Today we talk about why Ripley turns her back on the Alien, why there's paper in the Narcissus, and how we really feel about the Alien suit.

We'll be guest-free this week though today we do take a voicemail from listener Eric Moore which prompts us to discuss model making, noxious gasses, and foggy visors.

Today we have Jon Niccum back to talk about complicated helmet designs, harpoon guns, and the history of Ripley's calming song.

Marya returns for one last show to go deep into the subject of Ripley's striptease, discuss how we feel about the big jump scare, and we go on a tangent about the myriad issues with film Twitter.

Marya E. Gates returns to talk with us about whether Ripley actually cares that much about Jones, the motivations behind Ripley's disrobing, and the lack of feminist cinema in the 70s.

Erin joins us one last time to discuss the cinema of 1979, more on "second" endings, and the concept of the final girl trope.

Today, Erin joins us again to talk a little about P.T. Anderson, a lot about Brian De Palma, and we say goodbye to the Commercial Towing Vessel Nostromo as it somehow explodes three times.
