Re: Alien: Resurrection
I was prompted to listen to this full episode earlier tonight after Teague sent me a message about Toy Story rape and Joss Whedon. I think I listened to pieces of it a few months ago but never finished the full thing. I gotta give a little backstory about my experience with this film so you can truly understand my relationship with it. I never had a strict upbringing as a kid when it came to the type of movies I could watch. I can remember seeing Terminator and Predator when I was around 7. One of the benefits of my stepdad being a cheap bastard is that he had one of those "special" cable boxes so I was able to watch a lot of stuff that would normally require a rental. I didn't watch all of these movies with supervision and I saw quite a few by myself in the basement. This happened to be one of those movies and I can still remember thinking it was nothing more than average when I saw it as a kid. As an adult, I outright hate the film other than a couple decent moments scatted within mountains of mediocrity.
Anyway, about the commentary, Eddie carried this episode like he was Sam with Frodo on his back on the way up Mordor.
