87. Xenomorphs & Screams: Ranking Alien Movies from Face-Hugger to Chest-Burster! 👽🏆
18 Plays6 months ago
Ready for a spine-tingling journey through space? Buckle up, horror hounds! 🚀 In this face-melting episode of Streamin' Demon, we're diving headfirst into the Alien universe faster than you can say "Get away from her, you b*tch!" We're ranking ALL the Alien movies from "meh" to "holy-mother-of-Xenomorphs!"
Join us as we dissect the franchise that had us sleeping with the lights on and eyeing our chests suspiciously. We're talking scare factor, overall awesomeness, and how many times we peed our pants. Plus, we're tracking Ripley's journey from space trucker to certified badass mom of the century.
From the OG chest-burster to the latest acid-dripping installment, we're leaving no escape pod unturned. We'll chat about how these slime-drooling space nasties changed sci-fi horror forever and trace the Xenomorph's glow-up from "kill it with fire" to "wait, it's kinda cute?"
So, grab your flamethrower and motion tracker, and let's rank these Alien flicks! Will Aliens reign supreme? Could Prometheus actually be good? (Spoiler: Probably not, but we'll chat about it anyway). Tune in for a facehugger of an episode that'll have you screaming louder than an airlock breach! 🎬👽💀

00:05:58
box
I mean, it can be a thing.
00:06:01
Jim Phoenix
He made it past like
00:06:02
box
I don't, I don't think, honestly, I don't think he could do no nut November. So no drink November is possible.
00:06:11
Jim Phoenix
No Mega Dove beer in November. No.
00:06:14
box
the
00:06:15
Jim Phoenix
But it's been very tempting for him because this has been a rough week for people. And yeah, Tony Todd died.
00:06:21

Oh, you don't say. You don't say.
00:06:24
Jim Phoenix
Tony Todd died today.

00:06:32
box
Yeah.
00:06:33
Jim Phoenix
I mean, we just found out that it was bubble tape to show. So actually Fox found out that they told me.
00:06:36
box
Honestly, we could just we could just do like a whole like Tony Todd because he's been in so many movies.
00:06:44
Jim Phoenix
week Yeah, we went through his IMDB if you got like 12 hours go through Tony Todd's IMDB And you just go through that shit.
00:06:46
box
and
00:06:50
Jim Phoenix
it It goes off like oh my god using this. area Yeah, he's in everything and Things that you love and you probably forgot he was in because that's how good the doctor he was The crow he was in it
00:06:59
box
Exactly.
00:07:04
box
He was in Murder, She Wrote. I was impressed with that.
00:07:08
Jim Phoenix
He-Man, he was in He-Man, the Masters of the Universe. I think it was the Kevin Smith version with Mark Hamill.
00:07:14
box
Oh, that's fun.
00:07:15
Jim Phoenix
That's fucking bizarre, man.
00:07:17
box
He was in Sky Sharks.
00:07:19
Jim Phoenix
He was a sky shark.
00:07:22
box
He was a Sky Shark.
00:07:23
Jim Phoenix
Final destination?
00:07:25
box
All of them, like every one of them.
00:07:27
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. He was in, oh God, 21 Drum Street, the the TV showing off the movie.
00:07:36
box
He was in a lot of, like, everything.
00:07:38
Jim Phoenix
Platoon, colors.
00:07:39
box
He just really was.
00:07:41
Jim Phoenix
ah here as So if you haven't discovered Tony Matlock, God.
00:07:44
box
Matlock? He was in Matlock. Bless. Oh my god, he was in Cop Rock. Holy shit.
00:07:53
Jim Phoenix
Watch Cop Rock. There you go. If you want to judge Tony Todd's body of work, watch Cop Rock. Because you feel like cops that sing like musicals, that's a good idea.
00:08:05
Jim Phoenix
I can't wait.
00:08:05
box
That's a great idea.
00:08:06
Jim Phoenix
what What year was that from? I blacked out a lot.
00:08:09
box
1990.
00:08:10
Jim Phoenix
90, I wouldn't remember the 90s.
00:08:11
box
1990.
00:08:12
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, that that kind of sums up that the happiness. You think you think youre your cops are bad today? Are saying fucking Broadway tunes as they arrested us and shit.
00:08:23
box
Like really bad Broadway tunes.
00:08:26
Jim Phoenix
It launched careers.
00:08:26
box
It, so but la surprisingly, Surprisingly.
00:08:30
Jim Phoenix
but It did launch careers right into the fucking notion. But, all right, but then we're talking about aliens.
00:08:34
box
but
00:08:37
Jim Phoenix
But yeah, Tony Todd, he was, you know, he was one of the first people to follow us on Twitter.
00:08:38
box
Yeah.
00:08:41
box
Oh, that's nice.
00:08:42
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Yeah. So I'm kind of like.
00:08:45
box
That's very sweet. And honestly, he, you know, it was it's far too young, you know, he was 69.
00:08:54
Jim Phoenix
Phrasing. But yeah, I have a theory about this. It's a conspiracy theory.
00:09:00
box
Hmm.
00:09:01
Jim Phoenix
There are some good things and some badness, you know, but yeah, we're gonna miss him, man. Honestly, it's one of the first people, one of the only people I've met that I couldn't differentiate him from his character, which is really weird for me.
00:09:06
box
Yeah.
00:09:14
box
That is weird.
00:09:16
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I'm like, God, I know he's just a dude, but damn, he's still canny man in my head, so All right, so.
00:09:22
box
He just seemed very cool. He just seemed like open to anything and he gave it his best like every time.
00:09:26
Jim Phoenix
He was an actor.
00:09:29
box
And that's what I
Sigourney Weaver and the Original Alien
00:09:30
box
appreciate. Yeah. And that's what I appreciated from him.
00:09:30
Jim Phoenix
I mean, I mean, no, I met the, I know car he was an actor, meaning he knew that he was lucky getting roles.
00:09:42
Jim Phoenix
Meaning a lot of actors just don't get roles. And so he's like, Oh fuck, I, I'm an actor.
00:09:45
box
Yeah.
00:09:46
Jim Phoenix
This is what I studied my craft for him. I love this in my life. This is what my job is.
00:09:52
box
Yeah.
00:09:52
Jim Phoenix
So he was very happy. A lot except in traffic.
00:09:57
box
Very humble, he seemed like. Yeah.
00:09:59
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. ah And a Laker fan.
00:10:02
box
Absolutely.
00:10:03
Jim Phoenix
So what else do you fucking need? There you go. So it's Tony Todd.
00:10:05
box
ah
00:10:06
Jim Phoenix
I'll see you later. Now coming to Sigourney Weaver, who I did not know was a sex symbol.
00:10:09
box
Oh, yeah.
00:10:12
Jim Phoenix
Cause the first time I saw Sigourney Weaver, it was an aliens like that's a sex symbol. And I saw her in ghost box.
00:10:18
box
because ah because she's running around in her underwear yeah look at the time is 79 weird shit was sexy back then that's all I gotta to say granny
00:10:18
Jim Phoenix
It was like, Oh, I get it.
00:10:23
Jim Phoenix
An alien, but she doesn't, she's not very sexy around or an alien. Is she?
00:10:36
Jim Phoenix
Her honor or is basically a wife beater and like, yeah.
00:10:39
box

00:10:46
Jim Phoenix
Hey, no judgment.
00:10:48
box
Don't kinkshame me.
00:10:48
Jim Phoenix
Oh, I'm not. I mean, it took me a little bit more puberty to understand like how sexy that really was.
00:10:56
box
I mean, and she was she was a tough lady, you know, there's something very attractive with that.
00:10:56
Jim Phoenix
But I na see as a kid.
00:11:03
Jim Phoenix
Yes, she still is. yeah
00:11:05
box
Well, I mean, as her character. But yes, Sigourney Weaver is a tough lady.
00:11:08
Jim Phoenix
but No shit to And she starts out do you think alien works and if he feels okay those are what the fuck alien is a Wrong fucking podcast at this point.
00:11:20
box
Where are you?
00:11:21
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I don't know man being a wars I mean face huggers chest bursars.
00:11:21
box
Where have you been? Yeah.
00:11:26
Jim Phoenix
I mean it's the title of the episode so if you don't know it's about a dystopian future where a Uh, a corporation basically runs everything.
00:11:40
box
yeah
00:11:40
Jim Phoenix
And then they send these overworked underpaid miners and but to, uh, I believe they probably know what alien life form exists there. Right. I think that's a setup in the alien.
00:11:52
Jim Phoenix
Am I remembering correctly?
00:11:52
box
Yeah, and I I think so because when they first find the alien body um They're not like holy shit. What is this? They're like, oh look here's an alien Oh something burst out of its chest.
00:12:04
box
I wonder what did that? Hmm doop-de-doop Yeah, exactly let's go play with this egg Exactly
00:12:07
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Oh, eggs. Let's go play with it. A lot of bad. Yeah. That's a lot of bad decisions happen in the first part of the movie. And she's the one that did it correctly by saying we have to lock the fucking door out.
00:12:22
box
Exactly.
00:12:22
Jim Phoenix
And that didn't the science officer does.
00:12:23
box
She was not going to let him back in and nobody listened to her. And yeah, and she's paid for it ever since.
00:12:33
Jim Phoenix
She has, repeatedly, repeatedly, and I'm gonna read off the, I'll just read off the IMDBs and just kind of, Tom Scripps, and by the way, Tom's an amazing actor, and there's a lot of really great, John Hurt, Jesus, I forgot John Hurt, isn't it?
00:12:37
box
Repeatedly.
00:12:47
box
There's a lot of great actors in it.
00:12:50
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, and I will say this, I've been stabbed so many fucking times in my hand.
00:12:58
box
Congratulations.
00:12:59
Jim Phoenix
No, but do you remember the yeah fucking robot scene where it's that was the second one.
00:13:03
box
That was the second one. Yeah. That was the second one because it had Bill Paxton and Bill Paxton did not realize that was going to happen.
00:13:09
Jim Phoenix
Oh, shit. I bet.
00:13:13
box
So when he's screaming, that's Bill Paxton screaming.
00:13:17
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Oh, OK. If we'll get that in a second one, because that's where I stab and had my friends stab me so many fucking times.
00:13:21
box
Okay.
00:13:24
Jim Phoenix
So.
00:13:26
Jim Phoenix
Now, alien, this is their log line that. I guess it's more of a log in the distant future, the commercial spaceship, the Stromwell crew is on its way home when the crew picks up a distress call from the distant moon.
00:13:41
Jim Phoenix
The crew must investigate and the spaceship descends into small planetoid afterwards. Oh, boy. This is actually written by some fans, so it's not actually their official one.
00:13:50
box
Okay.
00:13:51
Jim Phoenix
After a rough, otherwise it's going way too far. um After a rough landing, three crew members leave. Yeah, fuck off. There's no screaming in space. but In space, they can't hear you scream, right? That's the tagline, I think.
00:14:03
box
Yeah, yeah, I think that's the tagline.
00:14:04
Jim Phoenix
That's, yeah. In space, no one can hear you scream. That's all you fucking need for a tagline. Beautifulness of it. Absolutely. I will give you this. If you're a, I did screen this with a younger generation last year, like the last week spent like 12 years in me.
00:14:20
box
hi
00:14:21
Jim Phoenix
So I don't know.
00:14:22
box
Yeah, for real.
00:14:23
Jim Phoenix
I think it was 2000 something and they didn't like it too slow.
00:14:27
box
Oh, okay.
00:14:30
Jim Phoenix
There's like, no, just nothing happens for the first couple at my first act. Nothing happens.
00:14:34
box
Here's the deal. You have to set up the whole universe within that short amount of time. You have to set up, because before this, we didn't really have alien horror. We didn't really have
00:14:50
Jim Phoenix
Not like this.
00:14:51
box
Like we had old creatures from outer space, but not like this.
00:14:55
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, they were all kind of jokey.
00:14:55
box
Or you have to set up. Yeah, they're all kind of jokey, all men in suits, like wiggle wobble suits, you know?
00:15:03
Jim Phoenix
little wobble suits.
00:15:05
box
um And this one actually, it it creates this whole world and universe just within this one ship. It creates what, ah a you know,
00:15:18
box
um who they are, what they're doing, class phrase like crack class issues, race issues, um all this stuff.
00:15:21
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:15:28
box
And so yeah, it goes a tiny bit slow in the beginning because it's establishing all of this.
00:15:35
Jim Phoenix
exploitation. it's there It's not an exploitation film. there They're raising consciousness of exploitation of workers.
00:15:41
box
Yeah, exactly. It's it's all about, um because that's a big issue too because that was not their mission. They were supposed to just go basically to collect something.
00:15:53

00:16:51
box
Yeah, okay.

box
Yeah.
00:17:08
box
Yesterday?

00:17:17
box
i could That could protect your face from a facehugger.

