Podcasts about Giger

In this episode, JF and Phil discuss Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi/horror blockbuster Alien. Together, they wipe off the patina of familiarity that beclouds the film, restoring it to its original weirdness. What is the organism that terrorizes the Nostromo? What's its relation to technology, evolution, industry? How does it differ from the monsters of older horror classics? How does one interpret without explaining away?

Send us Fan MailIn this podcast episode, tattooer and fine artist Vincent Castiglia explains how he began using blood as a medium, describing its unique kinetic energy and personal connection. He details the technical process—collecting blood (initially via diabetic lancets), preventing clotting, storing it refrigerated in airtight vials, diluting only with water, and using decomposition stages to control hue and value. Castiglia discusses public reactions, misconceptions, and the spiritual and historical context of blood in art, including cave paintings, and shares commissions using others' blood. The conversation covers imagination, synchronicity, trauma, Giger's insight into a painting linked to Castiglia's near-amputation accident, artistic influences, advice for finding an authentic voice, and closes with commentary on modern tattoo content trends and contact information for his websites and Instagram pages.Support the show

Jim and John tackle the Season 24 finale and the show's 150th story, featuring Bonnie Langford's abrupt departure, Sophie Aldred's introduction as Ace, the return of Sabalom Glitz, and one of the most infamous cliffhangers in Doctor Who history. Jim struggles to find redeeming qualities in a season he considers possibly the worst in Classic Who, while production issues and budget constraints become increasingly evident. The 150th Story Milestone: Written by Ian Briggs (who will later write fan-favorite "The Curse of Fenric"), directed by Chris Clough (completing his second "last two stories of a season" after Trial of a Time Lord). Originally pitched as story about an intergalactic shopping center owner wanting the TARDIS for the ultimate shopping experience. The BBC counted Trial of a Time Lord as one story arc, so technically this should be story 153. Andrew Cartmell brought writers into his office for collaborative discussion—closest thing to a "writer's room" Doctor Who ever had. Cartmell considered this the best story of Season 24, which Jim finds bewildering given his own assessment of the season. The Infamous Umbrella Cliffhanger: Everybody fixates on McCoy lowering himself over a parapet by his umbrella, stopping mid-descent and hanging there looking confused. The scene has become legendary for all the wrong reasons—why did he do it in the first place when he wasn't trapped? According to Briggs, the script called for the Doctor to lower himself because he was trapped with nowhere to go, and the actual cliffhanger was supposed to be the dragon appearing. The awkward execution wasn't the writer's fault. Director and production team share blame for one of the series' most criticized moments. Sophie Aldred as Ace: Cast at age 26 to play 16-year-old Ace (10 years younger than her actual age—more than Burt Ward's 6-year gap playing Robin). Actually two years older than Bonnie Langford despite playing significantly younger. Sophie auditioned for Ray in "Delta and the Bannermen" but didn't get it—worked in her favor as Ace became iconic. Character is human from late 20th century Earth who arrived on Iceworld when chemistry experiment triggered time storm in her bedroom. Uses homemade explosive "Nitro-9" and shouts "Ace!" frequently (which doesn't work for Jim). Calls the Doctor "Professor" which he tries to discourage. John admits he initially hated Ace in this story—found her annoying and grumpy, a "miserable brat." But promises a "Richter scale" shift in appreciation with the next story, suggesting maturation between seasons and genuine chemistry developing with McCoy that was absent with Mel. Bonnie Langford's Awkward Exit: Mel's departure makes no narrative sense—no setup, no telegraphing, completely out of nowhere. She suddenly decides to stay with Glitz to "keep him out of trouble" with zero romantic hints or friendship development to justify it. The farewell scene wasn't written by Briggs—it was McCoy's audition piece that he loved so much he convinced Cartmell to insert it into the script. Both later regretted this decision. Briggs washes his hands of it: "I didn't write that." Bonnie had to act opposite her replacement throughout, standing back while production sells Sophie/Ace hard, often getting relegated to the background. Classic Who pattern of treating departing companions poorly. Jim notes tiny bit of charm finally emerging between McCoy and Bonnie right at the very end—too little, too late. Bonnie's Post-Who Career: Didn't get the serious acting career she hoped Doctor Who would provide. Continued successful musical theater and light entertainment work but remained the butt of jokes for years—including a 1990s condom commercial depicting her parents with slogan "if only they'd used a condom." Public perception shifted when she appeared on "Strictly Come Dancing" (British dance competition) alongside John Barrowman. Fans hoped for Doctor Who face-off but she was injured during rehearsal and had to withdraw; Barrowman voted out shortly after. Her bravery with the injury softened public opinion—now considered a "national treasure" in Britain. This is why she was brought back for New Who, not just fan service. The Glitz Problem: Tony Selby returns as Sabalom Glitz—JNT read the script, liked having Tony Selby (who was "hot" at the time appearing on other British TV), and suggested using Glitz instead of similar character. Glitz owns the Nosferatu (referenced in Trial of a Time Lord). Jim couldn't stand Glitz's hair. Compares him to Star Trek's Cyrano Jones/Harry