Aliens
10/21/24 • 86 min
After the meticulous horror of Ridley Scott's Alien comes the muscular genre perfection of James Cameron's Aliens. Have we had two better films in a row yet on Redshirt Cinema Club? Ahaha, no, we have not.
Join us as we battle past simply enjoying the heck out of this movie and try to say something meaningful and worthwhile. How does Aliens expand the horizons of Alien while remaining consistent to its core ideas? What gives the film its slick momentum and intensity? And look - LOOK - at how cool everything is! Just look at it!
Are we still Alien fans? Yes we are, but join us anyway!

Alien
A new chapter dawns as Redshirt Cinema Club returns both to the silver screen and to space with the Alien series - a set of movies we'd all consider ourselves fans of despite acknowledging lots of them are a bit rubbish. As we take this journey through one of cinema's most iconic franchises we'll be repeatedly asking ourselves the question - are we still Alien fans? Let's find out!

Next Episode
Alien 3
Join us as we continue our journey through the Alien series with Alien 3.
David Fincher's 1992 film is dark and divisive. Following a difficult production, the film reviewed badly and disappointed fans of the more cohesive Alien and Aliens. Over time the film has developed a sympathetic cult following of ardent supporters - but will Nath, Rob, and Dave be among them? Listen to find out!
