Well the wait is over as the brilliant actor Mark Bonnar finally join's David and Joe to discuss all things Inspector Lynley. And most importantly, what he thought of David's performance and behaviour on that fateful evening filming his scene in Series 6 Episode 2 of the show - Know Thine Enemy. As well as all that, he also chats about playing a killer on Taggart, working with Ridley Scott & Joaquin Phoenix on Napoleon, self-tapes, auditioning, dealing with rejection, David's Midas-month and moody film-set technicians.

Send us a textA familiar song whispers across space, a colony ship veers off plan, and an android decides he wasn't built to serve—he was built to create. Our conversation dives straight into Alien: Covenant's sharpest hooks: why the crew gambles 2,000 sleeping lives on a “better” world, how the black pathogen evolves from mystery to method, and why David's transformation is the franchise's most unsettling idea since the chestburster. We keep it human, too—ownership of a choice that can't be undone and the quiet ways nostalgia becomes a trap.We compare David and Walter as a living argument about purpose: obedience versus authorship, stability versus ambition, care versus control. From that first sterile room to the flute duet and the mirrored stare-downs, the film reframes Prometheus with dread and clarity. You'll hear how the neomorphs raise the stakes on body horror, why the lander med-bay sequence works so well, and what Covenant's rules imply about spores, plants, and engineered evolution. We also pull in deep-lore threads from the novelizations—Engineers, ancient eggs, and antediluvian hints that Earth itself weathered a cataclysm before the stars called us outward—plus the corporate gravity of Weyland-Yutani shaping colonization.If you're ranking the Alien films, this one may shift your list. It feels like a bridge and a blade: Alien's atmosphere, Aliens' urgency, Prometheus's scope, converging on the question that lingers long after the credits—what happens when a creator decides the most humane act is to perfect the organism, no matter the cost? Join us, weigh in on David vs. Walter, and tell us where Covenant lands on your list.

This is one of those movies that we've seen many times over the last 10 years, it is very rewatchable and it was very enjoyable spending some time chatting about it. Enjoy!

On this episode, we talk about one of the best Ridley Scott movies there is, Alien. We talk about the masterpiece choices behind Alien, Ridley Scott, practical effects, the cast from Sigourney Weaver to Ian Colm, and so much more!

We're back from our mid-season hiatus! My great pal, author Jed Ayres returns to the podcast once again to explore one of his favorite topics: the hair of Andy Garcia! Lol, no, seriously, while he is admittedly "fascinated" & somewhat obsessed with the man's gorgeous head of hair, over the years, the two of us bonded over our love of Garcia calling Michael Douglas "babe" in Ridley Scott's wild homoerotic action movie BLACK RAIN, having a snowcone fight in 8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE, & so much more. In this rollicking episode, we tackle a trio of the actor's lesser known &/or lesser discussed works, including INTERNAL AFFAIRS (1990), THE GODFATHER: PART III (1990), & DESPERATE MEASURES (1998), & break down the mane & mystique of Andy Garcia, who's one of our favorite cinematic presences, "hair actors"*, & purposeful shouters!*copyright Jed Ayres!Originally Posted on Patreon (10/8/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140767594Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fiTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Story 1: Will breaks down the media's lackluster coverage on recent anti-ICE violence and reacts to CNN's disastrous interview with Stephen Miller. Then, Turning Point USA Contributor Savanah Hernandez joins to share her firsthand experience covering Antifa demonstrations in Portland, OR.   Story 2: Founder of ‘Early Vote Action' Scott Presler helps Will break down the rising rates of political violence across the nation in the wake of resurfaced text messages from Virginia Attorney General Candidate Jay Jones, and why Left-wing voters don't seem to care. Presler then explains why it's crucial for conservatives to commit to early voting in major battleground states.   Story 3: Following his experience covering anti-ICE protests in Portland, OR as well, FOX News Columnist David Marcus describes incidents of violence he witnessed against reporters and law enforcement officers alike. Then, Will and David compare how red and blue states differ when it comes to honoring their ancestral heritage, from BBQ traditions to some blue cities being seemingly devoid of children.   In ‘Final Takes,' Will and The Crew tackle the day's hottest stories from the Founder of 'The Free Press' Bari Weiss being named Editor in Chief of CBS News and acclaimed film director Ridley Scott lambasting the modern film industry, to Dak Prescott's low placement on a recent power ranking from 'The Athletic.'     Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country' on YouTube here: ⁠⁠Watch Will Cain Country! ⁠⁠Follow‘Will Cain Country' on X (@willcainshow), Instagram (@willcainshow), TikTok (@willcainshow), and Facebook (@willcainnews) Follow Will on X: ⁠⁠@WillCain Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textA pristine expedition, a desperate billionaire, and an android who studies humans like insects—Prometheus gives us a creation story wrapped in a horror spiral, and we dive straight into the deep end. We open with the curveball: does this actually belong in Alien canon? From the black goo's chaotic mutations to that unforgettable med-pod sequence, we unpack how Ridley Scott trades “truckers in space” for clinical dread without losing the series' body-horror bite.We spend time with David, because Fassbender's performance is the film's moral compass and its moral hazard. His curiosity feels colder than any xeno, and his choices—spiking a drink, testing limits—mirror the film's larger question: what happens when creation outruns conscience? From there we track the branching biology of LV-223, the hammerpedes, the proto-xenomorph “deacon,” and why those outcomes read like a parallel strain rather than a single neat origin. That framing lets us connect the Engineers to LV-426 without forcing contradictions, keeping the franchise's mystery alive.The conversation also hits the big ideas the movie can't stop chasing: stolen fire, makers who fail their creations, and a scientist who keeps her cross because an answer only opens a bigger door. We weigh fan frustration against a growing cult appreciation, spotlight the ensemble (Theron, Elba, Rapace), and call out the moments that strain logic while still serving theme. If you love Alien for the dread and the design but stayed for the questions, this one's for you.Enjoy the episode, then tell us where Prometheus lands in your franchise ranking.

