Binge Movie Aftertaste – Alien Retrospective w/ Jack Valley and Johnny Moreno Pt 4: Prometheus

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Five years after Fox cashed in on the appeal of Aliens clashing with Predators, director Ridley Scott made it clear that he was ready to return to the science fiction world which put him on the map. He had a meeting with writer Jon Spaihts, and together they mapped out a prequel of sorts to one of the most highly regarded movies of all time.

But a more contemporary approach was not what Scott was looking for. And, in a controversial move, Fox brought in Lost‘s Damon Lindelof to add an extra outside dimension to the answers fans were looking for. The resulting film Prometheus is still debated by film goers -and the hosts of this very podcast- for what exactly it adds to the universe it was claiming to be a part of.

Join me, Jack Valley, and Johnny Moreno as we engage in what is probably the most debate heavy podcast that’s been had since I started sprinkling in the retrospective format. And then gear up, as we get ready to ride the Alien wave straight into Alien Covenant, to be reviewed the week following its release.

Binge Movie Aftertaste – Alien Retrospective w/ Jack Valley and Johnny Moreno Pt 2: Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Enter the next two films of the Alien universe with myself, Jack, and Moreno as we watch Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. The last two films (for now?) of the Sigourney Weaver Quadrilogy, they are certainly not looked back fondly by most. But will one of more of us enjoy them, especially the Mexican asshole on the podcast who hadn’t seen either before this week?

Listen below to find out, and be sure to tune in next week when we do two, well, non existent Vs films.

Download below, CS’ers.

Binge Movie Aftertaste – Alien Retrospective w/ Jack Valley and Johnny Moreno Pt 1: Alien and Aliens

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

There are film series. And then there is the Alien series.

There may never be a more different set of films than the Alien films. A series where the first four entries only similarity is Sigourney Weaver’s character of Ellen Ripley. The second set is looked at by many as a wasted opportunity, and the original’s director comes back over thirty years later to tell the philosophy filled backstory. Moods contained in the films change, as do directors behind the scenes. But will we adapt to them all the further we go along?

I have been looking for an excuse to do a retrospective on for the almost two years I have been injecting this format into the Binge Aftertaste. And with Alien Covenant rolling right around the corner (a review of which will end this series of podcasts), could there be a bigger reason?

Actually yes, as Johnny/Alyx Moreno has not seen the majority of the films. What will he think? How is Aliens to him after being told to watch it at least twice a year since him and Jim Law have been on the air? Will the hype get to him?

I am really looking forward to this series. So download the first episode below and listen to me, Jack Valley, and Johnny/Alyx Moreno journey through space. And beer.
