On this month's bonus WLM, the guys are chatting about Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi/horror masterpiece, Alien! How fantastic is it to watch a movie with this much precision set work, starring a bunch of sweaty, salt-of-the-earth actors? How cool is Tom Skerritt's Bleep-Bloop room? Has Sigourney Weaver ever been better? Are they wearing that same diaper throughout the whole cryo-sleep? And does this film have cinema's first Trash Can Scare? PLUS: Look out, folks, it's England's own "Rotten" Rid! 

Alien stars Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Yaphet Kotto, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, Ian Holm, Helen Morton, and Bolaji Badejo as the Xenomorph; directed by Ridley Scott.

I absolutely loathe Prometheus and Covenant. The fact that they like those movies makes me take whatever opinion they give with a grain of salt.

Paul DeCoursey-Clark

I was so disappointed in Prometheus. I went solo to the theater to see it I was so excited. It started off pretty good. But just got dumber and dumber. I will admit, I laughed pretty hard when Charlize got squished because she refused to zig OR zag, but I don't think that's the reaction they were going for ...

That's setting a really high bar for good movies early in your life. Kudos to your mom

KyleNKing

"Male robot" No.

Troy Parquer

A “so-so” day was just made so much better when I saw the Patreon app notification for this episode on my phone - thank you WHM Gang!

Deitrich Tennin

The timing couldn't be better! Now I have something to listen to at work tonight

Beatrix

My third favorite movie of all time, tied with "Aliens" to form a great double feature. Thank you :)

Felipe Hallenbeck

Just gotta love getting 2 fresh episodes in a week's time. Thanks, guys--for all you do, this Bud's for you.

Pedro Elizondo Jr

Dudes alien resurrection is so ridiculously awesome

Alexander Farr

This is one of those movies I wish I could see for the first time again. It unravels in such a brilliant way with how they tease out the dread and uncertainty of what the Alien is and does. By the time we're watching it crab walk out of the shadows it could basically do anything and still be terrifying.

Paul DeCoursey-Clark

Until I saw this movie, I never realized how scary watching dots on a screen could be.

Kevin L Laird

Oh man, been waiting for you guys to do this movie. I am many excite.

Paul

“Dark Star” is free to watch on YouTube. I started watching it. Imagine the WHM gang on a space mission. It’s good!

Ray

Okay an episode on Alien is fantastic and all, but I wanna hear that 90210 Vivica A fox race relations talk. So excited for melr0210 this month. Huuuuuuunnnhhh (billy noise)

Zuri

I saw this movie for the first time last year...it was amazing. Instant fave (and so was Aliens). Glad to hear your thoughts.

Zak Ashmore

I also had a hard time thinking of a 21st century reveal at the level of (or near?) the chest-bursting scene, and all I got is ***SPOILERS MAYBE*** the reveal of horse people in Sorry to Bother You

Jason

Picture Eric, on his mechanical keyboard, following Sean Connery’s Finding Forrester advice to “pound the keys” and muttering to himself that he’s “the man now, dog.”

Evan Doboga

I love the talk about how patient this movie is. It's true, you don't see a lot of that in action/horror/sci-fi anymore.

Matt

During quarantine I had a tall glass of water for the first time in a decade plus and watched this. It was an *excellent* choice.

Edward Carlson

My favorite Mad Magazine movie workup was this film. Simply fantastic

Smaug

My favorite line that's worth cranking the volume to hear clearly is Ripley saying, "micro changes in air density my ass" as they're coming into the room where the sensor picks up the cat. Fast forward to Covenant where it's 2 hours of Fassbender jerking off over a Philosophy 201 textbook

Tristan

Ridley Scott hand off on actors, creates great visuals in movies. Sounds like Ridley Scott might be similar to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. George Lucus and Ridley Scott are cut from the same cloth.

sicDaniel

How about "that scene" in Hereditary?

Robert Carroll

Was I wrong to just want the Resurrection talk to continue? That film is my kind of stupid, and so interesting. I loved this one of course Great job gentlemen! #buttpiss

Eren Keskin

H.R. Giger used an actual human skull from India when creating the Xenomorph's head. When Dallas turns the light on the Alien just before being snatched, you can see the eye sockets.

Eren Keskin

Seeing John Hurt and Harry Dean Stanton made me wish for David Lynch on the WLM feed. I'm sure other patrons would agree as well.

Dan sulin

We are adopting an orange cat today and now I have to come up with a different name, thanks a lot Steve! :)

Drew Stewart

I’ve called Resurrection in for LRM for YEARS, they need to cover it!!

Darryl Bowen

Alien(s) are my two favorites and hard to chose between the two. I saw Alien3 in theaters when I was 12 and hated it, I think mostly because I was more connected to Newt from pt 2 and was upset. Years later I went back and have a love for it. I still can't get behind 4 though. I too had a cat that I named Jones when I was a kid after Riley s cat.

Jarod

My mother saw this in the theater when it came out. Her boyfriend at the time took her. She told me she was already not into the movie but got talked into it. She had enough at the chest-burster scene. Left the theater and nearly threw up. Happens to be one of my favorite movies. Glad to hear you all are as big of fans of the Alien franchise as I am. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all!

Jacob Kay

I asked my mom about what it was like seeing it in theaters, here's her response: "I went to Alien with a friend who had seen it already and made him tell me when the chest scene was coming up. It was very scary, I had to cover my eyes at times and the soundtrack was really anxiety making."

Thanks guys for making my December and explaining def one of the best sci- fi horror movies of the 20th century. Love ur banter about Scott saying he wanted the feel of Texas Chainsaw in space and u feel the dread in that area where no one can hear you scream lol. The title card, the Female hero final woman, the writing and the great set design wove this movie into a must watch at any age at any time in our lives. Thank you for the knowledge and the humor u bring to the table.😉 🤟 Loyal Patreon Subscriber Bryan from Lake Stevens, Wa

Rotten Rid! 😅😅😅 As someone who is British this is extremely accurate!

J Foster

In Aliens, they make jokes about Arcturian p*ssy, so there are definitely other alien species.
