13: Alien (1979)

from Motion Picture Pals · host Motion Picture Pals

You know it, you love it, it's the classic sci-fi horror mashup Alien, not to be confused with Aliens (1986) like at least one of us was. We learned the word "yonic," a companion word to "phallic," a word we end up using a lot in this discussion. And we discuss who the real monster is - is it the Xenomorph, or is it capitalism, the horrors of which are on full display aboard the Nostromo, and more relevant than ever in 2020? We will be holding a short film festival for our next episode. We are not sure which films we will be watching yet, but we know they will be good films because we are smart. Follow us on Twitter: @MotionPicPals Motion Picture Pals is co-hosted by Cam Call, Rebekah Markillie, Joel Aleman, and producer Travis Lien. Join the podcast Discord to get in on the discussions.
