Alien (1979)

Rye Smile Films is back with a new cask, this one titled "The Corporation from Hell!" This week we take a detailed look at Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece, Alien. This film is loaded with themes and memorable set pieces but it's easy to forget the evil corporation pulling the strings from behind the scenes. We tackle the production history of the film along with an analysis of the unique story that gave birth to one of the greatest cinematic monsters. The Flight for the week asks, "What is the best movie tagline?" The Nightcap for the week asks, "What is the best film to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards?" So sit back, pour yourself a glass of Rye and get ready to board the spaceship Nostromo, on a trip to the ultimate nightmare. Cheers!
