Connor Goldsmith of the Cerebro podcast comes on the show to analyze the motion comic adaptation of Astonishing X-Men: Gifted, written by Joss Whedon and illustrated by John Cassaday. This means we analyze all of Joss Whedon's work up to the source comic's original debut in 2004, meaning full spoilers for Buffy, Angel, and even a little bit of Dollhouse and Firefly/Serenity chat. Since Connor's here, we also ask him about his thoughts on Scott/Jean/Emma/Logan, his least favorite X-Men comics, his MCU and Agents of SHIELD opinions, and soooo much more. Find Connor's work and podcast at connorgoldsmith.com.

Next week's episode: "Hell Road," Wolverine (Marvel anime)

Alien Resurrection '97: The Circuit City Iceberg Goo Pile - Mike, Mike, and Alien p. 4 - ep 461

Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney and Jess Dunne, this week with special guests Diamanda Hagan, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them.

This week, Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Alien: Resurrection.

In the distant future, the terror of the xenomorph is nothing but a distant memory. The company has faded into history. However, on a ship at the extreme reaches of known space, the government is conducting cloning experiments in the hope of resurrecting Ellen Ripley. However, these scientists are much more interested in the creature she carries inside of her, which is now part of her DNA.

At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
