Aaron Thorpe, co-host of The Trilbillies podcast comes back on the show to talk about Ridley Scott’s ALIEN (1979).

Hussein and Aaron talk about the impact the film had on sci fi horror and monster movies, the darkness and wetness that sets it apart from the more recent sequels, and why the film is actually about bureaucracies and how nobody wants to work in space. Plus, Aaron theorises how the Xenomorph and the cat may have been in cahoots.
