1
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Hello.

2
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm Rosie Knight, and today we are diving deep into

3
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: the Alien franchise in anticipation of the newest entry alien formulas.

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: Now join me as I jump into the airlock where

5
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: Jason has been busy grinding tape preparing a recap.

6
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: Of all of the previous Alien movies.

7
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 4: So here we go, Alien Franchise recap in chronological order. Wow,

8
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 4: fictional chronological order.

9
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Chronological fictional order, which is our favorite way to do recap.

10
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 4: We begin with nineteen nineties Predator two. That's right, Predator two.

11
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: Wow, the crowd goes wild.

12
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: Okay, let's precede this by saying that both Jason and

13
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: I shed a deep love for this movie when we

14
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: with children.

15
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 3: We love this movie, but it is.

16
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: A very problematic movie when you watch it Agenheim.

17
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 4: Watching it in the modern day, there's it definitely raises

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: some red flags. We open in Los Angeles. The year

19
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: is nineteen ninety seven. Los Angeles is slightly furturistic. Los

20
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: Angeles is racked by hyper violent gang violence between two yes,

21
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: very racially problematic depictions of Columbian and Jamaican gangs that

22
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: are at each other's necks. And this violence attracts the

23
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: attentions of a predator who's like, oh, I love violence. Yeah,

24
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: these guys are killing each other, that I will kill

25
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: the ones who are killing the most because I'm a predator.

26
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: That's what I love to do is kill the most dangerous.

27
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: One and yeah, and then I'll be like the best

28
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: killer in downtown LA specifically.

29
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: So the alien, just as racking up bodies, cuts a

30
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 4: bloody swath through both of these gangs. LAPD Officer Mike

31
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,279
Speaker 4: Harrigan played by Danny Glover.

32
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: Huh, why were you cost in this movie?

33
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I love it. He is too

34
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: old for this shit in this movie.

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to be able.

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 4: To ashier suits in this than you would expect from

37
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: the Lethal Weapons series. So he's investigating the gang violence

38
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: and he finds himself in pursuit of the predator, and

39
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 4: of course nobody believes, you know, he's getting all these reports,

40
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 4: all this like invisible Killer. It's weird. It wasn't a man,

41
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: it was a monster or whatever. Towards the end of

42
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 4: the film, as Harrigan is in pursuit of this predator,

43
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 4: the predator goes to its ship that it's hidden and

44
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: as it you know, goes in there to like restock

45
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 4: on ammo et cetera, and like treat its wounds, and

46
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: we see among the predator's trophies is a xenomorph skull

47
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: on the wall. And let me tell you, in the

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: pre Internet era, when I saw this as a kid

49
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: and saw the alien skyll, I was like, my mind

50
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: literally exploded. But it's all I could talk about. You

51
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: don't understand the aliens exist in the Predator universe. I've

52
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 4: never heard of such a cross This game truly was yeah.

53
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: Literally I think for me this was probably also my

54
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: first crossover movie. And then I think the second one

55
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: was like I don't know, Freddy in Hell.

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: If Freddie goes to Hell and at the end he

57
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: like pulls down, I mean that.

58
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I guess those are the two memories I have of like, oh, ship,

59
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: like something's gonna happen.

60
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: So Harrigan kills the predator with its own like little weapon,

61
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: it's a frisbee weapon. And then a group of predators

62
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: who I guess have been like observing, appear and they

63
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: take their fellow predator's corpse back with them that put

64
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: it on the ship, and they give Harrigan like an

65
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: old Revolutionary War pistol.

66
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: As a good job, all right, shot you peace.

67
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: Next movie Alien Versus Predator two thousand and four of

68
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: the Year is A Year is two thousand and four.

69
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: Charles Whaland played by Lance Henrickson that you played Bishop,

70
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: the synthetic humanoid Bishop in Aliens and other roles which

71
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: we will get to in the Alien franchise, is the

72
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: CEO of Whalen Industries, and he sends a crack team

73
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: of international scientists and mercenaries to a recently discovered pyramid

74
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 4: which is under the Antarctic ice. Now, the pyramid turns

75
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: out to be a predator like hunting temple, and it

76
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: turns out how they build it because they're the spacefaring

77
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: highly advanced hunters. And it turns out they're just like

78
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 4: especially the predators. Now, it turns out the predators taught

79
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 4: human beings how to build pyramids because I guess people

80
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: couldn't like figure out the triangle shape like.

81
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: They were like they were like, this is a two complex?

82
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: What woo baby, I barely just got the wheel going.

83
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going.

84
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: So predator culture apparently considers the xenomorph like the ultimate prey,

85
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: like like the most dangerous thing you can hunt. Right,

86
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: So every one hundred years, the predator contestants come to

87
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: Earth to hunt the xenomorphs specifically hatched from sacrificial human beings,

88
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: and this alien queen that they have like frozen in

89
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: the pyramid. And this is like the predator version of

90
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: the Olympics, right, It's a big deal. And the scientists

91
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: and the mercenaries get all caught up in this competition

92
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 4: and they're like, we have to help the pre dators

93
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 4: win because the aliens if they overrun, you know, the predators,

94
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: they'll like wild on Earth and just kill everybody or

95
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 4: use them as you know, egg hatching incubators. The predators

96
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: give Arctic guide Lex played by Snale than a spear

97
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: is a gift. And after this is after the predators

98
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: defeat the aliens, uh, they then get in the ship

99
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: with one of their fallen comrades named Scar and they

100
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: take off, and then soon after they take off, an

101
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: alien predator hybrid bursts from the dead predator's chest. Now

102
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: you would after several centuries of dealing with these creatures,

103
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: that the predators would like x ray everybody that they

104
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: decide to take back.

105
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: On with that, I feel like to make sure they

106
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: don't really think, yeah, let me know what these things.

107
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 4: Do, and you're still like, yeah, yeah, don't even check it.

108
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 4: Just bring it right on, just.

109
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: Put them on the shed. I definitely didn't get that.

110
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 4: Brings us to two thousand and sevens Alien Predator Requiem,

111
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 4: which occurs in the same year as Alien Versus Predator

112
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: thousand four, happens in fact immediately following the events. So

113
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 4: right after the Predators get in their ship and take

114
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: off to fly back to their home planet, the pred alien,

115
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 4: which is now hatched, it grows at a fantastic rate,

116
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: as we often see that these creatures do, and immediately

117
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 4: fucking goes ham and it causes the Predator home ship

118
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: to crash into Gunnis in Colorado. Ah, yes, Gonnis in

119
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: Colorado's poor town doesn't know what it's in for. The

120
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: Xenomorphs then go fucking crazy and they start reproducing using

121
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: humans as hosts. They're fucking going nuts. A Predator champion

122
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 4: back on the Predator home world, it gets the distress

123
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: signal and is like, fuck this, I'm going there alone.

