Alien 3 With Eammon Jacobs

Welcome to The Fincher Takes It All, a brand new limited series podcast which celebrates and reflects on the filmography of director David Fincher ahead of the release of his next movie Mank. Today I am joined by film and tv journalist Eammon Jacobs to discuss Fincher’s directorial debut, Alien 3, a film haunted by studio interference leading to Fincher famously disowning the movie. The film joins Ripley as she crash lands on a world which is a maximum security prison. When a series of strange and deadly events occur shortly after her arrival, Ripley realises she has brought along with her an unwelcome visitor. Me and Eammon discuss the film’s infamous production issues, the variations between the two different cuts, how some early Fincher flair comes through and whether Alien 3 is actually a bad movie.