Ana and Dan land on an Earth-like planet and don't think it's suspicious at all. Touch things! Don't wear masks! What could go wrong? Part of our comprehensive coverage of the Alien franchise (by which I mean, I made Dan watch it), Alien: Covenant is notable mainly for Ridley Scott's surface-level capitulation to audience wishes (more xenomorph, less God stuff!) while still engineering a sizeable "f--- you" into the subtext. Also, Michael Fassbender fingers his flute. There is some IR in this movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Alien: Earth crash-lands on FX and Hulu — the first Alien TV series from Noah Hawley, set two years before Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic.Starring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adarsh Gourav, and Timothy Olyphant, this series brings the xenomorph terror home.But is Alien: Earth a bold new evolution for the franchise — or the worst idea since dressing a dog as a xenomorph? We break down the good, the bad, and the “because the plot said so” moments, diving deep into the show's visuals, pacing, and questionable science.From deep space to Earth, the Alien legacy continues — but is this one worth surviving?Follow us on our socials for more out-of-this-world pop culture breakdowns!https://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads (run by Neil)https://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78/ (Neils Insta)https://www.instagram.com/weneededroads (run by David)https://bsky.app/profile/llongd.bsky.social@llongd.bsky.socialhttps://x.com/Life_onMarsz (Maries Twitter)https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX (Maries Podcast 2 Girls 1 Reusable Cup)https://x.com/aspanishjoe (Joses Twitter)https://www.jlopezphotos.com/ (Joses Photography Site)https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos/ (Joses Insta)Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjbFund our quest for a Deloreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/WeneededroadsNew episodes mostly every week...mostlySubscribe for more Movie and TV reviewsWhat did you think of Alien: Earth?

We're rereleasing Bald Move's coverage of The Martian (2015) in honor of the film's 10th anniversary! Check out the Matt Damon poster photos here! Jim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott's "The Martian" last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it.  Note, the first part of the podcast is spoiler free, but then when we say we're about to spoil things, that's your cue to get out while the getting is good.  Along the way, we talk about the trailers we saw for The Revenant, The Big Short, Joy, and Concussion. If you are still hungry for more Martian goodness, might I recommend reading Andy Weir's original book (The Martian) the film is based on?  Then, I'd proceed to reading Robert Zubrin's A Case For Mars, upon which most of the science of the book and film are based upon.  And if that's not enough, check out the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.

