Case and Sam are joined by DJ Nik to revivify some Xenomorphs! Overview In the latest episode of the Another Pass podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea, along with guest DJ Nik, delve into the complexities of "Alien Resurrection," the fourth installment of the renowned Alien franchise. They discuss the film's controversial elements, including its scientific plausibility, character dynamics, and Joss Whedon's unique screenplay style. The conversation highlights the film's shift towards a more campy tone and examines the visual aesthetics brought by director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, particularly the impressive underwater sequences. The hosts critique the character motivations and propose improvements, with Sam suggesting clearer intentions for the scientists and more depth for the space pirates, while Nick proposes focusing primarily on the scientists and Ripley in a more claustrophobic setting. Case adds ideas for restructuring the narrative arc to enhance suspense. The episode concludes with a tease for their next discussion covering "Highlander 2: The Quickening." Notes Introduction to Alien Resurrection Discussion (00:00 - 10:27) Case Aiken and Sam Alicea host Another Pass podcast with guest DJ Nik They're discussing Alien Resurrection, the fourth film in the Alien franchise Nik introduces himself as a host of multiple podcasts including Whiskey and Cigarettes Case positions this film as less respected than Alien 3, which he previously defended Nick describes his love for the franchise, noting the Xenomorph as 'the greatest creature ever created' He appreciates how each film in the franchise has different directors with different visual styles Sam admits she only watched the Alien films because of the podcast, as she's 'afraid of everything' Plot Elements and Science Issues (10:27 - 20:35) The group discusses the questionable science of cloning Ripley to harvest the alien inside her The movie is set 200 years after Alien 3, with Ripley having died in the previous film Sam suggests the genetic material might have been recovered like in Jurassic Park Case notes the first three films maintained scientific plausibility while this one stretches credibility The movie explores Ripley as a superhuman hybrid, shifting the franchise toward sci-fi adventure Nick points out that Sigourney Weaver was brought back as the flagship character Case questions the scientists' motives for bringing the aliens to Earth Characters and Crew Dynamic (20:35 - 30:37) The movie features a crew of space pirates rather than soldiers or workers as in previous films Sam notes the villain motivations aren't properly established, raising questions about their plans The group questions why the aliens are kept together in cells where they can conspire to escape Nick suggests this is due to 'human hubris' and scientists wanting to study their interactions The movie has a distinct 'Joss Whedon' style, as he wrote the screenplay Case appreciates the lived-in world aesthetic consistent with previous Alien films Sam praises the film's beautiful visuals and camera work despite her criticisms Alien Sequences and Visual Elements (30:38 - 39:45) The underwater sequence with aliens swimming is praised as visually impressive Sam notes the unrealistic breath-holding duration in the underwater scene The group appreciates creative kills and set pieces in the film They discuss how director Jean-Pierre Jeunet brought a different visual style The film is described as more campy than previous entries, closer to a slasher film in space The cast is discussed, with Michael Wincott as the captain and Ron Perlman as an abrasive character Winona Ryder is described as distractingly famous for her role as the android Call The Xenomorphs and Newborn Design (39:45 - 49:46) The aliens show intelligence when escaping their cells by sacrificing one of their own The group discusses the alien queen's live birth ability instead of egg-laying Case questions how this is an 'evolutionary upgrade' when it seems painful and inefficient The newborn hybrid alien design is praised as appropriately freaky and different The theme of motherhood continues from previous films in the franchise Nick points out how the newborn looks more human than regular xenomorphs Sam simply finds the newborn 'gross' and disturbing Improving the Film - Sam's