Thursday is here and that means it’s the start of our second annual Harvest Horror Fest! This year Matt has given full control over to Mike Talent well he is picking the films we are watching if that’s considered full control. First up is an incredible sci-fi horror classic that is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year, Alien (1979), directed by the infamous Ridley Scott and starring Sigourney Weaver. Not Alien (the film) related topics include Triple Force Friday, robot juice, and Hastings (R.I.P).
Alien is an incredible film that has stood the test of time. It is still a very scary movie with amazing practical effects especially the Xenomorph. The cinematography and acting do not disappoint either. Do you think Harry Dean Stanton ever aged? The guy always looked the same on film no matter what his age was. If you have not seen Alien by now you need to buy it or rent it from your favorite online service now! Mysterious Mike Talent loved Alien and thinks it’s just as good today as the day it came out in theaters in 1979. He lovingly gives the movie 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt also really enjoyed Alien but thinks it has aged a bit more than he expected. He, believe it or not, gives it a lower rating than Mike with 4 out of 5 Reels.
Next week the podcastage continues with Gemini Man directed by Ang Lee starring Will Smith. On Thursday our second annual Harvest Horror Fest continues with another classic horror film review! Tune in Monday to Magic 99.1 with Leza Live to get Matt’s first impressions of Gemini Man and find out what our next HHF film will be. Thanks for listening and we will chat at you next week!
