but bring death. They are matriarchal. Is a queen -- like the one in Resurrection -- a manifestation of Tiamat? And there's a Satanic connection -- Satanists love H.R. Giger who designed the xenomorphs and who also produced all kinds of Baphomets and occult imagery. Look up his Necronomicon. Join us as we discuss all things xenomorph and how they fit into the eternal archetype of the Dragon that must die.⚡THE ADVENTURE COLLECTION⚡During this episode, we mentioned The Order of Fire's new Adventure collection, featuring a Stay Solar cap and stylish safari shirt designed by Jack Donovan. Check out the collection here.

As the title implies; in this episode I offer my thoughts on the newest entry in the Aliens franchise. In my usual meandering style, I also discuss other topics such as the Evil Dead franchise and H.R. Giger along the way.

Jurandir Filho, Rogério Montanare, Sora, Matheus e Bela Eichler batem um papo sobre uma das franquias mais importantes da história do cinema: "Alien"!!! Iniciada em 1979 com "Alien: O Oitavo Passageiro", dirigido por Ridley Scott, o filme apresentou uma mistura inovadora de terror e ficção científica, com um design de criatura aterrorizante criado por H.R. Giger. O longa estabeleceu a personagem Ripley, interpretada por Sigourney Weaver, como uma das primeiras heroínas fortes e complexas do cinema, desafiando estereótipos de gênero na época. A franquia expandiu-se com várias sequências, prequelas, e crossovers, cada uma explorando diferentes aspectos do universo "Aliens, O Resgate" (1986) de James Cameron, "Alien 3" de David Fincher, "Alien - A Ressurreição" de Jean-Pierre Jeunet, os spin-offs "Alien vs Predador 1 e 2", "Prometheus" (2012), "Alien: Covenant" (2017) e agora o mais recente "Alien: Romulus". 00:00 Abertura02:32 Alien, o Oitavo Passageiro22:51 Aliens - O Resgate40:33 Alien 354:33 Alien - A Ressurreição01:11:51 Alien vs Predador01:17:29 Prometheus01:30:51 Alien Covenant01:40:27 Alien Romulus02:33:20 Notas

Hey there, Watchers! In this special quick-review episode, Whitey dives into the much-anticipated Alien: Romulus with his Alien Romulus Quick Review. This is Whitey's first solo movie breakdown, so let's see how he handles the acid-blooded pressure of reviewing one of the year's most anticipated sci-fi horror films!Alien: Romulus delivers the pulse-pounding tension and gritty horror that fans have been waiting for. Director Fede Álvarez knocks it out of the park by dialling the franchise back to its roots. The story is simple and effective: a group of space colonists finds themselves trapped on a derelict station, fighting for survival as the Xenomorphs hunt them. It's a setup we know well, but here it works because Álvarez knows how to make the familiar feel fresh.The setting itself, the Romulus space station, feels alive with danger. It's dark, decaying, and claustrophobic—a perfect playground for the terrifying, acid-blooded creatures we've come to fear. The practical effects are superb, with the Xenomorphs looking slimy, grotesque, and scarier than in years. Álvarez balances this with moments of eerie silence, making you dread what's lurking in the shadows. It's the kind of movie that keeps you gripping your seat.Cailee Spaeny leads the charge as Rain Carradine, and she's fantastic. She's got the same no-nonsense survival instinct that made Ripley iconic, but with her spin. Spaeny is intense without overdoing it, and her character feels real—vulnerable but tough. David Jonsson also adds a solid performance as her synthetic brother Andy, offering a unique emotional layer amidst the chaos.Overall, Alien: Romulus is a thrilling ride that pays homage to the original while carving its path. It's tense, atmospheric, and packed with scares. Fans of the franchise are going to love this one."When it comes to the Alien franchise, few film series have left such a lasting impact on both science fiction and horror. Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien introduced a new kind of space terror, blending atmospheric tension with groundbreaking creature design, courtesy of H.R. Giger. The film set the template for a claustrophobic, survival-based narrative. At the same time, James Cameron's 1986 sequel Aliens ramped up the action, turning the franchise into a blend of horror and military sci-fi.Subsequent entries like Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection had their own take on the mythology, though with mixed receptions, often criticised for straying too far from what made the originals great. The prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, attempted to expand the universe's lore, diving into the origins of the Xenomorphs and broader existential themes, but often polarised the fanbase with their more cerebral approach.Alien: Romulus sits somewhere between the original films and the newer prequels. It strips away the complex world-building seen in Prometheus and Covenant, opting for a more straightforward survival horror, much like Alien and Aliens. It feels like a love letter to the franchise's gritty roots while still exploring fresh ideas. It's a return to form, focusing on what the series does best—intense, claustrophobic horror, with a few new twists that keep it relevant for today's audience.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

