9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 3: Last year, when Alien Romulus arrived in theaters, we did

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: speed recaps of the entire franchise, but with Alien Earth

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,559

00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,640

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 4: So here we go, Alien Franchise recap in chronological order.

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 5: Wow, fictional chronological.

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: Order, chronological fictional honor, which is our favorite way to

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: do recap.

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 4: We begin with nineteen nineties Predator two. That's right, Predator two.

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: Woo Wow. The crowd goes wild.

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Okay, let's precede this by saying that both Jason and

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: I shed a deep love for this movie when we

21
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: with children.

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: We love this movie, but it is.

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: A very problematic movie when you watch it again.

24
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 4: Hid watching it in the modern day, there's it definitely

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: raises some red flags. We open in Los Angeles. The

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: year is nineteen ninety seven. Los Angeles is slightly faturistic.

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: The Los Angeles is racked by hyper violent gang violence

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: between two, yes, very racially problematic, depictions of Colombian and

29
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: Jamaican gangs that are at each other's necks end. This

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: violence attracts the attentions of a predator who's like, oh,

31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: I love violence.

32
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, these guys are killing each other.

33
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: That I will kill the ones who are killing the

34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: most because I'm a predator. That's what I love to

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 4: do is kill the most dangerous one.

36
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, and then I'll be like the best killer

37
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: in downtown LA specifically.

38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 5: So the alien, just.

39
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 4: As racking up bodies, cuts a bloody swath through both

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: of these gangs. LAPD Officer Mike Harrigan played by Danny Glover.

41
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 4: Huh that, Glover, Why were you cost in this movie?

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I love it. He is too

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: old for this shit in this movie.

44
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: He does you don't want to be able.

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: To ashier suits in this than you would expect from

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: the Lethal Weapons series.

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: Huh.

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: So he's investigating the gang violence and he finds himself

49
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 4: in pursuit of the Predator, and of course nobody believes,

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: you know, he's getting all these reports, all this like

51
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 4: Invisible Killer.

52
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 5: It's weird.

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: It wasn't a man, it was a monster or whatever.

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: Towards the end of the film, as Harrogan is in

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: pursuit of this predator, the Predator goes to its ship

56
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: that it's hidden and as it you know, goes in

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: there to like restock on ammo et cetera, and like

58
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: treat its wounds, and we see among the Predator's trophies

59
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: is a xenomorph skull on the wall. And let me

60
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: tell you, in the pre internet era, when I saw

61
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 4: this as a kid and saw the alien style, I

62
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 4: was like, my mind literally exploded. But it's all I

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: could talk about.

64
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 6: You don't understand the aliens exist in the Predator universe.

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 6: I've never heard of such a.

66
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: Cross this game. Yeah.

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Literally, I think for me this was probably also my

68
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: first crossover movie. And then I think the second one

69
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: was like I don't know, Frandy in Hell Freddie goes

70
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: to Hell and at.

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: The end he pulls down I mean that.

72
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: I think those are the two memories I have of like,

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: oh shit, like something's gonna happen.

74
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: So Harrigan kills the predator with its own like little weapon.

75
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: It's the Frisbee weapon.

76
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: And then a group of predators who I guess have

77
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: been like observing, appear and they take their fellow predators

78
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 4: corpse back with them to put it on the ship,

79
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 4: and they give Harrigan like an old like revolutionary war

80
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 4: pistol as.

81
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 5: A good job. All right, do you peace?

82
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: Next movie Alien Versus Predator two thousand and four.

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 5: The year is a year is two thousand and four.

84
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: Charles Whaland played by Lance Henrickson that you played Bishop,

85
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: the synthetic humanoid Bishop in Aliens and other roles which

86
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: we will get to in the Alien franchise, is the

87
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 4: CEO of Whalen Industries, and he sends a crack team

88
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: of international scientists and mercenaries to a recently discovered pyramid

89
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 4: which is under the Antarctic ice. Now the pyramid turns

90
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: out to be a predator like hunting temple, and it

91
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: turns out.

92
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 5: How do they build it?

93
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: Because they're the space faring highly advanced hunters And it

94
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: turns out.

95
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 5: They're just like SPC the predators. Now, it turns out.

96
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: The predators taught human beings how to build pyramids because

97
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 4: I guess people couldn't like figure out the triangle shape.

98
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: Like they were like they were like, this is a

99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: two complex. What wo baby, I barely just got the

100
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: wheel going. I don't know what's going.

101
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 4: So predator culture apparently considers the xenomorph like the ultimate prey,

102
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 4: like the most dangerous thing you can hunt.

103
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 5: Right, So every one.

104
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: Hundred years, the predator contestants come to Earth to hunt

105
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: xenomorphs specifically hatched from sacrificial human beings, and this alien

106
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: queen that they have like frozen in the pyramid. And

107
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: this is like the predator version of the Olympics, right,

108
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: It's a big deal. And the scientists and the mercenaries

109
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 4: get all caught up in this competition and they're like,

110
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: we have to help the predators win because the aliens

111
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 4: if they overrun, you know, the predators, they'll like wild

112
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 4: on Earth and just kill everybody or use them as

113
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 4: you know, egg hatching incubators. The predators give Arctic guide

114
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: Lex played by snal A than a spear is a

115
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 4: gift and after this is after the predators defeat the aliens, uh,

116
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: they then get in the ship with one of their

117
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: fallen comrades named Scar and they take off, and then.

118
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 5: Soon after they take off, an.

119
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 4: Alien predator hybrid bursts from the dead predator's chest. Now

120
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: you would, after several centuries of dealing with these creatures,

121
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: that the predators would like X ray everybody that they designed.

122
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 5: Take that does with that, I.

123
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: Feel like to make sure they don't really think, y

124
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: know what these things do.

125
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 5: And you're still like, yeah, yeah, don't even check it.

126
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: Just bring it right on.

127
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: Just put him on the ship. He's fine. Definitely didn't

128
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: get that.

129
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: Brings us to two thousand and sevens Alien Predator Requiem,

130
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: which occurs in the same year as Alien vers Predat

131
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: two thousand and four, happens in fact immediately following the events.

132
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: So right after the predators get in their ship and

133
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 4: take off to fly back to their home planet, the

134
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: pret alien, which is now hatched, it grows at a

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: fantastic rate, as we often see that these creatures do,

136
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: and immediately fucking goes ham and it causes the predator

137
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 4: home ship to crash into Gunnis in Colorado. Ah, Yes,

138
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: Gunnis in Colorado's poor town doesn't know what it's in for.

139
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: The Xenomorphs then go fucking crazy and they start, you know,

140
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 4: reproducing using humans as hosts, going nuts. A Predator champion

141
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: back on the Predator homeworld gets the distress signal and

142
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: it's like, fuck this, I'm going there alone.

143
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: If He's like, if you want to jump and I'm.

144
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: Going to wipe out all the xenomorphs on Earth.

145
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: Now things get really chaotic and crazy, so much so

146
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: that the military like immediately gets involved and they decide,

147
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: we can't we can't let this spread any further. Let's

148
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 4: nuke gunnison, a thing you've seen in a million movie Outbreak, the.

