E057 - Movie Date Night: Alien (1979)


Listen Later

Hello and welcome back to another sweaty episode of the 5 O'Clock Sweats Podcast!

In this week's episode, The Sweats are all back again to discuss Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic, 'Alien.' With the recent release and theatrical success of 'Alien: Romulus,' the guys thought it was a good time to watch the original to see how it holds up 45 years later. While Ryan has seen 'Alien' before, both Derick and Chris watched it for the first time in preparation for this discussion. During the episode, The Sweats discuss how the movie has aged, some of the reoccurring themes, how effective the scares still are, their favorite scenes, and what actor almost played the iconic Ripley instead of Sigourney Weaver. Did The Sweats admire this movie's purity? Tune in to find out!