124
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: He's like, if you want to jump and I'm going

125
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: to wipe out all the xenomorphs on Earth. Now things

126
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: get really chaotic and crazy, so much so that the

127
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: military like immediately gets involved and they decide, we can't

128
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: we can't let this spread any further. Let's nuke Gunnison,

129
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: a thing you've seen in a million movie outbreak, the Blob,

130
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: et cetera. So, but I think it's actually like quite

131
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: a reasonable thing to do in this particular case.

132
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: Jason's like, in this case, then you go to do

133
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like they're.

134
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: They're not thinking about the fact that in the canon

135
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: of these kind of movies, if you nuke, some creature usually.

136
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: Just becomes giant.

137
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: So I would definitely be thinking of the Godzilla potentials

138
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: of the mutation.

139
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: But I still understand the intention.

140
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: It's pretty like you must imagine like the president would

141
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 4: have had to have been briefed. Okay, mister President. So

142
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 4: what we've got is a parasitic alien race species that

143
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: is reproducing very quickly, and they are also being uh

144
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 4: fought by a humanoid alien race of hunters. Are you

145
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 4: getting this, sir.

146
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: To alien species you didn't know about until this.

147
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 4: The military nukes Gunnison, killing the predator in the Xenomorphs.

148
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: The predator's gun is then gifted to miss Utani, who

149
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: does not have a first name in the movie, who

150
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 4: is the CEO of a Japanese cybernetics and robotics company,

151
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: the Utani Corporations. Now we have Whyland and Utani in

152
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: the universe.

153
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: Dude, I have to say the movies that are essentially

154
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: like so derived.

155
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: Both these movies are dumb?

156
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: Should I to enjoy? Yeah? They are like so dumb,

157
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: It's so funny. How dedicated they have to say?

158
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 4: They worked really hard, like can't casting Lands Hendrickson, Yeah,

159
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: you know, being like and they're.

160
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: Like, we're gonna make a cannon manly, you're gonna kid,

161
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: You're gonna care about this. People will be talking about this,

162
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: and it's like, people, these movies are.

163
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: So dumb, But I gotta they commit really hard to

164
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: every single movie having a twist ending that is somehow

165
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: connectionally in law.

166
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 4: These reveals do have an interesting effect on the overall cannon,

167
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: which we will discuss as we get there. Next up

168
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 4: twenty twelve's Prometheus. The year is twenty eighty nine. Archaeologist

169
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 4: Elizabeth Shaw and her boyfriend Charlie discover that many ancient

170
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: human cultures have a very similar foundational myth that involves

171
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 4: very tall aliens from a distant star system. And these

172
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 4: tall aliens are the engineers, who I guess so life

173
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 4: across the galaxy or something. Peter Whyland, who is very

174
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 4: very very very very old and about to die, like

175
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 4: any second, he's about to die, about to go. It's

176
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: happening as his like video recording is being played to

177
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: this science team that he's put together. He's like, I'm

178
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: not by the time you watch this, I'm gone. So

179
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: heros an ambitious mission to a moon in that particular

180
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 4: star system that they matched to the cave paintings and

181
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 4: different pieces of art from all those human cultures, and

182
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: so they're going to this moon called LVY two twenty

183
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: three because he thinks the engineers are there, and mister

184
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: Whalan wants the engineers to tell him how he can

185
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 4: like avoid dying.

186
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: Which is such a fucking come on, just asassin thing

187
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: to do.

188
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: Like so many of the decisions in these movies are

189
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: so terrible, and it's really funny because once we you know,

190
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: we are doing this in fictional chronological order. So at

191
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: this point, by the time you get to Prometheus. The

192
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: movie is essentially like an MCU filled easter egg for

193
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: the previous alien movies that were released. But at this

194
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: point chronologically, you're just like, my friend, what are you doing,

195
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: Like you.

196
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: Have to spend this much money.

197
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could just find a side I mean

198
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: to hear this instead of going in the real world.

199
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 4: PayPal founder Peter Thiel, you know, investor in tech and

200
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 4: all around right wing nut job, has It's been credibly

201
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: reported that he injects himself with like the human blood

202
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 4: of like young healthy people.

203
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, you know.

204
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: They're doing crazy shits in the real world, So yeah, okay.

205
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: The journey take to LV two twenty three takes them

206
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: four years. They're in cryo sleep the whole time.

207
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 3: Cash.

208
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: While they're in cryo sleep, they're watched over by David,

209
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 4: who is a synthetic uh humanoid that was designed by

210
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 4: mister Whyland. On LV two twenty three, the team finds

211
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 4: like a ton of artifacts from the engineers, including all

212
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: these jars of like black goo that turns out to

213
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 4: be a bio weapon.

214
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: David takes like a drop played very creepily by Michael

215
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: Fastbat takes a drop of the.

216
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 4: Black goo, and he infects Charlie with it. Charlie then

217
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 4: has sex with Elizabeth and impregnates her unknowingly with this

218
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 4: very fast growing alien fetus, just as David wanted. She asks, yeah,

219
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 4: as it's growing, like she's in more and more physical distress,

220
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 4: and they do a scan and he's like says, very creepy,

221
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 4: oh you've got this alien in you. And she's like, well,

222
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 4: let's get it out. He's like, well, we don't have

223
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 4: the stuff, we don't have any way to do that here, and.

224
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: We yeah, yeah, yeah, bat, let's just see take you home. Okay,

225
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: seems like nothing.

226
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: Instead, Elizabeth breaks into Charlie's thron's cabin on the ship

227
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: and uses her advanced like medical machine of which only

228
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 4: a dozen were made, and she does like an abortion

229
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 4: on herself. Moving cz this like wriggling squid like Alien.

230
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 4: It's really gross, it's really great.

231
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: It's super So can we just say you mentioned Shaly's

232
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: there on.

233
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: This movie has like a wild cast Idris Elba, Charlie's

234
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: then Michael Fassbender, like wem Ridley Scott said he was

235
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: coming back, the original director of Alien.

236
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: Everyone was like, I'm jumping on that ship. Like, there's

237
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: some very.

238
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: Iconic images from this movie, like Idris Alba smoking a

239
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: Christmas tree that I feel actually have almost more longevity

240
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: than the movie.

241
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: It did inspire many important memes.

242
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 4: So we learned that LV two twenty three was an

243
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 4: engineer like bioweapon facility, they were making this bioweapon, and

244
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: that they had planned to release it on Earth. Non

245
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 4: canon sources, namely Ridley Scotty, directed this film says that

246
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 4: in his mind, they wanted to send the goo. They

247
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 4: made the decision to send the good to Earth like

248
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: two thousand years ago, and it was because the humans

249
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 4: had killed their emissary, the engineer emissary that sent to

250
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: Earth to tell them to like chill out and stop

251
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 4: being so violent, and that was Jesus. So Jesus was

252
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: an engineer, but then he didn't really put it in

253
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 4: so that credible kind of like the under that's the

254
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: subtext man. That's straight from Ridley scott The movie is

255
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 4: very heavily invested in the religious and God, and part

256
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: of the reason that Elizabeth even goes on it is

257
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: because she's religious and she wants to meet God.

