The original Alien movie is easily explained by saying that it is Star Wars meets 2001 A Space Odyssey meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Basically, Jaws but in Space. And when you can garner comparisons of all of those movies, then it is no wonder why it won an Oscar and is the 51st highest rated movie on IMDB. The movie that made us all afraid of stomach aches. Does it still hold up? Does AJ think it is too spooky? Do we think about this movie every time we have a bad stomach ache? All this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:15 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:13:15- Critical and fan reviews •0:21:30 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:44:00- Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: ****Draft Kings- Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app and use code CONFUSED to get $250 in bonus bets when you bet just five bucks AND get one month of NFL+ Premium on us!

In honor of the 35th anniversary of this movie, we decided to re-release our original movie review from August 16, 2021. Is there a big sexy guy in here?? The demigod, John Candy, partners with one of the 80's most iconic directors, John Hughes, to bring us a larger than life comedy. Can the stand out performances of Candy, Culkin, and company, be enough to salvage a classic fish out of water scenario? Can John Hughes create enough space for Candy's first major lead AND make it out from under his own Brat-pack shadow? either way, one things for sure... he's cooking our garbage. —————————————————————— **Also, we have a Patreon. If you are enjoying the podcast, want to support us and enjoy some extra perks and bonus content, check it out at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast —————————————————————— **Every link you could need from us. Http://confusedbreakfast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