00:17:37
box
What?
00:17:37
Jim Phoenix
But they dropped everyone. Oh, they dropped everyone.
00:17:40
box
Yeah, because, oh, it would have been funnier if that was the case.
00:17:40
Jim Phoenix
It wasn't just because we're saying it was like, we're doing other ass.
00:17:46
Jim Phoenix
That's like, see somebody says stop talking about our stuff.
00:17:50
box
Please, please stop talking.
00:17:50
Jim Phoenix
Okay. So we're in, we're talking practical effects mostly.
00:17:55
box
Oh my God, so many practical effects. Fuck the ass with practical effects.
00:17:59
Jim Phoenix
up the ass and it's really a thing done by the acting that the acting of the suspense it's it's all right there like we see a woman in charge for the first time really take charge and we see a guy completely ignore her that she's in charge and then like pay the consequences for it well technically yes we see an android do that
00:18:10
box
Fuck yes. Fuck yeah. Yeah. Yeah. and
00:18:27
box
And that, and that was a fucking twist for people too back then to fucking like see like that white milk shit coming out of his face and being like, what the fuck is that?
00:18:30
Jim Phoenix
yeah
00:18:37
Jim Phoenix
Right.
00:18:40
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I saw this in 79. God damn. My parents were either really good or really shitty.
00:18:46
box
Really shitty because they let you watch faces of death.
00:18:46
Jim Phoenix
I'm not sure.
00:18:50
Jim Phoenix
Bases of death. And I think that was just the babysitter. And honest to God, I don't think my aunt sees my mom or dad. i like I just saw it. You know, no one, everyone's working 12 jobs. They didn't have fucking time for me. So.
00:19:03
Jim Phoenix
I remember being maybe confused with the white stuff. I'm like, is that his blood? I mean, I didn't know it. I was like, the first time you see it, like, is that an android? I'm like, you don't know what an android is yet.
00:19:13
box
Yeah, you don't know what the hell is going on.
00:19:16
Jim Phoenix
Is that like the alien like scuba on him?
00:19:16
box
Like i I remember.
00:19:18
Jim Phoenix
We're like, bleh.
00:19:19
box
Yeah. Like what the fuck is that?
00:19:21
Jim Phoenix
He looks like just a gun the guy in the car.
00:19:24
box
I mean, he's just full of jizz. He's full of cum and he just explodes from it.
00:19:28
Jim Phoenix
And as ah as a four year old, I wouldn't know that, hopefully.
00:19:32
box
Oh, hopefully, hopefully.
00:19:33
Jim Phoenix
How old do you fucking think I wasn't sorry to do it? Well, it was kind of like. ah
00:19:39
box
But. But yes, so there's all this interplay. Also, we have the introduction introduction of mother, which is an AI that runs the ship.
00:19:49
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, we're able.
00:19:50
box
um in Which we get one of the best lines, which is, you mother, you bitch.
00:19:55
Jim Phoenix
You badge, right.
00:19:58
box
Then, yep.
00:20:00
Jim Phoenix
We had bad evil A.I. before the Terminator.
00:20:02
box
Mm-hmm.
00:20:04
Jim Phoenix
We'd be like, Terminator did eight.
00:20:04
box
Yep.
00:20:06
Jim Phoenix
No, yeah, they did it, but they didn't invent that shit.
00:20:09
box
Yep. No, this was much different.
00:20:11
Jim Phoenix
Well, before.
00:20:12
box
We had mother.
00:20:13
Jim Phoenix
The city is like it's the fucking 2001 where the ship's controlling you're like, oh, that's nice, Dave.
00:20:20
box
Yeah.
00:20:20
Jim Phoenix
We're still going to do what we want. We had a lot of fucking movies that really weren't as well. A.I. We just didn't listen.
00:20:27
box
Yep. We still do. We still do.
00:20:29
Jim Phoenix
Good for us. So we have the face huggers in this one and the fake face hugger goes to a chest burster and the chest burster grows up to the xenomorph queen ish looking thing, right?
00:20:42
Jim Phoenix
That's the first one.
00:20:42
box
Well, not the queen, not the queen, just a xenomorph.
00:20:44
Jim Phoenix
Or just say it's just a xenomorph. Okay.
00:20:47
box
Just a xenomorph.
00:20:47
Jim Phoenix
Queen comes later. Very mercury.
00:20:48
box
Yeah.
00:20:49
Jim Phoenix
Okay. Now.
00:20:50
box
Yeah. Which is bad enough because they have acid said for blood, you guys.
00:20:56
Jim Phoenix
Right.
00:20:56
box
So they're in a ship, so you can't just willy-nilly, like, shoot them because you're in a ship, the ship decompresses or compresses.
00:21:05
Jim Phoenix
Everyone dies.
00:21:06
box
Everybody dies.
00:21:07
Jim Phoenix
It's a whole like you can't you shouldn't shoot the fugitive and the airplane because you're going to kill everyone.
00:21:12
box
Exactly.
Aliens: The Sequel and Its Impact
00:21:13
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, it's a it's a very cool thing, man.
00:21:16
box
Classic for blood.
00:21:18
Jim Phoenix
You know, it's it's a acid for blood, but but I don't know how it doesn't burn itself.
00:21:27
box
You know, it's magic.
00:21:28
Jim Phoenix
This magic acid for blood.
00:21:28
box
It's the perfect creature. That's what they, they say this throughout the whole entire series. It's like, it's the, it's the most exquisite creature.
00:21:36
Jim Phoenix
Is that perfect? Is the variance?
00:21:37
box
It's like. the best thing that's ever happened.
00:21:41
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:21:41
box
And I'm like, I don't know about that. The weird little alien coming out of the big alien mouth is kind of weird. I don't know if that's a exquisite creation.
00:21:50
Jim Phoenix
No, that's just something pissed off. Now, what would you rate this from all the Alien movies? Is this your top or your worst or a mid? What is it?
00:21:57
box
This is my top movie.
00:21:59
Jim Phoenix
Same. Okay, we agree on the top movie.
00:22:00
box
Yeah, it's it's perfect.
00:22:02
Jim Phoenix
Nice.
00:22:04
box
It's just perfect.
00:22:04
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:22:04
box
It's.
00:22:05
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Gen Z suck it. Get a fucking attention span, you little wankers.
00:22:07
box
Yeah.
00:22:11
box
yeah no offense but i mean and it it it it really does bring a lot to the table and like we said practical effects that was a guy in a suit doing all that shit well guy
00:22:15
Jim Phoenix
Get off musically. I mean, tick tock.
00:22:27
Jim Phoenix
Call Sigourney Weaver. Sigourney, you're here first, folks. Sigourney Weaver, guy in a suit.
00:22:34
box
in a suit yeah exactly very little guy in a suit
00:22:34
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. She could pull that off. The wee, wee man.
00:22:40
box
walking around in underwear in a white beater.
00:22:42
Jim Phoenix
Oh God. I would do that. All right. So we top that one off. I'm guessing both five stars out of five or five. cucuullo my Yeah.
00:22:50
box
Yes, five, five, five out of five.
00:22:53
Jim Phoenix
Five out of five. What's the next one?
00:22:55
box
Five out of five.
00:22:56
Jim Phoenix
We're talking about aliens. Plural.
00:22:59
box
Yeah, aliens plural, which is a gutsy move.
00:23:00
Jim Phoenix
Which comes out seven years later, right? In 86.
00:23:04
box
Yeah, yep.
00:23:08
Jim Phoenix
This is the one with Paul Reiser. Yes. Or is that three?
00:23:14
box
ah This is the one, well, this is the one where you're talking about when we have um ah the, what do you call it? The military special forces come in.
00:23:27
Jim Phoenix
Oh, everyone's the Rambo, Rambo and Hambo.
00:23:31
box
So we have Lance Henriksen playing, yep.
00:23:34
Jim Phoenix
Yes. Yes. with James Cameron directing this shit, yeah.
00:23:36
box
We have Paul Reisner, yep.
00:23:38
Jim Phoenix
paul So Paul Reiser, isn't this one nice?
00:23:40
box
He is in this one, yep. Um, we have, uh, Bill Paxton doing a phenomenal job.
00:23:48
Jim Phoenix
And me getting my hands stabbed three million fucking times in school.
00:23:52
box
Yep. Absolutely.
00:23:53
Jim Phoenix
Some of them are fucking self-inflicted wounds doing this.
00:23:59
box
Probably.
00:24:00
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:24:00
box
Probably. Um, yep. And so basically, um, We end, again, ah spoiler alerts. ah We end Ripley survives the first one.
00:24:12
box
So does her cat, which is important.
00:24:13
Jim Phoenix
Meow, meow.
00:24:16
box
um They basically go on an escape shuttle after destroying the alien.
00:24:22
Jim Phoenix
Almost 60 years later.
00:24:23
box
um
00:24:24
Jim Phoenix
And and they it's like 57 to court in the storyline guy.
00:24:25
box
Yeah.
00:24:28
box
yeah And then basically she lost her contract with the company. So she's just working out jobs. Nobody kind of believes her.
00:24:41
Jim Phoenix
Which is weird because they kind of like, we don't believe you, but let's go explore and get this for the company. So the company knows, but they're gaslighting her.
00:24:51
box
right. Because the first Android basically said, actually, the company really wants this alien.
00:24:56
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:24:57
box
Fuck y'all. We're going to get this alien. And that's why she was really pissed off. So second one, the company comes and they're like, hey, we're Sawe. We're Willy Sawe.
00:25:09
box
Will you help us? Because we think that there's this like ah base, what do you call it? A colony that might be affected by an alien.
00:25:20
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:25:21
box
Could you please be like a consultant for us?
00:25:24
Jim Phoenix
We've lost communication with one of our colonies.
00:25:27
box
Yeah. And so she's like, fine fuck it I guess because she's having major PTSD so she goes to see what the fuck's going on and of course she's met by these marines that are tough guys um and those they're they're really fun they're very fun
00:25:34
Jim Phoenix
Slightly.
00:25:53
Jim Phoenix
Right. And there is going to be a.
00:25:59
Jim Phoenix
There's going to be one marine who also I do believe is in. Heartbreak Ridge. Playing a marine. So this guy is just being typecast at the ass and back on this one.
00:26:11
box
Maybe.
00:26:11
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. OK, now there are some famous quotes from this one. Do you remember what they are?
00:26:19
box
Game over, man.

Jim Phoenix
Game over, man. Game over. Abs of Certainly the tagline.

box
Yep.

Okay, things i was doing this song
00:27:15
box

00:27:16
Jim Phoenix

00:27:17
box
and so
00:27:31

00:27:45
box
He was in Beverly Hills Cop.
00:27:47
Jim Phoenix
Yes, he was all of them, like, I think.
00:27:49
box
A lot of them. Oh, and he was in Stranger Things.
00:27:54
Jim Phoenix
He was a stranger thing, so he's going back to this now.
00:27:56
box
So he's coming back to horror, which is great.
00:28:00
Jim Phoenix
This one.
00:28:04
Jim Phoenix
It's it's not.
00:28:07
Jim Phoenix
is It's not my favorite.
00:28:10
box
It's not as claustrophobic as the first one.
00:28:13
Jim Phoenix
But this is the one I saw in the theater.
00:28:16
box
But this is much more action packed, I would say.
00:28:19
Jim Phoenix
Right, if if you're showing some people from Gen Z, you just show them this one and say, fuck it.
00:28:25
box
They would like this.
00:28:26
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, they're just, shoot they're space Marines.
00:28:26
box
There's a lot of ah space Marines, a ragtag group of space Marines. You got a kid. And this is where you see the mother, like the the queen, the queen.
00:28:36
Jim Phoenix
The actual, the queen. yeah
00:28:38
box
Yeah. And it's, there's so, so many fucking good scenes too. Cause there's a great scene. with queen the queen and Ripley, where basically the queen is gonna eat Newt.
00:28:52
box
And so she's like, she puts her gun by the eggs and she's basically saying, okay, fucker, if you're gonna kill my kid, I'm gonna kill your kids.
00:28:59
Jim Phoenix
Fucking do this shit If Mexicans go to space There'll be a fucking that's crazy
00:29:01
box
And so there's like an exchange and it's it very Mexican standoff where there's a lot of tension, it's very fun.
00:29:13
box
Hey Vasquez, vasque Vasquez is in here.
00:29:18
Jim Phoenix
That's Latin B.
00:29:18
box
um Oh, I don't know.
00:29:20
Jim Phoenix
They might be Mexican. it know I Actually, I don't know. But if you are doing this as a, as a ranking, unless hens are going to send us a bishop and then we got some, again, great, great actors in this.
00:29:26
box
I gotta look it up now.
00:29:33
box
I love, I love Bishop.
00:29:38
Jim Phoenix
Just fucking.
00:29:38
box
I fucking love Bishop.
00:29:40
Jim Phoenix
These are well-casted. If you had to rank this one, it's obvious we got, well, aliens are best one. it This is towards the bottom or the top.
00:29:51
box
Oh, I was, I was wrong. So Vasquez is played by Jeanette Goldstein and she's from Brazil and Morocco.
00:29:57
Jim Phoenix
Told you Latin B.
00:30:00
box
Anyway, you're right. You're right. Okay.
00:30:02
Jim Phoenix
This is your second one.
00:30:02
box

00:30:07
Jim Phoenix
ah Oh, you know what?
00:30:08
box
Yep. Yep.
00:30:10
Jim Phoenix
I think it might be my second one too.
00:30:12
box
Oh, okay.
00:30:13
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I'm fine with that.
00:30:15
box
ah It's not. It's not the same flavor as the first one. The first one is much more suspenseful and like very, like I said, claustrophobic.
00:30:21
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:30:25
box
You're in one space station. You're in one place. This is a lot more open, but a lot more action-packed. There's guns a-blazin'.
00:30:34
Jim Phoenix
And the protagonist,
00:30:35
box
It's fun.
00:30:38
Jim Phoenix
Bites it.
00:30:40
box
Huh?
00:30:41
Jim Phoenix
Does it really die in this one?
00:30:43
box
No!
00:30:44
Jim Phoenix
Oh, fuck. Really?
00:30:47
box
No, she escapes, the one dude, she escapes, the one captain dude escapes, Bishop escapes, and so does the little girl, Newt.
00:30:48
Jim Phoenix
Oh. Okay, she escapes. All right, fine.
00:31:01
box
They all escape.
00:31:03
Jim Phoenix
For that, no.
00:31:03
box
To be one big happy family, forever and ever, absolutely not.
00:31:06
Jim Phoenix
Yes, forever and ever, they'll definitely will not have anything bad happen to them in the next one, aliens cubed.
00:31:15
box
Yeah, fucking three.

