‘Alien 3’ Went On an Express Elevator to Development Hell – Going Down, Down, Down [Halloweenies Podcast]
Welcome to Fury 161, where we’ve got no entertainment center, no climate control, no video system, no surveillance, no freezers, no fucking ice cream, no rubbers, no guns, but we do have the Halloweenies. And they’ve brought us very precious cargo: lots of data, plenty of smarm, and three epic recordings to log over the next few weeks.
Join co-hosts Michael Roffman, Justin Gerber, McKenzie Gerber, and Rachel Reeves as they begin their sprawling coverage of David Fincher’s Alien 3. Then again, it wasn’t always going to be Fincher’s film, and in the first of three episodes dedicated to the 1992 anti-blockbuster, they explain why as they chart the film’s long road in and out of development hell.
Stream the first of three episodes below and stay tuned for Pt. 2 next Monday. Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky! This year? They’re looking to the stars with the Alien franchise.
You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins, Jaws), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Invasion of the Body Snatchers ), and even spinoffs like their recent run Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
The Halloweenies take a break from the cenobites and dig up the deadites again to review Evil Dead Burn. It’s a full house for this installment and the feelings are all over the place with some divisive takes amongst the five of them. Lucky for you, there’s a seat at the table… join them and enjoy your mashed potatoes.
If you recall, the gang tackled the entire franchise — including Ash Vs. Evil Dead and unofficial entries like Drag Me to Hell and even Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness— in anticipation of 2023’s Evil Dead Rise. Be sure to revisit the entire season, starting with their two-part episode on Sam Raimi’s original DIY classic.
