Next Episode: Crimson Peak and the Lonely Hearts Killers: The horrors are for love

In this episode Chris and Christin are once again invaded by Brian. They all discuss (one of Chris's all time favorites) the 1979 classic Alien. Is it horror? Is it sci-fi? Is it...boring? (Christin only) They discuss the hotness of Tom Skeritt and where Sigourney Weaver got those tiny underwear. They also talk about the designs of HR Giger and how the movie Alien has become central to movie discussion and pop culture. Then we have another special guest! Elise comes on to once again show us that nature is more disturbing then any movie and talks about real parasites the Alien monster was based on. Grab your cat and get comfy in your pod!