Jim Phoenix
So how many, how many kathilas we do this with aliens, second one?

box
I mean, had James Horner doing the music? Like, it's pretty, pretty bad ass, you know?
00:31:33
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. And, uh, although they got screwed, they went to Oscars, they got screwed out of it. Cause I'm wondering whether we should have fucking won.
00:31:41
box
She should have won. She really should. They always snub horror movies.
00:31:45
Jim Phoenix
Horror always fucking hell.
00:31:45
box
They really do. Always.
00:31:47
Jim Phoenix
Jamie Lee Curtis gets like a makeup Oscar for some random shit that she should not at least shows us.
00:31:50
box
Yeah.
00:31:53
box
She did. She did get everything everywhere all at once. She did get an Oscar for that and she gave a nod to the horror community because she's been a scream queen this whole time.
00:32:00
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Because.
00:32:03
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, we honestly that movie was kind of shit.
00:32:05
box
She's a queen.
00:32:05
Jim Phoenix
So yeah, yeah, it was trying to be everywhere ever at once I hear.

box
Womp womp.

Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:32:35
box
Womp womp.
00:32:38
box
What I didn't have on my bingo card was an autopsy of a child, but that's in Alien 3.
00:32:43
Jim Phoenix
we should you should and and charles has duttons in this one again paul mcgann charles dances
00:32:49
box
like they had good actors in this what they did with it is shit because here's the problem too many cooks in the kitchen they could not figure out for the life of them what three was supposed to be David Fincher who directed this movie has gone on to be like please take my name off it because I don't want to be associated with it he's not happy with it this is also the one where they have the
00:33:14
Jim Phoenix
I doubt.
00:33:18
box
xenomorph doggo yeah hilarious because if you look at the behind the scenes they actually tried to make a dog look like a xenomorph and they're like we can't fucking do this because the dog looks too stupid like nobody's gonna be afraid of it so they had to do they had to do like
00:33:21
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I didn't. It's just kind of weird because it kind of rips off the thing without ripping it off as well. I mean.
00:33:42
Jim Phoenix
That should have been their fucking clue.
00:33:46
box
but but Like what is it called like the rotoscoping like it's it's very jarring because it's CGI, but it's 1992 CGI So it's not good We do we do have Good actors They didn't do fuck all with them
00:33:56
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, it gets kind of of does not aged too well. And then we do have Tyler Lannister in this. But.
00:34:06
Jim Phoenix
Like 20 years before, 20 or 30 years before he's actually Tyler Lannister. Do you want? No, this is how cringy it is. Do you want to hear the tagline?
00:34:18
box
Oh, God. ah I'm not going to guess it.
00:34:19
Jim Phoenix
And you guys you're not going to guess what this is, but can you? Yeah. and In 79, we discovered in space, no one can hear your scream. In 92, we will discover on earth, everyone can hear your scream.
00:34:32
Jim Phoenix
It's not on earth, bitches.
00:34:34
box
It's not on Earth.
00:34:35
Jim Phoenix
It's not on earth.
00:34:36
box
It's on some weird fucking, I guess.
00:34:37
Jim Phoenix
Like the audience, I'm guessing they're talking about. So the the tagline is talking about their audiences in the future might be afraid of this movie versus the actual fucking movie itself.
00:34:50
box
It's so fucking stupid, bed this movie.
00:34:54
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:34:54
box
It's just, it's been, oh, did you also want to see Ripley almost get gang raped? There you go.
00:35:00
Jim Phoenix
Nope.
00:35:00
box
This is in this movie.
00:35:03
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:35:03
box
Yeah.
00:35:04
Jim Phoenix
yeah
00:35:05
box
Yeah. It is not good. It's just not good.
00:35:13
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. And, um, how did they, maybe I missed this.
00:35:15
box
Ugh.
00:35:19
Jim Phoenix
How did the prisoners get aliens?
00:35:25
box
her so basically um she yeah basically they were aboard the ship like there their escape pods or whatever they were in and they were but on that so when this space place brought in the ship because I guess it was like crashed and whatever
00:35:28
Jim Phoenix
She brought aliens to them.
00:35:48
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:35:51
box
Um, they're like, Oh, there's one alive. Let's try to save the one alive. Oh, it's a woman. Oh no. That's horrible because we're part of this space prison and guys like to fuck women. But basically there was one alien that was like running around and spoiler alert, there's a queen alien inside of Ripley.
00:36:13
Jim Phoenix
Ripley. And this is one where she dies.
00:36:15
box
This is the one where it's so dumb because she jumps into ah ah
00:36:22
Jim Phoenix
lava The See, Lord of the Rings it.
00:36:24
box
it's like like It's like Lord of the Rings Terminator 2, which actually they're really worried about that it would rip off because they both shot it at the same time of like jumping into a vat of Moulton's whatever. um you know It also rips off ah Star Wars, although that came later. but Yeah, it's it's the whole thing of jumping into the, like, lava.
00:36:47
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:36:50
box
And as she's jumping into it, it... The fucking thing bursts out of her chest and she holds it.
00:37:00
Jim Phoenix
like oh So she like, oh, you're not going nowhere, word bitch, you're coming home with me.
00:37:04
box
And exactly, exactly, it's so fucking dumb.
00:37:10
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, if to give you any hint, ah like the IMDB ratings go from like eight point five, eight point four and six point four.
00:37:12
box
Aww. so
00:37:18
box
I would even give it I would even go less than that is terrible Out of five 1.5 Stupid She does get fucked in this movie No, literally
00:37:18
Jim Phoenix
They sink really heavy on this. Okay, what would you, what would you rate this out of five?
00:37:28
Jim Phoenix
1.5, I'd give it a two something. I'd give it a two something just because Charles S. Dutton's in it. I have to give it two.
00:37:38
Jim Phoenix
Not literally. Oh really, I missed that part. I had to watch this movie again.
00:37:42
box
She does. see see She, she, she, cause he's asking her all these questions. should she She's, she's, she's basically like, how do we just fuck instead? And like later on, he's like, you never answered me.
00:37:53
box
And she's like, no, I didn't.
00:37:56
Jim Phoenix
Now, was that the alien speaking or her?
00:37:56
box
So I think her, I mean, like, if you're going to be frozen, put on ice for like 57 years and you know, you're not getting a lot good for her, you know?
00:38:09
Jim Phoenix
That can be a lot about the chest beat now.
00:38:11
box
Go so get you some.
00:38:13
Jim Phoenix
Now, so you put the stores to end, but not the very least of the movies, right?
00:38:19
box
No, so I, my list, I put it at, um yeah, I put it as third worst movie.
00:38:23
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I see. It's like.
00:38:30
Jim Phoenix
Third worst, but the worst one of the actual alien titular movie franchise. You know, I mean, like the not Prometheus or the predators and the.
00:38:41
box
Yeah, i would I would rank this worse than four.
00:38:44
Jim Phoenix
OK, which is our next one, if you guys can count alien for resurrection, the same forces like a resurrection with Winona Reiner.
00:38:47
box
Yes, if you can.
00:38:51
box
Yeah, but it's four. We know it's four.
Alien Resurrection: A Mixed Bag
00:38:56
Jim Phoenix
What did you think, went okay, were you watching any of these in the theater? Originally.
00:39:02
box
No, no.
00:39:03
Jim Phoenix
Shit, really? I'm the only one? Okay.
00:39:05
box
I remember when this came out,
00:39:09
box
in 97, but I did not like horror or scary stuff at that time.
00:39:14
Jim Phoenix
I loved Horrors in 97.
00:39:17
box
now You know, 97 was just, was not the year of the horror.
00:39:17
Jim Phoenix
Huh? Oh, Horror. Sorry, I said something else. The Year of the Horror.
00:39:22
box
No.
00:39:26
Jim Phoenix
You sure do.
00:39:28
box
Exactly.
00:39:28
Jim Phoenix
So I remember watching this in the theater. I was a big horror fan. This is back when I had time to watch movies, I guess. And I was like, oh, when I was a writer and Sigourney Weaver, I can't wait to.
00:39:42
Jim Phoenix
Holy fuck, what's this? like i Can I go?
00:39:45
Jim Phoenix
yeah It's just all over the fucking place. She's playing back. Okay.
00:39:45
box
It is wild.
00:39:51
box
She is sexy basketball.
00:39:51
Jim Phoenix
If you ask me what this movie is about, she's playing basketball. That's the only thing I know what happens in this movie. That's it.
00:39:56
box
It's sexy, but also territorial basketball again against Ron Perlman, against Ron Perlman.
00:40:01
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. The end.
00:40:05
Jim Phoenix
Oh, I blocked that part up. but Yeah. But again, the cast is still stellar.
00:40:07
box
Yeah.
00:40:10
box
The cast is good. The cast is still really good.
00:40:12
Jim Phoenix
We're not a writer is going to be ever done my opinion. Uh,
00:40:16
box
And honestly, again, I would say that the director is still good.
00:40:16
Jim Phoenix
rob We said Ron Perlman.
00:40:22
box
We were going through good directors.
00:40:24
Jim Phoenix
John Perris, you're right, yeah.
00:40:25
box
We had, yeah, we have Janelle who did Amelie, who did the City of Lost Children.
00:40:31
Jim Phoenix
Amelie.
00:40:34
box
Like he's a good director. It's just, so let's talk about who it's written by.
00:40:39
Jim Phoenix
Oh, I didn't scroll up that far yet, hold on.
00:40:46
box
it's It's written by Joss Whedon.
00:40:46
Jim Phoenix
Oh, not Dan O'Banna and Joss Whedon. Oh, fuck.
00:40:49
box
Yeah, it's written by Joss Whedon.
00:40:52
Jim Phoenix
So why is there a basketball scene between like, okay, Ripley, you and this other girl, you have to get naked for basketball.
00:40:53
box
So...
00:41:00
Jim Phoenix
Why? ah That's how they play it in the space. They play it naked. What the fuck?
00:41:05
box
naked naked?
00:41:07
Jim Phoenix
And my imagination she is.
00:41:07
box
She's like...
00:41:09
Jim Phoenix
I don't know about your imagination. But no, but she is very scattered.
00:41:12
box
by No, my imagination, she's still in her granny panties.
00:41:16
Jim Phoenix
Granny fanny, so it's hot. But okay, it's not naked naked, but it's kind of sexy basketball.
00:41:18
box
yes ok but Yeah, it's so, it's supposed to be sexual tension, although she does it as like a threat towards Ron Perlman.
00:41:23
Jim Phoenix
It's sexual attention ball.
00:41:32
Jim Phoenix
Right.
00:41:32
box
He doesn't realize that. Anyway, it has Ron Perlman, it has Dan Hideo in it, it has... um Gosh. ah J.E.
00:41:43
box
Freeman. don't remember Oh, he's in Miller's Crossing. Oh, was in Miller's Crossing.
00:41:50
Jim Phoenix
The Raymond Cruz is in it. There's a tons of fucking people in this man.
00:41:54
box
There's a lot of fucking people. So the story is this. This is the story. It is now a shit ton in the future.
00:42:02
Jim Phoenix
200 years at least.
00:42:04
box
Yes. And they're still at it again. They still want them aliens. so what they do and this is like this fucking made me so mad but what they do is they clone Ripley from being molted in lava on this fucking space rock out in the middle of nowhere and when they clone her they also accidentally like clone an alien in her too because she had the chest
00:42:41
Jim Phoenix
hugger thing with her.
00:42:41
box
first i So they have they also have in a queen There so they have a queen they have Ripley, but she's not Ripley.
00:42:43
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:42:54
box
She's like a cross between an alien and Ripley If an alien and Ripley had a baby They did and there is a baby in this that's like a human alien
00:42:59
Jim Phoenix
Right. Wish they did, apparently.
00:43:10
box
And it has the worst, like, I guess, abortion scene. I don't know, the baby's out. It's a terrifying death. It's like the worst death I've ever seen in a movie.
00:43:22
Jim Phoenix
Really?
00:43:24
box
Yes.
00:43:25
Jim Phoenix
Let me bring you to kind of a Holocaust.
00:43:27
box
It's worse than that, I would say. I would think it would be worse than that. But basically, okay, so she's like half alien, half like human.
00:43:39
box
this ragtag group of people come in and they are pretty bitchin' with Ron Perlman. um ah
00:43:46
Jim Phoenix
They're basically marks. If I remember correctly, they're They're like the bad. They're bad than the bad. They're worse than the worst. The military is like, oh, they're the toughest of the tough.
00:43:53
box
Yeah, the worst of the worst, they're tough, they're not military, they're like, yeah, and Winona Ryder, Winona Ryder.
00:43:58
Jim Phoenix
They're inglorious bastards for space. Glorious space bastards from Pearlman and Renora.
00:44:05
box
ah
00:44:05
Jim Phoenix
Was she the fucking daughter of Ripley? That might have missed me.
00:44:09
box
No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:44:10
Jim Phoenix
mury No.
00:44:11
box
You're misremembering. So she comes because she wants to come and kill Ripley because she is like, aliens be bad.
00:44:13
Jim Phoenix
Fuck me, man.
00:44:18
Jim Phoenix
Oh.
