On an all-new, epic 70 Movies We Saw in the 70s, Ben and interim co-host Jim Healy take a deep dive into deep space to dissect an all-time sci-fi/body horror classic, Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece, ALIEN.

Come for the atmosphere, cinematography, naturalistic performances and profound mystery, stay for ribald stories of Miss Hidden Valley, Johnny Dangerously, Francis Veber, and an intense game of "Which film has aged better,  ________ or Alien?"

Ep. 40 - Alien

What makes the loss of Mark Lanegan so devastating? All you have to do is listen to that voice. It’s the best kind of beauty —the only one that matters, really— the kind that makes you appreciate the experience of living, while simultaneously hinting at the darkness and inevitably of death. It was the most amazing and unique instrument of our generation. Go listen to one of his many records today and be glad you’re alive to experience it. RIP, Mark. We love you.

55. LIFERS - RIP Mark Lanegan (with John Agnello)

Cool people don’t really like to talk about themselves — and Aly Jados (of the super awesome Chicago band Blood People) is really cool, so she REALLY doesn’t like to talk about herself. But all that reserved reticence won’t stop the guys from pestering Aly about her dad’s guitar, scary band names, her new Monday bowling nights, making heavy music that’s catchy as fuck, singing Steven Tyler songs in front of Steven Tyler, favorite Metallica songs, Punky Brewster, ghosts, and Gabe’s scented balls.
