## Resource

Happy Alien Day! For 4/26 we wanted to make sure we celebrated the origins of the Alien franchise, so we're covering Ridley Scott's classic from 1979. In this episode, we basically just gush over how much we love the atmosphere, practical effects, and slow pacing - as well as drawing attention to some very notable 2001: A Space Odyssey comparisons. We're also drinking Founders Brewing Co.'s Easy Drinking Beer! Credit for the opening music selection to Mark Van Fleet, taken from Alien Versions , his alternate soundtrack to Alien . Approximate timeline 0:00-15:00 Intro 15:00-24:00 Beer talk 24:00-end Alien In May, we'll be tackling more Difficult Films!
