#070: (Pt. 1) Alien (1979) / Life (2017)
from The Next Picture Show · host Filmspotting
The new LIFE has come in for some pointed comparisons to Ridley Scott’s ALIEN, which seems like as good an excuse as any to revisit the unimpeachable 1979 space thriller. In this half of the conversation, we marvel at how a film so narratively economical can be so deliberately paced, and still manage to induce scares after multiple viewings. Plus, some feedback from our recent episodes on KONG: SKULL ISLAND and GET OUT.Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about ALIEN, LIFE, or both by sending an email to [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
