Alien Minute

Kyle and Genevieve return to talk about Ripley as caretaker, Carrie Henn's wonderful physical performance, and why Gorman won't be babysitting any time soon.

John and Kyle are again joined by Genevieve Koski to praise Carrie Henn, talk about James Cameron as a screenwriter, and wonder why anybody needed that much jewelry on LV-426.

Genevieve Koski and Kyle Crane are back again to primarily listen to John gush about Ripley grabbing a flashlight.

This week John is joined by guest-host Kyle Crane (Ghostbusters Minute, Jurassic Park Minute) and guest Genevieve Koski (The Next Picture Show Podcast) to talk about the deftly designed lead-up to Newt's reveal, why both the Director's Cut and the Theatrical Cut have merit, and Genevieve gives an astute reading of Newt and Ripley's burgeoning bond.

John and Jason finish out the week by discussing Gorman's cowardly cowering, wondering whether we've reached the limit of Ripley's reticence, and speculating on the nature of Hadley's Hope's medical personnel.

Sully returns for his final episode to talk about Burke's greed, the summer movie season of 1986, and we wonder about a Coen Bros. Alien movie.

Today, Sully is back to discuss Syd Mead, over the shoulder tracking shots, and how James Horner was like The Ramones.

Sully returns today to tell John and Jason about the first time he saw Aliens, talk about the value of character development v. backstory, and to assert that Sigourney Weaver should have won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 59th Academy Awards.

Paul Francis Sullivan from the Sully Baseball Podcast joins Jason and John (who sounds like he's talking from the inside of a cave) to discuss James Cameron's career arc, Paul Reiser as counter-casting, and the sense of reality relayed through the use of video footage.