258
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: She wants to understand faith and where she comes from.

259
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: That is incredible and I had no idea that was

260
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: part of the canon, So thank you for that one,

261
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: Redly Scott and Jason.

262
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: And now we mentioned that mister Oylan was like really

263
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: really old and about to die, and by the time

264
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: they land on LV tw twenty three, everbody thought he

265
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 4: was dead. But surprise, he's actually alive, and David goes

266
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 4: to get him from wherever he was. He was like

267
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 4: hiding in the in the ship the whole time.

268
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: He had like a secret cabin, a secret at.

269
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: A false bottom, like in a desk or something. So

270
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: they get him out and David, you know, goes with him,

271
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: and Charlie's then sorry, Meredith Vickers, I'll call him very

272
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 4: character name, and Elizabeth and I go to the engineership

273
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 4: and then David wakes up an engineer and he can

274
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 4: talk to them because he's been studying proto into a

275
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 4: European this ancient language, and so he translates for mister

276
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 4: Whyland and basically says, hey, I know we just woke

277
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 4: you up, but like my boss wants to know how

278
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: he cannot die, And the engineer is like, you came

279
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: all the way here for this, and he goes crazy.

280
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 4: He rips David's head off. He's so passed off. He's like,

281
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: he rips David's head off. He bashes mister Whyland in

282
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: the head with David's head and then you know it goes.

283
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: He tries to take off, but Elizabeth, you know, radios

284
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: to Adris Elba and is like, we need to crash

285
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: the ship or else, like he's gonna send the blackpoop

286
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 4: to Earth. The ship crashes. Now the engineer is like

287
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 4: chasing Elizabeth. It chases her through the human ship, where

288
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, Elizabeth's xenomorph baby that looks like

289
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 4: now like a huge squid math subdues the engineer and

290
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: impregnates it, like puts its like egg overpositor into the

291
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 4: Engineer's mouth, which is like super super gross. Elizabeth then

292
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 4: recovers David's head and body and is like, Hey, I

293
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: want to go to the engineer homeworld. I need answers.

294
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: I want to find out why they're going to wipe

295
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 4: out humanity with the black goo and will you take me?

296
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 4: And David's like, you know what, fuck it, let's do it.

297
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 4: After this a xenomorph not a full alien as we

298
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 4: know from like alien and aliens, but like more kind

299
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 4: of like certainly one that looks like it's getting there.

300
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 4: It bursts out of the engine Year's chest and then

301
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 4: later off. This is kind of like this is not

302
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 4: in the movie, but it's part of like the off

303
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 4: Cannon and other fictional materials. Whaland Industries goes bankrupt because

304
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 4: mister Whalen put all his money. They flopped back to

305
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: just Comedia's mission and it is then acquired by the

306
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 4: Utani Corporation, creating the Whaland Utani Corporation that brings us

307
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 4: too Alien Covenant. The year is twenty one oh four.

308
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 4: The Whaland Utani ship Covenant, carrying several thousand space colonists,

309
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 4: is on its way to Oregie six. Walter and Advanced

310
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 4: Synth using the David format but with all of David's

311
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 4: like creative abilities that human beings found like really disconcerting

312
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: removed manages things during the long cryo sleep of the

313
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: crew and all the colonists. But then tragedy strike. There's

314
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 4: this neutrino burst and Walter has to wake everybody up

315
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 4: to get them out of their tubes because the ship

316
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: is damaged. But Captain James Franco sadly dies in his

317
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 4: cryo tube.

318
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 3: Rip to that, captain, Rip to him.

319
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 4: Now, the crew, while it's fixing the ship, gets a

320
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 4: distress signal from a nearby planet called planet four, and

321
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 4: the new captain, Captain Orum, is like, let's go investigate.

322
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 4: So they investigate and they find out that this distress signal,

323
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: which came in the form of take Me Home, Country

324
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 4: Roads by John Denver in Christ, is from a planet

325
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 4: planet four that is like completely like earthlike it can

326
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 4: it's got like water. They could live there. And so

327
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: the whole crew is like, you know what, we just

328
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: saw the captain like get burned alive in his tube.

329
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 4: Nobody wants to get back on sleep for seven years?

330
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: What if this is the answer to all our problems?

331
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: We just like do this, We just like stay here. Daniels,

332
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 4: who is James Franco's widow now and is the second command,

333
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 4: is like, wait, wait, wait, it seems a little too perfect,

334
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 4: doesn't it, Like why didn't we ever we do all

335
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 4: these scans, which is how we found six, But now

336
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: there's this closer planet and we never saw it and

337
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 4: it's like perfect, Like this doesn't seem any weird anybody

338
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 4: and everybody's like shut up, no. So they go to

339
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 4: investigator and these are the dumbest fucking scientists ever. So

340
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 4: they go down to investigate this earth like planet and

341
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: they go with like literally no ppe, no helmets, no breathers,

342
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 4: nothing that we can just breath. Well, I guess they're

343
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 4: just like sitting on stuff and touching things, and like

344
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 4: you don't see them drink the water, but they might

345
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: as well be because they're just like breathing the air.

346
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: They're raw dogging this fucking planet and shocking Goose because

347
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: what they get infected by like sports the black goo, right,

348
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 4: and of course they then become hosts for xeno morphs.

349
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeh.

350
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 4: By the way, we also see that this there's a

351
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 4: city here and it's full of like dead engineers. This

352
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 4: is like the engineer home World. So one of the

353
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: infected team members gets taken back aboard the ship the Covenant,

354
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 4: which is crazy. You just bring him back on he's

355
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 4: got he's sick with why.

356
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: Would you do it?

357
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: Every time they are not following. It's kind of a

358
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: theme like just keep him in quarantine. They were not prepared.

359
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Whoever put together this team of colonists and they were

360
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: not prepared to be colonizrable.

361
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 4: The rest of the group like remains on the planet's

362
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 4: surface with another infected guy. They then get attacked by

363
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 4: the xeno morphs that were one of which was born

364
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 4: from the infected person. But then they're saved by David.

365
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 4: David's here Dun dun du. It turns out he's David

366
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 4: wiped out all the engineers by like dropping their black

367
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 4: goo bombs on them, and he's spent all the time,

368
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: like whatever it is eleven years later or something, trying

369
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 4: to perfect the perfect because he loves making things.

370
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 3: He just loves making you get some deeply wild moments.

371
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: I remember sitting in the movie theater in Long Beach,

372
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: where I believe I went with people from my old

373
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: comic shop that used to be on the waterfront at

374
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: Long Beach, and we went there and there is like

375
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: a five minute scene in this movie where one of

376
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: the Michael Fastbenders is like playing yeah and then they're

377
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: like gonna kiss and like it is legitimately one of

378
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: the weirdest movies. Jason's Fantastic Recap has always is just

379
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: zooming through this, making it seem far more action packed

380
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: than it is.