Pitch (49:46 - 01:01:06) Sam suggests clarifying the scientists' motives early in the film She proposes establishing that the main goal is creating super-soldiers like Ripley Sam recommends making the pirates more likeable so viewers care when they die She suggests giving hints about Winona Ryder's character being an android earlier Sam recommends establishing a military base on Earth as the destination for the specimens For the underwater scene, she suggests allowing characters to surface for air occasionally She would keep the film's ending but focus on fixing the first act and character development Nick's Alternative Approach (01:01:06 - 01:10:07) Nick proposes eliminating the space pirates entirely He suggests focusing on scientists, Ripley, and Call (Winona Ryder's character) He recommends a more claustrophobic setting with military presence to explore ethics Nick suggests adding communication between the space station and Earth He proposes showing how Ripley's DNA was extracted to address audience questions Nick mentions that Joss Whedon's original script featured Newt instead of Ripley He wonders how the film might have been different if directed by Danny Boyle, who was approached first Case's Restructuring Proposal (01:10:08 - 01:18:51) Case suggests making the space pirates the focus of the first act, with Winona Ryder as the viewpoint character He proposes revealing Ripley later as a surprise, during the basketball scene He recommends establishing that scientists have been successfully cloning aliens already Case suggests the aliens should have been in captivity longer to justify their escape methods He likes keeping the back half of the movie mostly intact The hosts share that Sigourney Weaver actually made the backward basketball shot in one take They conclude by mentioning their next episode will cover Highlander 2: The Quickening
Je me demande quand viendra le temps où on dira "les années 20", comme on l'a tant entendu au XX° siècle. Et qu'en dira-t-on ? Ah c'est vrai qu'on parle déjà pas mal des années des années 2000. Elles commencent à dater, mine de rien, non ? Et on en garde de bons souvenirs. Tenez si je vous demande celui que vous gardez de ce clip où un jeune chanteur anglais se déshabillait puis plongeait dans la mer depuis une falaise ? Oui, You're beautiful, par James Blunt. L'idée est géniale. Un sol immaculé et un chanteur qui vous regarde dans les yeux. Il est vachement beau, hein. Mais nous les garçons, bizarrement, on ne le jalouse pas ; c'est pas un Bruel mais plutôt une version romantique de Jim Morrison. On a envie d'être son pote pendant qu'on le voit ôter le haut, ses baskets et ranger toutes ses affaires soigneusement devant lui. Tout ça sous une belle averse et un ciel bien couvert avec quelques oiseaux de mer qui tournent au-dessus de lui. Ah il est bien bâti ce James Blunt, il faut dire que c'est un ancien officier qui a quitté les rangs après avoir fait la guerre des Balkans. Et puis, il y a la musique, ça nous change de la pop dance avec tous ces artistes qui font à peu près la même chose. James Blunt, lui, il joue de la pop à l'ancienne qui n'est pas sans évoquer des Cat Stevens, les Doors avec, il faut bien le dire, une voix en or et un sacré physique. Et donc, on a tous avec le menton qui tombe sur le le sol quand à la fin du clip, ce bon James Blunt se jette dans la mer car voilà, astuce du réalisateur, on ne pouvait pas se rendre compte qu'elle est aussi loin, il n'en finit pas de tomber. On a le clip que le clip aavit été tourné sous la neige d'Ecosse par Jean-Pierre Jeunet, le réalisateur d'Amélie Poulain et de Alien, la résurrection mais il n'en est rien. Non, la vidéo a en réalité été tournée sur l'île de Majorque aux Baléares et s'il ne faisait pas aussi froid, c'était par contre, vachement haut. C'est ce que se dit James Blunt en voyant d'où il va devoir sauter. Non, je ne peux pas faire ça. Mais au vu de l'équipe réunie autour de lui et celle des plongeurs qui l'attend sous l'eau au cas où, il ne se dégonfle pas. Mais voilà, mauvaise nouvelle. La prise est ratée. James est obligé de remettre ça, il ose à nouveau mais s'ouvre la lèvre en touchant l'eau. La prise est bonne cette fois, le chanteur ne regrettera pas son acte héroïque car, comme il a eu l'occasion de le dire, sans cette vidéo, la tournée mondiale se serait résumée à celle du nord de Londres.