Mudd. Softened for this story, lost whatever bite he had before. No chemistry with anyone—not Ace, not the Doctor. Tony Selby passed away in 2021 at age 83. In New Who, Mel references traveling with "Sabalom Glitz" until he was 107, slipped on a bottle, cracked his head and died. She returned to Earth by "hopping on a Zingo" (running joke—no one knows what a Zingo is). Kane and the Ice World Setting: Edward Peel plays Kane, the villain who controls Iceworld trading colony on dark side of planet Svartos. His touch is so cold it can kill. Marks employees with his symbol iced into their flesh. Basically "Mr. Freeze redux" per Jim. Kane is half of Kane-Xana criminal gang from planet Proamon. Xana killed herself to avoid arrest; Kane was exiled to cold dark side of Svartos. Iceworld is actually a spacecraft—the "treasure" is a crystal that activates the ship to end his exile. Kane's head-melting death scene well-executed (reminds Jim of Star Trek TNG's "Conspiracy" but actually inspired by Toht/Belloq melting in Raiders of the Lost Ark). Jim wishes they'd lingered on the effect a second or two longer—it was actually done well. Patricia Quinn as Belazs: The only character Jim cared about in Part One. Reminded him strongly of Glynis Johns. Plays officer who realizes Kane won't release her, tries to escape, attempts to overthrow Kane by raising temperature in his chambers. Patricia Quinn interviewed on Blu-ray—now a British Duchess with purple hair, incredibly eccentric despite aristocratic status. Behind the Sofa caught her looking off-camera for cue cards "like a Saturday Night Live skit." Belazs killed by Kane, goes out "like a chump" when Jim thought she deserved to be the one to dispatch Kane. New lackeys introduced in Part 3 waste screen time that could have developed her character better. The Derivative Dragon: Jim catalogs extensive borrowing from other sci-fi properties: Dragon is blatant Alien/Aliens ripoff—H.R. Giger's xenomorph design copied almost exactly (long thin arms, fingers, back protrusions, head shape like Alien Queen) Described as "biomechanoid" (Giger's biomechanical design philosophy) Superman Fortress of Solitude hologram crystal stolen wholesale—hologram woman appears to conveniently explain backstory exactly like Lex Luthor scene in Superman II Alien tracker guns copied from Aliens (complete with "it should be right on us" suspense) Zombies added to cliché pile Jim notes the show stopped ripping off Star Wars and moved on to Alien franchise and Superman movies. This is "perhaps never more" derivative than in this story. Production and Budget Collapse: "Batman Season 3 worthy sets"—budget clearly ran out by season's end. Station sets not impressive, doesn't sell the Ice World concept. Model of planet surface done well, but interior sets very lacking. Shot brightest possible lights, no atmosphere or mystery. Dragon walks around "like a costume character at Disney World." Almost entirely studio-bound with minimal location work. Cliffhanger at end of Part 2 "one of the most horribly dull ever"—Kane just declares "the dragonfire shall be mine" with no tension whatsoever. The McCoy Problem Continues: Jim still doesn't know who McCoy's Doctor is. An engaging Doctor can carry even poor stories (citing Colin Baker), but McCoy isn't doing that. Not a force within the show, just reacting. Both McCoy and Mel "treading water" all season. This is McCoy's "freshman year" but with a producer trying to rebuild without reaching out to anything—soft reboot that plays it safe with half the budget. Jim sees all the tropes and clichés but not innovation. Brief moment of crankiness when McCoy yells "SILENCE!" at the girls—is this the temperamental side promised? Tiny bit of charm emerges at very end with Mel but too late. No chemistry with Bonnie throughout until final seconds. John's thesis: "These three seasons walked so New Who could run." Season 24 feels like desperate attempt to make it a kids' show again but dumbing it down ("Uncle Miltie's Carnival of Fun"). Philosophy discussion scene interesting but "puts everyone in the audience asleep." Cast Notes: Tony Osoba (Kracauer) played Lan in "Destiny of the Daleks," returns in New Who episode "Kill the Moon" Sharon Duce (customer with milkshake dumped on her) was the camper killed by Ogri in "Stones of Blood" (the scene that scandalized Jim and John for depicting unmarried relations) Little girl Stellar played by Miranda Borman—wearing a dress Bonnie Langford wore at that age for a role. Hosts wonder if this was a stage mother situation Large cast overall—perhaps one of the largest in Doctor Who history The Cartmell Philosophy: Andrew Cartmell doesn't like interior TARDIS scenes, so "we're not gonna see the console room much moving forward." Jim outraged: "That's inane... good writing doesn't drag a scene down." Lost opportunities for insightful TARDIS interactions between Doctor and companions. Fandom Division: By end of Season 24, fandom most divided over show's direction. Fanzine DWB went on crusade to get JNT sacked—he considered suing but BBC told him to leave it. BBC willing to let him go after 25th season (which he wanted to see through) but he stayed on longer than that. Jim's Season Assessment: Can't think of another time the show has felt this low overall. Rough, a slog. Still not sure who McCoy is as a Doctor. Compares unfavorably to Colin Baker era—at least Colin was consistent and worth watching even in poor stories. Sees Season 24 as show desperately wanting spunky girl companion (keeps trying over and over) but not knowing what to do with them when they get one (Mel being prime example). Both agree it's not a good way to end the season. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive 170: Music selection, Season 24 retrospective, at least one Season 25 spoiler for Jim, comic strip reviews of "Redemption" and "The Crossroads of Time" (both one-parters), and Memory TARDIS wheel spin.