381
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: This is like such a weirdly.

382
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: Long, atmospheric like gothic movie, and the two Michael fastbenders

383
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: are just having the wildest part.

384
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 4: So David then kills Walter in the scene that Rosie

385
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 4: was just talking about. Yeah, the flute scene basically tricks

386
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 4: and like rips something out of his neck and fucking

387
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 4: drops him dead. But Walter is a significantly upgraded model

388
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: and he like fixes himself somehow off camera and comes

389
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: back and he takes out David Walter Daniels again. James

390
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 4: Franco's widow then flee back to the Covenant ship. But

391
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 4: then it turns out that the xenomorph hatched out of

392
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 4: the sick guy that they brought into the fucking ship

393
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: is now loose on the ship. So David Daniels and

394
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 4: Danny McBride worked together to kill the alien. Hey, and

395
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 4: as Daniels is being put back into cryo sleep by this.

396
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: Bit is actually genuinely terrifying and I still think about

397
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: how impact this and.

398
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 4: Was fucking great. So Daniels has been put back into

399
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 4: cry sleep by Walter and she says, hey, will you

400
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 4: help me build my log cabin? Earlier in the movie

401
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: of building a log cabin and he doesn't get the reference,

402
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: and she realizes with horror that it's actually David, that's

403
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: not Walter, and she but she can't do anything now

404
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 4: because the go to sleep gases are filling the tube,

405
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 4: and she goes to fucking sleep. David then throws up

406
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 4: to face huggers like in little plastic cash pill capsules,

407
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 4: puts them in the human embryo freezer, and then radio's

408
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: mission control back on Earth and says, hey, sorry, everybody died,

409
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 4: and I'm trying to carry out the machine on my own.

410
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 4: We'll be back in just a moment after a word

411
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: from our friends at whalen Utani. Whalen Utani making the

412
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 4: galaxy better, and we're back. That brings us too.

413
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

414
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 4: Alien nineteen seventy nine's Alien, the movie that's started at

415
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 4: all here. The year is twenty one, twenty two. The

416
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 4: Wayland Utanni mining ship Nostromo receives a distress signal from

417
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 4: planet LV four twenty six. They go to investigate. They

418
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 4: find an alien ship. On the ship. There is a

419
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 4: long dead engineer still in a jump seat with like

420
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 4: the trademark burst out of its chest. A face hugger

421
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: hatches and attaches itself to the face of one of

422
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 4: the crew members named Kane, who is then taken back

423
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 4: aboard the ship by the fucking Captain Dallas played by

424
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 4: Tom Scarrett. I will say this is the most effective

425
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 4: like breaking quarantine scene because Ripley Ellen Ripley played by

426
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 4: Scourney Weaver, the hero of the film, is like, you don't.

427
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: It's like hard no, she has the safety office, that doesn't.

428
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 4: She says, I'm not letting you in. You have to

429
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 4: be there for you have to stay in quarantine for

430
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: twenty four hours. But it's Ash the who then turns

431
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 4: out to be said with a human who, as we

432
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 4: will learn, has other motives, lets them aboard. Anyway. They

433
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: get a board, and it's horrific. You know, everybody's horrified

434
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 4: by this face ogre on Kane. But then eventually the

435
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: face oger lets go and dies and everything seems fine, Yeah,

436
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: until they're all having a wonderful dinner before going back

437
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: and cry to sleep, and Kine is all of a

438
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 4: sudden in immense distressed, and that happens the xenomorph purse

439
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 4: out of his chest to general screen runs horrifying moment

440
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 4: and certainly one of the most just an iconic cinema moment.

441
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: Honestly, yeah, this is still just like after watching all

442
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: these movies in this order, when you get here, the

443
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: practice fautful, the gorgeous set, the production designed by H. R. Geige,

444
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: you can just feel how tactile and terrifying it really

445
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: is compared to some of the more modern versions. And

446
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: this scene is still so iconic and so.

447
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 4: Said enough like this movie. Obviously there's some dated things

448
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: about it, but overall, seen the scene, just like looking

449
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 4: at them walking through hallways and stuff, it looks as

450
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 4: good as anything made today.

451
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: It looks absolutely Yeah, and it's also a movie about

452
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: like working classes.

453
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, literally about work. It's about blue colors on.

454
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: The ship, like it's about blue collar guys.

455
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: It's so interesting in so many different ways that you

456
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: know this many years last still feel really relevant and cool.

457
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: So the Zenomore quickly grows to this to the size

458
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 4: of a very large human being, and it begins off

459
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 4: crewmembers one at a time, including the captain, who volunteers

460
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: himself to go like try and flush this thing out

461
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 4: of the air ducks because clearly he's feeling like shit

462
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 4: because this is all his fucking fault. Like he broke

463
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 4: cort me.

464
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 3: Just listened.

465
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 4: Now, Ripley discovers that Ash, the science officer, plans to

466
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 4: return to Earth with the Xenomorph and had in fact

467
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 4: been kind of directed to steer them towards this distress signal.

468
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 4: And because the company Wail and Utani that they all

469
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 4: work for, really, really, really wants this xenomorph ip for

470
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 4: like their weapons divisions or like their healthcare division, for

471
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 4: all sorts of divisions that they have under their banner,

472
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 4: it really.

473
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: Is a killing machine. And also, I want to say this.

474
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: Is leads to another one of the most terrifying scenes

475
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: when Ash attacks Ripley.

476
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: It's so simple, but I remember being so disconcerted. First

477
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 4: of all, I saw this scene. I was not allowed

478
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 4: to watch the movie. I was probably like five, and

479
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: my parents had it on VHS and they were watching it,

480
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 4: and I watched it from the top of the stairs.

481
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: I watched the whole fucking thing. This scene really bothered

482
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: me because there's something so weird about the way he tries,

483
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: like he rolls up a magazine and tries to stuff

484
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: it in her mouth. And to this day, I've never

485
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 4: seen somebody try to kill somebody like that. And it

486
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: really just really bothered me. The imagery was so disturbing. Anyway,

487
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: Ash tries to kill Ripley, but then is stopped by

488
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 4: the surviving crew members, and we discover that Ashes this

489
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: synthetic human with like milky blood.

490
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: Oh so creepy.

491
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 4: Eventually it gets down to just Ripley because the alien

492
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: kills all these crew members. She and the ship Cat.

493
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 4: Jones said, the stromo is self destuck, and they get

494
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 4: on a lifeboat and they launch and the stromo explodes

495
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: and everything's fucking fine. No, it's not because the alien

496
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 4: is hiding on the lifeboat. They're really smart, these aliens.

