December 31, 2021097 - In space no one can hear you scream | Special Edition
Join us for another week of laughter, TV shows, streaming, movies and all things entertainment.
THIS WEEK
We're doing something a little different from the "usual agenda" here on the Half Measures Podcast. We're taking a look at the original four Alien movies, that's right marines, we're taking you back to 1979 where it all began:
Alien (1979) | Directed by Ridley Scott

Aliens (1989) | Directed by James Cameron

Alien 3 (1992) | Directed by David Fincher

Alien: Resurrection (1997) | Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Before listening to this weeks episode we highly recommend re-watching these classic action, horror, thriller movies. There's something in there for everyone. And if you enjoyed that, this episode pairs nicely with episode 073 of the Half Measures podcast where we also deep dive into the Alien prequals - Prometheus and Covenant.
Enjoy!
