Today we bring you our discussion of Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien with special guest Jon Greenaway! We discuss SO MANY INTERESTING THINGS such as our nerdy love of Terry Eagleton, the horrors of capitalism, the material conditions underpinning the plot of the film, Ripley's savvy suspicion as a woman, the alien's subversion of the male/female binary, and the capacity of horror to address contemporary cultural anxieties.
By the end of this podcast, both Lisas are keen to explore more horror, which is a testament to the persuasive power of this incredible conversation.
The essay we discuss is from "On Film" by Stephen Mulhall: https://philpapers.org/rec/MULOF
