Alien and Thelma & Louise - S02E11
0After that distraction that was the 2022 review and the launch of a spin-off podcast, we are back to our normally scheduled episodes.
Last time we looked at Gladiator & Blade Runner, two very masculine classics from Ridley Scott's vast and important filmography. This time, we look at two films from the opposite end of his spectrum that you could call feminist icons whether on purpose or unintentionally. To look at one of the greatest horror films of all time, Alien, and one of the finest examples of 1990s crime cinema in Thelma & Louise I am joined by Kat (the Hollywood news) and Andy (Road to Knowhere).
Along the way we ask questions about taking a cat on a potentially dangerous trip into the deepest darkest space and whether having the ending to a 90s classic ruined for you by the Simpsons damages the film in any meaningful way. You know, important questions.
Check out our sister show, Pop Screen, in which Graham looks at movies featuring pop stars. On our Patreon, we have classic doctor who reviews, pop screen bonus episodes - this month its glass onion which co-starred Janelle Monae. Also starting up, we have the return of my unseen Asia reviews after a brief sabbatical and the start of our spin-off podcast, Last Night, aka, the bit that used to be on the end of these podcasts last year - only given a bit more breathing room. Now, if you enjoy this podcast show, give it a rating and review on apple podcasts or Spotify, it'd mean the world to us.
