ALIEN

Happy Alien Day! For 4/26 we wanted to make sure we celebrated the origins of the Alien franchise, so we're covering Ridley Scott's classic from 1979. In this episode, we basically just gush over how much we love the atmosphere, practical effects, and slow pacing - as well as drawing attention to some very notable 2001: A Space Odyssey comparisons. We're also drinking Founders Brewing Co.'s Easy Drinking Beer!
