Alien (1979) (with Jordan Seccareccia)

ALIEN. It's a classic, what can you say? Well that's a good question and we try to answer it with today's episode. Jordan Seccareccia joins us again to talk about just how good ALIEN is and how amazing it is that a group of talented artists came together at the exact right time to create an enduring sci-fi/horror masterpiece.

But first we babble on about less amazing stuff: the recent obnoxious Miami Vice film twitter discourse and Kevin Costner's vapid, vainglorious four-part(?) Western epic HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA - CHAPTER 1. Don't worry, we also talk about a good movie Edward Yang's TERRORIZERS and how Yang is one of the GOAT directors.

ALIEN talk starts about halfway through. Join us next week for one of the great sequels/franchise starters in cinema history ALIEN$
