    Alien 3 Pt. 1

    Alien 3 Pt. 1

    Welcome to Fury 161, where we’ve got no entertainment center, no climate control, no video system, no surveillance, no freezers, no f*****g ice cream, no rubbers, no guns, but we do have the Halloweenies. Join the gang as they begin their sprawling coverage of David Fincher’s Alien 3. Of course, it wasn’t always going to be Fincher’s film, and in the first of three episodes dedicated to the 1992 anti-blockbuster, they explain why as they chart the film’s long road in and out of development hell. Stay tuned for Pt. 2 next Monday!

Mike V’s Reviews ,

Vital to surviving my commute

Basically, everything I said about the Loser’s Club podcast applies here, which makes sense because it’s typically the same group of people putting on both podcasts. The episodes are well researched, and the camaraderie amongst the hosts is genuine. I’ll keep listening as long as they keep making shows. - Mike

Stellar

i love few things more than seeing a new episode dropped in the feed, booting up the movie it’s about, then when the credits roll putting on the episode. this pod has helped me through many a road trip as well as lots of regular ole bored afternoons

Constant tangents

There seems to be an utter lack of these hosts to stick to a subject for more than a sentence or two without going off topic. It tries to be jokey but it’s unfocused and excruciating.