497
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 4: Ripley gets into a spacesuit, she opens the airlock, shoots

498
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 4: the alien in the chest with a harpoon, sending it

499
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 4: out of the airlock, and then when it tries to

500
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 4: to crawl back onto the hull of the ship, it

501
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 4: ends up like inside one of the engines of the ship,

502
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 4: and she hits the thruster and it burns up, and

503
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: then she goes in a cry of sleep with Jones

504
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 4: and everything is happily ever after.

505
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: Right, of course, no problems. She escaped with the cat.

506
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 3: That's all she needed.

507
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 4: That brings us to coming to a theater near you. Romulus,

508
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: set between the events of Alien and the next movie

509
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 4: in the series, Aliens from nineteen eighty Aliens, Now Aliens

510
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 4: takes place in the year twenty one to seventy nine.

511
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 4: Ripley has been asleep for fifty seven years when she

512
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 4: is discovered by a salvage ship. She returns to Earth,

513
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: but all hope of like restarting like a normal life

514
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: are scuttled because her credit score is absolutely fucking shit

515
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 4: housed because Waylan Utani considers her financially liable unbelievable for

516
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 4: the destruction of the now Trauma, which she had to do.

517
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 4: And she tries to tell them, well, there's this fucking alien,

518
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 4: there's a cenomorph. It killed the whole crew and the

519
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 4: like shot whatever. We've never heard of anything like that. Meanwhile,

520
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 4: we know, yeah, what are you talking about? Utani company,

521
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 4: And separately, both the Whyland and you Tani sides of

522
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 4: the company have been aware, well aware of the existence

523
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: of xenomorph saying no since that twentieth century, they've known

524
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 4: about it.

525
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: They've been trying to make one.

526
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: Also, I just want to say, you know, this is

527
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: a huge change from Ridley Scott, the original director. Now

528
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: you've got James Cameron. That's two of the biggest directors

529
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: of all time. But I love that James Cameron respected

530
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: that this needed to at least begin by being a

531
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: movie about a blue collar worker getting sucked over by

532
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: a corporation. He was like, that part is really important,

533
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: even if the rest of the movie is going to

534
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: be totally different.

535
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: I just need people to know I remember that that

536
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: is what made that movies.

537
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: And I got to say, you gotta love James Cameron

538
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 4: for the Avatar movies before this complete CG revolution that

539
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 4: he undertook, because here's another movie with the production design,

540
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 4: the practical effects, the sets that looks so tactile and

541
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 4: real and lived in and it looks again, it looks

542
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: as good as any movie that will come out like

543
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 4: it just looks fucking great. Anyway, When Wayland loses contact

544
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: with their colony Hadley's Hope on LV four twenty six.

545
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 3: Why did they stuck Callingy that guy?

546
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 4: Well, I think they knew it.

547
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: I think they did that.

548
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think they did this. They did so they

549
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 4: strong armed Ripley into going back because she's the only

550
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 4: person with experience with Xenomorphson. She's like, you'll be a consultant,

551
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: and by the way, you'll be completely safe because we're

552
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 4: sending you with a squad of heavily armed colonial marines.

553
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 4: These these men and women are fucking bad ass. They're

554
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 4: so buff and they go they're fucking professions.

555
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: There's nothing that can happen to them.

556
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 4: They've kill, kill, kill, and there's nobody better galaxy than them. Well,

557
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 4: yes there is, because as soon as they land, the

558
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 4: aliens wipe out the fucking marines like quick, like ten minutes.

559
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 4: There's only a handful of marines and this thrust Ripley,

560
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 4: a surviving colonist, this little girl named Nude, and a

561
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 4: rag tag James collection of marines and one company hack

562
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 4: named Carter Burke into a struggle to survive. They come

563
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: up with a plan to nuke the There's just like,

564
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 4: let's get back on our ship.

565
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: And fucking nuke it.

566
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: Like what you know.

567
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 4: Now, Company Hack Burke disagrees in Gunnisan, Company hack Burke

568
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 4: is like, now, hold on. This installation holds a significant

569
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 4: dollar value to the stockholders, not to mention the potential

570
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 4: gains to be made from the alien ip They're like,

571
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 4: shut the fuck up, bitch, shut up where nuked.

572
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: They're like, this is the problem. This is where the

573
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: problem comes from. You're not taking an alien home. It's

574
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 3: not Jurassic Park.

575
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 4: Again, it must be said they've been trying to take

576
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 4: an alien back to Earth for like one hundred years

577
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 4: at this point anyway, So they ignore him and they

578
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: proceed with nuke from orbit plan, which requires them to

579
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 4: escape back to their ship. But the aliens fucking go crazy.

580
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 4: They kill company Hack, Carter Burke, and a bunch of others.

581
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 4: Ripley eventually escapes with Newt and a Bishop the new

582
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 4: Synth played by Lance Henrickson, who you know Ripley has

583
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 4: been struggling to kind of trust up until this time. Yeah,

584
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: they get back on board their ship and they are

585
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 4: gonna nuke it from orbit. But then guess what. It

586
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 4: turns out that the alien queen who Ripley had previously

587
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 4: burned up all the eggs, all the alien and face

588
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 4: hugger eggs in front of the queen. It made the

589
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 4: queen super angry. Now she's so pissed she attached herself

590
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: to their jump ship and like was hiding in the

591
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 4: wheel well and now she appears. She tears Bishop in half,

592
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 4: but then Ripley in one of the most iconic scenes

593
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 4: in movies. Yeah, legendary scene, puts on a loader suit

594
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 4: basically a mech suit and beats the shit out of

595
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 4: the queen get away.

596
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 3: Ye bitch, how you bitch? Also just need to say, like,

597
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: the Queen design is so sick.

598
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: It's really hard to come from a movie like Alien

599
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: where you have someone's literal nightmares. In hl Gey Goot

600
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: coming to life as the x Anomorph, it shocked people.

601
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: We had no idea of what an alien could look

602
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: like before that. Before it had always been the you know,

603
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: the the Gray Men kind of trope. And then to

604
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: have to find a new way to scare people in

605
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: the new movie is so well done. Even though this

606
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: is definitely more of an action than a sci fi horror,

607
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: I do think the Queen design goes.

608
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 3: Down as like one of the most badass designs.

609
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 4: And it must be said Cameron has created two of

610
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 4: the greatest sequels of all time T two and Aliens. Ever,

611
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 4: you know, it's like Godfather too of T two Aliens,

612
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 4: that's like the triumvirate of the greatest sequels of all time,

613
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 4: and James Cameron has made two of them. So Ripley

614
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 4: Jettison's the queen out into space. She puts Hicks into

615
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 4: cryo sleep, she puts Nude into cryosleep, she puts herself

616
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 4: into cryo sleep. And they won. That's it, that's it,

617
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 4: we've won.

618
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 3: We're going back to the problems. She's got a nice

619
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 3: little baby when everything would do that. She's a kid

620
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 3: like nude.

