Fright School

We're taking it back to junior high with a compare and contrast paper episode! We welcome to the studio Alien franchise super fan Daniel! The three of us break down our trip to the 40th Anniversary screening of ALIEN. Daniel helps us keep our facts straight, well as straight as they'll go anyways... When choosing sides, Joe lands firmly on the ALIENS side leaving Joshua outnumbered. We chat about the Vietnam War, motherhood, AIDS, male pregnancy, and Joshua gets a bit emotional at the thought of Xenomorph genocide. It gets weird is all we're really trying to say...
