Alien 3 (1992) w/ Ben

This week on MoviePod we are discussing a film that I find so interesting that it inspired me to change to this format. I am joined by my great friend Ben to discuss Alien 3, also known as Alien³, or Alien Cubed. David Fincher directed this bleak and depressing film but disowned it after the studio interfered. An extended cut, known as the Assembly Cut, released in the early 2000s restored much of Fincher's vision.Alien 3 has a really troubled and fascinating history and it was a blast to dive in deep to see why people absolutely despise this film for killing off fan favourites while undestanding why people appreciate that bold choice.Heads up: there are some Game of Thrones season 3 spoilers in this episode. This movie does feature Tywin Lannister but the spoiler actually is not about him!You can follow me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠Letterboxd⁠.Please keep sending mail my way!