621
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 4: That brings us to Alien three from nineteen ninety two.

622
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 4: The year is twenty one seventy nine.

623
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 3: Dun Dun Dum.

624
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 4: After a fire aboard the marine intergalactic ship causes the

625
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 4: lifeboat to be launched, which contains the cryo tubes of Hicks, Ripley, Newt,

626
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 4: and Bishop. The lifeboat then crashes on a prison planet

627
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 4: inhabited by all male inmates. Only Ripley survives no scratch.

628
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: That a face hugger, a face that was aboard the

629
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 4: ship also survives. The face hugger then hug wild one

630
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: of the inmates dogs, and the dog quickly gives birth

631
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 4: to a really bad looking xenomorph Alien hybrid.

632
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, really ugly dog xenom of hybrid.

633
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to stop us that because in

634
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: one of the original scripts this movie was written like

635
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: four or five times before it was made.

636
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 3: It was originally going to be a cow instead of

637
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: a dog, which I would have loved to see.

638
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: Also, this movie is one of my favorite almost movie scripts,

639
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: which was the original Alien three script was that it

640
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: was going to be set on a planet of monks,

641
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: and the planet was entirely wooden, and inside the wooden

642
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: planet were all these tunnels, and you kind of get

643
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: to see a little instead of monkst you get the

644
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: prisoners who are religious fanatics, and you get some of

645
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: those tunnels still going through the prison planet. But it's

646
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: not in any way as wild as that would have been.

647
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: This movie had true production hell it went.

648
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 4: Through And this is David Fincher's feature film debut. David

649
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 4: Fincher was by this time a very accomplished music video

650
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 4: and commercial director, some really like iconic music videos for

651
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 4: Madonna and many many other notables, and you did a

652
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 4: lot of ad campaigns for like Levi's Nike, et cetera.

653
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 4: But this is his first movie and he has since

654
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 4: he disowned the movie.

655
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: Yes all three.

656
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't like the work print, he doesn't like the

657
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: theatrical print. He doesn't like the special edition, he said,

658
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: not for me. I find that also, this movie really

659
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: feels like it was heavily influenced by like a French

660
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: cinema at the time, like The City of Lost Children.

661
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 4: You Have Lost Children, kind of like the breakout film

662
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 4: of the director who directed Alien Resurrection in the next film.

663
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it really feels to me like this was

664
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: influenced I agree with you by that by Delicatessen.

665
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 3: It has this kind of weird it's incredibly.

666
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: Monotone like the Yeah, it has like these monotone kind

667
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: of like and it's very slow compared to you know, Aliens.

668
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: And yes, the Dog's animal hybrid is notoriously bad in

669
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: this and it actually has there's a very famous scene

670
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: with it's just Hans and some black leather gloves and

671
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: they just come down on the screen and everyone's like,

672
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: no human acts.

673
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 4: CG for it. And this is nineteen ninety two, and

674
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 4: you know, by this point it's like the state of

675
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 4: the art for this kind of CG was again probably

676
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 4: T two And what's the James catn.

677
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: Which, by the way was also at the time the

678
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 3: most expensive.

679
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 4: Underwater Oh, the Abyss so you know, at this time,

680
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 4: the state of the art for this kind of effects

681
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 4: was probably like T two and The Abyss, both by

682
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 4: James Cameron. By the way, the Dog.

683
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 3: Alian Dog alias Let's go with them were.

684
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 4: They gave it this kind of green machen which I

685
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 4: think what they were intending to do was to make

686
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 4: it stand out from these very gray Stone Hallway backgrounds

687
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 4: and stand out from the shadows. But the issue is

688
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 4: it made it look completely not realistic to the way

689
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 4: light works.

690
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, in any way, so it just looks really anyway,

691
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 3: I will say as well.

692
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: Another interesting thing I learned because I watched this on

693
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: laser disc, so I was like, oh, maybe the laser

694
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 1: disc version is a different cut, because I've seen many

695
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: different cuts of the first Alien movie because there were

696
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: just so many. No, But what I did learn is

697
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: that how they did the CG on this so they

698
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: could see what it looked like was they would take

699
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: a laser disc version of the dailies and.

700
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 3: Then overlay the cig on top of the movie see

701
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: what it would look like. Yeah, that's how they were

702
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 3: making it. So laser disk actually very important part and

703
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 3: making of this movie.

704
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, it does look like the CG was done

705
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: with laser disc so that did not actually surprise me.

706
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 4: Ripley forms a bond with Clemmens. The prison doctor played

707
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 4: by Charles Dance aka Tywon.

708
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 3: Lanister Taiwan Lannie.

709
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 4: Dog alien goes on a fucking hot streak like killing Spury,

710
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 4: it's just killing. He kills the warden while the warden

711
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 4: is giving kills the warden while the warden is giving

712
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 4: like a speech about how no one should be worried

713
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 4: about like the people who have been dying recently in

714
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 4: any rumor that there's like a dragon running around the

715
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 4: killing people's nature. The dog alien like reaches down from

716
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 4: the fucking ceiling and cling and just like choose him up.

717
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: But it doesn't kill Ripley because guess why, huh, oh man,

718
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 4: I wonder why it could be with an alien The

719
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 4: face hugger got her in the oh man so and

720
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 4: so remember it bummed out about this and she's like, well,

721
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kill myself. I want to die. And the

722
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 4: inmates are like, no more, you die. You have to

723
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 4: help us beat this thing because you've one. You've done

724
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 4: it twice. Now we can't. We need you, We need

725
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 4: your help, you say, and then you can kill yourself.

726
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: And she's like okay. So that she comes up with

727
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 4: a plan to like lure it, because they have no

728
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 4: weapons on this prison facility, lure it into it like

729
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 4: a furnace facility that they have where they can dump

730
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 4: like molten metal on it and kill it. And so

731
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 4: they managed to do that. They dumped the molten metal

732
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 4: on it, and then just like Terminator Too, they like

733
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 4: spray it with water which has this like rapid temperature

734
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 4: shift and it it like shatters. Okay again, just you

735
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 4: think this must be one of the things that bothers.

736
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 4: Fincher too is like, but they did. They did it

737
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 4: in Terminator too, and then we're doing it at the

738
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 4: end of the MOE. So then Ripley is about to

739
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 4: jump in a furnace mission accomplished. She wants wants to

740
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 4: kill this turns out she's an alien queen in her chest.

741
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 4: But then a whaling Utani rescue team arrives, led by

742
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 4: mister Bishop, the human creator of Bishop the Synth. He's

743
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 4: Hendrick is back and there and whaling Utani must be thinking, finally,

744
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 4: this is it. We've got it, We've it actually did

745
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 4: w it's we've been trying to do this for two

746
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 4: hundred years, and now we finally got a human with

747
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 4: a with the aliens, and it's an alien queen. We

748
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 4: got to get this thing back to Earth. But it

749
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 4: doesn't work. And even though mister Bishop is very very

750
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 4: I might have been persuaded by mister Bishop, he really

751
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 4: puts the charm on. He's like, Ripley, what are you?