149
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 5: Blob, et cetera.

150
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 4: So, but I think it's actually like quite a reasonable

151
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 4: thing to do in this particular case.

152
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: Jason's like, in this case.

153
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: You go to do I feel like I feel like

154
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: they're they're not thinking about the fact that in the

155
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: canon of these kind of movies, if you nuke some creature,

156
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: it usually just becomes giant. So I would definitely be

157
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: thinking of the Godzilla potentials of the mutation, But I

158
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: still understand the intention.

159
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: It's pretty like you must imagine like the president would

160
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: have had to have been briefed Sally, Okay, mister President.

161
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 4: So what we've got is a parasitic alien race species

162
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 4: that is reproducing very quickly, and they are also being

163
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 4: fought by a humanoid alien race of hunters. Are you

164
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: getting this, sir.

165
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: To alien species you didn't know about until this.

166
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 4: The military nukes Gunisen, killing the predator and the Xenomorphs.

167
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 4: The Predator's gun is then gifted to miss Utani, who

168
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: does not have a first name in the movie, who

169
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: is the CEO of a Japanese cybernetics and robotics company,

170
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 4: the Utani Corporations. Now we have Wayland and Utani in

171
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: the universe.

172
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: Dude, I have to say the movies that are essentially

173
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: like so derived.

174
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 5: Both these movies are dumb.

175
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: Try to enjoy they are like so dumb, it's so funny,

176
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: how dedicated they have to.

177
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 4: Say they worked really hard, Like can't casting LANDA Hendrickson, Yeah,

178
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: I got you know, being like and they're like, we're

179
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: gonna make cannon manly, You're gonna kid, You're.

180
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: Gonna care about this.

181
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: People will be talking about this, and it's like, people,

182
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: these movies are so dumb, but I gotta they command

183
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: really hard to every single movie having a twist ending

184
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: that is somehow connectically in law.

185
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: These reveals do have an interesting effect on the overall cannon,

186
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: which we will discuss as we get there. Next up

187
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: twenty twelve's Prometheus, The year is twenty eighty nine. Archaeologist

188
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: Elizabeth Shaw and her boyfriend Charlie discover that many ancient

189
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,359
Speaker 4: human cultures have a very similar foundational myth that involves

190
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: very tall aliens from a distant star system. And these

191
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: tall aliens are the engineers who I guess, so life

192
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 4: across the galaxy or something. Peter Whyland, who is very

193
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 4: very very very very old and about to die, Like

194
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 4: any second he's about to die.

195
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: He is about to go. It's happening as his.

196
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: Like video recording is being played to this science team

197
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: that he's put together. He's like, I'm not by the

198
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: time you watch this, I'm gone. So hes an ambitious

199
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: mission to a moon in that particular star system that

200
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: they matched to the cave paintings and different pieces of

201
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 4: art from all those human cultures, and so they're going

202
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 4: to this moon called LVY two twenty three because he

203
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 4: thinks the engineers are there, and mister Whaland wants the

204
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: engineers to tell him how he can like avoid dying,

205
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 4: which is such a fucking come.

206
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: On, just assassin thing to do.

207
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Like, so many of the decisions in these movies are

208
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: so terrible, And it's really funny because once we you know,

209
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: we are doing this in fictional chronological order. So at

210
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: this point, by the time you get to Prometheus, the

211
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: movie is essentially like an MCU filled easter egg for

212
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: the previous alien movies that were released. But at this

213
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: point chronologically you're just like, my friend, what are you doing,

214
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: Like you have to spend this much money, I'm sure

215
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: you could just find.

216
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: A sign to do this instead of going in the

217
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: real world.

218
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 4: PayPal founder Peter Thiel, you know, investor in tech and

219
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 4: all around right wing nut job, has It's been credibly

220
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: reported that he injects himself with like the human blood

221
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: of like young healthy people.

222
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, you.

223
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: Know they're doing crazy in the real world.

224
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, okay.

225
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: The journey take to LV two twenty three takes them

226
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: four years. They're in cryo sleep the whole time. Cash

227
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 4: While they're in cryo sleep, they're watched over by David,

228
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: who is a synthetic a humanoid that was designed by

229
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: mister Whyland. On LV two twenty three, the team finds

230
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: like a ton of artifacts from the engineers, including all

231
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 4: these jars of like black goo that turns out to

232
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 4: be a bio weapon. David takes like a drop played

233
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: very creepily by Michael Fastbat takes a drop of the

234
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: black goo, and he infects Charlie with it. Charlie then

235
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: has sex with Elizabeth and impregnates her unknowingly with this

236
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 4: very fast growing alien fetus, just as David wanted. She asks, yeah,

237
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 4: as it's growing, like she's in more and more physical distress,

238
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: and they do a scan and he's like says, very.

239
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 5: Creepy, oh, you've got this alien in you.

240
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: And she's like, well, let's get it out. And he's like, well,

241
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 4: we don't have the stuff, we don't have any way

242
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: to do that here, and we yeah, yeah, yeah, Bat,

243
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: let's just seeze you take you home.

244
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: Okay, seems like nothing.

245
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: Very Elizabeth breaks into Charlie's thron's cabin on the ship

246
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: and uses her advanced like medical machine of which only

247
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 4: a dozen were made, and she does like an abortion

248
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 4: on herself, removing this like wriggling squid like alien. It's

249
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 4: really gross, it's really great super so can we just

250
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: say you mentioned Shaly's there on This movie has like

251
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 4: a wild cast is Yourselba Charlie's then Michael Fastbender, like

252
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: Wembridley Scott said he was coming back the original director

253
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: of Alien.

254
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: Everyone was like, I'm jumping on that ship. Like there's

255
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: some very.

256
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: Iconic images from this movie, like Idris Alba smoking a

257
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: Christmas tree that I feel actually have almost more longevity

258
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: than the movie.

259
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: It did inspire many important memes.

260
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: So we learned that LV two twenty three was an

261
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: engineer like bioweapon facility. They were making this bioweapon and

262
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: that they had planned to release it on Earth. Non

263
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: canon sources, namely Ridley Scott, who directed this film, says

264
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: that in his mind, they wanted to send the goo.

265
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 4: They made the decision to send the good to Earth

266
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: like two thousand years ago, and it was because the

267
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: humans had killed their emissary, the engineer emissary that sent

268
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 4: to Earth to tell them to like chill out and

269
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: stop being so violent, and that was Jesus. So Jesus

270
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: was an engineer, but then he didn't really put it

271
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 4: in so that credible kind of like the under that's

272
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 4: the subtext, man, that's straight from Ridley Scott.

273
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: The movie is very heavily invested in the religious and God,

274
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: and part of the reason that Elizabeth even goes on

275
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: it is just because she's religious and she wants to meet God.

276
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: She wants to understand faith and where she comes from.

277
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: That is incredible and I had no idea that was

278
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: part of the canon, So thank you for that one,

279
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: Ridley Scott and Jason.

