We recapped Alien (1979) this week, as part of our 'Oscar-nominated horror' theme (winner: Best Visual Effects).

Highlights of the episode include:

• This is why people need to listen to women
• Facehuggers: scrotums or spiders?
• The tension of a beeping dot...
• Everything is genitals! (To the tune of Everything is Awesome)
• Decades later, Alien's practical effects + cosmic dread = horror magic