752
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 4: Don't you want to go home? It's gonna be great.

753
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 4: You think we could great part of the whalen Utani.

754
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: Family, Like, don't do that, And she's like, well, my

755
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: adopted door is dead and I'm pregnant with the alien baby, so.

756
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna jump into this CG molten metal like.

757
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 4: Jumps into the CG molten metal just like Jesus Christ,

758
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 4: just as the alien queen burst out of her chest

759
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 4: like and she's like, ye like a baby, and they hit,

760
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 4: they hit the metal and they burn up, and that's it. Happily.

761
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 4: Ever after that's it.

762
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: We just have to take a break to go and

763
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: insert the alien eggs into our human sacrifices so we

764
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: can have xenomorphs ready for you after this message.

765
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: And we're back.

766
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: Finally, Ripley is free from the aliens, nothing else could happen.

767
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 4: Alien Resurrection nineteen ninety seven. It's been two hundred years.

768
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 4: Directed by Jean Pierre Jeunette.

769
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: I still haven't done it. They still haven't.

770
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 4: Directed by French weirdo Jean Pierre Jeanne of Omily fame

771
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 4: and the.

772
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: City of City of Lost Children, City of Lost Children.

773
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 4: Super weird, really fun movie. I'm not sure he was

774
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 4: the correct choice for this film, but regardless, Rail and

775
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 4: Utani scientists aborder ship named the Ariga clone Ripley from

776
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 4: a blood sample and they combine it with xenomorphine Clone

777
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 4: Ripley and then grows up to like adult Ripley in

778
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 4: a very short period of time, because you know how

779
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 4: the aliens do that, They just grow up and Clone

780
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 4: Ripley yeah, super strong, has acid blood and also has

781
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 4: a very weird psychic link to the aliens. And also

782
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 4: because I guess the xenomorphs have like a genetic memory,

783
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 4: they chair the memory of like other I don't know

784
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: how it works, but whatever, Ripley also somehow she has

785
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 4: memories of herself, but they're from the perspective of the

786
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 4: aliens that like fought her wild so are the aliens psychic? Like,

787
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 4: how do they get the memory is?

788
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 3: I think maybe it's like a hive mind.

789
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 4: This is very venerable.

790
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 3: They all are experience, very very very this is the

791
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 3: next video, I say, how Alien Resurrection shaped.

792
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 4: Okay, So mercenaries arrive on the Arega. They're here to

793
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 4: deliver prisoners that are going to be used as incubators

794
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 4: for the alien eggs for to create more aliens. Annelie

795
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 4: Call played by Winona Ryder, decides like, Hey, this is

796
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 4: a really fucked up thing that's happening here. They're using

797
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 4: humans to get they're using aliens. And also the aliens

798
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 4: are like a super weapon and if they get out,

799
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 4: it would be really crazy. We can't let this happen.

800
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 4: But of course, eventually the aliens escape from where they're

801
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 4: being research and actually this way, I thought, this is

802
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: kind of like my favorite part of the movie is like,

803
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 4: so they've got these two aliens, they were running tests

804
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 4: on them, and then the aliens can't get out because

805
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 4: like every time they approach the glass or approach the walls,

806
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 4: like they get shot with this like very very cold

807
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 4: like gas. And so one of the aliens. The aliens

808
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 4: are really smart guys, how often do we have to

809
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 4: say it? They're like, wait a second, we have acid blood,

810
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 4: and they one of the aliens kills the other one

811
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 4: who just like lets itself get killed, and the blood

812
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 4: builts the floor and then it jumps through the floor

813
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 4: and gets out into the of the facility. Now we

814
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 4: should mention again, whalen u Tani has been researching these

815
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 4: aliens for two centuries.

816
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 3: They know about acid blood. I feel like it should

817
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 3: be like having a guy the acid blood melted.

818
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 4: Guys, you know about the acid blood, really, you definitely know. Anyway,

819
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 4: a queen alien containing some of Ripley's human DNA gives

820
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 4: birth human like birth because it has like a uterus

821
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 4: like a human to a almost funny looking human alien

822
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 4: hundred that looks like Rosie.

823
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

824
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 4: Do you agree with me on this looks like Pumpkinhead.

825
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 4: I do agree Pumpkinhead from the titular villain from Pumpkinhead,

826
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 4: the film, which also stars alien star Dun Dunn Lance Henrickson.

827
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:29,479
Speaker 3: He's back.

828
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: He's connected six degrees of Lance Emrickson in the alien universe.

829
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: It does look like Pumpkinhead. They did not deliver the

830
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: new cool Alien design when it came to that little guy. Also,

831
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe this is one of those like

832
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: weird social Internet constructs, but I swear to God, Like

833
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,959
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I thought when Ona Ryder

834
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: was like her door or something in this movie, or

835
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: her or something, And then when I rewatched it, I

836
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: was like, that is definitely so like if you get

837
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 1: fire five vibes from the Mercenaries and from like the design.

838
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 4: That might be because Joss Whedon wrote this terrible fucking

839
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 4: script this movie. It's so bad, but it's the worst

840
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 4: looking of the Alien movies by far.

841
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 3: At least Alien three.

842
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: Every few years with Alien three, hence why I own

843
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: it on bloomin laser disc that I just bought recently

844
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: from a meeba in la It's like every few years

845
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: I reconsider it because there's it's like a visual, there's

846
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: a visual, a choice that David Fincher made. It's very strange,

847
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: it's very dreary, it's slow burn. It has this weird

848
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: religious kind of subtext to it. But it is, I

849
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: have to say, sadly, quite a boring movie. But at

850
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: least it has vibes. Alien four Resurrection does not have

851
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: vibes and does not live up to a movie that

852
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: has both Gorney Weaver, and.

853
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 4: It looks sadly like a very cheap film. It does

854
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 4: not look expensive or good at all. It does have

855
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 4: what I consider to be one of the most iconic

856
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 4: basketball scenes in movies in which the Mercenaries.

857
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 3: This is the Mercenaries encounter with the cat super Ripley.

858
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 4: So super Ripley again, remember has the alien DNA, and

859
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 4: she's like practicing basketball and her game is like Peau

860
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 4: Charles Barkley, Like she just like drives to the hoop

861
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 4: of dunks, that's what. And then of course there's this

862
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 4: really amazing shot where she's like walking away from the

863
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 4: basket and she shoots a basket over her head and

864
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 4: it goes in and she actually made that shot. That's

865
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 4: like the take that's in the ideas for actually.

866
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 3: Making the shot is so good you can't believe it.

867
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: It's like that Catwoman scene with Michelle Pipa where she

868
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: gets all the heads off with the whips. It's one

869
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: of those things where it just becomes a legendary scene

870
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: that you never believe was done without cg And yeah,

871
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: it was Sigourney Weave. I continue, you can go queen,

872
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm the queen.

