La Cucaracha - with Paul Gannon

Description
"A cockroach from ALF's spaceship grows to gigantic proportions." One of the most "sci fi" of the ALF plots so far, its alien vs alien to the death as scriptwriter Jerry Stahl tries to make up for the appalling "ALF fancies a teenager" script earlier in the run. Holding the bug spray are Ben Baker and John Matthews who are really only in this for the Trevor. Special sexy guest star Paul Gannon from Cheapshow, Digitiser and all that groovy stuff thankfully manages to prise them off him long enough to discuss the sci-fi tropes and the unusual tone throughout this episode for a prime time family sitcom. About ALF. Oh this one is a bit swearier than usual so just be aware. Soz. Want bonus content? Join the Orbit Guard here and support us doing this madness: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/ALFsplainingExtra