00:44:20
box
Then you find out she's, she's an Android.
00:44:24
Jim Phoenix
She's the Android. Okay.
00:44:26
box
She's an Android. And she's, it's very funny because Sigourney Weaver in this is very like analytical, but almost animalist, like animal, animal-like.
00:44:36
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:44:38
Jim Phoenix
animals
00:44:39
box
And Winona Ryder is just like, teary, sad Android. And at the end of the movie, we get a gay kiss from Ron Perlman. And we get what I like to think is Ellen Ripley as, you know, an alien um and her girlfriend Winona Ryder who is
00:45:08
Jim Phoenix
And then an android.
00:45:09
box
and Android. Because at the very end, they look together in the future, and it's very it's very romantic.
00:45:12
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:45:17
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I've got so many issues with the movie at this point because Ripley's character arc, alien, great aliens, great alien three. What the fuck?
00:45:30
Jim Phoenix
Resurrection, what the shit does it seem Ripley? It can it be is it Ripley Ripley or just I don't know if I can go anymore. But if this between alien and aliens is like 60 years or whatever, fuck it is.
00:45:46
Jim Phoenix
And the other one, the other one was some other years. And this is not 200 years. How bad is a fucking company? They can't get a goddamn alien in 300 fucking years.
00:45:55
box
Okay, that's very true.
00:45:55
Jim Phoenix
Like, like, are we going to find them one and Ripley?
00:45:57
box
I feel like...
00:45:58
Jim Phoenix
That's all the fucking they find them. How bad are you guys?
00:46:00
box
Baby Ripley just has like, she's an alien magnet.
00:46:05
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, believe it or not, I think that's how they get Ripley's believe it or not, because we can't believe this shit and infinite fucking credit, like the mega company of God can't find this shit in 300 years.
00:46:05
box
Just aliens wanna... ah
00:46:19
Jim Phoenix
And that's just from the movies we've seen on the alien franchise. You go back to Prometheus, they really fucking dropped the ball now.
00:46:25
box
They fucking drop the ball all the time. This company is really bad at what it does.
00:46:29
Jim Phoenix
The worst. There's just a fucking worst company. It's mildly down on chunk of steaks.
00:46:33
box
They really are. It's basically like, what's that one in Pokemon? Oh, Team Rocket? Like, they can't do anything right, but they still keep trying.
00:46:41
Jim Phoenix
Thank you. That's all I keep trying. The person running these tag lines need to keep trying. It's been more than 200 years. The beginning has just started.
00:46:51
box
That means nothing.
00:46:53
Jim Phoenix
Nothing whatsoever.
00:46:54
box
That means nothing.
00:46:54
Jim Phoenix
Like we give up like this Sigourney Weaver. Uh, you're going to see this shit.
00:46:58
box
that's it That should
Alien vs. Predator: Fun or Failure?
00:47:00
box
be the tagline. We give up.
00:47:01
Jim Phoenix
We go.
00:47:03
box
We give up.
00:47:04
Jim Phoenix
Well, this is like six point two. OK, so after all this, that is the last alien movie. That's purely alien.
00:47:11
box
I liked it. I kind of liked it. I kind of liked it. I got pissed off, but I did kind of like it.
00:47:17
Jim Phoenix
You see, you put it above. You put it above three.
00:47:22
box
I did.
00:47:23
Jim Phoenix
OK, what would you get this through the lies?
00:47:24
box
I liked it better. Oh, I guess maybe a 2.5.
00:47:33
Jim Phoenix
I can see a 2.5 and just because I got bored in the theater, I was just fucking restless. I do remember that.
00:47:39
box
Like, honestly, if again, like this is the Jaws 3 treatment. If you look at it like an alien movie, you're going to be pissed off. If you look at it like a weird fanfic to come to life, you're going to have a good time.
00:47:52
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Maybe, maybe. And I think that's going to be my Romulus experience.
00:48:02
box
interesting okay okay yes
00:48:03
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. OK, so now, God, I guess technically the alien versus predator thing, because we're doing like Jason versus Freddie, fucking Tyson versus Logan or whatever that's supposed to be. I don't know. But we're now we do alien versus predator. The first one you think was good.
00:48:23
box
okay so i will also preface this with that I was trying to do it in some kind of order and I got a little bit mixed up and I actually ended up watching Prometheus and Covenant first before Alien vs.
00:48:36
Jim Phoenix
Okay, and then, all right.
00:48:37
box
Predator and Alien vs. Predator was a breath of fresh air.
00:48:44
Jim Phoenix
Okay, that's why you put it higher.
00:48:45
box
I had fun. I think that's part of it because it is a fun movie.
00:48:47
Jim Phoenix
Okay.
00:48:51
box
It is a popcorn movie. It does not take itself seriously, and nor should you.
00:48:55
Jim Phoenix
No. No, it was basically predator to predator. One took us seriously. Predator two did not. Anything from predator to onwards, or any predator universe, it did not take itself seriously.
00:49:08
box
Hey, except for prey. Pray did.
00:49:11
Jim Phoenix
Oh, fuck us. I'm watching on the airplane. Yeah, sure. Pray.
00:49:16
Jim Phoenix
We're all kind of doing now. So alien versus a predator 2004 ish.
00:49:20
box
Alien versus predator. Yes. 2004.
00:49:25
Jim Phoenix
Uh,
00:49:27
box
It was super goofy.
00:49:30
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, it was a movie.
00:49:32
box
It was super goofy. Um, I did like it. I liked the female main character. We have Bishop back. We have Lance Hendrickson.
00:49:42
Jim Phoenix
Yes, we do.
00:49:42
box
Hendrickson. Um, I liked that.
00:49:45
Jim Phoenix
It's a PG-13. See, that's the fucking, it goes goofy as fuck.
00:49:47
box
It is PG-13. So it's super goofy.
00:49:49
Jim Phoenix
Everyone else did ours, by the way.
00:49:51
box
but I liked it because it was also kind of like it was kind of like pinhead puzzle box because if they're basically go inside the spaceship to figure out what's going on and so and then it keeps changing like the the whole ship keeps changing so it's kind of fun in that regard it's kind of like cube like I said kind of puzzle boxy um
00:50:05
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:50:19
box
And it also has like, it has a main character who's female and she's pretty cool and she's pretty badass. And at the end, she's a human, but she teams up with ah the predator.
00:50:28
Jim Phoenix
She the alien or predator. Oh, well.
00:50:36
box
So her and the predator, and I like that too.
00:50:36
Jim Phoenix
Oh.
00:50:38
box
That's pretty fun.
00:50:40
Jim Phoenix
The the team the one saw.
00:50:40
box
So like, look, if I could be friends with a predator, I mean, that would be, well, wait, okay, back up. I don't want to say this.
00:50:49
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, you might want to say that out loud again. If I can be friends with a predator, I mean, Epstein did have his own island.
00:50:55
box
Nevermind. Nevermind. Nevermind.
00:50:57
Jim Phoenix
You want one for an island at very least be in a spaceship, too. So, you know, what I do find a thread. So alien resurrected alien for. Had Ron Perlman, who is in Sons of Anarchy, Alien versus Predator has Tommy Flanagan, who is also in Sons of Anarchy.
00:51:06
box
Yeah.
00:51:13
box
Yes, he was. This is a pretty sense of anarchy. This is just getting the cast together, really.
00:51:17
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:51:20
Jim Phoenix
And again, another great fucking cast.
00:51:24
box
Yeah, no, the cast is really good. It's fun.
00:51:29
box
It's like, I'm kind of gay.
00:51:29
Jim Phoenix
And ah allegedly, allegedly,
00:51:35
box
There's like two guys that kind of like hit it off and it's kind of gay.
00:51:39
Jim Phoenix
Well, you know, they're all going to die.
00:51:41
box
It's kind of gay.
00:51:41
Jim Phoenix
But Schwarzenegger agreed to do the movie.
00:51:45
box
What?
00:51:46
Jim Phoenix
Allegedly, this is according to the trivia on IMDB. Schwarzenegger agreed to do the movie only if you lost the election for governor of California. But since he won, he couldn't do.
00:51:55
box
Womp womp.
00:51:56
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, he couldn't do the movie since he won. So he had to back out of it.
00:52:00
box
That's funny.
00:52:00
Jim Phoenix
It was just like a of fucking cameo or something like that, but.
00:52:04
box
Yeah, probably it would be like a cameo.
00:52:06
Jim Phoenix
No.
00:52:07
box
I'm glad that we did get Lance Hendrickson and he played basically a Weyland, like the billionaire of the Weyland Corporation before.
00:52:10
Jim Phoenix
Yes.
00:52:17
Jim Phoenix
Way on Smithers.
00:52:18
box
And this is like kind of a prequel too, because it's like Weyland before Weyland and what was the other one called? I always get this one confused. Weyland Yutani.
00:52:28
Jim Phoenix
Oh, yeah.
00:52:29
box
So it was before like the Yutani crossover, I guess.
00:52:32
Jim Phoenix
The crossovers and the tail lines.
00:52:34
box
The merger.
00:52:35
Jim Phoenix
Whoever wins, we lose. it's It's again, it's a popcorn movie.
00:52:39
box
It's a popcorn movie it is a hundred percent.
00:52:41
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. So what would you give this one?
00:52:43
box
It's a fun movie.
00:52:44
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I didn't hate it.
00:52:45
box
Oh it um I'm looking at my rating because I did I did rate all of these and I don't want to like misquote myself You know, never mind.
00:52:49
Jim Phoenix
What would you give it, though?
00:52:59
box
I can't get it. Um, I would give this like a 3.5.
00:53:03
Jim Phoenix
A three point five.
00:53:04
box
I had fun. Yeah, I had fun Look
00:53:06
Jim Phoenix
Holy fuck. I was given a point five.
00:53:10
box
Sometimes you got to just shut your brain off and watch aliens.
00:53:13
Jim Phoenix
That's what master basins for.
00:53:16
box
Look, I again, I'm also going to preface this that I thought Prometheus before this.
00:53:22
Jim Phoenix
Uh huh.
00:53:23
box
So it was fun to get back to actual aliens instead of whatever the fuck that was.
00:53:27
Jim Phoenix
For me, OK, well, so so we'll do that one and then alien resurrection. No, sorry. Alien versus predator requiem. This is the next one in there.
00:53:36
box
Yes.
00:53:38
Jim Phoenix
That's just shit, right?
00:53:40
box
I was so upset. So this is like the second to worst for me.
00:53:45
Jim Phoenix
Okay.
00:53:45
box
It was upsetting. It was because they had a really good premise. They were actually going to take the events that happened in the first one and like add to it.
00:53:53
Jim Phoenix
Right.
00:53:55
box
And then it just was garbage stinky poo poo. As we say in the biz.
00:54:04
Jim Phoenix
Garbage stinky poo poo. It's I think that even IMDB agrees on this one.
00:54:06
box
Garbage stinky poo poo.
00:54:09
Jim Phoenix
Uh, it,
00:54:09
box
Yeah.
00:54:12
Jim Phoenix
I can't even name people. Steven Pasquale's in it. It's Rick F. John Ortiz. ah ah Even they're kind of like, besides Sam Trammell.
00:54:22
box
yeah
00:54:27
Jim Phoenix
I do like Sam Trammell. So the the cast is good. It's not as strong as the other cast were. The movie is definitely, it's a Christmas movie.
00:54:39
Jim Phoenix
You know this Christmas there will be no peace on earth.
00:54:40
box
Yeah, barely.
00:54:42
Jim Phoenix
It's a fucking Christmas me and goes back to rated R You know what
00:54:45
box
It's really not, though, because there's like it's not it's not like, look, I would love Christmas alien. I would. I would love that.
00:54:57
box
It's really not. It's like about a small town and like. Their dynamics and their I'm like, and I fucking don't care at all.
00:55:08
Jim Phoenix
This is going to flip you out. I'm going to change my fucking vote. I should like this one better in the first.
00:55:15
box
No, it's dumb.
00:55:16
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:55:17
box
It's boring.
00:55:17
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, this is my three.
00:55:17
box
I fell asleep. I fell asleep.
00:55:21
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, it's all good.
00:55:22
box
And then I had to wake up and then rewatch it. And I was furious
Prometheus: Ambition and Flaws
00:55:26
box
because nothing fucking happens.
00:55:26
Jim Phoenix
OK.
00:55:29
Jim Phoenix
See, but it is happening because we if we had this small town in Colorado, by the way, if they band together.
00:55:29
box
It's dumb.
00:55:37
Jim Phoenix
and get all these illegal aliens that predators them out of there.
00:55:40
box
What up?
00:55:44
Jim Phoenix
The entire landscape shifts.
00:55:45
box
a
00:55:49
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
00:55:49
box
It did make money though, it did make money.
00:55:51
Jim Phoenix
Oh shit, man. One of their, uh, tags are weapons fire. Oh, I can't wait to do weapons fire in this one.
00:55:56
box
Oh my god, it came out on Christmas in 2000- oh wait no.
00:56:02
Jim Phoenix

box
It came out on- why the fuck would this come out on Christmas?
00:56:10
Jim Phoenix
Merry Christmas. 2007, man.
00:56:13
box
See, why didn't Terrifier 3 come out on Christmas? And this come out never.
00:56:18
Jim Phoenix
That'll be fucking funny though. Terrifier 3 came out on Christmas. I think that's for the new Christmas movie.
00:56:23
box
Well, it is a Christmas movie.
00:56:23
Jim Phoenix
So I'm going to give this one a bit of a boost.
00:56:26
box
Bo.

