Alien: Resurrection
It's been a hot minute/5 weeks, but we're back!
It's time to close the chapter on a another multi-part series with Alien: Resurrection. Yes, Ripley is back...sort of...with her usual dance partners to nearly lay waste to all the films that came before it. One of the most mind-boggling, incomprehensible messes ever put to film is unfortunately the bookend to one of the best films ever made. (Spoiler alert)
But, while the movie was pretty awful, we had a blast talking about it! Actually, talking about with 2 of my favorite people was what made this worthwhile. So join us as we discuss the "Citizen Kane" of the Alien films, Alien: Resurrection.
(Yes, the "Citizen Kane" comparison is sarcastic)

Alien 3
Fresh from our own production hell, much like the subject of this episode, we are proud to present (finally) the Fight With Mike! episode on Alien 3. Not that we are proud to present Alien 3. No, not really.
Alien 3 was a film mired in production problems, a revolving door of writers and directors, and studio micro-management for years. Somehow this muddled mess made it out into the world, much like the birth of a xenomorph itself.
Yet, despite the mess, there are some gems hidden in the pile. Enough to save the movie? Probably not, but Mike, Andy, and Adam grab their torches and high explosives and head down into the basement to look for redeeming qualities in this movie.
