Join the crew of the Nostromo (Ben & Sanjeev) and the Sulaco (Paul & Audrey) on a deep space quest for answers on which is best between Alien (1979 Dir. Ridley Scott) and Aliens (aka Alien$ 1986 Dir. James Cameron). We discuss nuance in the horror genre, miniatures/mattes, and dudes in suits. Is it more important to put in the foundational work as the original or "inspiration,” or for big "yes, and-ing," as the sequel? Dig deep for answers about Arcturean's with us, and a certain Mr. Steven S. Whether you prefer a haunted house, or a roller coster, in the end.....it's the riiiiiiidddddddeeeee
**Next episode we will return to our standard format**

Alien$ - Decades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.