Jim Phoenix
I spoke too quickly. I'm going to watch it again. Watch this one again.
00:56:31

Jim Phoenix
Because yeah it was like a 40 day of nights type thing.
00:56:32
box

box

Jim Phoenix
And it's got Nomi Rapas. Oh yeah, it's in her name right now.

Jim Phoenix
Ben and Nick Wong's in it.
00:58:34
box
It's boring, boring, boring.
00:58:35
Jim Phoenix
This is not sexy as fuck, dude.
00:58:38
box
nothing happens there's like okay so there's like a tall goof looking face he drinks a black thing and then he just like fucking rumbles i don't know and then there's like black goo and then there's more black goo and then he goes crazy and then they come so dumb so dumb
00:58:43
Jim Phoenix
Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah.
00:58:57
Jim Phoenix
Oh, I didn't say the beginning was good. Yeah, I just that's the credit rule. That's the that's the credits. That's the opening credits, by the way.
00:59:06
box
That's part of it, though. So they're looking.
00:59:07
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, that's what I was saying. It's like it does like it does not start.
00:59:10
box
Yes, they basically it's like these archaeologists that like find very easily how the fuck to get to what they think are the engineers of creating humanity.
00:59:22
Jim Phoenix
Right, which is great because then it takes them like three, four hundred years after that to find one goddamn alien.
00:59:29
box
ah check
00:59:30
Jim Phoenix
Like we can get this no problem. We've discovered this shit. Oh, what? What words that were words are just distress speaking. Where do we fucking shoot these escape? Pause that I forgot.
00:59:41
box
where it's oh wait oh is this no this is the one with the gays okay sorry this is the one yeah this is the one where the i think with the gays well i think that g-a-y-s no yeah yeah i yeah
00:59:41
Jim Phoenix
Fuck, man, that's the only thing that's. Yeah.
00:59:47
Jim Phoenix
The gays.
00:59:51
Jim Phoenix
The gays? Can we spell this?
00:59:57
Jim Phoenix
Okay, so you're saying the gay is not like the G-A-Z-V. Like the gays at something. You're actually saying the gays. So yes. Yes, old timer. What are about the gays in this movie?
01:00:09
box
I think there are two that are there's there's like a couple there's cute yeah they're cute yeah I think they're a couple yes I think they're a couple because the one guy is just like hi buddy let's be friends the guys like I don't need any friends and then like later they're like hanging on each other and like it's cute it's cute I think this is the one oh they just
01:00:12
Jim Phoenix
there There are two people who are the gays. Oh, there are a couple. So there's plural, there's the gays.
01:00:28
Jim Phoenix
Let's fuck.
01:00:31
Jim Phoenix
All right. So sure. I've got so many fucking, this is also one where the ship is falling.
01:00:40
box
So boring.
01:00:41
Jim Phoenix
Remember that the, these two people at the very end, like Naomi and Charlize are trying to escape a ship that is like rolling after them. And everyone else is like, just walk to the fucking side.
01:00:52
box
Hmm.
01:00:55
Jim Phoenix
It's rolling.
01:00:55
box
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:00:56
Jim Phoenix
It's a fucking small shit. It's a fucking ring.
01:00:59
box
Well, the problem, the problem is this is not really ah like, it's not really and an alien alien movie.
01:00:59
Jim Phoenix
Walk to the side.
01:01:09
box
You know, like So yeah, so Weyland has like a fucking puppet, like that's Michael Fassbender, like this weirdo Android.
01:01:11
Jim Phoenix
That's more of the of a prequelly. It's got the prequel field because we see that the the guys there are not really there. Waylon's sort of there and it's Waylon's. He just wants to live forever and meets the creator and.
01:01:32
Jim Phoenix
Yes. Prototype Android type, yeah, yeah.
01:01:37
box
yeah this weirdo fucking android who's like really weird and gross and i hate him and he's boring as fuck and he's in there and he wants he basically fucks them all over hardcore yeah on purpose yeah super on purpose um yeah
01:01:45
Jim Phoenix
I hate him Hardcore on purpose fucking on purpose, man Yeah It's it's weird though if
01:02:09
box
I mean, that's, that's it for me.
01:02:13
Jim Phoenix
This is actually the third highest rating alien moving the franchise was seven on IMDB.
01:02:19
box
So boring.
01:02:20
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. I didn't enjoy the first part of it. Like it was like, Oh, it starts out really fuck man. They're going way back. They don't really explain Dick about him drinking some black shit and like trying to more black shit or I don't know.
01:02:34
Jim Phoenix
Then they fast forward through like the millennia is to have human life. i Like, Oh, that's not very interesting. And then they do Magneto. I mean, Michael Fassbender, who just got off doing Magneto.
01:02:45
box
yeah he's
01:02:48
Jim Phoenix
And girl, I mean, these were all great actors.
01:02:50
box
a good actor i'm not saying that he's not i'm just i oh i can i can point to it i can point to it it's no i feel like it's Ridley Scott i hate to say it but i feel like
01:02:53
Jim Phoenix
That's the thing. It's like, we can't really point to, okay, I can point to what's wrong with the fucking writing is wrong with it.
01:03:02
Jim Phoenix
Sean Harrison. It's the writing, right? It's gotta be the writing.
01:03:10
Jim Phoenix
You think it's really Scott, the director.
01:03:12
box
i Feel like it is I feel like it is because it feels like No offense like he's kind of sucking his own dick at this point and Sure like Yeah, right.
01:03:24
Jim Phoenix
Hey, if you can do that, no offense taken, I'm guessing. He's like, no offense taken.
01:03:28
box
I get it like look I can't suck my own dick. I you know I can't like I don't have the money and the power He was given a shitload of money Thank you.
01:03:35
Jim Phoenix
I'll get you yoga classes for Christmas.
01:03:38
box
He was given this
01:03:38
Jim Phoenix
You're welcome.
01:03:40
box
opportunity to do a thing and he took it and good for him but it's like so like I could imagine him throughout the years because again this is 2012 the first one was 1979 like throughout the years being like yeah I could add this to it I could add that to it and to me looking at it it was like this is too much this is that's
01:04:03
Jim Phoenix
Is this the George Lucas syndrome when he starts doing the fucking special edition prequels and the putting Han Solo and Jabba was fucking hot walking.
01:04:06
box
what I feel like yeah
01:04:10
box
Exactly. Right. This is how I feel it is.
01:04:14
Jim Phoenix
Uh, yeah, maybe.
01:04:15
box
Like, i I feel like it's walking backwards because of all this. And again, I guess good for him because he has the money and the power to do that.
01:04:26
box
But to me, it's just like he's sucking his own dick. I don't know.
01:04:31
Jim Phoenix
Well, I can kind of see that and I do know the movie is not the best Alien movie by fucking stretch of imagination.
01:04:42
box
No. So boring.
01:04:46
Jim Phoenix
But, but I've got to ask because Ridley Scott also does Blade Runner in 82, which is like a three years after Alien comes out, right?
01:04:56
box
Which is amazing.
01:04:58
Jim Phoenix
However, the s sequel to Blade Runner in 2017, I think, is that really Scott as well?
01:04:58
box
Yes.
01:05:04
box
I think so.
01:05:08
box
That I don't know.
01:05:11
Jim Phoenix
I'm gonna click on through, I'm gonna find out in a second.
01:05:11
box
um Although, according, okay.
01:05:14
Jim Phoenix
No, it's not, it dead it's Dennis Vindam, okay, so it's not really Scott, so it's just, as I'm saying, like that Blade Runner sucked.
01:05:20
box
Yeah, I did.
01:05:21
Jim Phoenix
People gave an eight, really.
01:05:21
box
I feel like, again, it was like going back to an old thing that we didn't really need. We didn't really need this.
01:05:29
Jim Phoenix
but The prequels? No, we didn't.
01:05:31
box
We didn't really need this.
01:05:33
Jim Phoenix
But.
01:05:33
box
You know what I like in aliens? Aliens. That's what I like.
01:05:37
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:05:39
box
And this was like,
01:05:39
Jim Phoenix
Not the love story triangle between a scientist and an archaeologist.
01:05:41
box
Well, and this is like the weird engineers that were like weird face.
01:05:47
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, we didn't even know that they were created because it's just kind of a cop out.
01:05:48
box
I don't like it.
01:05:51
box
Oh, I don't.
01:05:52
Jim Phoenix
It's more of like a.
01:05:54
box
And it was so easy. It was just like, oh, look, we have a star map to go find the people that I mean, honestly, this whole thing was like a gift of that guy going aliens, you know, like that weirdo like this is that movie.
01:06:07
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Oh, the history channel.
01:06:11
box
This is exactly that movie.
01:06:11
Jim Phoenix
So I'm guessing you're not rating this one high in the list of.
01:06:15
box
No, I'm not.
01:06:18
Jim Phoenix
This is your worst.
01:06:18
box
I'm not.
01:06:18
Jim Phoenix
Oh, my. Is this your worst one?
01:06:20
box
This is my worst one.
01:06:22
Jim Phoenix
Holy shit, that covenant, this is your worst one.
01:06:26
box
This is my worst one.
01:06:28
Jim Phoenix
Wow.
01:06:29
box
Yeah, I did not like it.
01:06:30
Jim Phoenix
Wow. I I think it's better than four.
01:06:31
box
I thought it was dumb.
01:06:36
box
um
01:06:36
Jim Phoenix
And three.
01:06:38
box
I was more entertained with four. I was angry at three, but I understood what three was. This, I don't understand what it is.
01:06:44
Jim Phoenix
Take the cast out of it. Take the cast out of it. You're gonna be still entertained with four.
01:06:51
box
Yeah.
01:06:52
Jim Phoenix
Oh my God, i think the story I think this is a better story.
01:06:55
box
See, here's the thing. This, maybe to you, this is a better story, except for an Aliens film. It is unentertaining.
01:07:06
box
It is not, and it doesn't really add anything substance to aliens okay alien the alien is from a black goo I guess okay let's throw my hands up in the air I don't get i okay they were searching for the engineers that created humanity
01:07:12
Jim Phoenix
but Okay.
01:07:22
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. I mean, the the tagline is a search in our big, so it's a search for our beginning could lead to our end. So I think there's, I think he was searching for God. Like, yeah, the, the, the, so being the creative humans, they found the destruction of alien.
01:07:42
box
And they found stupid CGI-looking motherfuckers that looked dumb.
01:07:47
Jim Phoenix
Right.
01:07:50
Jim Phoenix
But okay, would this be what yours to come out in?
01:07:50
box
They looked dumb.
01:07:53
Jim Phoenix
17?
01:07:54
box
Uh, no, 2012.
01:07:55
Jim Phoenix
No. 12, okay.
01:07:57
box
Yeah.
01:07:58
Jim Phoenix
Would this be a reflection of mankind, human God, I guess, going out trying to, so they're trying to find God and God ends up creating something that basically kills itself.
01:08:15
Jim Phoenix
Is that a reflection of God creating man who then kills God?
01:08:21
box
I think it was more of a reflection of of people getting high on their own supply.
01:08:24
Jim Phoenix
a nietzsche
01:08:29
box
I think this was answering a question we really didn't super need to be asked. I would be much more interested to know about Weyland-Yutani and the world of Weyland-Yutani instead of, Hey, I wonder where we were made oh look i found a star map let's go there oh they're kind of assholes and now there's like this weird like goop that's killing us all um womp womp and an evil android just running and around
01:08:58
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Well, I will say some of these, uh, hang up there. Right. Some of these prequels, especially the posters are really good. Really well done. The posters, these are HR Geiger ask.
01:09:16
box
Yes, they they did it a great job with the posters. They did a great job, I would even say, with like the locations. like It did feel very interesting, but that's not enough to like keep anything.
01:09:31
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:09:34
box
It's just water.
01:09:34
Jim Phoenix
I agree.
Alien: Covenant: Disappointment and Hopes
01:09:35
box
i've I watched this in the theaters and I was bored out of my mind. I watched this at home and I for honestly, I cannot remember half of what happened in this movie because.
01:09:45
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, I was I was so excited to see this and I saw I was like, ah it was better than four.
01:09:48
box
but
01:09:51
Jim Phoenix
Oh, yeah, it was better than four. Fuck it. All right. So what? would How many of those would you give it? Look at those.