La réalisatrice française Anne Cutaia est notre invitée pour le docu. "Alien - Terreur sur grand écran", réalisé avec Sophie Peyrard, à voir sur arte.tv jusqu'au 29 mars. En 1979, Ridley Scott rebat les cartes du film de genre avec "Alien, le huitième passager". Retraçant sa genèse et les coulisses de son tournage, ce documentaire met en lumière les audaces artistiques qui en ont fait la matrice d'une franchise devenue culte. À la fin des années 1970, encouragée par le succès des Dents de la mer et de La guerre des étoiles, 20th Century Fox produit Alien, le huitième passager. La réalisation est confiée à Ridley Scott, un Britannique venu de la publicité et auréolé à Cannes du prix de la première œuvre pour Les duellistes en 1977. Conjuguant science-fiction et horreur, le film met en scène l'équipage d'un cargo spatial aux prises avec une monstrueuse créature extraterrestre, conçue par le plasticien Hans Ruedi Giger. Plongés dans le huis clos du Nostromo, leur vaisseau sombre et suintant l'humidité, ses personnages – deux femmes, un Noir et quatre Blancs, dont un androïde – sont des gens ordinaires qui vont devoir mener un combat inégal pour survivre. Propulsée au premier plan, Sigourney Weaver, une débutante de 29 ans formée sur les planches à Broadway, devient la première figure féminine forte à redéfinir les conventions du genre, loin des clichés de l'époque. Sa performance et le succès mondial remporté par le film ouvriront la voie à plusieurs suites et préquels, dirigés successivement par James Cameron, David Fincher, Jean-Pierre Jeunet et Ridley Scott encore.

Sébastien Salamand, alias Le Turk, est un photographe français au talent à la fois immense et incomparable. Réalisateur et illustrateur, il nous embarque dans des univers intenses, mêlant le burlesque, l'émotion et le vrai. Toujours le vrai. Sa marque de fabrique. Et pourtant, rien ne destinait Le Turk à embrasser ce métier comme il le confie au micro de Deftom. En effet, il a toujours dessiné, puis a été attiré par la vidéo. Cette envie de créativité a, un jour, croisé le chemin de la photo quand Sébastien a été invité à des séances dans un studio alors qu'il dirigeait un centre culturel. L'immédiateté de cet art l'a séduit et il s'en est servi pour ses narrations en mêlant dessin et cinéma dans ses clichés. Voilà comment est né Le Turk, photographe, réalisateur et illustrateur de génie. Et ce génie s'exprime grâce à ses inspirations, principalement issues des années 80 et 90 avec la BD franco-belge, Tim Burton, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Tintin, les Comics ou encore Mickaël Jackson : « un bouillon étrange où mijotent des tas de choses apparemment inconciliables et qu'on parvient à mélanger. C'est ça la création », précise-t-il. Mais les œuvres photographiques de Sébastien sont également imprégnées par ses sujets de prédilection, ses « obsessions », et beaucoup transpirent d'ailleurs dans ses créations : l'histoire de France, le passé, la nostalgie, les passions humaines, le tragi-comique ou encore l'effet du temps sur les choses. Tous ces ingrédients donnent vie à des photographies tout droit sorties d'une autre dimension, riches en émotions, en burlesque, avec un ton très italien propre à la commedia dell'arte, en personnages à la fois caricaturaux et hauts en couleur mais qui vous captent le cœur tant les émotions sont palpables. Dans cet univers génial de créativité, tout paraît ainsi interprétable d'emblée, sans avoir besoin de deviner et selon Le Turk, c'est la base d'une œuvre d'art : cette dernière « ne s'explique pas. L'art doit plaire au plus grand nombre » sans avoir à triturer l'esprit ; pour les spectateurs, cela doit être simple. Même s'il explique sa manière de travailler, Sébastien considère qu'« un artite est étranger à son œuvre. Si tu t'es bien débrouillé, ce que tu as produit te dépasse ». La création est une impulsion mais une impulsion qui reste malgré tout contrôlée puisque le cadre et l'ambiance jouent un rôle clé dans la réalisation de chaque photo. Tout dépend du décor que Le Turk conçoit, qu'il peut faire évoluer au fil des projets et même au cours de shooting sur les plateaux. Au moment de faire la photo, il sait que l'idée première est bien là et il la fige. Fasciné par le cinéma, les maquettes, le