DescriptionIt has been 45 years since the first Alien (1979) film released in the cinema receiving lukewarm reviews. Perhaps the impact of a different kind of science fiction film was completely lost on film critics having to deal with the many clasher films of the 70s and a slew of Star Wars rip offs? But since then, Alien has cemented its reputation as a sci-fi film classic. Although there were many sci-fi horrors in the 1950s B-movies this film was different. There is no dashing hero, no damsel in distress waiting to be rescued, no bug eyed monster that takes away from the gritty realism of the film. This film set science fiction cinema on a different course. The ExpertsRoger Luckhurst is a Professor at Birkbeck, University of London. He specialises in literature, film, and cultural history from the 19th century to the present. He has written/edited a crazy number of articles and books including the BFI Film Classics book on Alien. Jason Eberl is a Professor for Health Care Ethics at St Louis University with a special interest in biotechnology, human enhancement and the philosophy of human nature. He has also written extensively including a range of books that examine the philosophy of various mainstream media such as Star Wars, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica.

Much of his legacy and work is thought to be lost due to the huge earthquake in San Francisco in 1906. My two wonderful guests are working hard to have him and his work recognised.

Perhaps the most iconic extraterrestrial terror in cinematic history, the titular aliens of Ridley Scott's masterful Alien and its subsequent franchise are recognizable not only by their distinct look, but their uniquely terrifying properties. We're asking all the big questions in this episode. Just how worried should we be about the kinds of parasites that can do, well, what these aliens so famously do? Is that gestation period something seen elsewhere in (terrestrial) nature? And what the hell is up with their acid blood, anyway? And while these are very specific fictional bio-horror creatures with roots in nature, what was their inspiration and how were they designed for the screen? Like the film, this episode of Does it Fly? is not for the faint of heart. And that's only the beginning of the fun in our latest episode!

Here are a few recommendations!Parasitoid Wasps“The alien life cycle [as depicted in the movies] in part mimics parasitic or parasitoid animals here on Earth like parasitoid wasps who lay their eggs in caterpillars. But it's different!” See also: Insect Life Cycles and Horizontal Gene TransferTongue-eating Louse“You know what this reminds me of? It's so gross. Are you familiar with these arthropods that eat a fish's tongue, replaces it, and then lives there as its tongue? They attach themselves to the base of the tongue they just ate and live life and eat with the fish. So the fish catches the food [but these creatures get the benefit].”H.R. Giger's Necronom IV“For those of you who may not be familiar, H.R. Giger is an artist and his work is biomechanical. It combines mechanical forms with humanoid forms and it's really creepy. It's dark and it usually has sexual overtones. It's reptilian, it's insectoid, it's really scary. And the actual design from the fully-grown Xenomorph is pulled directly from his work Necronom IV.”Hydrofluoric Acid“Speaking of the aliens' acid blood…you can't tell hydrofluoric acid apart from water. You could pour it on your hand and you wouldn't feel a thing. It consumes calcium. When you go into training they show you all of these horrible training movies about what happens when you don't do the proper care. What you're supposed to do is wash it with water for a long time, and then there's a cream that contains calcium that you put on it, because [the acid] migrates to where the calcium is. If you don't do that and you go home that night, you'll wake up with mangled limbs because the hydrofluoric acid consumes the calcium in your bones.”SUGGESTED VIEWINGWhile the Alien franchise is as vast and ever-expanding as the cosmos itself, we only focused on the first three films in the franchise to get into the (gross) specifics necessary about alien incubation for this episode.AlienNot only one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time, but one of the greatest horror movies of all time! The word “masterpiece” is thrown around a little too freely these days, but in the case of Ridley Scott's first sci-fi film it might not be high enough praise.  AliensJames Cameron picked up the ball from Ridley Scott, kept almost everything that made the original so great, and added a hefty dose of blockbuster action. Who says sequels can't rival the original? It's just a matter of whether you want a little more action with your gooey alien horror or more suspense that determines which of these films you prefer.Alien 3Not as bad as you've heard and probably a lot better than you remember it! Not to mention it's an early feature film directorial effort by a fella named David Fincher. Ever heard of him? FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

