David Cronenberg decided to make a movie about video games based on a Philip K Dick Novel.

So it doesnt really grasp the theme all that well. But its got meat and guts and all the stuff you expect in a Cronenberg movie. So there's that. But we did posit if he did try his hand at game crafting in this weeks skit. So there's also that.

Long ago Eric was a co-host on the show and had a list of films that was owed him as suffering for spending a year making reviews with Mike. Today that debt was paid by covering this film. John has better things to do than join in, and you can find out what that is. But also, good news contained within for those who wonder what they would get for supporting the show on patreon, and that's a NEW SERIES! Listen to the show for details

What happens when a character who has carried a franchise for over a decade get their well earned send off and absolutely cannot return in any reasonable way? You could create new characters and settings for the xenomorphs to encounter humans. If you are the writers for this movie you can just forgo reason and say "Ripley is back, give us money"

We served hard time watching Alien 3 and wondering how the script got like this. Luckily Mike did a trivia hunt and now it makes sense and we gave up our grudge against the director of it. Enjoy us breaking this apart and wondering how this prison functioned before Ripley showed up.

Alicia is back and we have a special chest, i mean guest! John's brother Phil is back to help us handle the peak Xenomorph film, and a supremely good sequel, Aliens (1986).

We needed a break from the existential horrors of Animation April 2025, and settled on a nice feel good classic that we immediately ruined by over analyzing and daring to think a little more than the writers did. We are broken. We will find our way back to regular live action horrors next week as we kick off spring with thoughts of fertility and breeding and motherhood!

We have been snacking heavily from the Halloween Grab-Bag and unfortunately we have hit the nameless taffy and raisin boxes that is Creepshow 2. Sheldon is back, but gone are the lovely comic inserts, Tom Atkins being a terrible moustachless father, and the well made prop that is The Creeper, and instead we have less stories, animated interstitials from Don Bluths waste basket, a poorly designed replacement of the Creeper, and just... less of everything good. But we endure for you, dear listeners.
