Horror Movie Maniacs
This is rumour control - here are the facts. Peter and Phil discuss the third film in the Alien franchise that has polarised audiences since 1992. See what we think - do we enjoy the nihilistic, dour, dark story of convict monks on a prison planet? We also talk through the very interesting fraught behind the scenes stories featuring a first time director (who would go on to become very famous) versus a studio that at times seems to be acting like Weyland-Yutani.