In the Cards (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), S5 E25) was recommended by Shay, She/Her, saying:"I love this episode for what it represents. It is the breath of fresh air right before the shit hits the fan regarding the Dominion War. The plot is light-hearted and doesn't take itself too seriously. Even Weyoun gets a cute moment at the end. And after this episode, everything basically changes forever. You don't really go back to these low stakes romps around the station with Nog and Jake once Season 5 ends"Was also recommended by Lauren Rivers who said:When it aired, I didn't think much of this episode. It wasn't bad, by any means, but it has come to mean a lot more to me over the years as it is one of the episodes to feature the friendship between Jake and Nog front and center. In an effort to surprise his father, he and his best friend go through a series of events to acquire a Willie Mays rookie card. Unable to tell anyone why, they must do favors for the senior staff to get what they need. Along the way, they are even captured by the Dominion.What makes this episode so wonderful is not only does it focus on the great chemistry between Cirroc Lofton and Aron Eisenberg, but it also reminds us of how much little things people do can have a butterfly effect. Do they save the universe? No. But everyone in the episode comes out of it a little bit happier, and sometimes that makes all the difference for what comes next. On a personal note, Aron Eisenberg was one of the few celebrities who I felt I knew on a somewhat personal level, and he is one of the few celebrity deaths to hit me as hard as a member of my own family. Any chance to highlight the remarkable talent and spirit that Aron had is a huge positive for me.In the Cards first aired on June 9, 1997, written by story by Truly Barr Clark & Scott J. Neal, teleplay by Ronald D. Moore, and directed by Michael DornJake wants to give his father a present to cheer him up, a 1951 Willie Mays baseball card. He enlists Nog to help him obtain it, but they run into complications with a mysterious geneticist, Dr. Giger.