280
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 4: And now we mentioned that mister Oylan was like really

281
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 4: really old and about to die, and by the time

282
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 4: they land on LVT twenty three, everybody thought he was dead,

283
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 4: but surprise, he's actually alive, and David goes to get

284
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 4: him from wherever he was high.

285
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 5: He was like hiding in the in the ship the

286
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 5: whole time.

287
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: He had like a secret a secret.

288
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: False bottom, like in a desk or something.

289
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 4: So they get him out and David, you know, goes

290
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: with him, and Charlie's then sorry, Meredith Vickers, I'll call

291
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: it very character name. And Elizabeth and I go to

292
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: the engineership and then David wakes up an engineer and

293
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 4: he can talk to them because he's been studying proto

294
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: into a European this ancient language, and so he translates

295
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: for mister Whyland and basically says, hey, I know we

296
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: just woke you up, but like my boss wants to

297
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: know how he cannot die. And the engineer is like,

298
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 4: you came all the way here for this, and he

299
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: goes crazy. He rips David's head off. He's so pissed off,

300
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 4: He's like that, he rips.

301
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 5: David's head off.

302
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 4: He bashes mister Whyland in the head with David's head,

303
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 4: and then you know, it goes. He tries to take off,

304
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 4: but Elizabeth, you know, radios to Adris Elba and is like,

305
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 4: we need to crash the ship or else, like he's

306
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: gonna send the Black pep to Earth. The ship crashes.

307
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: Now the engineer is like chasing Elizabeth. It chases her

308
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 4: through the human ship, where all of a sudden, Elizabeth's

309
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: xenomorph baby that looks like now like a huge squid yeah,

310
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 4: math subdues the engineer and impregnates it, like puts its

311
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 4: like egg overpositor into the Engineer's mouth, which is like

312
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: super super gross. Elizabeth then recovers David's head and body

313
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 4: and is like, hey, I want to go to the

314
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 4: engineer Homeworld.

315
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 5: I need answers.

316
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: I want to find out why they're going to wipe

317
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 4: out humanity with the black Goo, and will you take me?

318
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 4: And David's like, you know what, fuck it, let's do it.

319
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: After this a xenomore, not a full alien as we

320
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: know from like alien and Aliens, but like more kind

321
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 4: of like certainly one that looks like right, it's getting there.

322
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: It bursts out of the Engineer's chest. Uh, and then

323
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: later off this is kind of like this is not

324
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 4: in the movie, but it's part of like the Off

325
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: Cannon and other fictional materials. Whaland Industries goes bankrupt because

326
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: mister Whalen put all his money. They flopped that to

327
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 4: just Coromedia's mission, and it is then acquired by the

328
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 4: Utani Corporation, creating the Whaland Utani Corporation that brings us

329
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 4: to Alien Covenant. The year is twenty one oh four.

330
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 4: The Whaland Utani ship Covenant, carrying several thousand Space Columnists,

331
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: is on its way to Orgie six Walter and Advanced

332
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 4: Synth using the David format, but with all of David's

333
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: like creative abilities that human beings found like really just

334
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: concerning removed manages things during the long cryo sleep of

335
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 4: the crew and all the colonists. But then tragedy strikes.

336
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 4: There's this neutrino burst and Walt tries to wake everybody

337
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 4: up to get them out of their tubes because the

338
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 4: ship is damaged, but Captain James Franco sadly dies in

339
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: his cryo tube.

340
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: Rip to that captain, rip to him.

341
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 4: Now, the crew while it's fixing the ship, gets a

342
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 4: distress signal from a nearby planet called Planet four, and

343
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: the new captain, Captain Orum, is like, let's go investigate.

344
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 4: So they investigate and they find out that this distress signal,

345
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 4: which came in the form of take Me Home, Country

346
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: Roads by John Denver in Christ, is from a planet

347
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: Planet four that is like completely like earthlike it can

348
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: it's got like water. They live there, and so the

349
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: whole crew is like, you know what, we just saw

350
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: the captain like get burned alive in his tube. Nobody

351
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 4: wants to get back for seven years. What if this

352
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 4: is the answer to all our problems? We just like

353
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 4: do this, We just like stay here. Daniels, who is

354
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 4: James Franco's widow now and is the second in command

355
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: is like, wait, wait, wait, it seems a little too perfect,

356
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 4: doesn't it, Like why didn't we ever we do all

357
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 4: these scans, which is how we found six, but now

358
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: there's this closer planet and we never saw it, and

359
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 4: it's like perfect, Like this doesn't seem any weird anybody,

360
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 4: And everybody's like shut up, no. So they go to

361
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 4: investigation and these are the dumbest fucking scientists ever. So

362
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 4: they go down to investigate this earth like planet and

363
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: they go with like literally no ppe, no helmets, no breathers,

364
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 4: nothing that we can just bring. Well, I guess they're

365
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: just like sitting on stuff and touching things and like

366
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 4: you don't see them drink the water, but they might

367
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 4: as well be, because they're just like breathing the error.

368
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 4: They're raw dogging this fucking planet and shocking Goose because

369
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 4: what they get infected by like sports the black goo, right,

370
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 4: And of course they then become hosts for xeno Morphs.

371
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 4: By the way, we also see that this there's a

372
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: city here and it's full of like dead engineers. This

373
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 4: is like the engineer home World. So one of the

374
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 4: infected team members gets taken back aboard the ship the covenant,

375
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: which is crazy. You just bring him back on he's

376
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 4: got he's sick with Why would you.

377
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: Do it every time? They are not following.

378
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: It's kind of like just keep him in quarantine. They

379
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: were not prepared whoever put together this team of colonists,

380
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: and they were not prepared to be colonizing the.

381
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 4: Rest of the group like remains on the planet's surface

382
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 4: with another infected guy. They then get attacked by the

383
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 4: xeno morphs that were one of which was born from

384
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 4: the infected person. But then they're saved by David Damon's

385
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: here dun dum.

386
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 2: It turns out he's.

387
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 4: David wiped out all the engineers by like dropping their

388
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 4: black goo bombs on them, and he's spent all the time,

389
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 4: like whatever it is eleven years later or something, trying

390
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 4: to perfect the perfect zenomorph because he loves making things.

391
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: He just loves this. You get some deeply wild moments.

392
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: I remember sitting in the movie theater in Long Beach,

393
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: where I believe I went with people from my old

394
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: comic shop that used to be on the waterfront at

395
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: Long Beach, and we went there and there is like

396
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: a five minute scene in this movie where one of

397
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: the Michael Fassbenders is like playing yeah, and then they're

398
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: like gonna kiss and like it is legitimately one of

399
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: the weirdest movies. Jason's Fantastic Recap has always is just

400
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: zooming through this, making it seem far more action packed

401
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: than it is.

402
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: This is like such a weirdly long.

403
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Atmospheric like gothic movie, and the two micro fast mendez

404
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: are just having the wildest thought.

