Alien 3 (1992)

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.
