I and @simonxix are reluctantly wading into the murky waters of Alien vs. Predator for this month's #TheXenopod from @TAKEONECinema. It was a more interesting film to talk about than watch, especially in the context of what has come before and since: https://takeonecinema.net/thexenopod/avp/

Today brings the latest edition of #TheXenopod on #AlienVsPredator: @simonxix & @JimGR on why the #film doesn't work, how its white supremacist premise fits into racialised readings of the films, and its weird contested position as a #paratext in the multi/#transmedia franchise.

A snippet from this month’s #TheXenopod. @simonxix’s disappointment is palpable, and @JimGR is relieved and swearily smug. Available now!

Loved doing the episode of #TheXenopod (follow @TAKEONECinema!) on #AlienResurrection. Not to give the game away, but it's the first of the franchise thus far I feel is unabashedly Bad™ (albeit with some decent fleeting moments). Episode isn't out until a few weeks time, but check out the ones we've done so far!

Today sees a new episode of #TheXenopod: @JimGR and @simonxix dive into the infamous ALIEN³. Pick it up at all good pod sources or https://takeonecinema.net/thexenopod/alien3/. We discuss #Alien3’s unfortunate scripting issues, troubled pre-production, and how it exemplifies the #Alien franchise’s identity crisis.

If you're following along with #TheXenopod, you have 24 hours to watch #ALIENS (1986) before our next episode comes out tomorrow. It's on Disney+ in the UK and Starz in the USA.

The next episode of #TheXenopod is in the can, pending @simonxix's editing magic. You may be surprised by our opinions on #JamesCameron's #Aliens and its influence once we got into it - even I was. Stay tuned to the @TAKEONECinema socials for when it goes live.
