On this episode we are talking about the 1979 sci-fi horror movie Alien starring Sigourney Weaver and a cat. Yes, a cat. Why a cat? We have no idea. 

In the year 2122 the crew of a mining ship, and a cat, are on a journey back to Earth when they are awakened from hyper-sleep by the ship's computer after it picks up a strange signal from a nearby planet. The crew is tasked to investigate the signal but find themselves in a fight their lives against a nightmarish organism. Don't worry, the cat survives. 

Listen as we talk about why 20 minutes of this movie could have been cut out without consequence but that this was a great start for the Alien franchise and had one of the most creative and scary movie monsters. We never figure out what there's a cat in space either. Enjoy!
