In this weeks show we're watching the science fiction master piece Aliens by director James Cameron. Widely considered to be one of the greatest sequels of all time, and consequently having been ripped off by many many video games this film is not one to be missed. So remember in space no one can hear you scream!

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guests Connor & Pete (from the Podside Picnic scifi podcast) take on two very tonally different scifi dystopias with a double feature of James Cameron's ALIENS (1986) + Jean-Pierre Jeunet's DELICATESSEN (1991).

Wonders never cease in the Wasteland...nor do the horrors of that terrible day the Ptera-People attacked... I'm your host, David Snider, and joining me this week are fellow cinephiles Ryan Caldwell, newly christened co-host Michael Althouse, and special guest, coming to us from her hidden refuge in the store's air vents, Jackie. That's right; it turns out that Jackie was in the store the day the ptera-people began their onslaught, and unbeknownst to us, she took shelter in the air vents. Unfortunately, she became trapped, and spent a week up there all alone, foraging for food and futilely screaming for help at the oblivious staff below. Of course, we would have helped her sooner, but we couldn't hear her cries for help, as it's store policy to have a movie on at full volume at all times. Sorry about that, Jackie... Listen as we discuss the long reaching influence of James Cameron's Aliens; Chekhov's Dock Loader; and finally, we pit Ridley Scott and James Cameron against each other as we task Jackie on picking the superior xenomorph flick.

While it's true that James Cameron's Aliens (1986) has very little in common with Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers (1997) in tone, style, presentation, and possibly even genre, they do have similar stories: humans land on an unfriendly planet and are required to fend off waves of insectile alien creatures. But they may have more in common than that. Plus all the science! Steven and Scott cover alien biology, high-tech load-lifters, and full-scale outer space missile craziness.
For the first episode, Dave and Ash begin a season dedicated to science fiction with the Special Edition of James Cameron's Aliens. Follow us at facebook.com/squabblebox.

This week we return to our Year of the Knock Off by talking about one the high points of action and sci-fi cinema, James Cameron's Aliens from 1986, and then we look at 1989's Shocking Dark aka Terminator II aka Alinenators, an Italian film that dares to ask the question: What if we take scenes and dialogue from a much more popular film but shoot them on a budget of 7 dollars?
To celebrate 50 episodes we're heading back to where it all began, with the follow-up to Ridley Scott's classic Alien, James Cameron's Aliens. Starring Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, Aliens is often cited as the greatest sequel ever made, and continues to draw people into it's already pretty hefty cult following. But just what is it about this slightly cheesy, 80s action romp that has earned it such a cult following?
We talk about James Cameron's Aliens and The Predator on this one.
Josh Copeland returns to fill in for Quincy this week as he and Ryan dig into the brand-new HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT and also, by God, James Cameron's ALIENS. Also discussed are Instagram cenobites, the perfection of Sigourney Weaver, and interoffice Hell politics.
Titus & Pete Spiliakos discuss Blade I & II, focusing on class conflict & David S. Goyer's great writing in a Marxian tradition, as well as the pinnacle of Wesley Snipes's career as a working class black hero. We also get to Goyer's Dark city, to other Marxian awakening stories like the Roddy Piper movie They live & the Wachawski's Matrix, We also get to look at Guillermo del Toro's work on Blade II, which takes visual ideas from John McTiernan's Predator, James Cameron's Aliens, & Murnau's Nosferatu.
In some circles, James Cameron's Aliens is the best sequel of all time. Up next in our trek through 1986, Charlie leads us back to the place where no one can hear you scream.

In Ep#21 we discuss one of our favorite sequels, James Cameron's Aliens (1986). We also talk about one of our favorite actors, Bill Paxton. We pay tribute to his long and colorful career in the wake of his tragic passing last week. We then ask questions like, "Can you duck tape Cancer to AIDs and make a super disease?" We also explain, in painful nerd-filled detail, how a Predator becomes a ...man? A grown Predator. A man-Predator. We're not sure what to call it. We do all that while drinking two different craft beers. One from Long Trail Brewing Company and one from Boulevard Brewing Company.
Following on from last week, in which they talked about the films of 1986, Matt and Ed spend this week digging into two of the biggest hits of that year: Tony Scott's Top Gun and James Cameron's Aliens. In addition to talking about the influence that the two films had on the blockbuster format (whilst also being unlike most contemporary blockbusters), Matt reminisces about an unusual Top Gun-adjacent present, and Ed disparages his 14 year old self's taste in movies.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. People who grew up in the 1980's and loved those trips down the aisles of the VHS rental stores with their cool box covers lining the horror section were always looking for something new. Well, at the end of the decade, a highly marketed film with a very unusual and some ways silly title started being promoted. The 1988 film, Pumpkinhead, was a must see film for the horror fan. Getting a planned wide release, the film unfortunately was owned by a production company that was having major financial difficulties. So all the hype around the wide theater release kind of faded out. Didn't this just happen to Eli Roth's Green Inferno? Well, same thing. Either way, the film was co-written and directed by long time special effects icon, Stan Winston, who folks may know behind the dog kennel scene in John Carpenter's The Thing along with James Cameron's Aliens and even Predator, Terminator 2, and the Stephen Spielberg adaption of Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. Stan Winston, a four time Academy Award winner (and nominated 10 times) gives us, as the marketing campaign stated at the time, a grim fairy tale of a vengeful demon nicknamed Pumpkinhead for its oval shaped cranium. Dark Discussions, with the newly definitive release on blu-ray of the movie by Scream Factory, decides to take a stab at discussing this film with its huge cult following. Now 26 years later, the movie seems to be revisited every Halloween by genre fans. Starring Lance Henriksen in a heartbreaking performance of a father's loss of his young boy in a tragic accident, the film uses the slasher film mystique under the guise of a monster movie. But most interesting, the film in ways is a predecessor to the modern South Korean revenge films.

James Cameron's Aliens (1986) is a very different movie from its predecessor and we love the Director's Cut for slightly different reasons.
In this special edition of FOM, the guys review two classics: James Cameron's "Aliens" and John McTiernan's original "Predator". They then put themselves through the existential hell of having to choose which one is better. We'd write "spoiler alert", but I mean, c'mon...
A very special episode recorded live at the NWA Hollywood TV taping in Los Angeles, CA! The Curtain Jerks boys sit down with NWA Hollywood wrestlers Willie Mack, Scorpio Sky, "Pretty" Peter Avalon, Mikey O'Shea, Ray Rosas, the tag team of "Young Hollywood", NWA announcer Jonny Loquasto, and "Diva" Lucky O'Shea (who Brett thinks was staring at him all match long and Steve thinks the same thing). Plus Steve annoys everyone way talking way to much about James Cameron's "Aliens".
