My only real gripe with this movie, is that I don't have much sympathy for the protagonist. Yes, the old man kills both her friends and she may have need of the money, but it doesn't change the fact that their plan was still "let's rob a blind old man who just lost his daughter". He may have been doing some terrible shit, but they didn't know that. They were just planning on robbing a old blind man in mourning. That's not really the kind of person I have any pity for when their own actions bite them in the ass.

From here, there's two paths. One is to watch the 1995 Ring TV movie. The other is to watch the 1999 South Korean remake, The Ring Virus.

Thanks again, Shaun and Tom! 👾

The film industry (in the US at least) is finally starting to suffer the effects of "Corporate Evolution". Historically, studios were open to allowing a few flops per year done by younger directors and writers because every once in a while they would deliver movies that would make a massive profits for them. Now, studios are all about control, down to a level of micromanagement that chokes creativity. Show business has become 5% show and 95% business and eventually it will usher in the end of big budget movies and the cycle will repeat.

I’m definitely still subscribing. I’d rather watch whatever you guys wanted to do, rather than see the channel end due to burnout.

great discussion points after the movie, guys! Thanks so much!!

The new generation of Hollywood writers seems to be more interested in "schooling" their audiences in the "right way to think", than to write good stories with interesting characters. I bet it is much easier to cram in "Right-think" messages in already developed franchises, than to come up with new stories.

These are Highlanders.

loving your content, lads!

When this movie came out, the young lady that wrote to Harry potters. Was for all intensive purposes? A fairly young girl old enough to be a generation X. I don't know if Scott's and English people go by the generation X. Like the United States does, but that's the generation she would be from. I can't remember her name or I would just use it.

Alien will always be the best film in the franchise to me it has some of the best acting of all time. The acting is so natural and subtle that it’s much easier to suspend disbelief when it comes to the xeno and all the sci fi elements of the film. I’m a big fan of the franchise though so I can find things to love in just about every one of em.

Alien Covenant was not going back to original. Ridley just added Xenomorph back in and kept carrying on with the stupid and boring story about android making alien as a weapon. Its blasphemy. Its so anti Alien. Fede is ignoring the new direction which as a Alien superfan hated! Going back to what happened between Alien and Aliens is good idea. Plus its less CG. The Covenant CG alien was so bad. Looks so bad in 4k blu ray.

This was interesting - kind of an honest, behind the scenes look at the life of two reactors. I very much enjoy watching reaction videos but would never want to do it myself. I would imagine it would be difficult to enjoy the movie as much as someone who allows themself to be fully engrossed. I've seen many reactors talk right over some of the best moments in the films they are watching. It would definitely take away from the film going experience, in my opinion. I have no interest in a podcast but I wish you well. Hope it works out.

2nd saw movie is as good as the 1st one

Scotts 80s run is undeniably a hell of a feat. The duelist, blade runner, alien,legend and finished it off with black rain.

I love that I can go from your latest podcast to this first reaction and have a bit of nostalgia 🥹

Not enough talent in the industry anymore maybe acting wise but not in writing and directing.

Good idea, might work better if yous oick a year and pick your favorite film from that year. Would have went with 'the thing'

Avoid the extended version of Aliens, at least on first viewing. Takes too long to get going.

Aw man. I really loved this channel because you guys were reacting to movies not a lot of other people weren't. I'm not big on podcasts so I guess it's goodbye for me but I'm happy you guys are happy with this new direction. Good luck!

@1:42 Scott over Kubrick? Insanity! (hehe j/k -it's totally subjective :) )

@1:24 I beg to differ, Sir; Aliens is not better than Alien.

I agree, If they don't have new ideas, why not remake the bad old films? Why is it just the great ones?

I would say…”Psycho” being the first doesn’t make it the most influential…although movies have copied a lot of the elements of “Psycho” because the cinematography is highly stylized, & they are paying homage. BUT, I would say “Black Christmas” influenced “Halloween” and “Halloween” is THE REAL influencer queen of the slasher genre. When “Halloween” came out, then came all the 1980s copycats.

Aliens is bonkers. that would have been a good one on the channel. but i digress

The podcast is exactly why I was/am such a big fan of your channel. You guys didn't only sit down and watch the films, but offered great commentary at the end of each reaction. With this podcast episode I can tell and you truly love cinema without sounding pretentious.

OnlyFans 4 When??

THANK YOU!!! Give us the 3rd “Alien” prequel!!!! #JusticeforPrometheus

Gladiator was boring

The issue with Hollywood is that they don't view the more original ideas as profitable enough to warrant making a movie out of them so they keep recycle the same franchises and movies because they make the money.

Why the hell do you look so MASSIVE in this 😭

Tom please let us know what you thought of Aliens once you've watched it!

Who watches Prometheus and Covenant and doesn't watch one of the GOATs Aliens?

Im excited to watch alien romulus

As different as the two films are, they have at least one thing in common: both films have an excellent soundtrack. The sound drives these films and is an important part of these films.

The Thing is a masterpiece, a remake that is refreshing and explores it's own themes with paranoia and the affects of isolation.

Let me give you an idea if I could... (for the future of the channel) : rewatch ! Re-review ! Re-react !

Awesome discussion guys and The Martian is great Ridley Scott film, but I agree with Sean Ridley is an overrated director James Cameron is way better.

Alien and Aliens ARE the franchise in my opinion. The others…meh.

Love the alien franchise! Even if the new ones are mixed I totally still loved the focus on philosophy and the synthetics. Also really adored alien 3 by David fincher and alien resurrection! Hope you watch aliens. And I'm excited for Romulus!!

Aliens is entertaining, but it will never be first in my book. The ‘79 film is not scary per se, but rather intensely neurotic and unnerving. The sequel is just a bunch of shooting and prop displays.

I loved covenant , but not , the idea that David made xenomorph

No idea why you think gladiator two is about crowe’s characters son.

🙂👍

Sad that you're no longer doing reactions now that you say that you haven't seen Aliens 😁