405
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 4: So David then kills Walter in the scene that Rosie

406
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 4: was just talking about after the flute scene, basically tricks

407
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: him and like rips something out of his neck and

408
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 4: fucking drops him dead. But Walter is a significantly upgraded model,

409
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: and he like fixes himself somehow off camera and comes

410
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 4: back and he takes out David.

411
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 5: Walter Daniels again.

412
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 4: James Franco's widow then flee back to the Covenant ship,

413
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: but then it turns out that the xenomorph hatched out

414
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 4: of the sick guy that they brought him to the

415
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,239
Speaker 4: fucking ship is now loose on the ship. So uh,

416
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 4: David Daniels and Danny McBride worked together to kill the alien. Hey,

417
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 4: and as Daniels is being put back into cryo sleep by.

418
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: This bit is actually genuinely terrifying, and I still think

419
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: about how impact.

420
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 5: This and is was fucking great.

421
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 4: So Daniels has been put back into cry sleep by Walter,

422
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: and she says, hey, will you help me build my

423
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: log cabin earlier in the movie of building a log cabin,

424
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 4: and he doesn't get the reference, and she realizes with

425
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 4: horror that it's actually David, that's not Walter, and she

426
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: but she can't do anything now because the go to

427
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: sleep gases are filling the tube, and she goes to

428
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 4: fucking sleep. David then throws up to face huggers like

429
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 4: in little.

430
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 5: Plastic cash pill capsules, puts.

431
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 4: Them in the human embryo freezer, and then radio's mission

432
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 4: control back on Earth and says, hey, sorry, everybody died

433
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: and I'm trying to carry out the machine on my own.

434
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: We'll be back in just a moment after a word

435
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 4: from our friends at whalen Utani. Whalen Utani making the

436
00:24:47,200 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 4: galaxy better, and we're back.

437
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 5: That brings us too.

438
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Alien nineteen seventy nine's Alien. The movie that's started

439
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 4: all the year is twenty one twenty two The Wayland

440
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: Utanni Mining ship Nostromo receives a distress signal from planet

441
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 4: LV four twenty six. They go to investigate. They find

442
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 4: an alien ship. On the ship, there is a long

443
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 4: dead engineer still in a jump seat with like the

444
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 4: trademark burst out of its chest. A face hugger hatches

445
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 4: and attaches itself to the face of one of the

446
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 4: crew members named Kane, who is then taken back aboard

447
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 4: the ship by the fucking Captain Dallas played by Tom Scarrett.

448
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 5: I will say this is.

449
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 4: The most effective like breaking quarantine scene because Ripley Ellen Ripley,

450
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 4: played by Sigourney Weaver, the hero of the film, is

451
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: like you come, don't is like hard.

452
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: No, She is the safety officer, don't you.

453
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 5: Says I'm not letting you in.

454
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 4: You have to be there for you have to stay

455
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 4: in quarantine for twenty four hours. But it's Ash the

456
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 4: who then turns out to be Sayna, a human who,

457
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 4: as we will later learn, has other motives, lets them

458
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 4: aboard anyway. They get a board, and it's horrific. You know,

459
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: everybody's horrified by this faceoger on Kane. But then eventually

460
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 4: the face oger lets go and dies and everything seems fine, Yeah,

461
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 4: until they're all having a wonderful dinner before going back

462
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 4: and cry to sleep, and Kine is all of a

463
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 4: sudden in immense distressed, and that happens the Xenomorph burst

464
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 4: out of his chest to general screen runs across the

465
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 4: horrifying moment.

466
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: Hilarious and certainly one of.

467
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 5: The most just an iconic cinema moment.

468
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: Honestly, Yeah, this is still just like after watching all

469
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: these movies in this order, when you get here, the

470
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: pice's fautiful, the gorgeous set, the production design hr guyget

471
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: you can.

472
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: Just feel how tactile and.

473
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: Terrifying it really is compared to some of the more

474
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: modern versions.

475
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: And this scene is still so iconic and so.

476
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 5: Like this movie.

477
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: Obviously there's some dated things about it, but overall seen

478
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 4: the scene, just like looking at them walking through hallways

479
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 4: and stuff, it looks as good as anything need today.

480
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: It looks absolutely Yeah, and it's also a movie.

481
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: About like working classes.

482
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, literally about work. It's about on the ship, like.

483
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 2: It's about blue collar guys.

484
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: It's so interesting in so many different ways that you

485
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: know this many years later still feel really relevant and cool.

486
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 4: So the Zeno Mooreph quickly grows to this to the

487
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 4: size of a very large.

488
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 5: Human being, and it begins.

489
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 4: Off crewmembers one at a time, including the captain, who

490
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: volunteers himself to go like try and flush this thing

491
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 4: out of the air ducks because clearly he's feeling like

492
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: shit because this is all his fucking fault, like he

493
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 4: broke corts me.

494
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: Just listened.

495
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 4: Now, Ripley discovers that Ash, the science officer, plans to

496
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 4: return to Earth with the Xenomorph and had in fact

497
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 4: been kind of directed to steer them towards this distress signal.

498
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 4: And because the company whyl and Utani that they all

499
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 4: work for, really, really really wants this xenomorph ip for

500
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 4: like their weapons divisions, sure like their healthcare division, for

501
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 4: all sorts of divisions that they have under their banner.

502
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: It really is a killing machine. And also, I want

503
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: to say this.

504
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: Is leads to another one of the most terrifying scenes

505
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: when Ash attacks Ripley.

506
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 4: It's so simple, but I remember being so disconcerted. First

507
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 4: of all, I saw this scene. I was not allowed

508
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: to watch the movie. I was probably like five, and

509
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 4: my parents had it on VHS and they were watching it,

510
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 4: and I watched it from the top of the stairs.

511
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 5: I watched the whole fucking thing.

512
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 4: This scene really bothered me because there's something so weird

513
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 4: about the way he tries, like he rolls up a

514
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: magazine and tries to stuff it in her mouth, And

515
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: to this day, I've never seen somebody try to kill

516
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: somebody like that, and it really just really bothered me.

517
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 4: The imagery was so disturbing. Anyway, Ash tries to kill Ripley,

518
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 4: but then is stopped by the surviving crew members, and

519
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 4: we discover that Ash is this synthetic human with like

520
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: milky blood.

521
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: Oh oh, so creepy.

522
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 4: Eventually it gets down to just Ripley because the alien

523
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 4: kills all these crew members. She and the ship cat

524
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 4: Jones said, the Stromo is self destuck, and they get

525
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 4: on a lifeboat and they launch and then Stromo explodes

526
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 4: and everything's fucking fine. No, it's not, because the alien

527
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: is hiding on the lifeboat.

528
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 5: They're really smart, these aliens.

529
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: They are very clever.

530
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 4: Ripley gets into a spacesuit, she opens the airlock, shoots

531
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: the alien in the chest with a harpoon, sending it

532
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: out of the airlock, and then when it tries to

533
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 4: crawl back onto the hull of the ship. It ends

534
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: up like inside one of the engines of the ship,

535
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: and she hits the thruster and it burns up, and

536
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 4: then she goes in a cry of sleep at Jones

537
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 4: and everything is happily ever after, right.

