Mate this was brilliant was listening to this while working
Really cool you brought a friend over, and Celia brought up a lot of great points. It was a joy to listen to you both mate :)
I agree with Celia what she mentioned about technology, and the importance of sci-fi movies needed to look real. Really liked what you mentioed about the props and camera angles. I need to re-watch aliens now haha :)
You need to bring Davskecthes into one of these would be awesome to hear both you talk
Really enjoyed this mate :)
Thanks bro! Yeah Celia is great, We've been talking about movies together for years - I'm glad she was up for jumping on. Will try and bring her back again.
Yeah will totally bring Davsketches on too!
Nice video guys fair play, excellent Science Fiction Horror absolutely loved the series when younger especially the first two films.🌠🎬🍀
Cheers PJ, the first two are fantastic....the rest of the series is a little hit and miss sadly 😢
Alien is my favorite movie franchise.. the emptiness of space, the desolation, the feeling of something invulnerable and phallic being alive in the cold space is just so intriguing and has some tints of nihilism and desperate impossibility. The alien itself has a phallic form, but is the least removed from a life symbol, representing more the cold sexuality of death and mere impulse. I just love Aliens and the philosophy behind it.
Oh wow, if I had known, I would have added you to the episode too. Would have loved to have added a philosophy aspect to the discussion
@@RetroCrisis Wow, this took me by surprise, something we can definitely do if you want. Keep up the great work!
In space, no pixel can be shaded! Retro Crisis does Hollywood 😂 I can’t believe my ears! I loved this and I love all the alien films, my favourite franchise of films since Godfather. It’s crazy how old the film is like you say and still looked so realistic. I absolutely loved the newer ones aswell, I thought the last one that came was incredible with the way they told the story and characters. I want to do one of these with you, will you make a deal with the devil?
Oh it sounds like you've made me an offer I can't refuse...we have to make it happen! Also, had no idea you were an Alien fan!! Suprising me every day Mr Satan!
@@RetroCrisis The mysteries of my unknown are beyond anyone’s comprehension. Wise decision, see you in HELL 🔥
Really enjoyed this mate, my favourite film series
Cheers Paul, means a lot coming from you mate!! It probably won't be a regular series, but might do a few more movies later on in the year
@@RetroCrisis would love to have a chat with you about Aliens, The Thing or The Terminator if you had the opportunity, i still can’t decide which is my favourite!!
Looking forward to the new Alien film out soon
@@Retro_B8ah mate those are all on the list - I love all those movies. Let's make it happen
This was great I would love to see both do more of these, I love it Alien, It definitely is a great Sci-Fi horror , I agree that the practical effects are the best , Much better than the terrible CGI we get more than 4 decades later, Apparently the story about the hair Coming out of the Shorts Was made up by Ridley Scott Back in the day But she was the one who wanted to Wear the tiny top And at first Rigley Scott said They will never let us do that 😂 I didn't just hear you say you would like to see a remake, You know it's owed by Disney now, They would turn Ripley into a strong Lesbian woman of colour, Which I have no problem with But that's how they would sell the movie As she would be there to bring down the patriarchy And set things right for Diversity, Representation and inclusion 😂 I'm just having a laugh but let's look at what Disney has done To Star Wars , I think it's like you said alien is almost a perfect movie So they shouldn't be able to touch it, If it ain't broken don't fix it 😂
Haha you're not wrong at all mate!! I don't want Disney getting their grubby paws on a remake!! I think a studio like A24 world be a perfect fit, but is want it to be ultra scientific. But in all honesty, it's perfect as it is really ❤
Uh!!! I will love to participate in one of these :D
Haha let's make it happen
@@RetroCrisis You have my email in my bios :) I think I wrote you didn't I?
We live in the same city essentially I am the worst I need to make the time this summer for sure to meet.
Alien/The Exorcist /Friday the 13th ..classic movies of their time ❤
Agreed. The exorcist is another example of a 'perfect' movie to me
My parents took me to this when it came out. I was 6. It caused me to fear the dark to this day. In conversations with my parents as to WHY they took a 6 year old to it, their response was basically that off the heels of Star Wars they just thought it was a spooky space movie. Up to then, most horror movies were gore fests or campy. As a movie, Alien affects a deeper part of the human brain. Trapped, far from home, and hunted. It is not a horror movie, nor a space movie. It is the moment a group of technological human beings realized they are now way down the food chain and no real time process that.
Thanks for sharing your childhood experience. I bet it must have terrified you for years, especially at that impressionable age. You make some fantastic points about the movie and it's core messaging. Honestly, we probably could have spent hours talking about it.
Proof that special effects must be special to be effective. As long as it serves the scene, it can be digital, practical, in camera, or post-processed... or removes pubes. 🤣
On that point, the entire point of stasis pods is that it maintains your body *in stasis*, so you basically do not age or grow, at least not to any meaningful extent. Hence no extra hair, etc.
There should be an academy award for excellence in pube removal 😂!!!
Ah I see what you mean about the stasis pods. I heard there's a novelisation of the movie, I wonder if it goes into more details about the stasis pods
After the face hugger died, they were studying it, but they didn't cut into it or dissect it. So, there's no plot hole there to worry about. 👍
You're absolutely correct. I just didn't like how close they were to it without face protection, just incase the hugger decides to acid jizz on them 😋
@@RetroCrisis😂😂😂 In space, porn can’t scream.
@@TheRampageTulk We'll just have to test it out for ourselves won't we!
21:15 I agree with this totally. It's the parallel to being human that makes the alien so very terrifying! And again, the monster you don't see is scarier than the monster you see!
Great little discussion you two! Though i do like a little less agreement.. most of the time.. you both can work on that! 😂
I actually disagree with something you said, about how people want movies that look and feel real. Now, i want that, and you want that, but as far as the public goes, I totally disagree. People want what studios have been making, that's why they spend so much money to see the same old, same old. Disney, Pixar, Marvel, DC, and all the terrible regurgitated sequel nonsense.. most people LOVE IT! Maybe not us.. i hope?
Haha it's funny you say that because a lot of the time we do have opposing opinions on films or portions of films. This was the rarity where we near 100% aligned in our thoughts on the movie. Hardly surprising considering it's "Alien" 🤣
But yeah what you say is tragic. People vote with their wallets, and sadly the same old Marvel/Disney CGI, cloud beam BS keeps getting money. How do we stop it?! How do we break the cycle!!? 😭
Oooo now we’re talking
Haha mate, you an Alien fan?
@@RetroCrisis massive m8, one of my favourite film franchises, I do like Prometheus atm. The storyline intrigued me 🤩
@@Boz-vf5myah that's awesome - you must be wetting yourself for Romulus??
@@RetroCrisis Yeah I keep checking for the release date 👍
