Scary Thoughts #121 - Aliens (James Cameron – 1986)

Alien$ made an enormous amount of money because James Cameron asked "What if there were a lot of aliens?" and "What if there were a ton of machine guns?" Answering "Yes, and" to these bold questions guaranteed a hit in the 80s. What a time to be alive! In this episode, we discuss Weyland-Yutani's corporate culture, life in the Colonial Marines, the history of Jews in Mexico and their theoretical role in space, great sci-fi industrial design, and the tyranny of Fox Studio suits. It looks like we're going for it with this Alien series, god help us. Though we may squeeze in a few side quests here and there. Stay tuned.