538
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: Of course, normal problems. She escaped with the cat. That's

539
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: all she needed.

540
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: That brings us to coming to a theater near you. Romulus,

541
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: set between the events of Alien and the next movie

542
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: in the series Aliens from nineteen eighty Aliens, Now Aliens

543
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 4: takes place in the year twenty one to seventy nine.

544
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 4: Ripley has been asleep for fifty seven years when she

545
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 4: is discovered by a salvage ship.

546
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 5: She returns to Earth, but all hope of.

547
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 4: Like restarting like a normal life are scuttled because her

548
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: credit score is absolutely fucking shit housed because whyland Utani

549
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 4: considers her financially liable unbelievable for the destruction of the

550
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 4: now Stroma, which she had to do, And she tries

551
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: to tell them, well, there's this fucking alien, there's a cenomorph.

552
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 4: It killed the whole crewude, and the shot whatever, We've

553
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 4: never heard of anything like that.

554
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we know, yeah, what are you talking about?

555
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 4: Utani company, And separately, both the Whyland and Utani sides

556
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 4: of the company have been aware, well aware of the

557
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: existence of xenomorphs, saying since the twentieth century, they've known about.

558
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: It, they've been trying to make one.

559
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: Also, I just want to say, you know, this is

560
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: a huge change from Ridley Scott, the original director. Now

561
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: you've got James Cameron. That's two of the biggest directors

562
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: of all time. But I love that James Cameron respected

563
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: that this needed to at least begin by being a

564
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: movie about a blue collar worker getting fucked over by

565
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: a corporation. He was like, that part is really important,

566
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: even if the rest of the movie is going to

567
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: be totally different. I just need people to know I

568
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: remember that that is what made that movie.

569
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 4: And I have to say, you gotta love James Cameron

570
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 4: before the Avatar movies, before this complete CG revolution that

571
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: he undertook, because here's another movie with the production design,

572
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: the practical effects, the sets that looks so tactile and

573
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 4: real and lived in and it looks again, it looks

574
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 4: as good as any movie that will come out like

575
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 4: it just looks fucking great. Anyway, when Wayland loses contact

576
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 4: with their colony, Hadley's Hope on LV four twenty six.

577
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: Why did they stock Alanya Guy? Well, I think they

578
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: knew it. I think they did that.

579
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 5: Honestly, I think they did this.

580
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 4: They did so they strong armed Ripley into going back

581
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: because she's the only person with experience with Xeno Morrison.

582
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 4: She's like, you'll be a consultant, and by the way,

583
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: you'll be completely safe because we're sending you with a

584
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 4: squad of heavily armed colonial marines. These these men and

585
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: women are fucking badasses. They're so buff and they go

586
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: they're fucking professionals.

587
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: There's nothing that can happen to them.

588
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 4: They've kill, kill, kill, and there's nobody better Baby Galaxy

589
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 4: than them. Well, yes there is, because as soon as

590
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 4: they land, the aliens wipe out the fucking Marines like quick,

591
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 4: like ten minutes. There's only a handful of marines, and

592
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: this thrust Ripley, a surviving colonist, this little girl named Nude,

593
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: and a rag tag of marines and one company hack

594
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 4: named Carter Burke into a struggle to survive. They come

595
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 4: up with a plan to nuke the There're just like,

596
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 4: let's get back on our ship.

597
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 5: And fucking nuke. Like what you know, now, Company hack.

598
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 4: Burke disagrees in Gunnissan Company hack Burke is like, now,

599
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 4: hold on, this installation holds a significant dollar value to

600
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 4: the stockholders, not to mention the potential gains to be

601
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 4: made from the alien ip They're like, shut the fuck up, bitch,

602
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 4: shut up where nuke.

603
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 2: They're like, this is alway the problem.

604
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: This is where the problem comes from. You're not taking

605
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: an alien home. It's not Jurassic Park.

606
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 4: It's again, it must be said, they've been trying to

607
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 4: take an alien back to Earth for like one hundred

608
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 4: years at this point. Anyway, this so they ignore him

609
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 4: and they proceed with nuke from orbit plan, which requires

610
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: them to escape back to their ship. But the aliens

611
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 4: fucking go crazy. They kill Company Hack, Carter Burke, and

612
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 4: a bunch of others. Ripley eventually escapes with Newt and

613
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: a bishop the new Synth played by Lance Henrickson, who

614
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 4: you know Ripley has been struggling to kind of trust

615
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 4: up until this time. Yeah, they get back on board

616
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 4: their ship and they are gonna nuke it from orbit,

617
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: but then guess what. It turns out that the alien

618
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 4: queen who Ripley had previously burned up all the eggs,

619
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: all the alien face hugger eggs in front of the queen.

620
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 4: It made the queen super angry. Now she's so pissed.

621
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 4: She attached herself to their jump ship and like was

622
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 4: hiding in the wheel well and now she appears. She

623
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 4: tears Bishop in half. But then Ripley, in one of

624
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 4: the most iconic scenes in movies, Yeah legendary scene, puts

625
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 4: on a loader suit basically a mech suit and beats

626
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 4: the shit out of the queen get away from Yeah bitch.

627
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: How you bitch? Also just need to say, like, the

628
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: queen design is so sick.

629
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: It's really hard to come from a movie like Alien

630
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: where you have someone's literal nightmares. In HL Guy Got

631
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: Coming to life as the xenomov, it shocked people. We

632
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: had no idea of what an alien could look like

633
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: before all that.

634
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 2: Before it had.

635
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: Always been the you know, the the Gray Men kind

636
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: of trope. And then to have to find a new

637
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: way to scare people in the new movie is.

638
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: So well done.

639
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: Even though this is definitely more of an action than

640
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: a sci Fi horror. I do think the Queen design

641
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: goes down as like one of the most badass designs.

642
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 4: And it must be said, Cameron has created two of

643
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 4: the greatest sequels of all time T two and Aliens. Ever,

644
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 4: you know, it's like Godfather too off T two Aliens.

645
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 4: That's like the triumvirate of the greatest sequels of all

646
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 4: time and James Cameron has made two of them.

647
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 5: So yeah, Ripley Jettison's the Queen out into space.

648
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 4: She puts Hicks into cryo sleep, she puts Nude into

649
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 4: cryo sleep, she puts herself into cryo sleep.

650
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 5: And they won. That's it. That's it, We've won.

651
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: We're going back to Thema problems. She's got a nice

652
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: little baby.

653
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 7: Norm She's a kid likenw no young mute.

654
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 4: That brings us to Alien three from nineteen ninety two.

655
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 4: The year is twenty one seventy.

656
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 2: Nine Dun Dun Dum.

657
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: After a fire aboard the marine intergalactic ship causes the

658
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 4: lifeboat to be launched, which contains the cryo tubes of Hicks, Ripley, Newt,

659
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 4: and Bishop. The lifeboat then crashes on a prison planet

660
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 4: inhabited by all male inmates. Only Ripley survives no scratch.

