Alien (1979)

from The Confused Breakfast · host Cloud10

The original Alien movie is easily explained by saying that it is Star Wars meets 2001 A Space Odyssey meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Basically, Jaws but in Space. And when you can garner comparisons of all of those movies, then it is no wonder why it won an Oscar and is the 51st highest rated movie on IMDB. The movie that made us all afraid of stomach aches. Does it still hold up? Does AJ think it is too spooky? Do we think about this movie every time we have a bad stomach ache? All this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:15 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:13:15- Critical and fan reviews •0:21:30 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:44:00- Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: ****Draft Kings- Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app and use code CONFUSED to get $250 in bonus bets when you bet just five bucks AND get one month of NFL+ Premium on us!
