In episode 27 of the podcast, we are joined by Leif immediately following our trip to see Prometheus at the local IMAX. We take the opportunity to talk about the Alien film franchise as a whole, starting with the original 1979 film, and each of the three direct sequels. 1986's Aliens from hit-maker James Cameron, 1992's Alien 3 from the incredible David Fincher and 1997's Alien Resurrection which was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. We briefly touch on these four and then really settle in to discuss Prometheus which was conceived as a prequel and succeeds on many levels. With five films to cover, we go a bit longer than normal but many intersting points are covered. Please do not listen to the spoiler section if you have not seen Prometheus, and do not listen to the show at all if you do not want the other films spoiled since we do not hold back while covering them. Please let us know your thoughts on the films we cover and on the show in general by writing to us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.

26 - What the Fudge!?
Episode 26 of the podcast looks at two films that surprised us with sudden bouts of total craziness and left us scratching our heads and asking "what the...?"After recently seeing Joss Whedon's The Cabin the Woods, which caused this reaction numerous times, we started talking about other movies that had elicited similar responses and we immediately thought of these two gems. 2003's Dead End starring Ray Wise and Lin Shaye, and the hilarious splatstick film, 2007's Botched starring Stephen Dorff and some of the worst russian accents ever commited to video. Both of these movies are fun to watch and full of surprises, both large and small.
