Episode Details

This week we investigate Creative Assembly's "Alien Isolation" (2014) with Andy Kelly (PC Gamer), and search for the scene at its center.

This is a podcast about movies, and the scenes that make them special. Usually on our show, we explore a film we love, a new release, or ask our guests to bring a movie they can’t wait to talk about. But this week, and throughout the summer, we’re devoting our show to 20th Century Fox’s Alien Franchise.
