43:24 Fun fact! My sister has a master’s degree in speech therapy. When we watched Alien Resurrection in theaters, during the Dan H chunk of brain eyeball cross, she told me that the back of the human brain is the ocular center. So going cross eyed after having a piece of the back of your brain excised is technically correct! How ‘bout dat?
This film is entertaining enough, but more in a 'cheer at the glorious gore' way than any kind of atmosphere. Also, when she delivers the line 'who do I have to f...' you can see that Sigourney Weaver was like 'do I really have to say this?'
Listening to these commentaries over the years its surprising how often Duncan does slip into 'The Partridge'. Water a way.......to have a good time. Bang up job as always chaps
It sounds like Richard is radioing in on a CB. Or at least holding an empty solo cup up to his mouth. I thought he was doing a Bane impression at the beginning, but it never went away.
My brother had a beautiful making of coffee table book for this film. Featured some incredible set, costume, prop, alien design etc etc. But alas that’s about as far as it goes for me on this entry.
Highly underrated, Resurrection is easily the most disturbing entry of the franchise. Smarter than A3, sometimes goofy (which some hate), it succeeds at what it is and tells a compelling story, with memorable scenes.
Little known fact: when this film was released in his home country, director Jean Pierre Jeunet wanted the tagline for Alien: Resurrection to be: EST-CE QUE VOUS. VOUDRIEZ. DU... CREME?!
Did you delete your comment on Die Hard 5? Personally, I had no issue with it. The douchebag called White Dragon was more concerning to me. He came across like Nigel Farage's love child.
Richard isn't a fan of the Bond series so not sure he's up for that. Really would love it though since Duncan loves the movies and knows so much about them. Plus he missed a few of the earlier films when doing commentaries on the other channel.
40:30: I too have it in for Joss Whedon. I hate how he always blames his failures on other people. Like with this movie, he's said that the problem wasn't his script, it was that the director didn't know how to adapt it. He said the same with the Buffy movie, which I really think is disingenuous because I read that script and it is VERY close to the final film. I do like SOME of the stuff he's done, but Richard is right - he's way too "try hard".
lol. Close, but it's spelled "lam." As a verbal pun though it's top notch. If you had said you were on the lam because you porked the wrong person, I'd have ignored it.
Sig Wea got paid 20 million for this film. Then the premium amount for A-listers (Jim Carrey was the first, getting it for Cable Guy). She was the first actress to get this amount.
IMDB trivia: Sigourney Weaver was paid $11 million to come back as Ripley, which was the entire budget of Alien (1979) (not adjusted for inflation). Not sure if this is accurate.
@@parkpunk2 Hmmm, I remember reading when the film came out that she was paid 20 mil. It was unprecendented for an actress, but as Fox needed her, she could claim Cruise, Hanks, or Gibson's fee.
Whedon blames everyone but himself for this movie, sounding like his script was Casablanca before the director and actors messed with it. However, it carries his signature hipster douchebaggery in its tone and dialogue. I can enjoy the first Avengers film, but the overwhelming smugness keeps me from loving it, and I couldn't sit through Ultron
I get what you mean now when you said that the cursing can't be contained for "a few" more videos. Jesus christ lol. P.S. Duncan, I'm truly sold by your merch ad👍
I like two scenes in this movie, but that's about it. I feel, outside the underwater chase and flamethrower to the botched clones scene, this film just came off as tired and goofy. It's more or less the same of what has come before, but there just isn't a whole going on in this sequel. Out of the 6 movies, this one comes across as the most as a cash grab from 20th Century Fox.
I wish you had focused on the movie. I listened to the first 12 minutes and you talked about what was happening on the screen for a few seconds. So for 12 minutes I got taking about seeds in someone's mouth, what a sequel to this would be like, and complaining that people said you should read articles about the movie, not just watch it.
Having only seen this movie once, the real problem I have with it is the script. The story is just a pointless retread, that goes nowhere for most of it's runtime, and has no ideas. Interestingly, when no one is opening their faces to make noise, a lot of the visuals are really creepy and arresting, and the credit for that has to go to Jeunet. He's a bad choice for straight-up horror though. He does "nightmare" really well, but his signature tone is also whimsical and funny, which works against the Alien tone. It's sort of like hiring Terry Gilliam to make a Terminator sequel.
Ain’t got no interest in being a contrarian, but I honestly prefer this film over the first two. It’s not BETTER, but I have more fun with it. And anyone who puts forth a Michael Biehn to prop up Aliens, I raise ye with Ron Perlman, who is a Man so precious they had to prefix his gender with the most appropriate gemstone
Is this the worst alien movie? No. Its better than the AVP films and I do go back and fourth between this and the prequels, no not those one the other rubbish ones. Its just the tone is just...bizzar, even as a standalone film its abrassive as you've got Jose Whedon's smart mouth dialogue rubbing against Jeunet's attempts to make the tone more serious. But hey at the least aliens aren't running around because the characters are morons.
what's with all the laughs and digressions? you just completely forget about the movie, get all over the place, and really loud in the mic, that's really off putting
Sorry about the sound issues, we've significantly upgraded our sound gear since this recording and hope to get back to creating new commentaries with upgraded audio soon. As far as the content goes; that's just our style and I'm sorry to say that it may just not be for you. Thanks for commenting though and I hope you have a great weekend. R

The first director of the franchise to not have a beard lol.
"Fuck the fuck off, I don't wanna hear any of that shit"
We love you Duncan!
3 years ago , thank you algorithm for channel I am subscribed to
As a stand alone movie Resurrection is perfectly fine but as an Alien movie it's just not good enough.
Yeah, I think you've about hit the nail on the head there Gary.

Val Verde broadcasting and red letter media are the best thing on you tube.......love you guys

First Casey impersonation drops at 17:10
They will be on Disney Plus now cause of the merger.
I love the art design/color palette of this film.
You should definitely do a commentary on 'The Predator' and all it's batshit craziness.
Ooh...yeah...hmmm....maybe?!?

It feels very much like the product of Buffy-era Whedon, and an artsy director who didn't speak English.
An early idea for this was the 3rd film was ripleys dream
Ripley's Drempt It or Didn't.
I've had a beef with someone, so I'm going on the lamb because I'm chicken. That's the correct usage right...?

It was probably wise to cut the first part off from the archive version. 🤐
Shhh, nothing to see hear ;-) (deliberate spelling mistake)

Just last night I was hoping you guys would do a resurrection commentary
I can forgive Wynona, but never Anthony Worrall Thompson

Duncan, she does use the word alien in Alien3 when she plugs in Ash and asks "Was there an alien on board?"
Marty bishop dude . Ash was alien lol

Prometheus > Resurrection
