It is kinda weird how Mary Ellen Trainor plays Sean and Pheobe's mom here, but she's also the mom in Goonies lol.

I've pretty much always been Aliens. I love both, but Aliens is perfect cinema to me and can throw on at any time.

Alien wins if we're just looking for the horror angle though, no contest.

Yeah, Alien is for sure more horror. Aliens is a much better popcorn flick and easily the more rewatchable.

Ending the night with My Bloody Valentine 3D. A decent remake. Got absolutely nothing on the OG though.

I figured that would have blown Jason's mind. Make her the mom in Lost Boys and Stranger Things and you got a fucking Grand Slam.

Fuck it, I say you can do some rewatches, sometimes there is good reason, like if D could have joined us for Maximum Overdrive etc. Just keep em on the lowdown. Can't have Jigs watching the same "no-talkies" and Tiggs watching 80s bush all the days.
