This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, we’re heading deep into space — and straight into the hive — as we take on James Cameron’s 1986 sci-fi action masterpiece Aliens. With Paul away again, Scott and Rob are joined by returning guest Marc Parslow and special guest Benjamin Devlin for a full-throttle discussion on one of the greatest sequels ever made.
From Ellen Ripley’s iconic return to the sheer terror of the Xenomorph Queen, we break down everything that makes Aliens an absolute powerhouse of 80s cinema. Expect plenty of quotes, deep dives into the film’s groundbreaking effects and pulse-pounding score, and a fair bit of debate over whether it’s more action than horror.
We’ll also explore the movie’s lasting legacy, from its influence on gaming and pop culture to its unforgettable supporting cast — Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez, and the doomed marines who thought it was “just another bug hunt.”
So strap in, check your motion trackers, and remember: they mostly come at night… mostly.
