NERD! 40: Aliens (1986)

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff begin their season on Movies Dre Should've Seen by Now with the 1986 sci-fi action classic Aliens. Yes, you read that right: Dre hasn't seen Aliens!There's a lot to unpack about the sequel that created a franchise, so let's get our certified powerloader license, get on the express elevator to hell, and take off and nuke the site from orbit, as we tackle one of the most iconic sci-fi classics in cinema history that, against all odds, Dre hadn't seen until now.And, of course, don't forget to sign up at Patreon.com/jeffmay for early acces to shows like NERD!, exclusive episodes, bonus content, and so much more.
