@@jessmorales4841 oh yeah they definitely knew about it which is why Ash was planted on the crew as Chief Science Officer as part of Special Order 937 to make sure they got the creature and protected it from the crew trying to kill it. I remember a scene where Ripley and Dallas are having an argument about Ash’s decisions as Science Officer including breaching quarantine laws and insisting it be studied, and Dallas mentions how Ash replaced the original science officer they had before their return voyage to Earth with the minerals from the colony they were mining at. So yeah Ash was definitely planted under Special Order 937 and Weyland Yutani (who interestingly enough are never mentioned by name in the film, only as “the company”, but were referred to in the script as Weylan Yutani) definitely knew about the crashed alien spacecraft and knew about the contents and cargo given they had deciphered the warning signal.
Also, James Cameron must have assumed this too when making Aliens.. Because, in Aliens, when Ripley is being grilled by the company higher-ups, in the crew "bios" that are being displayed behind her, all of them (with the exception of Ash) had had run-ins with the company. (Either lawsuits, or bad work histories, etc.) So, Cameron set this idea up for the sequel by suggesting that the other six members were possible "trouble-makers" that the company wouldn't care that they were gone anyway.
Excellent episode fellas! I also am onboard with the idea that Ash's attack on Ripley with the magazine is weird and clunky because he's having a conflict of his programming. I always thought he had a base programming of protecting the crew and ensuring their safe return home. But that programming shifts once his priorities become about preserving the alien's life form to capture and transport. This conflict causes him to freak out and short circuit. Like he's fighting against his new orders. Anyway, just an idea.
@@raidersofthelostpodcast_ Totally! Kind of brings up an interesting idea about Aliens, when Bishop criticizes Ash's model of android, saying they had flaws in their programming. Whereas, it could be that the "flaw" in Ash's model is that it fought against the Company's orders. Just a fun little rabbit hole of a theory. 😎
@@MrJoshuaGray Right?! It makes so much sense. And I've always preferred that interpretation. Gives the android Ash so much more complexity and depth, making him somewhat of a tragic character.
I was 9 years old when I went to see Alien. It was unlike anything I have ever seen before. It was a nightmare to behold and witness . Now as a much older man , this is still a masterpiece. Ridley can’t outdo himself .
Just rewatched this masterpiece last week in anticipation for Romulus. Great work reviewing and breaking down the production! I hope we love the new movie!
I saw this in the theater when it opened when I was 14… After the “chest-bursting” scene, John Hurt became my favorite actor! He remains so to this day!
I actually saw Alien for the first time in theaters a little while ago and I was stunned. I always knew it was a movie I needed to see but the dread, suspense, and mystery captivated me and locked me into my seat. The people infront of me were also seeing it for the first time and actually had to leave the theatre because it was too intense 😂. The world building with literally never touching foot on Earth is insanely clever and it deserves the praise it gets.
I love the energy to this episode. the excitement to discuss it is palpable 🎉 I can watch you guys recreate the alien reaching out for Dallas over and over again 😂
How can there be any debate about whether or not Ash knew? Of course Ash knew, he was obviously acting on specific orders that they gave him or programmed him with when they attached him to the mission with two days' warning. The instructions of "crew expendable" were given to Mother before mission departure as well, since the Nostromo got no signals from the Company and was acting purely upon detection of the signal from LV-426
Credit should go to Saul Bass who created the hieroglyphic title. He was a well renowned graphic designer who also designed iconic posters for The Shining, Anatomy of a Murder, Vertigo, among others.
Hi guys Enjoying this podcast. I saw this opening weekend in ‘79 With my mother and 9yo brother. Most frightening and exilerating cinematic experience of my life. Want to share something I never got confirmation on but stand by it- when Ripley takes charge and confronts Parker I noticed the first time I saw it that Ripley had a welt on her cheek. It added to the stress of the scene. I later realized that it was probably a real welt from when Veronica Cartwright slapped her for real per Scott’s direction in a now deleted scene. Damn she slapped the shite out of her.
I wont go into a lot of depth here, but...I saw Alien when it premiered in 1979. After the chest burster scene, many people were sitting out in the aisles because they were too afraid to return to their seats...lol. Ridley was floating around the idea of having the Xenomorph kill Ellen at the very end, mimicking her voice to transmit the message at the very end of the movie. Now consider this: If people were afraid to return to the seats, how do you think they would have handled this?
Alien is one of the all-time greats, it upped the game massively in terms of the science fiction and horror genres coming right off the tail of Star Wars two years prior and heavily influenced by 2001: A Space Odyssey over a decade before. It polished B-grade monster horror elements into sublime and cold horror blending grim industrialism with sexually-charged body horror, HR Giger was a huge influence designing the titular creature along with the alien ship and the countless of eggs the crew encounters. Also love the used future aesthetic of the crew’s ship and its mechanics, Star Wars popularised it but Alien perfected it and made the technology and machinery even more used, dirtier and worn down. Sir Ridley Scott of course made a superb classic and it’s interesting that this really opened up the doors with him for his next film Blade Runner which would come out three years later. A superb film!!