873
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 4: Go on YouTube and see like the outtake. It's not

874
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 4: an outtake, it's Ron Perlman like reacts the way any

875
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 4: person would react to that by just going, oh my god.

876
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 4: And he thought for a second that he had ruined

877
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 4: the take because he says it like right after it

878
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 4: goes in, But there was enough space there for them

879
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 4: to like cut anyway, go watch it on YouTube. It's

880
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 4: really funny.

881
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 1: It's cool.

882
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 4: So Ripley manages to launch the alien queen into space

883
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 4: by melting a window with her acid blood.

884
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 3: Of course, again Acid.

885
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 4: Thought about, like, we gotta ask improve this entire facility.

886
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 4: The mercenaries and Ripley escaped the Orega, which crashes into Earth.

887
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 4: Oh but it does explode, so maybe like all the

888
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 4: aliens and alien research are fine. And then the mercenaries

889
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 4: are like, where should we go? And then Ripley is like,

890
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know. I'm like two weeks old. Yeah,

891
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 4: I don't, like, I don't know anything, and then the

892
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 4: movie's over. The movie is so fucking dumb. It's so dumb,

893
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 4: and that brings us to the chronological end of the

894
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 4: alien universe. As we know it now again. Alien Romulus

895
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 4: coming to theaters near you soon coming takes place between

896
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 4: Alienen and Alienens, So that'll be very interesting to see.

897
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: Yes, very interesting.

898
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: And it's Fetti Alvarez, who's like a don't Breathe the

899
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: Evil Dad remake. That man knows how to make a

900
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: scary movie. So I'm excited to see what happens.

901
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 4: One question I have for you that I think is,

902
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 4: listen this to your point, they did do a surprising

903
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 4: amount of like lore building in this and specifically in

904
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 4: like the Alien versus President, really wild. Yeah, the overall

905
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 4: like world building is quite spotty. Like there's a lot

906
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 4: of un answered questions, and there's a lot of things

907
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 4: that don't line up. And here's one of my biggest ones,

908
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 4: and we don't really ever get the answer. Why were

909
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 4: the engineers gonna wipe out Earth other than the Jesus?

910
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 3: Other than Jesus.

911
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: Well, I do think you make a good point. I'm

912
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: sure that Ridley Scott was planning to make the Jesus

913
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: think canon for some reason. These old directors from this

914
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: error of Action, they love Jesus.

915
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 3: Poor Verhoven's the same, he loves Jesus.

916
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: If you watch his very entertaining lesbian nonsplitation movie Benedetta.

917
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 3: It's about like a nun.

918
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: In eighteenth Centuary Rome, you know, who begins having these visions.

919
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: But when she has visions of Jesus, she's having visions

920
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: of like Hunky like Action Star honest Watch, Neega Jesus.

921
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: It's like some of the most outrageous stuff. I don't

922
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 1: know why they love Jesus, but why were they gonna

923
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: wipe us out? Probably, you know, some kind of like

924
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: Godzilla esque. The engineers saw that we were destroying the Earth,

925
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: and they decided the best thing to do, or they

926
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: wanted to terraform Earth and take it over and use

927
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: it as a breeding ground for these aliens, which would

928
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: become like weapons if they wanted to take over other planets.

929
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: But I think Prometheus kind of messes us up because

930
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: Prometheus adds in the lore of like they are the creators,

931
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: they are where the god mythology comes from. So then

932
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: that takes on a lot of a heavier weight of

933
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: kind of why they would want to destroy us.

934
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 4: I guess part of me wonders so that you find

935
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 4: out that the planet that they go to in Prometheus,

936
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 4: like or at least, the supposition from our science friends

937
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,240
Speaker 4: in the story is that this is like a bioweapons facility,

938
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 4: so maybe like, yeah, maybe it's like the two ingredients

939
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:54,439
Speaker 4: of the weapon, like Earth is where the incubators are human,

940
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 4: they have the actual weapons stuff. Honestly, that would be

941
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,919
Speaker 4: the smartest way to do it, seeing how Ireland this yeah,

942
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 4: these this weapon is is to like have them separate

943
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 4: and then combine them later at some other place somewhere.

944
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 4: Would they be fighting? Yeah, why would they need this weapon?

945
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 4: I guess that's the other thing, Like who were they

946
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 4: scared of? Like the predators, But like the predators don't

947
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 4: really feel like that's big a threat, not really a

948
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 4: formidable threat killing one engineer, Like the engineers could just

949
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 4: like step on or like kill like one engineers like

950
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 4: big fucking deal.

951
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also as well, the predators, I feel like they're

952
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: always just willing to like team up with someone thanks

953
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: to the later law. So I feel like the energy

954
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: engineers could have just been like, let's not be beefing, bro, Like,

955
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: let's just be cool. I won't make a bioweapon to

956
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: kill you if you just chill out a bit. But

957
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: you know what, that's the interesting thing. I've been thinking

958
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: a lot about prequels because of House the Dragon, which

959
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: I believe is currently up there for me for like

960
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: one of the greatest prequels that we've ever gotten, the

961
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: way that the TV series decided to adapt Fire and Blood.

962
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: And actually, like, prequels are so complex because you do

963
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: start to build in all this law that was never

964
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: intended in the original films, you know, so with Alien

965
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: versus Predator, in these movies that are so far away

966
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: from really being connected to like the original Alien, but

967
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: because they start technically before you are watching a prequel,

968
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: and if you're a nerd like us, you can't help

969
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: connecting those things together. So you do start asking these

970
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: questions about how these things all connect. And I do

971
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: still think with Alien and Predator now both under the

972
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: Disney banner after the twentieth Century Fox acquisition, I do

973
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: think that we will probably get another Alien Predator movie

974
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: in our time that is more concerned with the Ridley

975
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: Scott style law, because it's just such an enjoyable matchup.

976
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 3: But you make a good.

977
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: Point that really, in general, the Predators, I think the

978
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: reason they focus on humans is because they're not actually

979
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: that good peoples like they could go to the engineers,

980
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: but in that they're like, oh, I'll just see what

981
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: happens if I kill a human, Like, I'm.

982
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 4: Sure that's so far? Are they like the predators trophies

983
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 4: that they give like humans? It's always like a flintlock pistol,

984
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 4: a spirit? Can I get something from elsewhere in the

985
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 4: get like give me an alien weapon?

986
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? Could I have?

987
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, like, could you get something like a

988
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 4: gun or something? This is what I could fucking go

989
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 4: to a museum.

990
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: But no, they dude, they don't want to give it

991
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: to you because then you could kill them because they're

992
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: not that good they're gonna give you Like they're like,

993
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: make sure you give them up and that's at least

994
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years old, or he might be

995
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: able to take us out.

996
