In our inaugural podcast, we talk about the science-fiction classic Alien (1979). Alien film vet Jason discusses with a total newb Judy what she made of the sets, the story, the characters, and that infamous chestburster scene.

To begin, we love Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, and Eddie Redmayne. We've even been known to enjoy the output from the Wachowski's. Who would've thought we'd be so frustrated with their collaboration in Jupiter Ascending. Join Judy and Jason as they laugh about the plot, the characters, the action scenes, the bizarre use (and misuse) of bees, and the strange way in which a film called Jupiter Ascending features so many moments of Jupiter falling.

Jason takes Judy for a stroll down the hallucinogenic and circuitous Mulholland Drive, David Lynch's masterpiece. Judy parses her second first impressions, Jason chimes in with some yay's or nay's, and the discussion explores the characters, the twisting story, and the countless symbols in the movie.

Do you like movies? Do you like to hear people talking about movies? Do you like when those people are painstakingly trying to finish their Ph.Ds in digital media? Do you care about narrative, character arcs, writing, and special effects in movies from totally random genres? Look no further! Tune in as Jason and Judy give movies of various and questionable quality a "once-over." We watch a movie or two and record our immediate reactions, and are partial to science-fiction, horror, cult classics, and thrillers.
