0:00.0	After the success of Alien in 1979, producer Walter Hill was keen to develop
0:29.7	sequel. However, the Alien sequel got stuck in development hell for several years. Finally,
0:36.1	in the mid-80s, 20th Century Fox hired a man called James Cameron to write the screenplay
0:42.4	for the sequel. Up until this point, Cameron had achieved success in both the action and horror
0:48.8	genres, having written the screenplay for Rambo First Blood Part 2, directed the low-budget
0:54.8	monster movie sequel Piranha 2 and written and directed the dark sci-fi action thriller The Terminator.
1:05.2	As with the Terminator, Cameron blended horror and sci-fi with action for his Alien sequel.
1:16.3	This wasn't the small, creepy haunted house in space movie that the original was. This was bigger.
1:24.4	More explosive and more bombastic. The result was one of the most beloved and celebrated
1:36.3	sequels ever made. A movie that set the template for every horror, sci-fi and action sequel ever since.

2:42.0	sponsored by $20 Patreon subscriber Joe Oliver, and in this week's episode, as that intro suggested,
2:48.5	we're going to be talking about one film and one film only James Cameron's classic aliens from
2:55.2	1986. Game over, man. Okay, let's get straight into it. Lots to discuss. Joining me to discuss all
3:02.9	things Aliens, a long-time friend of this podcast. He's been here since series one. He's been on
3:08.3	the podcast before discussing such classics as Halloween and Evil Dead 2, and you might also know him
