Our month of 3s comes to a close with David Fincher's Alien 3 (1992), which may take the prize for most convoluted production history. Here to help us make sense of the Assembly Cut (not the theatrical cut) is returning guest Sade Sellers (see previous episode Orphan), who has issues with the film's treatment of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and sexual assault (content warning!)
Plus: our secret connections to the number three, the xenomorph as drag queen, the differences between the theatrical and assembly cuts and Charles S. Dutton as a sacrificial lamb. Also: Joe's love of Charles Dance, confusion over "womb stuff" and why Fincher needs to get over his hatred of his directorial debut.
