Strap into your power loader and get ready for the ride of your life, because this week we're taking on James Cameron's ALIENS! One of the most influential action movies of all time, this film has an outsized impact on video games in particular, with more game adaptations than any other title we've covered so far! We narrowed it down to the 1990 arcade version and the 2011 Nintendo DS game ALIENS: INFESTATION! 

The ALIEN series gets down and dirty with the visionary, divisive sequel ALIEN 3, the directorial debut of David Fincher! This movie can be off-putting in it's nihilistic tone, but its also an admirably bold and effective movie that takes some really big swings. We'll also be talking about ALIEN 3: THE GAME on Super Nintendo, an action game with an interesting early open-world system and about four times the guns as the movie. 

Hosted by Steve Guntli, Jennifer "JBan" Bannister, and Justin Wilhelm