01:09:56
box
One.
01:09:57
Jim Phoenix
Wow. You fucking hate this one.
01:09:59
box
Don't like it.
01:09:59
Jim Phoenix
OK.
01:10:01
box
It's not interesting. It doesn't really add to the alien.
01:10:05
Jim Phoenix
It's a three for me.
01:10:07
box
That much.
01:10:08
Jim Phoenix
It's a three for me, man.
01:10:11
box
The acting's good.
01:10:12
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:10:14
box
I can see that.
01:10:15
Jim Phoenix
OK, so one, we're going on to Alien Covenant, which is the next one.
01:10:19
box
Covenant.
01:10:20
Jim Phoenix
And what would you give?
01:10:21
box
Yes. Where we see David again.
01:10:23
Jim Phoenix
Oh, no. Right. David Fassbender's Michael Fassbender playing David's back. We've got.
01:10:30
box
And he's playing andnie' is playing a guy with a slight southern accent.
01:10:39
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, and and Danny McBride in this one as well by the way ah Juicy spool a before he got completely kicked out of Hollywood for faking being attacked in Chicago and Paying actors to attack him So ah the cast is
01:10:40
box
ah was big I was confused with his accent. Billy Crudup is in this, Danny McBride, Catherine Watterson.
01:11:00
box
but Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
01:11:09
Jim Phoenix
Probably the weakest of the bunch.
01:11:13
Jim Phoenix
I mean, really, honestly, this this is not the best cast they picked. For a pure alien, I do like the animal bride. And ah Michael Fassbender, but it's just not.
01:11:25
box
Yeah. Um, it does have Catherine Watterson, but she wasn't really in a lot more that I could name.
01:11:30
Jim Phoenix
In it that much, you know, the fucking tagline is run.
01:11:33
box
get Well.
01:11:36
Jim Phoenix
From the spaceship that's cooling slowly, you could just run it on the other side.
01:11:39
box
Uh, that's so funny.
01:11:39
Jim Phoenix
That should be the tail end to the previous one.
01:11:43
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. And it's a sequel to Prometheus, but it's still a prequel to other things.
01:11:49
box
Yes. Yeah.
01:11:53
Jim Phoenix
Okay.
01:11:54
box
yeah
01:11:55
Jim Phoenix
What? Because these are getting fucking weird. By this time, I'll be honest, when I heard Dan McBride's doing an alien movie, with Dan McBride's doing an alien movie?
01:12:01
box
there.
01:12:04
Jim Phoenix
Interesting. I guess, cool, because he was doing a bunch of horror shit back then. He was starting to get into horror then. I'm like, okay, maybe Danny could do this. I would watch it. Sure, why not?
01:12:15
Jim Phoenix
I was not excited. I was excited for the previous one. After watching that one, I was not excited to it. It was like the sequel no one asked for.
01:12:23
box
Okay, so I was I was actually I was excited for this movie.
01:12:23
Jim Phoenix
It's not even a fucking sequel to the fucking movie.
01:12:32
box
Um, because I thought, oh, look, we're getting back to aliens.
01:12:33
Jim Phoenix
Really? yeah kick
01:12:38
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:12:39
box
Um, cool.
01:12:39
Jim Phoenix
How long did that last?
01:12:41
box
Cat. My cat is stepping on me. Uh, one second. Cat. Cat. Cat. Okay. Sorry.
01:12:51
box
Sorry, everybody.
01:12:51
Jim Phoenix
Okay.
01:12:52
box
I'm back.
01:12:53
Jim Phoenix
Okay.
01:12:54
box
I'm okay. I'm okay. The cat was on me, but I'm better. Um, okay. So. in this i was actually excited because i was like oh we're getting back to aliens and we're getting back to ships and we're getting back to the things that i like um yes kind of yeah so we're on a colonization ship who has like a bunch of colonists in stasis and they're like trying to figure out
01:13:08
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:13:15
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, like how long that that fucking thought last.
01:13:29
box
like a bunch of ships. um I mean, I forgot what even happens in the beginning.
01:13:36
Jim Phoenix
Oh, I can do fucking watch.
01:13:39
box
Except for but Michael Fassbender trying to do his other next. ah
01:13:45
Jim Phoenix
It's uh, okay. This is from someone else in 2020 104 almost 11 years after the Prometheus thing the deuce colonisation usss coven is on course for remote planet who cares 2,000 people New world except for a rogue transmission entices the crew to a nearby habitable plant resembles earth and And then a disaster after disaster, peaceful explanations, biological foes, something, something jazz hands.
01:13:49
box
yeah
01:14:02
box
Yeah.
01:14:18
Jim Phoenix
Who gives a shit?
01:14:18
box
And that's where they also find the other Michael Fassbender robot, Android, who is David, the bad one.
01:14:25
Jim Phoenix
And Naomi's dead then?
01:14:30
box
um so I, well, we don't know. We think that she died in some kind of crash, but then we find out later, no, David like dissected her and like was making weird shit with her to basically get the alien.
01:14:37
Jim Phoenix
The crash?
01:14:48
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:14:52
box
Well, this is the sexy one though too, because I remember in the trailers that I always like focused on that one scene in the shower.
01:14:53
Jim Phoenix
And.
01:15:01
box
where the two people are going to get it on and then like the little alien tail comes up.
01:15:02
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:15:05
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, i I can see that, but I would rather.
01:15:07
box
Yeah.
01:15:08
Jim Phoenix
OK, would you have rather have this movie as it is or be an actual sequel with Naomi Rappers? still in it. Like they're actually going to hunt down the fucking engineers and we get the more of the engineer story versus the random ass shit we got.
01:15:23
box
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:15:25
Jim Phoenix
Really? I'd rather see that.
01:15:27
box
No, I want nothing to do with the engineers. Get the fuck out of here. I don't care about you in the slightest. You know what I want to see in an alien movie? Not fucking engineers. I want to see aliens.
01:15:39
Jim Phoenix
The aliens are engineers. The engineers are aliens.
01:15:42
box
They're nuts.
01:15:43
Jim Phoenix
Fine, fine, fine.
01:15:43
box
They're not.
01:15:45
Jim Phoenix
I just want to see more Naomi.
01:15:45
box
They are and they're not.
01:15:46
Jim Phoenix
if man's just
01:15:48
box
I I did like ah David coming on to the other Android for us. ah Because I was like, what the fuck is going on with this? um So basically they play a switcheroo, the a the androids, because of course they do, because they look the same.
01:16:08
Jim Phoenix
Double trouble.
01:16:08
box
um
01:16:09
Jim Phoenix
Freaky Friday. It's Vince Vaughn's spirit goes into Michael Fassbender.
01:16:11
box
Yeah, they play a little Freaky Friday.
01:16:16
box
Also played by Michael Fassbender, who is also Michael Fassbender.
01:16:18
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, and they have a gay friend.
01:16:23
Jim Phoenix
my like Michael, Michael Gaybender? What the hell? Oh, no.
01:16:28
box
All right, so this one does have aliens. It does have a ship.
01:16:31
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:16:32
box
I did like the one scene where, because she's, I believe also a safety officer. um Her husband gets killed when they come out of stasis.
01:16:45
box
He dies, which is sad. um So she is also mourning him while also trying to survive. um it's It is a lot of shit going on, but I do like the scene when they come back and she's like, I can't let you, you know, I can't let you into the ship.
01:17:06
box
And they basically have to quarantine this one lady and all hell breaks loose.
01:17:07
Jim Phoenix
Throwback. Yeah.
01:17:14
box
And again, it's, and there's a Jewish person in here, I think, because there's one shot of her.
01:17:20
Jim Phoenix
We've seen the sour sheen. That's why. Oh, we've seen her. Sorry.
01:17:23
box
Yeah, exactly.
01:17:23
Jim Phoenix
Let's see the circus.
01:17:24
box
No, this hour. Well, no, we do see the showers.
01:17:26
Jim Phoenix
Well, she's a circumcise.
01:17:29
box
We don't see that. We don't see that. This is in, uh, uh, resident evil.
01:17:33
Jim Phoenix
Rather than evil. That way I know I knew where you're going with that. Cause that's when we go into this.
01:17:37
box
But we, we see that she has a star of David necklace and that's it.
01:17:41
Jim Phoenix
Hmm. Oh yeah. Yeah.
01:17:42
box
We don't talk about it.
01:17:44
Jim Phoenix
No, don't even mention that shit.
01:17:44
box
ah We just see it.
01:17:48
box
Nope.
01:17:48
Jim Phoenix
That is like space juice as it becomes a Chappelle bit later on, but it's about, yeah, there are some things that bug me about this movie.
01:17:48
box
We're not going to even mention to that. Nope.
01:17:57
Jim Phoenix
And it goes back to bad ideas. This goes, but this movie goes back to premise. Bad things happen to dumb fucking people in this movie.
01:18:04
box
Yeah.
01:18:04
Jim Phoenix
Like, Oh, we are on a planet. We haven't discovered before. Do we send probes down? Do we center Android down? No, fuck it.
01:18:15
Jim Phoenix
Let's just go on the vacation down there.
01:18:17
box
Yep.
01:18:17
Jim Phoenix
Nothing bad happens.
01:18:19
box
Yep.
01:18:19
Jim Phoenix
Like what the fuck's wrong with you guys?
01:18:20
box
Yep. It's so dumb. We have all this technology. Why don't we have a fucking droid?
01:18:27
Jim Phoenix
Like I just don't even a rover just fucking just send that David David go give me some shit Send the redshirt first man.
01:18:30
box
Yeah. Exactly goes on the I hate to say a bit like go son the Android out
01:18:39
Jim Phoenix
Send the fucking redshirt first. We learned there's no there's not the prime director, but there's no like Command protocols for a new planet like what the fuck's wrong with these fucking Season explorers that they don't know anything.
01:18:54
box
no They don't know anything
01:19:00
Jim Phoenix
I Was a new land what should we do? I don't know. This this is all like go sharp Alright, so what would you use use do you like this one was bringing the alien back? What it would you give this one out of five? Where do you rank this?
01:19:11
Jim Phoenix
amongst your
01:19:12
box
But I found it. Okay. So I would give this a 2.5.
01:19:21
Jim Phoenix
2.5, so that posted above alien three, but below alien four.
01:19:25
box
Yeah.
01:19:28
box
Yeah, actually, Alien 4, I gave a 2.5.
01:19:30
Jim Phoenix
Okay, so kind of ties, okay.
01:19:33
box
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this this is about the same level.
01:19:33
Jim Phoenix
Shit.
01:19:37
box
Yeah.
01:19:37
Jim Phoenix
I, God, and the, post I love the posters. I fucking love these posters.
01:19:41
box
The posters are great.
01:19:42
Jim Phoenix
They can just like show me, a if you send me an art book, we have some of these posters, like fuck yes, it's much better than a movie.
01:19:47
box
I mean, yeah, Geiger is, there's a reason why it's, it's very haunting, you know, there's a reason why they're so cool.
01:19:54
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:19:56
box
It's very beautiful.
01:19:58
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:19:58
box
The movie is not.
01:20:02
Jim Phoenix
It did worse in IMDB than the previous one, and. I don't know, I just. It's like the sequel, no one fucking asked for at this point, it's becomes like Indiana Jones and a crystal skull.
01:20:17
Jim Phoenix
Like, fuck me, I want to like this move I do, but I just fucking kids can't.
01:20:21
box
just it doesn't really add anything again like i don't i don't care about but the engineers i don't i really don't my god
01:20:25
Jim Phoenix
No, it's just.
01:20:32
Jim Phoenix
That this is. Yeah, I read it, but I would rather would watch Naomi go after the engineers than watch this movie.
01:20:44
Jim Phoenix
Which is about like she's fucking business. Whatever.
01:20:48
box
I forgot I gave Alien versus Predator 4.0 before.
01:20:51
Jim Phoenix
Jesus fucking Christ. for So, okay, they yeah, it's it's not the worst movie. I would probably rank it around Alien 4. You said you tied for Alien 4?
01:21:02
Jim Phoenix
I can see that. It ties with Alien 4 for me as well. I didn't like Alien 4 that much at all.
01:21:06
box
Yeah, yeah.
01:21:07
Jim Phoenix
I think I probably have to give it to you.
01:21:09
box
Yeah, it's 2.5 for me. It's the same as Alien 4.
01:21:11
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Which leads me to... the last, holy God, the last movie, Alien Waimulus, which came out this year, and we're gonna spoil it a little bit, so if you haven't seen Waimulus, just watch it, it's like two hours or some shit like that, I don't know.
01:21:19
box
um Yeah. Yes, this little bit.
01:21:30
box
It just came on streaming so you can go stream it.

