On this episode Tom and Bert cover Movies - "Alien" and Lethal Weapon" with little known facts about the Production, Filming and behind the scenes drama.
"in Space no one can hear you Scream"! This was the famous tagline for "Alien" a 1979 SciFi/Horror/Thriller that brought back memories of the SciFi Classics of the 1950's with their taut, pulsating, suspenseful Storylines.
Starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skeritt and John Hurt, "Alien" was a rousing success and moviegoers were horrified by the infamous and iconic "Chest Burster" scene (13:31) with John Hurt having a tad bit of indigestion to say the least.
"Lethal Weapon" (37:16) a 1987 Film is our 2nd movie to review and discuss. "LW" was a comedy/Drama using the tried and true format of the "buddy movie" starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the lead roles playing cops with their own personal demons while fighting off the bad guys.
At a crossroads Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Glover) had some crazy shit going down. Riggs was suicidal while Murtaugh was ready to retire and was getting to old for this shit as he bluntly puts it. Anyway, fireworks ensue as the boys go about their daily lives fighting off the criminals.
Enjoy the Show!
