This week on MoviePod we are discussing a film that I find so interesting that it inspired me to change to this format. I am joined by my great friend Ben to discuss Alien 3, also known as Alien³, or Alien Cubed. David Fincher directed this bleak and depressing film but disowned it after the studio interfered. An extended cut, known as the Assembly Cut, released in the early 2000s restored much of Fincher's vision.

Alien 3 has a really troubled and fascinating history and it was a blast to dive in deep to see why people absolutely despise this film for killing off fan favourites while undestanding why people appreciate that bold choice.

Heads up: there are some Game of Thrones season 3 spoilers in this episode. This movie does feature Tywin Lannister but the spoiler actually is not about him!

"Hold on tight, spider monkey"

Andy returns to MoviePod to discuss the hit film Twilight. As Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's careers have hit new critical heights people have treated this young adult adaptation with far less contempt. This film always had its fans but the detractors have softened their vitriol. This is still a batshit insane film and our discussion is a lot of fun.
