James Cameron's 'Aliens' | Patreon #32
GAME OVER, MAN! Alien August continues with Kelsi and Trey's exploration of the iconic sequel to Ridley Scott's 'Alien.' We discuss the action spectacle of 'Aliens,' and Cameron's legacy as an escapist blockbuster filmmaker, as well as how he struggles to totally realize his commentaries of a marine-Vietnam satire, the motherhood ideas, and the power dynamics of Weyland-Yutani via Burke. Regardless of the movie's contradiction, the film's action set pieces make this Sigourney Weaver-led film a memorable one, especially when Ellen Ripley leads an iconic ensemble into battle next to legendary character actors like Bill Paxton.