Auf der Schwägalp, wo alljährlich im August vor grandioser Bergkulisse das legendäre Schwägalp-Schwinget stattfindet, haben Schlegel Werner und Giger Samuel nun im «Samschtig-Jass» die Chance, doch noch König zu werden – ob sich einer der beiden Spitzenschwinger am Schluss im «Säntis – das Hotel» Jasskönig nennen darf? Für musikalische Unterhaltung ist die Ostschweizer Volksmusiksängerin Andrea Wirth zuständig, die mit ihrem Lied «Ghörsch die Glogge» die Jass-Schweiz auf eine musikalische Reise mitnimmt, die von der Schwägalp bis auf den Säntisgipfel führt.

Steffan and Gavia discuss one of the most influential sci-fi movies of all time: Ridley Scott's Alien. Spawning an iconic franchise and dozens of copycats, Alien is part monster movie, part dystopian thriller, starring Sigourney Weaver in her breakout role. Renowned for its genre-defining production design, this film established a "space trucker" aesthetic for its working-class spaceship setting - and introduced a uniquely grotesque antagonist in the form of H.R. Giger's xenomorph.

Dans l'espace, personne ne vous entendra crier... sauf nous. Enfermés à bord de la station Sébastopol, Pedro et HKR se préparent à survivre face au prédateur ultime dans ce nouvel épisode en duo de NewGame+.Alien Isolation, le survival horror de Creative Assembly sorti en 2014, n'est pas qu'un simple jeu d'horreur : c'est une déclaration d'amour à la licence culte de Ridley Scott,une masterclass d'immersion et sans doute le vrai Alien 2 que les fans attendaient depuis 35 ans. De la genèse tumultueuse du projet jusqu'à son statut de jeu culte, découvrez comment un studio britannique spécialisé dans le RTS stratégique (Total War) a réussi l'impensable :transformer un moteur de jeu prévu pour des paysages vikings en extérieur en un chef-d'œuvre claustrophobique spatial, grâce à une démo technique de 3 semaines qui a convaincu SEGAde leur donner carte blanche. Au programme : L'univers Alien Retour sur la licence emblématique depuis le film de 1979, l'héritage de H.R. Giger et sa biomécanique cauchemardesque, les adaptations vidéoludiques ratées(Colonial Marines, Alien Trilogy, Alien vs Predator), et pourquoi cette licence si parfaite pour le jeu vidéo a mis tant de temps à trouver son jeu définitif. Le développement légendaire La collaboration exceptionnelle entre Creative Assembly et la Fox qui a donné accès aux archives complètes du film (plans de construction, concept arts, props originaux),le challenge technique d'adapter un moteur inadapté, la création de trois couches d'intelligence artificielle pour le Xénomorphe, et cette anecdote folle où les testeursne pouvaient évaluer le jeu qu'une fois tous les éléments assemblés. Le gameplay révolutionnaire L'IA du Xénomorphe qui apprend de vos actions, le détecteur de mouvement iconique, la gestion des ressources limitées, les Working Joe terrifiants,l'importance capitale du sound design (enregistré sur bandes magnétiques avec du matériel analogique des années 70-80), et pourquoi chaque mort provoqueune explosion de jurons bien sentis. L'héritage et la réception Un métacritique de 81/100 à sa sortie qui cache une reconnaissance tardive, l'impact des streamers jouant en VR, Sigourney Weaver qui prête sa voix par conviction,les DLC "Crew Expendable" et "Last Survivor" qui recréent les scènes du film, et l'annonce tant attendue d'Alien Isolation 2. Les thématiques de la saga Le capitalisme prédateur de Weyland-Yutani, l'isolement spatial, la figure de la femme forte, le corps et la technologie, la solitude face au vide cosmique,et comment le jeu respecte fidèlement l'ADN du film original avec ses 18h30 de tension pure. Entre analyses techniques pointues, anecdotes de développement fascinantes et retours d'expérience sur un jeu qui continue de faire trembler les plus endurcis,cet épisode explore pourquoi Alien Isolation reste, plus de 10 ans après sa sortie, la référence absolue du survival horror cinématographiqueet un exemple rare d'adaptation qui comprend vraiment son matériau d'origine.