661
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 4: That a face hugger, a face hug that was aboard

662
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 4: the ship also survives. The face hugger then hug wild

663
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 4: one of the inmates dogs, and the dog quickly gives

664
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 4: birth to a really bad looking xenomorph alien hybrid.

665
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, really ugly dog xenom off hybrid.

666
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to stop us that because in

667
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: one of the original scripts this movie was written like

668
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: four or five times before it was made.

669
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 2: It was originally going to be.

670
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: A cow instead of a dog, which I would have

671
00:37:59,080 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 4: loved to see.

672
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: Also, this movie is.

673
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: One of my favorite almost movie scripts, which was the

674
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: original Alien three script was that it was going to

675
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: be set on a planet of monks and the planet

676
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: was entirely wooden, and inside the wooden planet were all

677
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: these tunnels, and you kind of get to see a

678
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: little Instead of monks, you get the prisoners who are

679
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: religious fanatics, and you get some of those tunnels still

680
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: going through the prison planet. But it's not in any

681
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: way as wild as that would have been. This movie

682
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: had true production hell, it went through.

683
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 4: And this is David Fincher's feature film debut. David Fincher

684
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 4: was by this time a very accomplished music video and

685
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 4: commercial director some really like iconic music videos for Madonna

686
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 4: and many many other notables, and did a lot of

687
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 4: ad campaigns for Levi's Nike, et cetera. But this is

688
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 4: his first movie, and he has since he disowned the movie.

689
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: Yes, all three cups.

690
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: He doesn't like the work print, he doesn't like the

691
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: theatrical print, he doesn't like the special edition, he said,

692
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: not for me.

693
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 2: I find that also, this movie really feels like it.

694
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: Was heavily influenced by like a French cinema at the time,

695
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: like the City of Lost Children.

696
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 4: We Have Lost Children, kind of like the breakout film

697
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 4: of the director who directed Alien Resurrection, the next film

698
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 4: in it. Yeah, and it really feels to me like

699
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 4: this was influenced I agree with you by that by Delicatessen.

700
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: It has this kind of weird it's incredibly.

701
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: Monotone like the Yeah, it has like these monotone kind

702
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: of like and it's very slow compared to you know, Aliens.

703
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: And yes, the dog's animal hybrid is notoriously bad in

704
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: this and it actually has there's a very famous scene

705
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: with it's just hands and some black leather gloves and

706
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: they just come down on the screen and everyone's like,

707
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: no human adds.

708
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 4: CG for it, And this is nineteen ninety two, and

709
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 4: you know, by this point it's like the state of

710
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: the art for this kind of CG was again probably

711
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 4: T two and What's the James Cameron.

712
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: Which, by the way was also at the time the

713
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: most expensive underwater deep the Abyss.

714
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 5: So you know, at this time.

715
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 4: The state of the art for this kind of effects

716
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 4: was probably like T two and The Abyss, both by

717
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 4: James Cameron.

718
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 5: By the way, the.

719
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 8: Dog Allian Dog alias Let's go with them, they like

720
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 8: gave it this kind of green sheen, which I think

721
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 8: what they were intending to do was to make it

722
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 8: stand out from these very gray stone hallway backgrounds that stand.

723
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 5: Out from the shadows.

724
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 4: But the issue is it made it look completely not

725
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 4: realistic to the way light works.

726
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, in any way, so it just looks anyway, I

727
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: will say as well. Another interesting thing I learned because

728
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: I watched this on laser disc, so I was like, oh,

729
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: maybe the laser disc lasion is a different cock because

730
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: I've seen many different cots of the Alien movie.

731
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: Because there were just so.

732
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: Many no, But what I did learn is that how

733
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: they did the CG on this so they could see

734
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: what it looked like was they would take a.

735
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 2: Laser disc version of the dailies and then.

736
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: Overlay the CIG on top of the movie to see

737
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: what it would look like.

738
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how they were making it.

739
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: So laser disc actually a very important part of the

740
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: making of this movie. But yeah, it does look like

741
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: the CG was done with laser disc, so that did

742
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: not actually surprise me.

743
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 5: Ripley forms a bond with Clemens.

744
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 4: The prison doctor played by Charles Dance aka Tywon Lanister

745
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 4: Taiwan landis dog alien goes on a fucking hot streak

746
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 4: like killing Sbury. It's just kill Ay, kills the warden

747
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 4: while the warden is giving kills the warden while the

748
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 4: warden is giving like a speech about how no one

749
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 4: should be worried about like the people who've been dying

750
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 4: recently in any rumor that there's like a dragon running

751
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 4: around they.

752
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 5: Killing people's nature.

753
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 4: The dog alien like reaches down from the fucking sea

754
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 4: and just like.

755
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 5: Choose him up. But it doesn't kill Ripley because guess why.

756
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: Huh, oh man, I wonder why it.

757
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 4: With an alien the face hugger got her in the

758
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 4: oh Man so and so remember it bummed out about

759
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: this and she's like, well, I'm gonna kill myself.

760
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 5: I want to die. And the inmates are.

761
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 2: Like, Noah's more, you die.

762
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 5: You have to help us beat this thing because you've

763
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 5: you've done it twice. Now we can't. We need you.

764
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 5: We need your help, you see, and then you can

765
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 5: kill yourself. And she's like okay.

766
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 4: So that she comes up with a plant to like

767
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 4: lure it because they have no weapons on this prison facility,

768
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 4: lure it into it like a furnace facility that they

769
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 4: have where they can dump like molten metal on it

770
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 4: and kill it.

771
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 5: And so they managed to do that.

772
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 4: They dumped the molten metal on it and then just

773
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 4: like terminated too. They like spray it with water which

774
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 4: has this like rapid temperature shift and its it like shatters.

775
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 4: Okay again, just you think this must be one of

776
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 4: the things that bothers Fincher too.

777
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 5: He's like, but they did.

778
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 4: They did an interminator too, and then we're doing it

779
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 4: at the end of the So then Ripley is about

780
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 4: to jump in the furnace. Mission accomplished she wants wants

781
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 4: to kill this turns out she's an alien queen in

782
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 4: her chest. But then a whalen Utani rescue team arrives,

783
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 4: led by mister Bishop, the human creator of Bishop the Synth.

784
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: He's glens Hendrick is back and there and whaling Utani

785
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 4: must be thinking, finally, this is it. We've got it,

786
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 4: We've it actually did it's We've been trying to do

787
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 4: this for two hundred years and now we finally got

788
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 4: a human with a with an alieness and it's an

789
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 4: alien queen. We've got to get this thing back to Earth.

790
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 5: But it doesn't work.

791
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 4: And even though mister Bishop is very very I might

792
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 4: have been persuaded by mister Bishop.

793
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 5: He really puts the charm on. He's like, Ripley, what

794
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 5: are you? Don't you want to go Homely, it's gonna

795
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 5: be great.

796
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 2: You think we couldn't be great. And then she's like

797
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: part of.

798
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 5: The whale of you family like don't do.

799
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 1: That, and she's like, well, my adopted daughter is dead

800
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: and I'm pregnant with the alien baby, so I'm just

801
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: gonna jump into this CG molten metal like.

