Aliens (1986) | Using Forklifts Drunk at Work
from DeGen Cinema Podcast Hosted by Degen Cinema Podcast
Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay go extraterrestrial as they mostly talk 'Aliens'....mostly. Andy is the first one in the nest as he recalls the time he had a boozy lunch at work, and ended up using a power loader-type vehicle that ended in disaster. Then the fellas talk about one of the great movies of the '80s, and one that is among the pantheon of great sequels. Bolstered by James Cameron's maniacal attention to detail, the film has incredible world-building, not just with the xenomorphs and Weyland-Yutani Corp design, but his ability to flesh out characters. Of course, Sigourney Weaver cements herself as a bonafide bada** star, but she is surrounded by Michael Biehn and his loveable group of grunts. Toss in some all-time practical puppet and animatronic work with the aliens, and jaw-dropping action set pieces, and you have a classic. The boys pepper in some stories involving their times watching movies in the franchise — including a run-in with the cops as a teenager — and then it's game over man, game over.
