“This is the only place I can find to respond to Paul and Amy’s discussion about Alien. I was 21 years old and just about to graduate from college when I saw this film. I had majored in literature so of course knew all about rounded characters. None of that mattered when Sigourney Weaver triumphed in the end. A woman in her underwear piloting the space ship home, the sole survivor, the leader, the winner. Paul, I’m sorry, but you’re a man, and your preference for The Thing over Alien is just anti-woman. You really can’t understand the impact Ripley’s triumph had on every young woman I knew.
The underwear was so important! The vulnerability was essential, but the type of underwear was a combination of blue collar and aspirational - only very slender women like Sigourney Weaver could pull that underwear off.
Great podcast, btw!”

“Terrific first episode. Thought there could be nothing new or interesting to say about Citizen Kane, but it was a terrific hour. And as much as I love Paul on How Did This Get Made, its great to see this side of him. Less emphasis on jokes and more on just earnest (but still fun) movie criticism....”Read full review »

“Only average, too much rambling on, also appear to want to compare what they did in the 1920’s, 1930’s I.E black face in dance sequences to the modern worlds opinion of blackface. A little bit of banter is great but stray far too often, the subject matter is great though”