Yes, the scene that was left out (after Dallas is taken), involved using the air-lock and apparently some de-pressurization. The alien was near it, when Parker spotted him while going to fill the other flame unit. He got on an intercom to let them know, when suddenly alarms went off (by Ash). startling the Alien. If you notice then after this, when Ash starts to attack Ripley, she has a bloody nose--from the de-pressurization. This was also included in the novelization.
That deleted scene you guys mention about the trap they set, its actually used as DLC for the Alien Isolation video game. Its a short fun mission thats seperate from the main game.
Its crazy how every time i watch it i notice something new either between character interactions, set design or camera shots. For example near end when Ripley climbs up the ladder and walks towards the Narcissus the scene cuts to a shot of the ladder from another angle but I think intended as POV of alien stalking her. Never ntoiced it before and its very creepy.
i worked in a factory of milling machines. these machines had diseased metal and armoured cables that looked very gigeresque. the lubricating oil for the machine looked milky. a very dangerous oil called suds oil. when i saw this in Ash, i knew he was drinking suds oil (milk for the actor). that's when i saw the realism of the android
Duel was a TV movie, though that was released in theaters afterwards. "Sugarland Express" is (his own words) his first feature then followed by the shark movie. Not trying to start anything but just saying
The use of last names has a theme from the military. Not only are last names used, people that are close friends still use last names with each other but may shorten it or use a pseudonym for it. The cat that Ripley has probably belonged to someone else named Jones, she calls it Joansie as a term of endearment. In the military, someone named Cendrowski will be calls "Skii," someone who is Williams will be called "Wil," someone named Smith will be called "Smitty."
Weyland yutani 100% put the crew together to go investigate the signal. If you dive into the lore everyone on the nostromo had caused the company headaches in one way or another so it was two birds one stone from the beginning.
Everything is subliminal. like everything looks like teeth with the charaters inbetween. Rob Agar did a great 2 hour break down. you can grab it for a few bucks. Good stuff
@@raidersofthelostpodcast_ Only occurred to me when u were discussing it....45 years post release. Saw it when it came out & many times since. Have watched every doc there is, yet u managed to uncover facts I didn't know....Tip of the hat. Blade Runner over Alien, but it's like choosing between your kids. My all time favorite film is Lawrence of Arabia. Now that's a masterpiece. Cheers fellas!
Some sort of enzyme coating the mouth area kinda like our tongue or mouth. It's evolved to melt nonflesh surfaces but doesn't hurt flesh because they need their host alive. Head canon
I was with you guys until you got to the “theory”. That’s not a theory, it’s the plot. WY assigned Ash to the Nostromo so he could come back with a Xenomorph. The plan fell apart when Dallas told Ash to stay on the ship. This leads to Kane getting infected, and the rest of the crew being killed.
I saw this movie a few years ago and I didnt really like it. But I was still locked in for over 2 hours listening to you guys talk about it. Your enthusiasm made me want to watch it again so I did and I actually really enjoyed it. How am I supposed to be an edgy film critic if you guys keep making me like all the good movies. UNSUBSCRIBE!
This movie is one of the ones where I remember where I saw it. The time of day. The smell everything. I was at my grandmothers house. She was cooking collard greens lol. My uncle had movies and I grabbed one and watched it. Idk why I’m my head I connected that my grandmother was cooking and alien. (Just think of the One Punch man scene)
I was worried that prometheus would ruin the mystery of the space jockey but when I look at the engineer compared to the space jockey... the space jockey is 5 times bigger than the engineer even when it's suited up in the chair. From the trailers I assumed that the engineer we see in prometheus would end up being the space jockey we see in the original alien but it can't be because that space jockey is 5 times bigger than the engineer, even when it's suited up in the chair. So for me it added more mystery, whether that was intentional or not, I dunno. I feel like prometheus added more confusion than anything. ✌️ 🍻
The reason the space jockey looked so big in the original movie was because ridley scott used his kids as stand-in actors for that one particular shot revealing the space jockey.
I've been disappointed in a few new releases I've seen this summer. I saw Alien in the theater for the first time in 1979, I was 14. It was embarrassing because I liked horror and Sci fi as a kid and this was the first movie I jumped in. I was with my 15 year old girlfriend with long nails, so when I jumped my arm would get clawed which made it worse. I followed Riddley Scott and Sigeourney Weaver for years afterwords. I'm looking for Romulus, excited that riddles Scott really likes it.
Wrong, I’ve been calling my best friend by his last name his whole life, we didn’t play on a sport team together, and we definitely did not go to the military We watched South Park, smoked weed and skipped school The good old days
Yen I love the Soace Jockey. He supposely like a machine intelligent or something amazing beyond imagination and out if this work. One of the best scene. The second is the alien ship. Prometheus just kill it. A dumb move from Ridley
Whats crazy is in 2017 i actually did my film production final thesis on the monstrous man trope in horror films and this film was most of my talking point! Big up raiders! Also UNSUBSCRIBE FOR STEALING MY THESIS FOR YOUR RUclips VIEWS
Ash wakes up with the suction cup things that read your vitals while you’re in hyper sleep. They (Weyland Yutani) put Ash on that ship on purpose… because it was an inside job!!!
Am I the only one who doesn’t give one fuck about the space jokey lol… like I’m here for the aliens. I never thought twice about that stupid shit lol, I want crazy horror alien action. Prometheus as okay, I liked covenant a little better. My movie order in which I would watch Alien Aliens Alien Romulus AVP (I will fight you on this) Alien 3 Alien resurrection Convenient Prometheus

