Do We Gaze into Alien, or Does it Gaze into Us?

Woman Inherits the Earth: Alien

In this, the Alien episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss scifi horror, the gender politics (or lack thereof) of Alien, Beth’s unabiding love of Yaphet Kotto, and what it means to stare into the abyss.

Content warning: discussion of body horror and other horror movie-level violence, and discussion of partial nudity.

Extra Spoiler Note: This episode contains spoilers for Alien, Aliens.

A note about spoilers: As much as we’d love to make this a spoiler-free podcast, the truth is, we can’t really get much of a discussion going without completely spoiling the plot of the film we’re talking about. If you don’t want to be spoiled, watch the movie before you listen to us.

Special thanks to aceinet, who recorded our intro and outro song, “Floyd Filtertron DA Shuffle.”
