Welcome to part one of our discussion of one of the greatest movies in both the sci-fi and horror genres, 1979’s Alien. Here we tackle recasting every role in the movie (except the cat), and propose an alternate director as well. Along the way we share our favorite cinematic aliens, how distress beacons are never ever something low maintenance, sweating sour milk, and discuss our dissatisfaction with the bonus situation.