01:21:36
box
Well, I i bought it on i brought it on Prime.
01:21:39

Bottom row, okay.
01:21:39
box

01:21:43
Jim Phoenix
I don't know. but
01:21:45
box
i'll I'll watch it again. I'll watch it again, so sure.
01:21:49
Jim Phoenix
I'm going to. OK, give me give me this bill on Romulus.
Alien Romulus: Continuity Concerns
01:21:58
box
Okay, so we start out. um We are on a colony. It is hard work to do colony work.
01:22:08
Jim Phoenix
That's what Alien Romulus is much of hooker who cares. Sorry, continue.
01:22:15
box
yeah Okay, all right.
01:22:17
Jim Phoenix
Oh, oh, oh.
01:22:19
box
It's funny, you asked me to do something and then you interrupt me to end up doing it.
01:22:24
Jim Phoenix
I like this.
01:22:25
box
So basically, um miss wick this lady and her brother are trying to get out of this colony because the colony so fucking sucks ass.
01:22:27
Jim Phoenix
Maybe what is it? Holy shit, I need to watch this one.
01:22:37
Jim Phoenix
Right.
01:22:37
box
It's run by Weyland Yutani. They want to get the fuck out. But they're like, no, you can't get the fuck out because
01:22:42
Jim Phoenix
Perfect.
01:22:44
Jim Phoenix
We screw you over.
01:22:44
box
Well, your contract was just, yeah, they just screwed her over.
01:22:45
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:22:47
box
So she actually, like her ex-boyfriend, they kind of like get together and he's like, Hey, you know, we're going to be leaving.
01:22:47
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:22:57
box
We found this like ship, like out in space. We're going to take that ship. We're going to fucking get out of here. Do you want to come? And she was like, sure.
01:23:08
box
Well, you find out. Her brother is an adopted brother who's an android that was reprogrammed by her dad i and Brother from another mother yes Yes, so he's an android we find this out very early on so you don't have to There's no spoiler with that um So basically they go up to figure out hey we can use this to go to the spot
01:23:13
Jim Phoenix
Right. Oh, I think meant probably because he was black. Oh, apparently. So it's like an Android. Yeah, there's no, there's no spoilers that we find. I like the first 10 minutes, I think.
01:23:38
box
beautiful place that we want to go to. However, of course, the ship has aliens.
01:23:41
Jim Phoenix
Utopia.
01:23:44
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, every everything.
01:23:44
box
like ah And then ah bad things happen. And that's that's alien. rock but
01:23:52
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, and I think this alien movie happens between the original Alien series and something else, which means, OK, 2142.
01:24:03
Jim Phoenix
So one of those. So Weyland Yutani has. Bound.
01:24:08
box
They've merged. They've finally merged, which is good.
01:24:11
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, and they also found an alien to study.
01:24:14
box
Yes. Yes. And they have multiple aliens. There's a lot of aliens in this.
01:24:20
Jim Phoenix
Right. Yeah, they're the aliens.
01:24:21
box
Like all all of the anger that I had before with them not having aliens, they have aliens in this.
01:24:22
Jim Phoenix
onities
01:24:29
Jim Phoenix
Plenty of alien, the plenty, but. My question now becomes, if this is happening, then how does the company not know what happened?
01:24:42
Jim Phoenix
in the future of the actual movie timeline and Paul, well, we have to go back out.
01:24:44
box
As they dumb.
01:24:48
Jim Phoenix
Like, no motherfuckers, you already have you studying them. You know where they are. That's a really weird overs look on unforced error, putting it at that time in the movie timeline.
01:25:00
box
OK, let me just.
01:25:00
Jim Phoenix
They could have put this fucking years before or after or whatever the fuck it is.
01:25:03
box
Have you have you ever worked for a very large company? Nobody knows what the fuck the other people are doing.
01:25:10
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, but if if my entire company is based upon finding a MacGuffin and we've had the MacGuffin for fucking decades, I think I would know that one.
01:25:18
box
Again, team rockets, team rocket.
01:25:21
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, but they're really sinister.
01:25:24
box
It is basically they're great at exploiting people really bad at getting aliens.
01:25:25
Jim Phoenix
of They just can't build shit fairly or talk to.
01:25:33
box
You can't have it both ways.
01:25:34
Jim Phoenix
Uh, yeah. Okay. But we we will have, okay.
01:25:39
box
yeah Okay.
01:25:39
Jim Phoenix
The tagline is in space. No one can hear you. That's it. The end.
01:25:47
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. It's like, uh, we're just good. And there's so many fucking callbacks to the original movie in this movie.
01:25:53
box
Pears.
01:25:54
Jim Phoenix
It's kind of like, written if this is, this is the fan fic.
01:25:54
box
Pears.
01:25:57
Jim Phoenix
You call the other one fan fiction.
01:25:58
box
In a way, I don't know if it's the super fair.
01:25:58
Jim Phoenix
This the fucking fan fic right here.
01:26:03
box
Honestly, I think it dovetailed, it dovetailed.
01:26:03
Jim Phoenix
Oh my God. They quote, they quote the fucking movie constantly.
01:26:09
box
Of course they do. Of course they do. Because this is how many years ago from the first one. Like, again, when you're watching Romul- when you're watching, not Romulus, um the shitty ones before this.
01:26:24
Jim Phoenix
Covenant Prometheus.
01:26:25
box
Yes, you're like, this is gross. I hate it. There's this horrible taste in my mouth. This is coming back and being like, oh, remember the the actual taste of the thing that you like?
01:26:36
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:26:36
box
Here it is. Here it is again.
01:26:37
Jim Phoenix
And maybe Gen Z would like this one because it's more action packed. It does a lot of God, what's the word I want to avoid? it guy This guy is a little PC shit.
01:26:49
Jim Phoenix
This movie is a bit PC shit. I'm sorry. It gets to me like, oh, the poor, the the poor handicap robot that we pick on that becomes like
01:26:53
box
Like what?
01:26:58
box
I like them. I like. Yeah, they they.
01:27:01
Jim Phoenix
Careful about picking on the handicap because one day they'll be superhuman or something.
01:27:02
box
they
01:27:05
Jim Phoenix
What the fuck is that?
01:27:07
box
They dunk on him.
01:27:07
Jim Phoenix
What the fuck is this movie? It's a shit box.
01:27:09
box
Well, no, they know it's not.
01:27:10
Jim Phoenix
Movie shit.
01:27:12
box
It's not fucking shit. You're fucking shit.
01:27:14
Jim Phoenix
I wish.
01:27:14
box
No, they dunk on him because he's an android. And they've all said before, like, we fucking hate androids because they make logical
01:27:21
Jim Phoenix
One killed my daddy.
01:27:24
box
Yeah, basically they make logical.
01:27:24
Jim Phoenix
I think one does kill.
01:27:26
box
Yeah, they did.
01:27:27
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:27:28
box
They basically, they're too logical.
01:27:28
Jim Phoenix
go
01:27:30
box
They're not human. they They don't have what humanity is. And in this, I feel like he does a good job at learning what humanity is and learning who he is.
01:27:42
box
Because honestly, it's his struggle, I would say, of finding out who he is.
01:27:48
Jim Phoenix
Great. It's his, it's his struggle from being a fucking Gilbert grape.
01:27:50
box
It is.
01:27:55
box
No, it's not a Gilbert grape.
01:27:55
Jim Phoenix
Gilbert grape goes to space. There you go. This is a Gilbert grape goes to space.
01:27:58
box
It's not a Gilbert grape.
01:27:59
Jim Phoenix
Get one. I want to back on Gilbert grape in space.
01:28:01
box
He's, he's a little bit, he's a little bit.
01:28:05
Jim Phoenix
These four is fucking gump. That's what he is.
01:28:09
box
No, he's not. I would say if anything, he's like autistic, but even then, huh?
01:28:13
Jim Phoenix
I didn't see him paint anything. What was it? Is it a sculptor? Is it a painter or what?
01:28:19
box
Mm-hmm. I like it. I do because I feel like the, the, the sibling hood between the two of them is really what it centers on.
01:28:32
box
It centers on found family, you know, and
01:28:35
Jim Phoenix
It's, it centers on someone that you think got into an industrial accident and had brain damage. Like, oh my God, like the older brother is not like the younger brother because he's brain damaged.
01:28:52
Jim Phoenix
Like that's something bad happening, mining, like always in Android, nevermind. It's like a fuck up there.
01:28:56
box
I think it's interesting that you take from it that it's, it's about someone who has like, I don't know, a disability.
01:29:09
box
I saw it as just like, like I said, something found family, something about Andy understanding himself and who he is and where he came from. And also trying to protect his sister.
01:29:19
Jim Phoenix
It's. Yeah, but OK, if you're saying that, that means the following family, everyone says that asshole in this movie. Like the the people that she's really finding and trying to escape with their dicks.
01:29:32
box
Oh, no, they're dicks. Yeah, they're dicks.
01:29:33
Jim Phoenix
Complete fucking waste asses, man.
01:29:34
box
I agree. I agree. And that's why I think she also comes into the the understanding that maybe maybe humanity is not exactly what I need, because basically they're going to go to this great place and they find Andy finds out he's basically not going to be invited to this place.
01:29:40
Jim Phoenix
She makes her wrong choices.
01:29:55
Jim Phoenix
not allowed because he's black he's not i thought it was because he was black he's not black because he he's autistic so this moves about autistic black man oh he's an android okay uh
01:29:56
box
He's not allowed. But no, it's not because he's
01:30:05
box
No, it's because he's autistic. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Because he's an android. He's an android. So. and And again, she she finds herself because he gets kind of swayed by another robot in here, by another android who um it was based on the likeness of Ian Home, RIP.
01:30:35
box
who played the Android va Ash in the original film.
01:30:36
Jim Phoenix
Oh, yeah.
01:30:40
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:30:43
box
So he's got this whole like, you know, you're an Android, you know, be like an Android. And so Andy is kind of caught in between the world of what he's supposed to do by wailing Yutani, what he's been created for, and also who he is, who he is as a person and who he is with his sister.
01:31:04
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, you know what? I think my problem with this, other than the emails,
01:31:13
Jim Phoenix
it was billed as, this might be me. If you see Prometheus come out in 2012, Covenant 2017, and Romulus come out in 2024, you think it's the prequels, the sequel to Covenant, you you would.
01:31:21
box
Mm hmm.
01:31:30
Jim Phoenix
Just naturally fucking trilogy, right?
01:31:30
box
Right.
01:31:33
box
Yeah, I suppose.
01:31:33
Jim Phoenix
It ain't.
01:31:34
box
Yeah, i it's not. It's not.
01:31:36
Jim Phoenix
What's so fucking ever.
01:31:37
box
Honestly, it's like a standalone. It's kind of like, um,
01:31:39
Jim Phoenix
It's like a video game that came to life of Bubblegum. It's Bubblegum. It's the Bubblegum of the Alien franchise. Holy shit.
01:31:46
box
No, I would say it's kind of like, um what's that one in Star Wars?
01:31:52
Jim Phoenix
They're saying, ro yeah, on IMDB they call the Rogue One of Alien.
01:31:55
box
Yeah, it is the Rogue One of Aliens.
01:31:59
Jim Phoenix
Which I, unpopular opinion, I didn't like Rogue One.
01:31:59
box
It is.
01:32:02
box
right ah Yeah, I know you fucking did, Lincoln. Of course you didn't, because I liked it.
01:32:06
Jim Phoenix
You know, wait, why did you like Rogue One?
01:32:12
box
I liked the characters and I liked the story and I thought it was interesting.
01:32:16
Jim Phoenix
The story, you knew what was gonna fucking happen.
01:32:21
Jim Phoenix
You've seen Star Wars. You've seen them talking about these assholes.
01:32:24
box
Yes, no, I know.
01:32:25
Jim Phoenix
You know what happens in their fucking story.
01:32:28
box
But I still enjoyed it.
01:32:28
Jim Phoenix
There's no suspense. It's kind of like, Oh, this is.
01:32:30
box
Could I still, can't I still enjoy something? I read a book called They Both Die at the End. And they both die at the end and I still enjoyed it because it was about the characterization and about their, you know, the story of who they are.
01:32:44
Jim Phoenix
My problem with prequels.
01:32:47
box
And I enjoy that.
01:32:49
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:32:50
box
I enjoy it.
01:32:50
Jim Phoenix
and I will say, okay.
01:32:51
box
I enjoyed this one. I liked it.
01:32:55
Jim Phoenix
If it wasn't an, this is what you said before. If it wasn't an alien movie, you would like it better. He said about one of them. I think it was like, he said that before, I think maybe number four.
01:33:04
box
yeah Well, yes. Well, no, if, if this was. ah fanfic so let's say yeah like basically cuz Jaws 3 is a terrible movie but Jaws 3 if it's not a Jaws movie is a funny movie it's
01:33:09
Jim Phoenix
Oh, it's, we said about four was a fanfic.
01:33:18
Jim Phoenix
I love Jaw Street because again, I also saw it in 3D in the theaters with my aunt.
01:33:23
box
so good it's horrid it is horrid again if you take if you take the alien franchise name out of the movie that's what I was saying okay okay
01:33:27
Jim Phoenix
You have to be there, it's a product of it.
01:33:34
Jim Phoenix
I love this movie then. This movie becomes, it goes, if you take the alien franchise tag off of this movie and they have some other MacGuffin alien that's killing fucking people, it becomes a monster in a box movie.
01:33:48
Jim Phoenix
