E8M1: Them Aliens Babies

Season 1, Episode 18,   Aug 28, 2020, 06:04 PM

Sometimes you do an alternate take on a not so great property, and it blows up in your face, because the altered redux is worse than the original premise. This week we "read" Audible Original Alien 3 by William Gibson.

WARNING!  At this point we have given up any pretense that this podcast might ever be anything but NSFW!

This week our heroes discuss the Audible "Audiobook" adaptation of Alien 3 by William Gibson.  They find out way too late that they've been ASMRed into yet another Dirk Maggs production.

The guys get right into spoilers for this several years old audio production, and are not happy about it.  They discuss Gibson's impact on the sci-fi genre, and why this offering is weak as hell, and who is to blame (surprise, the conclusion is Dirk Maggs).

The brothers share their incompetence and lack of knowledge about the Alien franchise as a whole.  Rance skirts around his dislike for multiple entries in the franchise, and Bob blows his mind with a theory about the Aliens series and it's meaning as a whole.  As usual, it has to do with something naughty, and general disdain for parenthood.  The episode finishes up with some conversations about some stuff, but why are you still reading this?  Go listen to the dang episode. 

P.S. School is coming.  It's not the end of the world, but if someone else says "The new normal" everyone gonna flip shit.