The death of cinema is when you have hundreds of thousands of film students turned film critics/film analyzers that make endless videos about ridley scott, christopher nolan, spielberg, kubrick and NOT ONE OF THEM can write a good script today. Problem is most filmmakers are narcissist fanboys. Godless depraved filmmakers flooding film schools has taken away absolute truth (and replaced it with morally subjective soft story), humility, levity, and hope.

I have always been on the same page with Anthony when it comes to the possibility that the company knew about the signal and planted Ash.

Yen I love the Soace Jockey. He supposely like a machine intelligent or something amazing beyond imagination and out if this work. One of the best scene. The second is the alien ship. Prometheus just kill it. A dumb move from Ridley

Ash wakes up with the suction cup things that read your vitals while you’re in hyper sleep. They (Weyland Yutani) put Ash on that ship on purpose… because it was an inside job!!!

The editing...... 🤮
Stop with the layering
The podcast editing?
Dude quoted Gladiator on accident. A film with such class deserves to be quoted intentionally. UNSUBSCRIBE!!!

Yall are just schilling for add bucks. Tired of all the fucking commercials interrupting. Won't be watching this channel again.
@@bolyami1975 it’s an ad every 15 minutes, everyone on RUclips uses ads, this is our full time job. Netflix, Amazon and Hulu use ads now even with subscriptions. We’re sorry if you don’t like it but unfortunately this is how we pay our bills
@@bolyami1975 schilling eh? They seem pretty passionate to me…and using adds to support your podcast and family is part of being a professional now days…at least until they won’t have to anymore

@@justinkyle5091 Thanks pal 🫡
You and everyone else know this shit and have known it for the past 30 years lol 😂 but ok 😊
Get a load of this brain-dead bozo
I liked the movie a lot. But it's hardly a masterpiece.
Great contribution, bumboy
Masterpiece give me a break. Aliens was way better.
You guys are great, but the movie is boring and dumb as is all Hollyweird crap. No creativity
Thanks for watching anyways 😌
It's okay to be you, remember that. Not everyone has an IQ above 75.
The death of cinema is when you have hundreds of thousands of film students turned film critics/film analyzers that make endless videos about ridley scott, christopher nolan, spielberg, kubrick and NOT ONE OF THEM can write a good script today. Problem is most filmmakers are narcissist fanboys. Godless depraved filmmakers flooding film schools has taken away absolute truth (and replaced it with morally subjective soft story), humility, levity, and hope.
@@VFXforfilm I’ve made two short films, one of which was accepted into the prestigious Rhode Island International Film Festival, my second is even better and is in post production, and James is making a film this October. You have a horrible attitude about the world of film
Bros a certified yapper im unsubscribing from vfxforfilm and making a burner account to double subscribe to raiders
So are you unsubscribing?