Records; a remastered edition containing two bonus tracks was reissued on August 5, 2013 through Rock Candy Records. The album reached No. 119 on the U. S. Billboard 200 chart.

Josh and Drusilla discuss a colossal achievement of sci-fi horror, Alien (1979). From, wiki: “Alien is a 1979 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Dan O'Bannon, based on a story by O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. It follows a commercial starship crew who investigate a derelict space vessel and are hunted by a deadly extraterrestrial creature.

Giger, while the concept artists Ron Cobb and Chris Foss designed the other sets.”Also discussed: awards season including Train Dreams, Hamnet, Sentimental Value, If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Bugonia, Gilmore Girls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Running Man, Primate, and more.  NEXT WEEK: Day of Wrath (1943) Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/  

Species (1995) — Sexy, slimy, and scientifically suspect, Species crashes onto the screen with H.R. Giger creature designs, government scientists in panic mode, and a half-alien femme fatale on the loose.

No frio silêncio do espaço, ninguém pode ouvir você gritar. Mas aqui na Terra, o grito ecoou por gerações.No episódio de hoje, nos lançamos na escuridão claustrofóbica e visceral da franquia Alien, uma das obras mais influentes do horror e da ficção científica. Desde o lançamento do primeiro filme em 1979, a criatura de H. R. Giger e a atmosfera opressora criada por Ridley Scott se tornaram ícones do medo moderno. Mas o que torna Alien tão aterrador mesmo décadas depois?Junte-se a Andrei Fernandes, Hell, Jey e Lucas Balaminut para explorar os temas ocultos por trás da gosma e do sangue ácido: o corpo feminino como campo de batalha, a biopolítica dos monstros, a guerra entre humanidade e máquina, e o terror do desconhecido como uma extensão do capital. Vamos discutir como essa franquia moldou o horror cósmico no cinema — e como ainda nos persegue.Prepare-se para uma jornada através do útero do medo. Porque Alien nunca foi só um monstro: é um espelho daquilo que mais tememos em nós mesmos.Links:VENHA ESTUDAR COM DESCONTO NA EBAC - ESCOLA BRITÂNICA DE ARTES CRIATIVAS E TECNOLOGIAhttps://ebac.me/s0d4Use o cupom de desconto: mundofreak (para R$200 de desconto e 3 meses de acesso à EBAC)[CURSOS MUNDO FREAK] É o Demônio!

This week we take a look at an almost sci-fi classic in Species. Alien life sends us a code which turns out to be a map to make an alien-human hybrid but turns out they're evil! Or are they! Based on design from Alien's H.R. Giger and with a great cast including Natasha Henstridge, the late great Micheal Madsen, Forest Whitake, Ben Kingsley and even Alfred Molina, find out why this movie isn't considered a sci-fi classic.

This week, we're chasing down 1995 sexy sci-fi horror flick "Species." We talk about Michael Madsen, Ben Kingsley, H.R. Giger, and why casting super model Natasha Henstridge as an alien-human hybrid is critic proof. Listen now.

