This week on the A Cosmic Void podcast we are joined by The Alien Movie Project cohost Dr. Aaron Donaldson to discuss perhaps the most influential science fiction movie ever, Alien! We examine it's relationship to sex and capitalism. We also put the film under a microscope and ask the hard questions: what's with all the little toys? Would this have been avoided if Kane had breakfast? And exactly how hard is it to maintain focus on one piece of cinema when it has seven sequels, an upcoming TV series, and an endless supply of comics and video games, as well as cute plushies? And of course we talk about it's influence on film at large as well as macabre chamber full other topics.
