Note sull'episodio
Welcome back to The Scarier Things Club! This week we're talking about Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) while drinking Nostromo Breakfast Lattes made with cereal milk. We revisit the chestburster scene, the Xenomorph's iconic debut, Ripley being the only person with any sense, and whether Alien deserves all the hype almost 50 years later.
Also: cheesecloth. Coke Freestyle machines. Breakfast cereal in space. Jesus on Mars. Jimmy Neutron’s misguided anatomy lesson. Somehow all of those things become relevant before we hand out the Dumbest Decision Award, play Smash or Pass, figure out who'd survive on the Nostromo, and decide if Alien officially joins the club. Grab a drink and come hang out.
