We continue our “Pec-Off” series, pitting Martin Riggs from the Lethal Weapon movie franchise against John McClane from the Die Hard movie franchise. They're both cops who play by their own rules, and are pains in the ass for various commanding officers. We're basing this character study on the first two movies from each franchise, well before they each went off the rails.
Spoil My Movie now has a phone number! Call us at (646) 926-0529. It goes right to voicemail, so we're calling it Spoil My Voicemail. Leave us a message and we might throw the audio into a future episode!

Pec-Off: Alien Xenomorph v. The Thing
It's a Pec-Off between two legendary sci-fi movie villains. In one corner, we have a xenomorph queen and a xenomorph soldier from 1979’s Alien and 1986’s Aliens. In the opposite corner The Thing from The Thing (1982) and The Thing (2011). Yup, they did that. We loved having Ron from Barrel Aged Flicks as our special guest! We talked Bill Paxton hate, xenomorph reproduction cycles, the intelligence of impersonation, and more. This is a longer episode, but Ron is a great hang so it's all entertaining! Oh, we also talked about chocolate anuses. It makes sense in context.