faux, l'artifice, Le Turk crée, avec une précision chirurgicale, des œuvres terriblement vraies : il émerveille les gens avec de vrais accessoires, de vrais personnages et de vrais effets visuels pratiques. Et de son propre aveu, « ce qui compte dans l'image, c'est de l'avoir faite en vrai... il y a un cœur qui bat ». En somme, ren ne vaut la création humaine. Ambassadeur Canon, le photographe, réalisateur, illustrateur, qui sort sa première BD à l'horizon 2026, espère juste que la grâce de Dieu ne le quitte pas… Touché lui-même par la grâce, rien ne peut donc le quitter, sans oublier ce désir fou de faire de l'image... Découvrez les oeuvres de Le Turk sur sa boutique en ligne et les projets réalisés avec son épouse, Laura David, sur le site usineamerveilles.com Retrouvez Deftom sur : https://www.deftom.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@deftom

On our third Movie Night Dystopia episode, Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes, and Kt Baldassaro talk to filmmaker Jared Skolnick about Marc Caro & Jean-Pierre Jeunet's the City of Lost Children. The City of Lost Children is a fairy tale like surrealist black comedy about a mad scientist who kidnaps orphans in order to steal their dreams. Two years ago, on Movie Night Apocalypse, we talked to Jared and Kt about Caro-Jeunet's earlier film Delicatessen. The City of Lost Children stars Ron Perlman, who learned literally just enough French to say his lines, as well as Dominique Pinon, Daniel Emilfork, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, Cemetery Man's François Hadji-Lazaro, and Judith Vittet. #ronperlman #french #frenchcinema #surrealism #dreams #jeanpierre #marccaro #jeanpierrejeunet #amelie #filmpodcast #moviepodcast #horrormoviepodcast #cinema #frenchmovie #dystopian Jared's latest project is WOODFELLAS: While traveling to the countryside to 'deal with' an informant, three Boston mobsters run afoul of a murderous woodland cult.

"Inspiré de faits réels" de Franck Istasse : Le film culte de Jean-Pierre Jeunet sorti en 2001 : « Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain ». Un film fantasque et plein de rêveries qui est le plus personnel de Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Il s'est inspiré pour le scénario d'énormément de petites choses, d'anecdotes, qu'il a réellement vécues et qui l'ont touché tout au long de sa vie. Et précisément « l'inconnu du photomaton » qui s'inspire de Michel Folco, un écrivain français qui, dans les années 80, collectionnait les photos abandonnées dans les photomatons.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, recorded at the IT Press Tour in Malta, I am joined by Antoine Simkin, co-founder of Digi Film Corporation. Antoine Simkine is also the lead producer and managing director of the Paris-based Les Films d'Antoine, which was founded in 2004. He was also the executive producer of the VFX of about one hundred feature films such as “The City of Lost Children”, “Amelie”, “Alien Resurrection” by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, “The Ninth Gate” by Roman Polanski, “Ronin” by John Frankenheimer, “Joan of Arc” by Luc Besson, and “The Man Who Cried” by Sally Potter. Antoine Simkine has then worked for 20th Century Fox as VFX producer during the final phase of development of “I Robot” by Alex Proyas. With a unique background in cinema and digital visual effects, Antoine brings a fascinating perspective on the challenges and solutions for long-term data preservation in our rapidly evolving digital age. Antoine shares his journey from pioneering digital visual effects in the 1980s and 90s to tackling one of the industry's most pressing issues: the longevity of digital data. Reflecting on his experience working with formats like Sony DIR and DTF tapes, he highlights the challenges of data migration, evolving standards, and the risks of losing critical digital assets. His work with Digifilm Corporation introduces an innovative approach to solving these problems by blending the permanence of film with the precision of digital encoding. We explore how Digifilm's Archifix solution offers a robust alternative to traditional storage methods, ensuring data preservation for decades, if not centuries. Antoine provides insight into the