ALIENS

Ellen Ripley, adrift in space for half a century, is informed that the planet where her crew discovered the alien has since been settled by colonists. Contact with the colony has suddenly been lost, and a detachment of colonial marines is being sent to investigate. Invited along as an advisor, Ripley predicts disaster, and sure enough, the aliens have infested the colony, leaving a sole survivor, the young girl Newt. With the soldiers picked off one by one, a final all-female epic showdown brews between the alien queen and Ripley.

Alan and Craig talk about mothers and daughters, review the new Aliens: Covenant movie and discuss the classic James Cameron movie Aliens…on this week’s Matinee Heroes.
