Alien | Ep 6

Facehuggers, chestbursters, and feline jump scares. This month, Austin and Big T discuss the 1979 sci-fi horror classic, Alien. We talk about how the film set the stage for the coming decades of the genre as well as what we think doesn’t hold up. We also explore larger concepts, like what it means to lose autonomy and when should we question authority. Plus, Austin answers the age-old question: what exactly is a robot brain made of?

So join us this week and tune in next month when we discuss Hunt for the Wilderpeople, the hit 2016 New Zealand film.

Episodes are released the first Monday of every month.
