On this week's show, we begin our look at a few movies of the legendary Nicolas Cage. First up, 1996's The Rock starring Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and William Forsythe. 
From director Michael Bay, this movie is the first time Nicolas Cage steps into the role of action movie hero, and whom better to learn from than the original 007, Sean Connery. This movie big has chases, play of many varieties (namely gun and word), big action sequences, and an iconic location.

#182 – Alien: Resurrection

On this week's show, we watched 1997's Alien: Resurrection starring Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Brad Dourif, and Raymond Cruz. 
From director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, this next installment to the Alien franchise features an entirely new version of Ripley, a lot of aliens, interstellar mercenaries, a bumbling military, and some mad scientists. Toss in a dash of pretty solid FX, plot inconstancies, a few chuckles, and cringey dialog, and you've got the makings of a big budget, cult classic. 
Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast.
Thanks and enjoy!

#181 – Alien 3

On this week's show, we watched 1992's Alien 3 starring Sigourney Weaver, Charles Dance, Charles S. Dutton, Paul McGann, and Lance Henriksen. 
From director David Fincher, this third installment of the Alien franchise starts immediately following the events of Aliens (1986), where the survivors of LV-426 were headed back to Earth via the Colonial Marine spaceship, The USS Sulaco. Somehow, the Xenomorph queen made it onboard and laid 3 eggs before meeting her doom at the end of the previous film.
Following a facehugger attack, our heroes (who are still in hypersleep) are jettisoned to a nearby planetoid; former maximum-security prison facility, Fury-161. After the escape pod crashes and its survivors are recovered, calamity ensues and it's once again up to Ellen Ripley to save everyone; even though it may cost her everything. 
This is one of those movies with a production hellish enough that it might be more entertaining than the film itself. 
Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast.
Thanks and enjoy!

#180 – Aliens

On this week's show, we watched 1986's Aliens starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, and Bill Paxton. 
From director James Cameron, this next installment to the Alien franchise is quite a tonal shift from the first movie. While the first is a sci-fi horror classic, the second is arguably one of the greatest sci-fi action movies ever. 
This movie sees the return of both the hero and monster(s) from the first, a group of intergalactic badass soldiers, great cinematography, an unforgettable soundtrack, vehicles that would make the Dark Knight swoon, a couple of laughs, a few scares, and a wildly intense and unrelenting climax.
Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast.
Thanks and enjoy!
