Summary

Paul & Amy invade 1986's James Cameron space action classic Aliens! They learn what this film had in common with Platoon, ask why the aliens feel less threatening here than they did in the first film, and try not to call Ripley 'badass.' Plus: Do the deleted scenes that give more backstory to Ripley help or hurt her character? Next week Unspooled's space series concludes with Apollo 13! You can join the conversation for this series on the Unspooled Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/unspooledpodcast, and on Paul’s Discord at https://discord.gg/ZwtygZGTa6.

0:54.5	and you said, you said we have to do Aliens and I was so happy that you said that because
1:00.2	I think that Aliens and Aliens are a conversation that need to be had together just like Godfather
1:05.8	and Godfather Part 2.
1:07.3	Because they work together, I think at least in the zeitgeist of pop culture as one film.

1:19.1	Well, I would say just like Boss Baby 1, Boss Baby 2 and the Boss Baby Netflix limited series,

1:28.2	What is that thing?
1:30.2	Oh, I've watched many of Boss Baby animated shows.
