Paid in Puke S2E8: Alien

In this episode, we're joined by the brilliant Erin Lavery to
discuss one of her favorite films: Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi art
house classic, Alien. This is the film that inspired the
(Bechdel) test that inspired our podcast but it also contains a
textbook example of the male gaze! Erin points out that Alien is
basically a workplace drama and Ripley is long-suffering middle
management.  


We also introduce a new segment: Patronizing Bunny Rabbits. This
is what we're calling it when directors feel the need to trick
their actors into giving them an "honest" reaction. Is it part of
the process, or just a dick move?


In the Lunchtime Poll, we reveal which members of the Nostromo
crew we would make time with to blow off steam at our space
job.