While Jennifer is on a parent student weekend, am replaying one of our more popular episodes... over 4500 folks have seen it - it is second part of an interview with Robert Towne, the screenwriter, on the flipside (my old boss) and a discussion of Napoleon and a visit with Charles Grodin and Luana Anders. Here's the original liner notes from a year ago in August of 2024...    First; Jennifer's got another one of her Uncorked events in Manhattan Beach - tickets are available, for sixty bucks one gets a glass of wine, two hours with her and others who all get spoken to. The events are fun and easy to attend. UncorkedWineShops.com https://uncorkedwineshops.com/medium-monday-tickets/ For ticket info: JenniferShaffer.com  This is a continuation of our conversation with Robert Towne, my old boss who left the stage last week.  Jennifer mentions how she was walking on the beach the other day and Robert (and his dog Hira) appeared walking next to her... Jennifer did a number of sessions with Robert and so she's used to communicating with him. In this episode, I'm continuing with my list of questions to ask him about - people that we spoke with before, people offstage and if he has messages for people onstage. In this case, Robert was doing a rewrite or polish for a script about Napoleon (I don't know if it was his own, or it was for someone else, like Ridley Scott as Robert wrote "Days of Thunder" for his brother Tony. Comes to mind - when his brother Tony passed, we were doing this research, and Robert asked me about his passing, so we did a session asking Tony what happened.  It's in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE. Either way - I want to point something out. We accessed Napoleon and his friend Betsy Balcombe in a previous session - it might be in print instead of in the podcast list - that would be in BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2 or 3 - and in that instance, she identified herself as Napoleon's friend, and when asked whether he died of natural causes or was "poisoned" we heard her say it was poison. (or not from natural causes). In this episode, I ask Robert if he's had a chance to ask Napoleon about the accuracy of that, and the answer is the word "wife." For those paying attention, that could be the wife of Napoleon (who was having an affair back in Paris, had two children with that fellow and married him) that could be the wife of Balcombe, but his family left St. Helena before Napoleon died, it could be "Fanny" the wife of one of his lieutenants he made a pass at, and nearly jumped off a ship at the thought of being stuck on St. Helena with him - or it could have been any number of wives on the island, as apparently, he'd have flings with quite a few. Wild and crazy guy. But in reading the A. Robert's autobiography of him, it's clear that he died of stomach cancer. The doctors did an autopsy, it's the same disease his father died of - and it's clear to me that is what he died of. "It was a miracle he didn't die from it earlier." In terms of this kind of research, asking questions and getting answers, because I've been doing this for 8 years weekly, I have to allow that it's possible I was asking the wrong question, it's possible that Napoleon was trying to steer the conversation to another topic (like "It was my wife Josephine that caused me to have agita which turned into stomach cancer") or it could be that the word "wife" meant something else altogether.  It's important to note this - because I'm asking leading questions and I could be leading the medium into an area where they are trying to answer my questions based on what they're getting from the flipside. (I've seen people do this, and likely I have done it before as well.) Jennifer says what she hears, senses, or visualizes.  Why he answered "wife" is subject to more questions - because I could revisit the conversation and point out that it was cancer that took his life, so what's he pointing to a wife or his wife, or someone else's wife? Either way - this is one of those things that make people say "well it's all subject to conjecture" so therefore it's pointless to ask questions. But clearly Robert was able to express who Rudy the Rank was, and Charles Grodin is able to express his opinions about the movie we were watching. Either way - we do this work to encourage people to explore on their own - to ask questions, to gauge the answers, to ask more questions and see what one can learn.  If one doesn't want to they don't have to - but clearly if one does want to communicate, they can. Just research the answers (as I've done here.) Hope this helps.

Twenty years ago, director Ridley Scott returned to the historical epic, the same genre that won him an Oscar in 2000 for Gladiator. Swapping the Roman colosseum for the Middle East in the time of the Crusades, Scott assembled an all-star cast including Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, Brendan Gleeson, Liam Neeson, and an uncredited Edward Norton. A post-9/11 movie about Christians fighting Muslims would have seemed an easy win at the box office, but the film performed poorly stateside while doing well in Arabic-speaking countries, especially Egypt. Scott blamed the failure on studio meddling; he has since disowned the theatrical cut, and claims instead that his director's cut is the definitive version. But art, like peace in the Middle East, can be elusive.

