Alien (1979) | Ep. 8 - Part 2

Still no one to hear you scream. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story of Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror, turning to the people who built it and Ripley's desperate final stand.

We dig into the crew behind the film — Dan O'Bannon's screenplay, Jerry Goldsmith's troubled score, and H.R. Giger's nightmarish creature and production design — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the staggering legacy of the franchise it launched. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.

If you've not heard Part 1 — the Nostromo, Scott, the cast, and the middle — go back and start there.