diverse applications of this technology, from the cinematic world to industries such as nuclear power, defense, and architecture, where the need for secure, offline data storage is paramount. As data volumes grow exponentially and regulations around data integrity and security tighten, Antoine's vision for the future of Digifilm highlights the critical importance of balancing technological advancements with sustainable, long-term preservation strategies. Could this approach be the missing piece in solving the global data storage puzzle? What role could Digifilm play in securing our digital heritage for future generations? Listen, reflect, and join the conversation. Learn more at https://digifilm-corp.com/home

Paolo Riberi, Giancarlo Genta"I segreti di Alien"Gnosi, orrore cosmico, scienza e IA nella saga degli XenomorfiMimesis Edizioniwww.mimesisedizioni.itNato dalla geniale sceneggiatura di Dan O'Bannon e Ron Shusett e dagli incubi dell'artista svizzero Hans Ruedi Giger, nel 1979 Alien consacrò il talento di un giovanissimo Ridley Scott. Diversi decenni dopo, tra sequel, prequel e crossover, possiamo osservare la nascita e lo sviluppo di una saga variegata e poliedrica, nel corso della quale si sono avvicendati registi di prestigio come James Cameron, David Fincher, Jean-Pierre Jeunet e Fede Álvarez.Ripercorrendo l'intera storia del ciclo di Alien, il volume ne esplora i retroscena, scrutando a ritroso nelle influenze e nelle fonti che hanno dato vita al terrificante e affascinante universo abitato dallo Xenomorfo: dai vangeli gnostici all'orrore cosmico di H.P. Lovecraft, dal femminino sacro ai viaggi interstellari e all'intelligenza artificiale, passando per l'alchimia, le scoperte di Darwin e la terraformazione.Tra religione, storia, politica, scienza e tecnologia, una guida indispensabile per addentrarsi fin negli angoli più remoti della galassia, ma da sfogliare con cautela perché “nello spazio nessuno può sentirti urlare”.Paolo Riberi è laureato in Filologia e letterature dell'antichità e in Economia presso l'Università degli Studi di Torino. Funzionario pubblico, collaboratore giornalistico, studioso di storia antica e letteratura delle origini cristiane, è anche membro della Società Italiana di Storia delle Religioni (SISR). È autore di vari saggi dedicati al mondo dei vangeli apocrifi e alla simbologia nel cinema contemporaneo. Per Mimesis ha pubblicato: Abraxas: la magia del tamburo (con I. Caputo, 2021) e I segreti di Dune (con G.

È autore di numerosi testi di formazione, di articoli e di volumi sull'esplorazione spaziale e il programma Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). È inoltre autore di sei romanzi di fantascienza tradotti anche in inglese: Le porte dell'inferno (2018), Le rosse cupole di Acheron (2019), La frontiera (2021), Il cacciatore (2012), Oltre la frontiera (2022) e Gli alieni perduti (2022).

Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney and Jess Dunne, this week with special guests Diamanda Hagan, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This week, Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Alien: Resurrection. In the distant future, the terror of the xenomorph is nothing but a distant memory. The company has faded into history. However, on a ship at the extreme reaches of known space, the government is conducting cloning experiments in the hope of resurrecting Ellen Ripley. However, these scientists are much more interested in the creature she carries inside of her, which is now part of her DNA. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
My guest today is a French film director and pioneer in the world of digital imaging. Born in Paris, he studied architecture and medicine at university before joining the film industry. He co-founded Duran Duboi, a postproduction house that created visual effects for music videos by artists including Prince, Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, and Boy George.As a VFX pioneer, he formed a close collaboration with the director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, with whom he worked on the feature films “Delicatessen”, “City of Lost Children”, and “Alien: Resurrection”. In 2001 my guest made his directorial debut with “Vidocq”, which holds the Guinness World Record as the world's first all-HD movie, released ahead of 'Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones'.Two years later, he directed “Catwoman” starring Halle Berry in the lead role. Since then, my guest has produced more than a dozen films and, in 2019, co-founded the VR company 6th Sense VR, which specialises in culture and well-being. Be attitude for gains. https://plus.acast.com/s/my-perfect-console. