At long last we are covering Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece Alien. We go over how the film is really about, surprise, capitalism, and how the ultimate aim of capitalism is to discover the perfect war-making commodity, in this case, a merciless killing machine unburdened by illusions of "morality," as one character puts it. Great movie, really fun to discuss, and we were even joined briefly by a special cat guest as we were discussing the prominent role in the film played by Jones, the crucial feline crew member.
We open the episode by going over the recently declared (by RFK Jr and Trump) connection between Tylenol and autism. What's next, Aleve is actually responsible for cancer? We consider the ominous implications of being governed by a cadre of people who seem to exist entirely in a world of illusion of their own making.
This podcast contains spoilers for Alien.
