Ep. 291: Classics Catch-Up (or) Hot Garbage? -- "Alien" (1979) / "Alien 3" (1992)

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are starting 2021 by tackling the "Alien" franchise but splitting the four movies along tonal lines, so this week will be the more horror/thriller based films, with 1979's "Alien" as this week's Classic and 1992's "Alien 3" as this week's Cult. Stay tuned for the other half in the next podcast.