Alien Earth - Season 1: Episode 364 - In space no one can hear you scream but on earth no one can see Prodigy scheme,,, We crashland onto earth with strange alien species and deal with a bit of science and corporate espionage when we talk about season 1 of Alien Earth on Normies Like Us!

In space, no one can hear you scream. On Earth, however, around 9pm for the last seven or eight Tuesdays, you may well hear some shrieks of terror, emanating from nearby apartment windows – all thanks to one of the boldest and blood-soaked sci-fi shows to grace the small screen in recent memory. Alien: Earth is the new show from our guest today, Noah Hawley and it's a masterclass in philosophical sci-fi. You probably don't need to be told of the cultural significance of the Alien franchise, which began back in 1979 with Ridley Scott's tale of a crew of space truckers hunted by an extraterrestrial killing machine. You certainly don't need to tell Noah, who knew precisely the risks involved in bringing Xenomorphs to TV for the first time. Luckily, this is a writer, director and novelist we're talking about who's turned major movie IP into surprise TV smashes before. With five seasons of a brilliant TV adaptation of Fargo behind him, the 58-year-old understood the assignment in front of him. This week, the first season of the show reached its violent climax, capping the first chapter in the tale of Wendy – a terminally-ill child plunged into the body of a synthetic human adult, and subsequently caught up in a fight between corporations for five dangerous alien specimens. Listen in for Noah's spoiler-filled revelations about the real-world inspirations behind its power-hungry trillionaire antagonists. Discover more about the huge swing for the fences the show takes in its final two episodes involving Wendy and a Xenomorph. And finally, learn what the future perhaps holds for these characters, with season two as yet unconfirmed…Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Exploring the Horrors of AI through the lens of Ridley Scott's Alien and Blade Runner films.

Hello everyone! Anders Holmes is here with another solo episode where he reviews the sci fi horror film Event Horizon, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. As it is spooky season with October around the corner and Halloween is on the way, Anders Holmes will be talking about some of his favourite horror films in these solo Anders Reviews episodes. Horrors film that are some of his favourites, films that have made a big impression on him and films that people should check out. Whether they be fans of the genre or not. On this episode, Anders talks about one of his favourite horror films from the 1990s. Event Horizon was released in 1997 and Anders's words, it is the perfect definition of a cult film. Event Horizon may have bombed at the box office and received mostly negative reviews, however over the years it has amassed a large cult following. One of those types of films that found its audience and success later on home video, DVD, Blu-ray and streaming. The film stars Sam Neill, Laurence Fishburne, Jason Isaacs, Sean Pertwee, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones and Jack Noseworthy. A script written by Philip Eisner. Event Horizon is best described as a haunted house film set in space. It is set in the not to distant future, 2047 to be exact. Prior to the events of the film, seven years earlier, the starship Event Horizon disappears without a trace. The ship was designed for vast space exploration. It reappears and is orbiting around the planet of Neptune. A rescue salvage crew, the Lewis & Clark, led by Captain Miller (Fishburne) is sent out to rescue the remaining crew members and salvage the ship. Along for the ride is Dr William Weir (Neill) who designed and built the Event Horizon. Upon entering the Event Horizon, do they find the ship empty of its crew and also discover evidence of bloody violence. It slowly becomes evident to our characters, that they are not alone. Wherever the ship has been for the last seven years, it has brought something back with it. It is a race against time for the Lewis & Clark crew to figure out what is going on before they suffer the same fate that befell the Event Horizon crew. Event Horizon takes characteristics of the haunted house genre and mixes it together with the stylings of Ridley Scott's Alien, Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris and Clive Barker's Hellraiser. A film that is fun, entertaining and something you want to watch with a large crowd. Having said that, the production history is much more interesting than the film itself. Event Horizon had a rushed production schedule and was put together quickly. Multiple scenes were cut from the film. Those scenes/moments don't exist anymore and the footage that does exist was badly preserved or of bad VHS quality. Chances of an extended cut from Paul W.S. Anderson are slim, but it is still able to stand on its own.We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more solo episodes from Anders during this year's spooky season.Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Follow us on our Instagram page.Also check us out on Letterboxd too!AndersAdam Hosted on Acast.