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Az adás vendége Pető Kata színésznő, aki a jelenleg a mozikban futó Egy százalék indián című Hajdu Szabolcs-film egyik főszereplője, illetve látható mostanában a MILF című frenetikus előadásban is, amelyben élettársával, Rohonyi Barnabással játszik együtt. Ezeken kívül beszélgettünk még: A nagypapájáról, Szőnyi Ferenc operaénekesről, és a nagymamájáról Szőnyi Kláráról, aki olyan legendás filmeket fordított magyarra, mint a Híd a Kwai folyón, A hét szamuráj, a Szédülés, az Álom luxuskivitelben, a Francia kapcsolat, a Száll a kakukk fészkére, a Házibuli, az E.T. - A földönkívüli vagy az Amerikába jöttem. Igen, Pető Kata nagymamája fejéből pattant ki az a mondat, hogy “A királyi hímvessző tiszta, felség!” Eddie Redmayne-ről, akivel együtt forgatott tíz évvel ezelőtt (a Madárdal című minisorozatban) és most nyáron is (A sakál napja című minisorozatban). Vajon az Oscarja előtt vagy után volt jobb fej? A nélkülözésről és a szabadúszó színészlét egyéb velejáróiról. Robert Pattinsonról, akivel a The Childhood of a Leader című filmben szerepelt együtt. A nagy korkülönbségről a párkapcsolatában (18 évvel idősebb a szerelménél). Bodó Viktorról, akinek már a legelső rendezéseiben is szerepelt, majd tag volt a társulatában (Szputnyik Hajózási Társaság), viszont már évek óta nem beszélnek egymással. A doktori disszertációjáról, aminek a címe: Az Erőszakmentes Kommunikáció integrálása a Színház- és Filmművészeti Egyetem színész és rendező oktatásába. Illetve az elcseszett magyar #metoo-ról. A jelmeztervezésről, amivel mostanában legalább annyit foglalkozik, mint a színészkedéssel. Arról az esetről, amikor Jean-Pierre Jeunet felfigyelt rá. A hajáról, amit valamiért soha nem vágatott le. Ha a kikerülése napján hallgatod ezt az adást, akkor Pető Kata negyvenötödik születésnapján hallgatod. Jó szórakozást az adáshoz, és ha tetszik, kérlek támogasd a Filmklub podcastot a Patreonon, egy dollár is nagy segítség! Ha a Patreon túl macerás, támogathatod a podcastot a PayPalon (@ferencv1976) vagy a Revoluton (@ferenc7drh) keresztül is. Nagyon köszönöm!

Send us a textAs we blast off into our 4th Season here at Fabulous Film and Friends, and with the recent release of Alien Romulus, we thought it only fitting to take a look at ALL the Alien movies, minus the execrable Alien v. Predator films, starting with 1979's Alien directed by Ridley Scott and starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Harry Dean Stanton, Yaphett Koto, John Hurt, Veronica Cartright and Ian Holm followed by 1986's Aliens, directed by James Cameron and starring Sigourney Weaver again, joined by Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton, Lance Henrickson, Carrie Ann Henn, William Hope, Jeanette Goldstein, Mark Rolston Al Matthews, and Paul Reiser. Then we get 1992's Alien 3 directed by David Fincer, starring Weaver once again, with Charles S. Dutton, Charles Dance, Ralph Brown, Pete Postelwaite, Brian Glover, Holt MccAllany, Lance Henrickson and a veritable slew of bald British day players yelling, "You bloody wanker!" Then there's 1997's Alien Resurrection directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet starring Ms. Weaver, Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Dan Hedaya, Brad Dourif, JE Freeman, Kim Flowers Gary Dourdan, Dominique Pinon and Michael Wincott. Then there's a long break in the actual franchise with the aforementioned cash-grabs Alien v. Predator films thrown in the mix and the series starts up again in earnest with 2012's Ridley Scott directed prequel Prometheus starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall Green, Sean Harris, Rafe Spall, and Guy Pierce. In 2017 we're treated to Alien Covenant, once again directed by Ridley Scott starring Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Cruddup, Danny McBride, Callie