Throwback Thursday: Aliens

This week we’re flashing back to June 25, 2020, when Del Roehling
and I revisited one of the greatest sequels of all time — Aliens
(1986).


Back then, I had just wrapped up a tough semester in my master’s
program for Creative Writing, and like so many of us, I was stuck
at home during lockdown. Del and I took the opportunity to dive
into James Cameron’s explosive follow-up to Ridley Scott’s Alien,
and we had a blast breaking it all down.


We cover:
How Aliens shifted from horror to all-out action
Sigourney Weaver cementing her place as a true action hero
The unforgettable performances of Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn,
Paul Reiser, and more
The iconic final showdown with the Alien Queen
Plus, a little 80s nostalgia, some laughs, and even a few digs at
the 90s


Whether you’re a die-hard fan who’s seen Aliens 20 times, or
you’re watching it for the first time, this episode will take you
right back into the heart-pounding action of 1986.