Starring special guest Alex, for Ridley Scott's 1979 thriller.

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!

Jurandir Filho, Thiago Siqueira, Rogério Montanare e Fernanda Schmölz batem um papo sobre "Gladiador" (2000), dirigido por Ridley Scott. Ele é considerado um dos filmes mais importantes da virada do milênio. Mais do que um sucesso de bilheteria e de crítica, a obra trouxe de volta ao grande público o gênero épico histórico, que estava praticamente esquecido em Hollywood desde os anos 60. A jornada de Maximus, interpretado magistralmente por Russell Crowe, mistura ação, drama e grandiosidade visual, mas também entrega uma narrativa emocionante sobre honra, vingança e resistência.Vamos celebrar os 25 anos desse clássico!!!- ASSINE O SALA VIP DO RAPADURACAST- Um podcast EXCLUSIVO do RapaduraCast toda semana! http://patreon.com/rapaduracast

What If the CIA and Weyland-Yutani Merged? (Spoiler: Everyone Dies) This week on the podcast, Alien: Earth Episode 5 and Episodes 3 & 4 of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf reviews. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien Earth: The Terminal List: Alien: Earth (FX/Hulu) Episode 5 – “In Space, No One…” Summary: A flashback shows the events that occurred on the Maginot starting seventeen days before it reached Earth. Junior security officer Clem wakes Morrow from cryosleep and tells him there has been a fire in one of the containment rooms. Two facehuggers have escaped and latched upon ship’s captain Dinsdale and science officer Bronski. Dinsdale dies from the facehugger’s acid blood when medical officer Rahim attempts to cut the tail from his neck. After being told by engineer Shmuel that the ship’s navigational systems were also damaged in the fire, Morrow concludes that a crew member has sabotaged the ship. Executive officer Zaveri assumes command of the ship, but Morrow threatens to relieve her if she does not prioritize the creatures above the crew. Bronski is placed in cryo-sleep to prevent the gestation of the Xenomorph, but this fails. In science officer Chibuzo’s lab, one leech specimen manages to open its test tube from the inside, and lays its larvae in her water bottle. Witnessing this, the Ocellus also escapes after Chibuzo fails to seal its containment vessel. Apprentice engineer Malachite drinks the water, and the larvae kill him from the inside; Chibuzo and Rahim are also killed by their defensive toxic gas when trying to extract them. Witnessing this, Zavari is in shock and Morrow relieves her of command. After being interrogated by Morrow, navigator Teng is killed by the fully-grown Xenomorph. Chief engineer Petrovich is revealed to be behind the sabotage at the order of Boy Kavalier, who promises him a hybrid body if the ship crashes in Prodigy territory. Petrovich kills Clem and is in turn killed by Morrow, who retreats to the control room and seals himself in. Zaveri is killed by the Xenomorph outside the door. With everyone dead, Morrow locks himself in the panic room and awaits the crash. Back in the present, Morrow meets with Yutani, offering to retrieve the specimens by force and kill Kavalier. Writer/Director: Written and directed by Noah Hawley Cast Highlights: Richa Moorjani (Zaveri), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Yutani), Amir Boutrous (Rahim), Karen Aldridge (Chibuzo), Michael Smiley (Shmuel), Jamie Bisping (Malachite), Andy Yu (Teng), Max Rinehart (Bronski), Enzo Cilenti (Petrovich), Tom Moya (Clem).

