Welcome to Fury 161, where we’ve got no entertainment center, no climate control, no video system, no surveillance, no freezers, no fucking ice cream, no rubbers, no guns, but we do have the Halloweenies. Join the gang as they begin their sprawling coverage of David Fincher’s Alien 3. Of course, it wasn’t always going to be Fincher’s film, and in the first of three episodes dedicated to the 1992 anti-blockbuster, they explain why as they chart the film’s long road in and out of development hell.
