Sean is in the hot seat this week to watch the 1979 sci-fi classic Alien for the first time. But fear not, Alex and Edwin are there to peel off any facehuggers that get snagged in Sean's beard. We break down the scope of the movie, how they pulled this off in the 70's, and deep dive into the decisions that made Alien the heralded icon it remains to this day. 
So unlock your sleeping pods, top off your flamethrower tanks, and get ready for a thrill ride that'll burst right out of your chest!

Alien

Captive Audience is more than just a movie podcast. It taps into why we watch movies--to keep up with what's new in pop culture, to experience something for the first time, and to share that experience with friends and loved ones.
Captive Audience is a reaction video in podcast form with hosts Edwin Janes, Sean Roney, and Alex Ward. The unique format allows us to keep up with what's new, catch up on classics, and share films that are near and dear to our hearts. Movies can feel very solitary, especially if we're just watching Netflix at home. But at times the best parts of movies comes from sharing them with other people. It can be laughing in the theater with the rest of the audience, debating with friends, or simply asking, 'So, what did you think?' once the credits roll. This podcast gets at why we watch movies, and as cliche as it may sound, how shared experiences bring people together.

TV & Film

NOW PLAYING: The Fall Guy

This week we strap Sean into an unknown alien device and shoot him onto his couch to watch Contact, the 1997 hit based on Carl Sagan's novel of the same name. What would happen if another planet contacted us? How would we act? Which hunky pastor/writer akin to Matthew McConaughey could we turn too for answers? 
So turn up your radio telescope headphones, decipher 60,000 pages of data, and pop open a box of Cracker Jacks while we ponder these questions!

This week we head to a castle/high school for some Shakespeare in Seattle a.k.a. the 1999 rom-com classic 10 Things I Hate About You. Both Edwin and Alex are watching it for the first time, and - much like young high school love - it was a thrilling and wild ride. So grab your paint-filled water balloons, gas up the Toyota Tercel, and finish up your erotic novels while we dive into this iconic teen flick.

10 Things I Hate About You

Quick--hide the diamonds in that wheelchair cushion--this week we're watching Rumble in the Bronx! Sean's never seen this Jackie Chan classic, so we take a trip back to the 90s for an action-packed epic that definitely takes place in New York, and not Vancouver, BC. 
So put on your crispiest light wash jeans, order an ice cream, and hop on board the hovercraft for this week's movie and pod.

Rumble In the Bronx

This week we're joined by Peter Frick-Wright (host of the Outside Podcast), who sits down for a first viewing of 1991's Point Break starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. But wait, there's more! Alex, Sean, and Edwin are also watching the 2015 remake of Point Break for the first time - a movie that does definitely NOT star Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze. 
So grab your surfboard, put on your LBJ mask, and polish off a couple of meatball subs while we break down two versions of a crime/action classic.