This week we're talking everybody's favorite topic- local politics! But legitimately, it's something that's becoming more important by the day and actually far more fulfilling and invigorating than you may initially think. We invited our friend Britt (many of you know her as @thebrittbee) to have this conversation with us as she's been such a great example of this since the beginning of the year. Topics covered include:Why it's so important to be positively fighting for what we want, not merely be fighting against what we dislikeEmbracing the courage it takes to let the people in your life know that you're not down with authoritarianismThe power of clubs in fostering community and personal growthHer mantra of "Good Always Wins"Matriarchy and the vibes we could use more ofAnd MORE!Shoutouts:Join or Die (documentary)The Story of B by Daniel QuinnThe Phoenician SchemeA Rebellion of Care by David GateSouth Park season 27WeaponsThe Bad Guys 2KPop Demon HuntersFollow Working Families and look for your local branchFollow Britt:InstagramWebsite (Join her club!)Follow Us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Philip's Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlueSky⁠⁠⁠Share Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

Summit Christian Coach Justin Giger 2025 preview by PrepsKC

Eine leidenschaftliche Reise durch den Alien-Kosmos: Von der Faszination der ersten Filme bis zum hoffnungsvollen Warten auf die neue Serie „Alien: Earth“.

I sat down with the infectious Britt Giger with that big sister energy to talk about all things revolution, and what effective activism looks like now. Not the kind that burns us out, but the kind that brings us back to ourselves, and actually works for the long game. The kind rooted in community, creativity, and connection.You will be so inspired and lit up by THIS WOMAN. We talked about what is looks like to co-create matriarchy without knowing exactly what that looks like yet. And don't worry, y'all, we figured it out: Women have a perspective that can reshape society. And the dads? Turns out they're perfectly suited for modern parenthood.Also?? Britt, in her hilarious relatable way, talks about how she does shadow work in her bed while on gummies. She talks about the essentialness of starting clubs. She talks about how she's creating safe spaces for women in small-town Missouri to be "delulu" together, and how that shiitake actually works. If you've been feeling disillusioned, disconnected, or like your voice doesn't matter, let this episode bring you home. The revolution is relational. The power is already inside you.And our new mantra—say it with us until you believe it:Good always wins.You can find her wise infectious goodness on her IG: @thebrittbee and also her website, @thebrittbee.com

There was a phony article going around that Jello Biafra was going to reunite with East Bay Ray and Klaus Flouride to once again be The Dead Kennedys. It's not true, but why do the DKS have such beef?

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.....

Tonight my special guest is William Ramsey who's here and this time we discuss the occult and Alister Crowley.   In the book Children of the Beast, author William Ramsey traces the influence of the Great Beast, Aleister Crowley, upon the culture and history of the Twentieth Century and the New Millennium. Based upon a vast examination of diverse sources, Ramsey exposes how varied individuals such as Adolf Hitler, Ian Fleming, Arthur C. Clarke, H. R. Giger, Timothy Leary and David Bowie are connected to and influenced by Aleister Crowley, the Prophet of the New Age. Packed with original research and containing unique insights into the lives of famous personalities, Children of the Beast grasps the immense impact of Aleister Crowley upon modern history.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio

On this extra special episode, Aaron's little brother Josiah joins to discuss 1979's science fiction horror masterpiece "Alien" directed by Ridley Scott and written by Dan O'Bannon. They talk about their personal experiences with the movie including their first exposure to it and what they take away from the film. They also get into how it helped contribute to the blockbuster zeitgeist, it's inspirations from "Dark Star" to "Star Wars," the insane pedigree of everyone involved in the film's making, Giger, sexual themes, franchise creation, and many many other aspects of the movie. Derek and Aaron still don't understand what they're dealing with. Josiah admires its purity.

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

But after President Roslin wakes up wet from one too many NyQil dreams, she hears Leoben out before returning to Commander Adama's position. What doesn't belong on a postage stamp? Where did H.R. Giger get all his ideas? Who definitely deserves a swirly?

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.
