Summary

On this extra special episode, Aaron's little brother Josiah joins to discuss 1979's science fiction horror masterpiece "Alien" directed by Ridley Scott and written by Dan O'Bannon. They talk about their personal experiences with the movie including their first exposure to it and what they take away from the film. They also get into how it helped contribute to the blockbuster zeitgeist, it's inspirations from "Dark Star" to "Star Wars," the insane pedigree of everyone involved in the film's making, Giger, sexual themes, franchise creation, and many many other aspects of the movie. Derek and Aaron still don't understand what they're dealing with. Josiah admires its purity.Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WatchIfYouDareWe are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio and CastBox.
