0G32: Alien and The Corporation as Sociopath


Listen Later

This week we're breaking out the big guns, except not really because one of the greatest horror movies of all time ain't got no guns. Just some ineffective flamethrowers misused by some schluby rockhoppers. Best in class on all fronts, Alien! We're mixing it up with the 2003 cultural touchstone The Corporation. A book/movie about how corporate persons are functionally sociopaths. We attempt some pushback on that, which goes about as well as the pushback humans give in the corporation dominated Xenoverse. And if just one alien isn't enough nightmarish space rape for you, we're doing Aliens's next week. It's Thomas's first time, so lets all pressure him to liveblog it. While we're chatting, what sort of rock is worth carrying through alien infested space? Or is the mining thing all a clever ruse?! Okay, here's some links:

Recent appearances: Thomas is off at QED, appearing to British people or something. Aaron's going to be on an upcoming episode of Utah Outcasts, so keep an ear out for that. Help us out by convincing people they should totally have us on and then we can turn them into pod people like you. (I really try to make it worth it for the folks who read all the way to the end)
