Alien (1979)

In our latest episode, regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by the producer of the outstanding documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune, Stephen Scarlata. We kickoff our Ridley Scott doubleheader, with his 1979 sci-fi masterpiece, Alien. Stephen breaks down how this film was directly born from the ashes of Jodorowsky’s Dune and we continue to worship its magnificence.
