Script to Scream by Will Whiting & Lee Bentley

Episode notes

This week Will and Lee tackle their most requested film, taking a deep dive into the seminal science fiction horror masterpiece - ALIEN!! The boys compare two versions of the script, the first from Dan O'Bannon and Ron Shussett and a later draft from Walter Hill and David Giler, and compare it to Ridley Scott's masterful finished film. The boys also look at the definitive Holy Shit Scene and ALIEN'S hugely influential female protagonist par excellence - Ellen Ripley. Buckle in for thrills, spills, Xenomorphs and Jonsey... and remember, in space no one can hear you scream!!!