or monster in a house movie that 7.2 on IMDB.
01:33:48
box
but Yeah. ah Yeah, it's.
01:33:52
Jim Phoenix
So it's one of the higher ones since the original. I would probably rate it like a four, but because it's got the alien thing, it's got the posters, the alien, they quote so much from the goddamn original movie.
01:33:55
box
I like it.
01:34:06
Jim Phoenix
It just keeps going like, what the fuck am I watching? I'm watching a fucking fan film this fucking time. It's the fan flick that I paid money for. Like this is shit. If if my three, not three year old third grade niece.
01:34:23
Jim Phoenix
Says, Theo, I've got a fucking film for you. She shouldn't be swearing. as this I had to talk about that.
01:34:29
box
Yeah, like what the hell is up with your knees?
01:34:30
Jim Phoenix
This is the guy I did a film. I taped a class production at third grade class production. We call it Alien. And I watched it and that was this movie.
01:34:42
Jim Phoenix
I'm like, that's a good job. Good job.
01:34:45
box
I would hope so.
01:34:45
Jim Phoenix
Third grader. Not for a fucking professional studio though.
01:34:47
box
Yeah.
01:34:49
Jim Phoenix
This is not a good job for a professional studio.
01:34:49
box
No, I feel like it is.
01:34:51
Jim Phoenix
that They know better.
01:34:53
box
It's fun.
01:34:53
Jim Phoenix
They just shoe hoarse some shit in like, Oh, let's make it alien.
01:34:53
box
It was fun.
01:34:57
Jim Phoenix
Fuck it. We have a three printer deal.
01:34:58
box
I don't think so. I feel like, I feel like, I feel like Alvarez.
01:34:59
Jim Phoenix
It was through alien.
01:35:06
box
Alvarez?
01:35:07
Jim Phoenix
No, I heard it was.
01:35:07
box
Anyway, I feel like the director and writer, um, had a lot of love for the original.
01:35:15
Jim Phoenix
A lot of fucking love.
01:35:15
box
I feel like this was written, I feel like this was made in homage and made in love.
01:35:22
Jim Phoenix
ah Yeah, but shit. I wish it was made well.
01:35:28
box
I feel like it was. I feel like it was. I think it was fun. I felt like the action was fun.
01:35:35
Jim Phoenix
I don't know.
01:35:36
box
I felt like the characters were interesting. I got to see fucking more of why Waylon and Yutani suck ass. That's what I want.
01:35:44
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. I, I did, I did like the background story on Waylon.
01:35:45
box
I want to see that.
01:35:49
Jim Phoenix
I did.
01:35:50
box
Yes.
01:35:50
Jim Phoenix
I liked the background story of the company. I wish maybe more about that. I wish.
01:35:58
Jim Phoenix
the like The timeline is, i maybe mean it's just the timeline, maybe it's just old, I don't know. It's it's not a horrible movie. It's just not as good as it should be, and I think it takes some cheap shots out.
01:36:11
Jim Phoenix
It's fucking, there we go. I'll explain it this way. It's Blooms, Bloomberg, wow, wow, Blumhouse, Bloomberg, I can't believe they're too fucking much on here.
01:36:19
box
Bloomberg I don't know like it's good as what it is now
01:36:23
Jim Phoenix
It's Blumhouse's Halloween franchise. Fair. Is that fair? Where there's parts that is complete fans service that they wrap this shit up a bit, but honestly got as, as a fucking versus the original movies. This is still shit. Is your current.
01:36:47
box
as like a reboot, as like, not a reboot per se, but as something that is coming out.
Alien Franchise: Legacy and Love
01:36:53
box
Cause like, okay. So I watched the reboot of, um, Oh, uh, pinhead hell razor.
01:37:00
Jim Phoenix
Ghostbusters.
01:37:03
box
I watched that this year as well.
01:37:03
Jim Phoenix
Oh boy.
01:37:05
box
And it was just like, Ooh, okay.
01:37:05
Jim Phoenix
Sorry.
01:37:08
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:37:09
box
This I enjoyed more. And I feel maybe because it was with Prometheus, you know, and covenant.
01:37:16
Jim Phoenix
Arguably.
01:37:17
box
And, but, but I feel like, I don't know.
01:37:18
Jim Phoenix
I agree with you. This is better than the Hellraiser redo.
01:37:27
box
It was a step. I had fun with it. I felt like there were a lot of aliens and that's what I wanted. Um, I got to see a little bit more of Weyland Yutani. Um, I did like, I liked Andy.
01:37:41
box
I thought he was funny. I thought he was cute. Um, I had fun with it. It was like a haunted house. It was like a haunted house.
01:37:49
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, they're sure when sure it's also of all the movies. This one cost the most and I think made the least adjusted.
01:38:01
Jim Phoenix
then I mean, it it did hopefully bad enough.
01:38:02
box
Probably.
01:38:04
Jim Phoenix
There won't be a fifth fucking alien movie.
01:38:06
box
Oh, I'm sure there. No, there there's going to be I think.
01:38:09
Jim Phoenix
Oh, that TV show. Fuck me, man.
01:38:12
box
The TV show and then I think
01:38:13
Jim Phoenix
OK.
01:38:14
box
I think what's his face Ridley Scott wants to make another one.
01:38:19
Jim Phoenix
Oh, of course. Well, who's a great director?
01:38:20
box
Of course he does.
01:38:24
Jim Phoenix
Who's like, ah, put all my money in this one movie. That fucking bomb. He just did it.
01:38:29
box
Oh, the one with the wine.
01:38:30
Jim Phoenix
Scorsese. Is it Scorsese?
01:38:32
box
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, and it has Adam driver is fucking crazy.
01:38:36
Jim Phoenix
I ain't walking that shit either.
01:38:37
box
I've seen clips of it.
01:38:38
Jim Phoenix
I ain't watching none of this shit.
01:38:39
box
Anyway, I think, I think the box office did okay with this. It was an 80 million budget and they made 35, 350 million.
01:38:45
Jim Phoenix
350 worldwide, but it's,
01:38:50
Jim Phoenix
but only a hundred domestic, which is absolute fucking shit to a 90 mil because there's costs of 160 really.
01:38:55
box
Well, well, honestly, most of, I mean, our largest export, I would say is probably our, our movies.
01:39:04
Jim Phoenix
Damn, right.
01:39:05
box
You know, we're, we're always going to make
01:39:07
Jim Phoenix
Fuck.
01:39:07
box
We're always going to make more worldwide than we do domestic.
01:39:09
Jim Phoenix
Okay. What would you give this book? What would you, what would you rate this overall in the franchise? First of all, cause I seen this and it made me go, what the fuck you want? Go for it. Tell, tell people in the audience where you rate this in the overall franchise.
01:39:21
box
but
01:39:23
box
I gave it a four.
01:39:26
Jim Phoenix
So you gave it a four Cthulhu's and it's which, which number ah from the best.
01:39:28
box
I gave it a four. Oh. oh Oh, oh from the best. Oh, I see. I see what you're saying. Okay, do it I'm just gonna say my list out?
01:39:36
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:39:39
Jim Phoenix
Okay.
01:39:39
box
Into in its entirety now, so the best movie was alien The second best was aliens The third best was romulus I'm
01:39:44
Jim Phoenix
Of course. Agreed. Agreed.
01:39:50
Jim Phoenix
You're fucking high. You're fucking high.
01:39:54
box
not fucking high my
01:39:54
Jim Phoenix
If Romulus Prometheus alien versus predator. Okay. Two and three and four. Yeah. I kind of get it.
01:40:07
Jim Phoenix
At least four has were no to wire and fucking to go on a waiver in it.
01:40:08
box
OK, I'm going to say my.
01:40:13
box
I'm going to I'm going to say it from the worst to the best, OK, my worst to best.
01:40:15
Jim Phoenix
Okay.
01:40:17
box
This is just how it is for me. Prometheus, aliens versus Predator 2, Alien 3, Covenant, Alien 4, Alien versus Predator.
01:40:19
Jim Phoenix
No. True. True. True. You can see it. Nope.
01:40:29
box
Yep, Romulus, aliens.
01:40:30
Jim Phoenix
Fuck off. True.
01:40:33
box
Alien.
01:40:33
Jim Phoenix
Yes. So you skipped a big beat in the middle of the versus bread and rhyme list. Like really? How the fuck did you watch the same movies I did? I don't know, man.
01:40:42
box
I did.
01:40:43
Jim Phoenix
Oh God.
01:40:43
box
They were, they were, they were fun.
01:40:46
Jim Phoenix
Oh, fuck man.
01:40:46
box
They were fun. Alien versus Predator was fucking fun.
01:40:49
Jim Phoenix
Alien versus Predator two's got Sam or a lot in it, though, man.
01:40:49
box
It's good.
01:40:53
box
It was so goddamn boring and dumb. I don't care about your small ass town in Colorado or whatever.
01:41:00
Jim Phoenix
I do.
01:41:00
box
I don't give a fuck.
01:41:01
Jim Phoenix
I care about all American towns.
01:41:03
box
Shut up.
01:41:05
Jim Phoenix
I'm just kind of getting out there now. OK, so as a franchise, what would you rate the franchise overall?
01:41:13
box
I enjoy it. I love the Alien franchise.
01:41:16
Jim Phoenix
Me too.
01:41:17
box
I hate space. I would never want to go into space. I am scared of space. So this is good because it scares me.
01:41:24
Jim Phoenix
Cause they can't hear you scream. Yeah. They can't hear your scream. Other apparently, uh,
01:41:28
box
Nobody can, can hear me period. They can't hear me at all.
01:41:32
Jim Phoenix
at all. I was like, that's this one.
01:41:33
box
and hu At all, at all.
01:41:34
Jim Phoenix
I. Yeah, I do love this. I I'll you know me if there's alien 16, like, oh, fucking 16. Maybe something I love that it spawns things from ice pirates with space herpes. And I love how it's, you know, space balls has that scene. Oh, my baby. Oh, my darling. It spawns cultural references. I believe Star Trek references alien as well.
01:42:05
box
Probably, yeah.
01:42:07
Jim Phoenix
I like it and that, and I like it how it kind of, honestly, I was slipping with my hand over my face for fucking decades, plural, and so it obviously affected me as well.
01:42:18
Jim Phoenix
I'll give it props to Geiger, who's fucking amazing artist, and the cast, or these cast, I would fucking shoot someone's dick off to have one of these cast through any of my movies.
01:42:22
box
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Right.
01:42:31
Jim Phoenix
Give me some of those fucking cast. So yeah, I like it. And I think overall franchise wise, like for, especially for horror, it beats Hellraiser.
01:42:42
Jim Phoenix
It beats nightmare.
01:42:43
box
Oh God, yes, absolutely.
01:42:44
Jim Phoenix
It beats Fridays. It beats all the other ones.
01:42:48
box
It does. I think i think consistently, it's pretty solid.
01:42:51
Jim Phoenix
Yeah. Halloween's.
01:42:55
box
ah Sometimes it loses its way a bit, but and but I think, yes, I'll get annoyed or upset, but i'm like you said, I'm still gonna go watch it.
01:43:07
box
I'm still gonna go watch the Alien movies.
01:43:08
Jim Phoenix
Yeah.
01:43:10
box
I'm still gonna probably find something I enjoy out of it.
01:43:13
Jim Phoenix
I
01:43:13
box
um you know i which is more than i can say like you said too because of again famously i don't really like sequels um so these i actually do watch i have watched them oh i did too i did too and like i
01:43:16
Jim Phoenix
agree.
01:43:31
Jim Phoenix
and You know, that's fair cuz there's there's sometimes I force myself to watch some hellraiser sequels because it's hellraiser I forced my but like fucking eating broccoli And you're like, oh I can't get my life back from that part Here with the space with Freddie and Jason
01:43:45
box
I stopped, I think when Pinhead came, like was, no, I think it was like when Pinhead was like an owner of a club or something. I can't remember. I just remember there was a club involved and like Pinhead was there and I'm like, I know I'm done.
01:44:04
Jim Phoenix
Oh, ah right, like 15s or some shit like that.
01:44:09
box
Yes, yes, yes. And I was like, I this is Buffy with that and I can't do this.
01:44:15
Jim Phoenix
Yes, I see, I see, I see, yes, I see, I see. Well, okay, I dig this one now, I'm gonna say something.
01:44:19
box
Yeah.
01:44:24
Jim Phoenix
I know we have a Thanksgiving one, but I got to talk to Heather Lagenkamp speaking of.
01:44:26
box
Yeah.
01:44:33
Jim Phoenix
ah Friday. And she has a documentary. So I'm wondering, are you interested in doing a documentary horror documentary, treatment demons?
01:44:39
box
oh
01:44:45
box
Oh, oh, I would be interested in that.
01:44:47
Jim Phoenix
We haven't we have not done that before.
01:44:49
box
We haven't done that before. And honestly, I think that would be kind of fun if we did one that we watched together, I suppose, and then to that or something like that.
01:44:51
Jim Phoenix
And.
01:44:58
Jim Phoenix
Yeah, we can probably get some shows shit. I can probably see if I get it one. Absolutely.
01:45:02
box
Yeah, sure.
01:45:03
Jim Phoenix
All right. So we'll next up, maybe it might be not in time for our Thanksgiving one, but this has been a two hour slog of aliens, all the alien movies, not including in the video.
01:45:13
box
All the aliens.
01:45:14
Jim Phoenix
By the way, the alien VR game is going to scare the shit out of me. I can't wait to go like a what the actual fuck is all this.
01:45:19
box
God, I I want to just watch you play it, to be honest.
01:45:23
Jim Phoenix
You can if you ever want to see me die of a fucking fright. Yeah, that's.
01:45:27
box
Oh, I'm going to die of a fucking fright. I'm not going to even do it. I'm going to be screaming probably before you do.
01:45:31
Jim Phoenix
I should, I can, yeah you know, straight out of the, you'd be streaming, I'd be demon. I think I can tape that. I've seen people taped themselves in VR where they, you see the screen and you see them at the same time.
01:45:44
box
no
01:45:44
Jim Phoenix
I think I can probably figure that out by the time I get that movie or that game. I mean, yeah, cool dude. All right. So what do you want to plug?
01:45:55
box
Oh man there's but Okay, I'll I'll say this I'll say this um so it's not open yet.
01:45:59
Jim Phoenix

Basically you go there, you connect with fans. Um, you can. And I using quote unquote commission them because basically all the money that you're going to be doing um to auction these is going a hundred percent towards a charity.
