40 Years of Bad Road Part One: The Morality of Aliens

Part of the enduring appeal of Aliens is its complexity. For all its iconic dialogue and huge set pieces, Aliens is also a surprisingly nuanced and layered look at human morality. Would "dusting" Burke have been the morally right thing to do? Was Gorman a bad person, or just an incompetent one? Is an android's existence worth less than a human's? Join the whole team on this big ol' roundtable as they find their way through these (and many more!) moral quandaries. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.perfectorganism.com. // If you’d like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Building Better Worlds // To support the show, please consider visiting www.perfectorganism.com/support.
