Released in 1997, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, written by Joss Whedon, and starring Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder, ‘Alien Resurrection’ was a critical and commercial failure, but still represents a significant part of the franchise's history and canon.

Ben and Rob travel back in time to 1918 with the second instalment of Ti West’s X trilogy ‘Pearl’. The origin story of the villain from ‘X’, Pearl lets us in on her young adult life and sparks a debate on whether violence is inherent by nature or nurtured within her by the nightmare that was 1918 America. We get a vivid insight into how Pearl LOVES spending her free time, whether it’s killing farm animals named after silent movie characters or abusing her severely disabled father, it’s all fun and games…? So what was the state of cinema during the first world war? Is Pearl the best period drama of all time? Is Ti West some sort of wizard genius able to accurately depict the state of cinema during any time period through his characters? Is Ben’s rap career finally getting the RESPECT it deserves? And most importantly, Is Mia Goth ACTUALLY Pearl IRL?

Ben and Rob leap into the fire of controversy with ‘Alien 3’, the debut feature film of legendary director David Fincher and widely considered a staggeringly disappointing film both critically and commercially. Starring Sigourney Weaver, Charles Dance and Lance Henriksen, ‘Alien 3’ follows Ellen Ripley after her Sulaco escape pod crashes on a planet populated by violent male inmates; and violently undoes huge amounts of story work established by James Cameron in his eighties megahit ‘Aliens’. Widely considered a terrible end to Ripley’s story, this film is nonetheless Rob’s absolute favourite entry in the franchise; MUCH to Ben’s utter horror and disgust.So what exactly does this botched sequel offer that can’t be found in its superior prequels? How did the most astounding of sci-fi franchises fall so low? Has there ever been quite such an unlikely string of stupid, repeated, wilful, stupid, greedy and above all STUPID mistakes made in the production of a movie?PLUS!

Ripley returns to LV246 as advisor to a company of Colonial Marines investigating the lost signal of its new colony, and makes box office and movie history in the process.But without the prime movers of Ridley Scott and Dan O’Bannon on board for this sequel, does enough of the original DNA survive?