802
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 5: Jumps into the CG molten metal just.

803
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 4: Like Jesus Christ just as the alien queen burst out

804
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 4: of her chest and she's like like a baby, and

805
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 4: they hit they hit the metal and they burn up

806
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 4: and that's it.

807
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 5: Happily. Ever, after that's.

808
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: It, we just have to take a break to go

809
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: and insert the alien eggs into our human sacrifices so

810
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: we can have xenomorphs ready for you after this.

811
00:44:45,280 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 7: Message, and we're back.

812
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: Finally, Ripley is free from the aliens. Nothing else could happen.

813
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 5: Alien Resurrection nineteen ninety seven the year, but it's been

814
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 5: two hundred years, directed by Jean Pierre Jeunette.

815
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: Still haven't done it. They still haven't.

816
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 5: Directed by French weirdo Jean Pierre Jeanne of Omily fame

817
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 5: and the City of City of Lost Children, City of

818
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 5: Lost Children. Super weird, really fun movie.

819
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 4: I'm not sure he was the correct choice for this film,

820
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 4: but regardless. Whalen Utani scientists a border ship named the

821
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 4: Ariga clone Ripley from a blood sample and they combine

822
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 4: it with xenomorphtine clone Ripley and then grows up to

823
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 4: like adult Ripley in a very short period of time.

824
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 4: Because you know how the aliens do that. They just

825
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 4: grow up and clone Ripley Ye super strong, has acid

826
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 4: blood and also has a very weird psychic link to

827
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 4: the aliens. And also because I guess the xenomorphs have

828
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 4: like a genetic memory, they chair the memory of like

829
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 4: other I don't know how it works, but whatever. Ripley

830
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 4: also somehow she has memories of herself, but they're from

831
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 4: the perspective of the aliens that like fought.

832
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 5: Her wild So are the aliens psychic? Like how do

833
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 5: they get the memory?

834
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 2: I think maybe it's like a hive mind.

835
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 5: This is very venerable.

836
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 2: They all are experience. This is the next video essay

837
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 2: how Alien Resurrection shaped the.

838
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 4: Okay, so mercenaries arrive on the Arega. They're here to

839
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 4: deliver prisoners. They are going to be used as incubators

840
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 4: for the alien eggs for to create more aliens. Evil

841
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 4: Annilie Call played by Winona Ryder decides like, Hey, this

842
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 4: is a really fucked up thing that's happening here. They're

843
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 4: using humans to get the aliens. And also the aliens

844
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 4: are like a super weapon and if they get out

845
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 4: it would be really crazy.

846
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 5: We can't let this happen.

847
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 4: But of course, eventually the aliens escape from where they're

848
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 4: being researched, and actually this way, I thought, this is

849
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 4: kind of like my favorite part of the movie is like,

850
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 4: so they've got these two aliens, they're running tests on them,

851
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 4: and then the aliens can't get out because like every

852
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 4: time they approach the glass or approach the walls, like

853
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 4: they get shot with this like very very cold like gas.

854
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 4: And so one of the aliens, the aliens are really smart, guys,

855
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 4: how often.

856
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 5: Do we have to say it?

857
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 4: They're like, wait a second, we have acid blood, and

858
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 4: they one of the aliens kills the other one who

859
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 4: just like lets itself get killed, and the blood builts

860
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 4: the floor and then it jumps through the floor and

861
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 4: gets out into the the facility. Now we should mention again,

862
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 4: whaleen U Tani has been researching these aliens for two centuries.

863
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 2: They know about it acid blood. I feel like it

864
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 2: should be like having a guy the acid blood melts. Guys.

865
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 4: You know about the acid blood.

866
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: Really, you definitely know.

867
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: A queen alien containing some of Ripley's human DNA gives

868
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 4: birth human like birth because it has like a uterus

869
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 4: like a human.

870
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 5: To a almost funny looking human alien that looks like Rosie.

871
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 5: I don't know.

872
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 4: Do you agree with me on this looks like Pumpkinhead.

873
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 4: I do agree Mkinhead from the titular villain from Pumpkinhead,

874
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 4: the film which also stars Aliens star Dun Dunn Lance Henrickson,

875
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 4: He's back. He's connected six degrees of Lance Ericksen in

876
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 4: the Alien universe.

877
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 2: It does look like Pumpkinhead.

878
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: They did not deliver the new cool alien design when

879
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: it came to that little guy. Also, I feel like

880
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: maybe this is one of those like weird social and constructs.

881
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: But I swear to God, like when I was a kid,

882
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: I thought when on a Ryder was like her door

883
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: or something in this movie, or her clothes or something,

884
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: And then when I rewatched it, I was like, that

885
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: is definitely not what it's like.

886
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 4: If you get fire five vibes from the mercenaries and

887
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 4: from like the design. That might be because Joss Whedon

888
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 4: wrote this terrible fucking script. This movie is like, it's

889
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 4: so bad, but it's the worst looking of the Alien

890
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 4: movies by far, at least Alien three. Every few years

891
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 4: with Alien three.

892
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: Hence why I own it on Bloomin Laser disc that

893
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: I just bought recently from Amba in La. It's like

894
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: every few years I reconsider it because there's it's like

895
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: a visual, there's a visual, a choice that David Fincher made.

896
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: It's very strange, it's very dreary, it's slow burn. It

897
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: has this weird religious kind of subtext to it.

898
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 2: But it is, I have to say, sadly quite boring movie.

899
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: But at least it has vibes.

900
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: Alien four Resurrection does not have vibes and does not

901
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: live up to a movie that has both Sigourney Weaver,

902
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: and it.

903
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 4: Looks sadly like a very cheap film.

904
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 5: It does not look expensive or good at all.

905
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 4: It does have what I consider to be one of

906
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 4: the most iconic basketball scenes in movies in which the Mercenaries.

907
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: This is the Mercenaries encounter with the cat super Ripley.

908
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 5: So super Ripley.

909
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 4: Again, Remember has the alien DNA, and she's like practicing

910
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 4: basketball and her game is like Peau Charles Barkley, like

911
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 4: she just like drives to the hoop of.

912
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 5: Dunks, that's what he is.

913
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 4: And then of course there's this really amazing shot where

914
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 4: she's like walking away from the basket and she shoots

915
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 4: a basket over her head and it goes in, and

916
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 4: she actually made that shot. That's like the take that's

917
00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 4: in the movie is for actually making the.

918
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 2: Show is so good you can't believe it.

919
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: It's like that Catwoman scene with Michelle Biba where she

920
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: gets all the heads off with the whips.

921
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 2: It's one of those things.

922
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: Where it just becomes a legendary scene that you never

923
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: believe was done without cg And yeah it was Sigourney.

924
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: Weave a continue you can go Queen and the.

925
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 4: Queen go on YouTube and see like the outtake, it's

926
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 4: not an outtake, it's Ron Perlman like reacts the way

927
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 4: any person would react to that by just going, oh

928
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 4: my god. And he thought for a second that he

929
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 4: like hauld ruin the take because he says it like

930
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,720
Speaker 4: right after it goes in, but there was enough space

931
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 4: there for them to like cut anyway, Go watch it

932
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 4: on YouTube.

