Episode 36 ALIENS with New 2024 Introduc...

STEVE MORRIS & JOHN ROCHA
About this episode

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha repost their discussion on 1986's ALIENS from Episode 36 of the show with a new introduction in honor of the release of ALIEN: ROMULUS. This seminal James Cameron film features the return of Sigourney Weaver as Ripley leading a bunch of Marines, including Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton, against a pack of xenomorphs (and Burke played by a deliciously evil Paul Reiser) to save Newt, the last living member of a murdered space colony. After the introduction, Steve and John explore the acting, direction, the writing and the effect the film has on us today.
