  • On this episode of Living In The Past, Jeff and Jeremy explore the 1979 Sci-Fi/Horror film, Alien (1979).
    While many consider this film one of the scariest of the last 40-50 years we debate if this movie is really a feminist film that explores sexual violence or if it is something quite different.
    Living In The Past is a show about revisiting pop culture from the past. Hosted by Jeremy Scott and Devin Kleffer (along with Carl the Intern), these two (three) friends can’t help but revisit the movies and TV shows that they loved from their younger years. Come along and get a little nostalgic with us as we look back, enjoy, and ask the important question: is it still OK to like this stuff?

    A fantastic conversation and discussion about this cinematic classic. As you were saying throughout the podcast, there is so much to talk about, so I will name my one thing. As I was listening I remembered Roger Ebert added Alien to his greatest film list, so I read it over again and I found this passage; "One of the great strengths of "Alien" is its pacing. It takes its time. It waits. It allows silences (the majestic opening shots are underscored by Jerry Goldsmith with scarcely audible, far-off metallic chatterings)." This is my one thing, as Ebert illustrates, the pacing and tone understate everything in the film. It is very unsettling, but also strangely and eerily comforting. By the way, nice shout out to Cinephilia and Beyond, one my favourite stops for a good cineaste read.

    The worst horror film for me is Love, Actually. All those people living happily ever after, I have panic attacks just thinking about being happy and in love eewwww 😊.
    Great video as always

      Hahah! Well played. I have never considered the horror that Love, Actually has wrought in the lives of it's viewers.
