The Hive Mind: A Xenomorphing Podcast

The Hive Minders are back to chat about the much-maligned fourth (and likely final) entry in the Ellen Ripley saga: Alien: Resurrection.  Each of the crew chats a bit about some of the elements we enjoyed in the film, ranging from the characters, individual sequences, etc.  Much of the discussion, however, is aimed at where we think this fourth film went wrong, and whether or not it was even a necessary addition to the franchise.  We also close out the episode talking about the recent news of Marvel Comics acquiring the rights to the Alien and Predator franchises and what that could mean for the direction and future of those series' within the comic medium.  We hope you enjoy this discussion!  What do you think of Alien: Resurrection?  Whether you loved it, hated it, or anywhere in between, please let us know!  We welcome and appreciate all opinions.  Thank you so much for listening!  Stay frosty! 

Dave, Michael, and Ryan enter the Hive to briefly discuss the recent news of a proposed Alien 5 treatment written by longtime Alien producers and Brandywine founders Walter Hill and David Giler.  We talk about our initial thoughts on the announcement, how we feel about the possibility of bringing Ripley back again and, after the debacle of Neil Blomkamp's Alien 5 being scrapped several years ago, if this is something 20th Century and Disney should even go forward with.  What are your thoughts on Hill and Giler's treatment?  Please let us know!  If you haven't yet, please be sure to join our "A Hive Mind" Xenormorphing Facebook discussion group!  Thanks for listening!

The Xenomorphing crew come together to talk about a movie that had one of the most troubled productions in film history: Alien 3.  We discuss when we first saw it, our first impressions and how we feel about it today.  We also talk about our favorite moments and characters, the genius of a young David Fincher shining through all the production interference, and the excellent score by Eliot Goldenthal.  We hope you enjoy our discussion and thank you for listening!

The gang is back and discussing the action-packed follow up to Alien: James Cameron's Aliens!  We talk about when we first saw it, what we loved about it, and our favorite scenes and characters.  Almost unanimously considered to be one of the greatest sci-fi action films of all time, and also one of the greatest sequels ever made, we really hope you enjoy this episode.  Let us know what you think of Aliens, and please join our new Facebook page: "A Hive Mind: A Xenomorphing Facebook Group" to have more discussions with us and your fellow fans.  Thanks again for listening!!

In the first full length episode, Dave, Michael, Mykal, and Ryan discuss Alien, the 1979 horror masterpiece that launched the franchise.  We talk about our individual experiences when we first saw the film and discuss what we love most about it: scenes, themes, characters, etc.  We really hope you enjoy this episode!  Please leave us comments and let us know when you first saw Alien and what you love most about it.  Thanks for listening!!!