Hernandez, Carmen Ejogo, Guy Pearce, everybody's favorite prankster, Jussie Smollet and blink and you'll miss them cameos by Noomi Rapace and James Franco. Which leads us to 2024's Alien Romulus directed by Fede Alvarez and starring Callie Spaeny, David Jonsson, Isabella Merced, Archie Renaux, Aileen Wu, Spike Fearn and a posthumus Ian Holm. I'm your host Gino Caputi and the guests today are Burton Brown, David Johnson, DMD, Joe Field. With seven movies to cover we're going to get right into it, with one synopsis. Alien movies started off about a crew of space miners serving on the enormous mining vessel the Nostromo who while in cryosleep on their return to Earth with their minerals and ore in tow, are given orders to stop on the planet LV-426 to investigate a distress signal coming from a derelict spacecraft. While investigating the phenomena the crew inadvertently bring an alien on board their vessel. The Alien picks off the crew one by one and it is only warrant officer Ripley who survives by destroying the Nostromo and ultimately shooting the alien out into space. An internet meme sums it up thusly:Alien 1 - A team of miners faces an AlienAliens - A team of marines faces a lot of AliensAlien 3 - A group of convicts faces one AlienAlien Resurrection - A team of pirates face 5 AliensPrometheus - A team of scientists inadvertently create the AlienAlien Covenant - A team of colonists face a a lot of AliensAlien Romulus - A team of babyfaced Gen Z 'ers face a lot of AliensWhich is Queen of the Hive?

All this plus voicemails, heat chat and so many traditional revelations! Direct Donloyd here. Go listen to the Bookhouse Boys after this!
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
The Alien franchise. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Alien (1979) and Alien: Romulus (2024), as well as Aliens (1986), Alien³ (1992), Alien: Resurrection (1997), Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017). Our conversation dips in and out of all these films, praising and critiquing the work of directors Ridley Scott, Fede Alvarez, James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. We praise the performances of Sigourney Weaver, Ian Holm, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, Winona Ryder, Michael Fassbender, Cailee Spaeny, David Johnson and Spike Fearn. We consider the human-android-alien-company relationships throughout all the films, with Ripley, Ash, Bishop, Call, David, Walter, Andy and Rook. We celebrate the production design of the original and new film, and how the latest entry into the franchise harks back to its predecessors. We discuss the lore of the Alien franchise, considering the stages of the titular monster through the queen, egg, face-hugger, chest-burster, xenomorph, "The Newborn" alien hybrid, black goo and now cocoon and "The Offspring". We discuss our predictions of where the Alien franchise might go from here.
We've hit the midway point in our Alien franchise retrospective with Jean-Pierre Jeunet's, Alien Resurrection (1997). While more visually exciting than Alien3, it's a bit of a mess. Starring Winona Ryder, Dan Hadeya, Brad Douriff, Michael Wincott, and a very reluctant Sigourney Weaver - who said she signed on after the dump truck of money was backed onto her lawn.

Ben and Rob smash the vat of ‘Alien Resurrection' as they birth the latest episode of their series covering every ‘Alien' movie ever! Released in 1997, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, written by Joss Whedon, and starring Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder, ‘Alien Resurrection' was a critical and commercial failure, but still represents a significant part of the franchise's history and canon. Ripley 8, a human-alien hybrid clone, is reborn 200 years after the events of Alien 3 aboard the spaceship Auriga, along with space pirates and biology nerds. But what on earth were Fox thinking by hiring a famed French arthouse director and pairing him up with the writer of Buffy The Vampire Slayer? How on earth did they convince Sigourney Weaver to play the sci-fi icon Ellen Ripley for one more film? And will Fede Alvarez save us all when he releases the upcoming Alien ‘Romulus'? CONSUUUME to find out all of this and much, MUCH more....PLUS!

