Heads up – Tom messed up this week by recording on his in-built laptop mic rather than his swanky USB podcaster mic. As such, he was in two minds whether to release the first half of the podcast - but there was so much gold in there! So he made use of an hundred effects in Audacity and managed to get it mostly audible. If however you can’t stand it, skipping to about 30 minutes in will get you to the part where Tom rectified his mistake.
On this week's episode, the guys chat a whole host of off-topic crap – shootin’ guns, freedom and PIZZA; Blizzard, Assassin’s Creed and missing faces; Willem Dafoe, Pierce Brosnan and singing ABBA… everything that isn’t horror basically.
This week’s homework was of course, Ridley Scott’s almighty Alien. Chris’s popped cherry versus Tom’s familiarity and Matt’s directorial cut style advanced knowledge come together to give three different viewpoints on the film itself. We talk about the believability of the characters and their realistic dialogue and reactions to the horrific events of the original movie. We talk about the xenomorph and how it’s mystery adds immense tension to proceedings – something Covenant could stand to remember. Most importantly, we discuss the main character Jones, and the amount of his faeces that should be e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e on the Nostromo. Even before the self destruct was activated.
