Description

For their third conversation, Emilio, Madeline, and Julian take a look at the iconic original-and-sequel pair of 'Alien' and 'Aliens.' They trace the film landscape into which the 1979 original enters and how the movie shook up the Sci-Fi and Horror genres, before getting into what the 1986 sequel amplifies about the original as well as its own distinct merits. Emilio and Madeline are big fans of both to begin with, but Julian initially digs one and is not as sold on the other. Have his opinions shifted with fresh viewings? Plus, why is Madeline so taken by Jonesy the cat? And what visual moment of the franchise stands out the most to Emilio?

Emilio, Madeline, and Julian love music, and spend their afternoons and evenings working for and teaching at a music school in midtown Manhattan.  But they also really love movies.  A lot.  So when they're done teaching, they stay up late and discuss a movie, sometimes a few, that they've all agreed to see recently.  Opinions, musings, personal stories, and sincere film enthusiasm ensue.
