Fifty Years of Shit Robots

Happy Christmas from Fifty Years of Shit Robots. This year, we're joining film-maker and friend of the show, Lesley-Ann Rose, on her traditional festive Alien franchise rewatch. We're going to watch them all in chronological order because what could be more Christmassy? Today we've arrived at James Cameron's 1986 sequel, ALIENS. The robot is BISHOP, who is pretty handy with a knife.  WARNING! The S**t-bomb is used but nothing more. TikTok: @FiftyYOSRInsta: @FiftyYOSRNOTES  PETER BRADSHAW ON ROGER CORMANhttps://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/12/roger-corman-cinemas-pulp-genius-whose-talent-to-shock-was-rocket-fuel 7 KEY VIETMAN MOVIEShttps://www.historyhit.com/culture/best-vietnam-war-films/ ALIEN QUEEN GARBAGE BAG TESThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vtLK-DxdGc