200 years after ALIEN 3 Brad Dourif clones Sigourney Weaver to extract an alien from her tummy. Thus sets the stage for the wackiest, goopiest, frenchiest ALIEN film yet. Revered French clown Jean-Pierre Jeunet directs and megahack Joss Whedon writes the cringe dialogue. Our good buddy and comedian extraordinaire Joel Edmiston joins us again to talk about one of his favourite films in the ALIEN franchise, ALIEN RESURRECTION. Before we get down to business we also talk about the big new summer release, DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE. Why did we see it? We saw it for you. To make content for you. Remember that. Alex talks LONGLEGS while Joel talks THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY & BULLWINKLE.ALIEN RESURRECTION talk starts around 49 minutes. Enjoy!Join us next week for the return of Midley Ridley Scott and his ponderous big ideas prequel PROMETHEUS. Are the boys PRO-METHEUS or ANTI-METHEUS? Well I'm sure you can probably guess but still, you'll have to listen to find out!Follow us @thefranchisees on Instagram and Twitter and email us at thefranchiseespod@gmail.com
ALIEN 3, from the twisted mind of David Fincher...? Well no, not really. From the twisted minds of 20th Century Fox more like it. And we're all worse off because of it! ALIEN 3 is a really interesting movie with a fascinatingly flawed production history. While Alex and Ben didn't particularly like it, they definitely recommend you watch it and then watch the epic making of documentary found in its true and complete form only on the blu-ray, WRECKAGE AND RAGE: THE MAKING OF ALIEN 3.Before we talk about the film this week we have to catch up on what is really old news at this point: the assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump. The FBI, the CIA, even CSIS have all been knocking on our podcast studio door trying to get us to explain why the failed assassin was a devoted listener to the show... unfortunately we don't have the answers but we do have a message of unity that we think will heal the divided nation of America. We also talk about other films we've watched recently such as NOWHERE, GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE, LAST SUMMER, LONGLEGS, and THE BIKERIDERS.We start the ALIEN 3 talk around 40 minutes in. Enjoy!Join us next week for a little trip to France... Space France that is - it's Jean-Pierre Jeunet's silly, gory, and sort of good(?) fourth film in the ALIEN franchise, ALIEN RESURRECTION.

“This is the goopiest movie of all time!” - Steve On this episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza heads to space as we chat about the better-than-Andrew-remembered sci-fi sequel, Alien: Resurrection! How fantastic is Sigourney in this one? Shouldn't Brad Dourif's evil scientist have tried to train just one Xenomorph at a time instead of a Baker's Dozen from the jump? Shouldn't we have seen the initial pirate heist of these hyper-sleep people? Why couldn't Christie have just shaken that dead alien off his boot? How great is that basketball shot? And how fabulous are all these gloopy, soupy, alien puppets?! PLUS: The guys come up with another great sci-fi horror pitch for the new film, Werewolf Astronaut! Alien: Resurrection stars Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Dominique Pinon, Ron Perlman, Gary Dourdan, Michael Wincott, Kim Flowers, J.E.

Recorded on Easter Sunday, the boys celebrate the second (fourth?) coming of our lord and savior Ellen Ripley played by the amazing Sigourney Weaver. Directed by french film director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, this fourth installment in the Alien franchise goes turbo mode when Weaver and Ryder team up to escape a military research station swarmed with xenomorphs.
On this week's show, we watched 1997's Alien: Resurrection starring Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Brad Dourif, and Raymond Cruz. From director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, this next installment to the Alien franchise features an entirely new version of Ripley, a lot of aliens, interstellar mercenaries, a bumbling military, and some mad scientists. Toss in a dash of pretty solid FX, plot inconstancies, a few chuckles, and cringey dialog, and you've got the makings of a big budget, cult classic. Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

Nothing Left to Say: John-Pierre Jeunet's Alien Resurrection Closing in on the end of the month brings us to the end of the original Alien franchise. 1997s Alien Resurrection is a ridiculous mess of a film that is a final disappointing period to one of the greatest Horror/Sci-Fi franchises in the history of cinema. From a script by Joss Whedon and direction from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Alien Ressurrection badly fumbles the beauty, intensity, and legacy of the first two films and the potential of what the third film should (and could) have been. There's a whole lot to get out in this discussion. We hope that you listen with an open mind and an understanding of our mutual disappointment in the final curtain call of Lieutenant First Class, Ellen Louise Ripley. She deserved better. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com. We continue to look to you good and loyal listeners for support. If you have listened and enjoyed our bantering over these nearly eight years please feel free to support us with a monetary contribution. We're not asking for a whole lot.