In 1979 Ridley Scott combined, sci-fi, suspense, and a the nightmares of H. R. Giger  to create the groundbreaking film Alien. Seven years later James Cameron doubled down, giving us the sci-fi, action thriller, Aliens. After these two films Alien(s) fans eagerly awaited the next bold, innovative pivot, they would see in this franchise. They're still kind of waiting. This August the folks at 21st Century Fox (recently consumed alive by Disney) take another turn at bat with, Aliens: Romulus, which reportedly falls in between the two watchable films. The Regular Joe's take a look at the trailer and chart their hopes and fears. In Aliens, Carter Burke was such a perfect soulless, corporate hack that audiences cheered when he died horribly. Recently Marvel, the current license holder for the Aliens comics, released a “What if Carter Burke had lived? story. Because they continue to cling for hope that something good will float to the surface in the oily, stagnant pool of the Alien franchise the Joes read it and let you know what they think. There's also the usual, Random Topics and a round of What's in the Box. Thanks for listening?

While avant-garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky might be most famous for the wildly ambitious version of Dune that never got made - in spite of having actors and artists like Orson Welles, Salvador Dalí, Mick Jagger, Pink Floyd, H.R. Giger, and Mœbius attached to the project - he was also the creative force behind several dynamic and influential films. In this episode, William Egginton (The Rigor of Angels: Borges, Kant, Heisenberg, and the Ultimate Nature of Reality) returns to discuss his new book, Alejandro Jodorowsky: Filmmaker and Philosopher. PLUS David Sterling Brown (Shakespeare's White Others) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

We'll then venture into the depths of "Prey," the latest entry in the iconic Predator franchise, before lightening the mood with a nostalgic look back at the animated classic, "Hey Arnold!"Top 5 Predators in Film:The Predator from "Predator" (1987) - The original jungle stalker that blends high-tech hunting with primal instincts, setting the bar for extra-terrestrial hunters.The Xenomorph from "Alien" (1979) - H.R. Giger's nightmarish creation remains one of the most terrifying and efficient killers in sci-fi history.The T-Rex from "Jurassic Park" (1993) - Spielberg resurrected cinema's most iconic dinosaur as a towering, relentless force of nature.The Shark from "Jaws" (1975) - The great white that made an entire generation think twice about stepping into the ocean, proving that the most frightening predators come from the depths.The Velociraptors from "Jurassic Park" (1993) - Smart, fast, and terrifyingly coordinated, these dinosaurs showcased the lethal cunning of nature's hunters.Main Feature - Prey (2022):"Prey" takes us back to the roots of the Predator franchise, setting the stage centuries ago in the Comanche Nation.

When a stunningly gorgeous woman wants to have sex with you, for FREE,  the hour you meet her, that should raise a red flag.  Especially if she's really an H.R. Giger-designed alien creature masquerading as Natasha Henstridge.  Hey, it happens.  This 1995 movie delivers the blood and boobs (human and extraterrestrial, to be precise) and boasts a pretty impressive cast with a thankless assignment chasing this babe all over L.A. trying to stop her from getting pregnant and slaughtering her suitors.  Girl's got ISSUES!  But whatever species you might belong to, this is a really fun flick worth watching, even if it is a bit..."SIL-ly".
