This month on Swords and Space radio, return for another helping of that seminal science fiction/horror film, Alien. As a sequel to last June’s episode on Ridley Scott’s original 1979 classic, we will focus on the sequels and a consideration of the series as a whole. Aside from discussing their artistic merit, we’ll delve into some of the symbolism with reference to Dr. E Michael Jones’ work Monsters from the Id.

Join hosts Richard and Nicholas Wansbutter and guests Matthew Zepf and Jason Frazier for this week’s discussion.