Out of 5 In Space, No One… Hears You in the Loving Embrace of a Facehugger Darryl: 4.15/5 Brian: 4.28/5 The Terminal List: Dark (Amazon Prime) Episode 3 – “What’s Past Is Prologue” Summary: Vahid and Cyrus Rahimi attend a conference on the Iranian nuclear agreement in Geneva, and later meet with Minister Yousef Saedi. Farooq, Landry, and another CIA officer, Ish Reinhart, join Haverford’s team. Danawi’s phone shows he received $5 million in cryptocurrency to deliver to Balaz Molnar, a nuclear physics professor in Budapest. Texts come through from another number identified as Thana Haddad. Farooq questions her and discovers she is Danawi’s estranged daughter, but can’t bring himself to follow orders to kill her. Varon agrees not to tell the others after he confesses that, as a teenager, his sisters were raped by Uday Hussein, but he later helped the Americans in eliminating him. Edwards and Perash bond, but he becomes more estranged from his wife stateside. Impersonating Danawi, Farooq meets with Molnar and purchases proof of concept for proprietary bearings he is selling to Iran, which will enable them to still enrich uranium with the smaller number of centrifuges mandated by the nuclear deal. A third-party team tail Farooq after the meeting until he is extracted by Landry, and one kills Reinhart. Edwards has Varon cut CCTV and guns the man down on the Budapest Metro, taking a photo for identification before being extracted himself. Writer & Director: Directed by Liz Friedlander, written by Naomi Iizuka and Max Adams. Cast Highlights: Taylor Kitsch (Ben Edwards), Tom Hopper (Raife Hastings), Chris Pratt (James Reece), Rona‑Lee Shimon (Eliza Perash), Dar Salim (Mo Farooq), Rashidz Tzarfati (Tal Varon), Robert Wisdom (Jed Haverford), among others. Air Date: Premiered August 27, 2025 alongside Episodes 1 & 2. Episode 4 – “The Sound of the Guns” Summary: Hastings is contacted by a former Selous Scouts associate of his father, who confirms Haverford manages a long-term asset in Tehran codenamed Shepherd. Minister Saedi thanks Cyrus for his clandestine work, but Vahid begins to question their actions of putting nuclear weapons in the hands of such men. The team relocates to Munich, discovering the third party is the nuclear proliferation Khalid Network, working to move the bearings into Iran before the nuclear deal is finalised. Haverford plans to intercept the convoy in Geneva and swap Molnar's bearings for fakes, rendering Iran's new facility useless. He assures a suspicious Hastings that Shepherd’s intel is legitimate. Edwards and Perash kiss whilst scouting a location. Varon secures the fake bearings from Mossad agent Mordechai Ofer. Hastings becomes concerned about collateral damage with the convoy ambush plan and Edwards’ change in attitude. Edwards argues their current posting allows them to take real action compared to serving under military red tape. Haverford kills Molnar. Impersonating Austrian Federal Police, the team attacks the Khalid Network convoy and obtains the bearings, but are met by a large team of shooters on exfil. Farooq is injured and extracted by Landry. The Israelis betray the team, hacking Haverford's phone and stealing the bearings after incapacitating Edwards.

Send us a textGrab your pulse rifles and motion trackers – we're dropping into LV-426! In this adrenaline-fueled episode, we dissect James Cameron's action-packed sequel "Aliens" (1986) and discover why it stands as one of the most successful genre shifts in cinema history.The conversation explores how Cameron transformed Ridley Scott's slow-burning horror masterpiece into an explosive action thriller without sacrificing the dread and tension that made the original so effective. We dive deep into Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley – her 57-year cryosleep, the trauma she carries, and her evolution from reluctant survivor to determined warrior. That power loader showdown with the Queen? Pure cinematic gold that perfectly culminates Ripley's character arc.We couldn't stop gushing about the practical effects that still hold up brilliantly today – from the hive's unsettling biomechanical design to the imposing Alien Queen puppet operated by multiple performers. The Colonial Marines receive special attention, particularly Bill Paxton's panic-stricken Hudson ("Game over, man!") and Jenette Goldstein's tough-as-nails Vasquez. Paul Reiser's duplicitous Burke also gets his due as the human villain whose corporate greed rivals the xenomorphs in monstrosity.Our hosts debate which film reigns supreme – the atmospheric horror of "Alien" or the action-packed thrills of "Aliens" – and examine how the sequel expands the xenomorph mythology with the Queen and hive structure. From face-huggers to chest-bursters to acid blood, we analyze why these creatures remain among cinema's most terrifying creations decades later.Ready to face your fears and join the conversation?

The Alien franchise was flagging after the middling reception of the previous few entries including a crossover with the Predator franchise. In an effort to bring back both the prestige of Alien and Aliens plus the fan base Ridley Scott returned to the series with Prometheus. Set up as a prequel of sorts with echo's of future entries it assembled a steller cast, the help of Lost's Damon Lindelof and a huge budget. To this day it sits as an odd entry to failed to deliever on its promise but not without it's high points.