933
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 5: It's really funny.

934
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 2: It's very cool.

935
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 5: So Ripley manages to.

936
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 4: Launch the alien Queen into space by melting a window

937
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 4: with her acid blood.

938
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: Of course again acid be.

939
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 4: We should have thought about it, like we gotta ask

940
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 4: to prove this entire facility, the mercenaries and Ripley escape

941
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 4: the Orega, which crashes into Earth.

942
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 5: Uh oh, but it does explode, so.

943
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 4: Maybe, like all the aliens and alien research are fine.

944
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 4: And then the mercenaries are like, where should we go?

945
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 4: And then Ripley is like, you know, I don't know.

946
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 4: I'm like two weeks old. Yeah, I don't, like, I

947
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 4: don't know anything, and then the movie's over.

948
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 5: The movie is so fucking dumb.

949
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: It's so dumb.

950
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 4: And that brings us to the chronological end of the

951
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 4: Alien Universe as we know it now again.

952
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 5: Alien Romulus coming to theaters near you soon takes place.

953
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 4: Between alien and aliens. So that'd be very interesting to see.

954
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 2: Yes, very interesting.

955
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: And it's Fetti Alvarez, who's like a don't Breathe the

956
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 1: Evil Dad remake. That man knows how to make a

957
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: scary movie. So I'm excited to see what happens.

958
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 4: One question I have for you that I think is

959
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 4: listen this to your point, they did do a surprising

960
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 4: amount of like lore building in this specifically in like

961
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 4: the Alien Verse Presator Really why Yeah, The overall like

962
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 4: world building is quite spotty, Like there's a lot of

963
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 4: un answered questions and there's a lot of things that

964
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 4: don't line up. And here's one of my biggest ones,

965
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 4: and we don't really ever get the answer. Why were

966
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 4: the engineers going to wipe out Earth other than the.

967
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 2: Jesus in Jesus?

968
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: Well, I do think you make a good point. I'm

969
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: sure that Ridley Scott was planning to make the Jesus

970
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: think canon.

971
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 2: For some reason.

972
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 1: These old directors from this error of action, they love Jesus.

973
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 2: Poor Verhoven's the same, He loves Jesus.

974
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: If you watch his very entertaining lesbian nonsplitation movie Benedetta.

975
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: It's about like a nun in eighteenth Centuary Rome, you know,

976
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: who begins having these visions. But when she has visions

977
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: of Jesus, she's having visions of like hunky like action,

978
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 1: start nuts, watchenegga Jesus. It's like some of the most

979
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: outrageous stuff. I don't know why they love Jesus, but

980
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: why were they gonna wipe us out? Probably, you know,

981
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: some kind.

982
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 2: Of like Godzilla esque.

983
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: The engineers saw that we were destroying the Earth and

984
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: they decided the best thing to do, or they wanted

985
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: to terraform Earth and take it over and use it

986
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: as a breeding ground. For these aliens, which would become

987
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,280
Speaker 1: like weapons if they wanted to take over other planets.

988
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: But I think Prometheus kind of messes us up because

989
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: Prometheus adds in the lore of like they are the creators,

990
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: they are where the god mythology comes from. So then

991
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: that takes on a lot of a heavier weight of

992
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: kind of why they would want to destroy us.

993
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,280
Speaker 4: I guess part of me wonders so that you find

994
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 4: out that the planet that they go to in Prometheus,

995
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 4: like or at least the supposition from our science friends

996
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 4: in the story, is that this is like a bioweapons facility,

997
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 4: So maybe like yeah, maybe it's like the two ingredients

998
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 4: of the weapon, like Earth is where the incubators are

999
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 4: and then they have the actual weapon stuff. Honestly, that

1000
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 4: would be the smartest way to do it, seeing how

1001
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 4: violent this these this weapon is, is to like have

1002
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 4: them separate and then combine them later at some other

1003
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 4: place somewhere. Would they be fighting? Why would they need

1004
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 4: this weapon? I guess that's the other thing, like who

1005
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 4: were they scared of?

1006
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 5: Like the predators, but like.

1007
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 4: The prenators don't really feel like that's big a threat.

1008
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: To not really a formidable threat killing one engineer, like

1009
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: the engineers could just like step up or like.

1010
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 5: Can they kill like one engineer years like big fucking deal. Yeah.

1011
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: Also as well, the Predators, I feel like that always

1012
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 1: just willing to like team up with someone thanks to

1013
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 1: the laylo, So I feel like the Energy Engineers could

1014
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: have just been like, let's not be beefing, bro, Like,

1015
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 1: let's just be cool. I won't make a bioweapon to

1016
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: kill you if you just chill out a bit. But

1017
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: you know what, that's the interesting thing. I've been thinking

1018
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: a lot about prequels cause of House of the Dragon,

1019
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: which I believe is currently up there for me for

1020
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: like one of the greatest prequels that we've ever gotten,

1021
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: the way that the TV series decided to adapt Fire

1022
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: and Blood. And actually, like, prequels are so complex because

1023
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: you do start to build in or this law that

1024
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: was never intended in the original films, you know, so

1025
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: with Alien versus Predator in these movies that are so

1026
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: far away from really being connected to like the original Alien.

1027
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: But because they start technically before you are watching a prequel,

1028
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: and if you're a nerd like us, you can't help

1029
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: connecting those things together. So you do start asking these

1030
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: questions about how these things all connect.

1031
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 2: And I do still think with Alien.

1032
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: And Predator now both under the Disney banner after the

1033
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: twentieth Century Fox acquisition, I do think that we will

1034
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: probably get another Alien Predator movie in our time that

1035
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: is more concerned with the Ridley Scott style law because

1036
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: it's just such an enjoy ball match up.

1037
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 2: But you make a good.

1038
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: Point that, really, in general, the Predators, I think the

1039
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: reason they focus on humans is because they're not actually

1040
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: that good peoples, Like they could go to the engineers,

1041
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,280
Speaker 1: but instead they're like, oh, I'll just see what happens

1042
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: if I kill a human, Like, I'm sure.

1043
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 2: That's so far?

1044
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 5: Are they?

1045
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 4: Like the predators trophies that they give like humans, it's

1046
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 4: always like a flintlock, pistol, a spirit? Can I get

1047
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 4: something from elsewhere in the get like give me an

1048
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 4: alien weapon?

1049
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? Could I have?

1050
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 5: I mean anyone?

1051
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1052
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 5: Like could I get something like a gun or something?

1053
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 5: This is what they can fucking go to.

1054
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 4: But no, they dude, they don't want to give it

1055
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 4: to you because then you could kill them.

1056
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 2: Because they're not that good.

1057
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 4: They gotta give you, like they're like, make sure you

1058
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 4: give them weapon that's at least one hundred and fifty

1059
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 4: years old, or he might be able to take us out.

1060
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:52,240
