Popcorn Culture - Throwback Tuesday: Alien

Released in 1979, Ridley Scott's Alien is many things: a movie chock-full of indelible, striking images; the first time many of us saw the Giger-inspired Alien; the first time we met one of the great heroines of cinema, Ellen Ripley; the introduction of new terms into science fiction and horror fans: facehugger, Space Jockey, the list goes on. In this episode of Throwback Tuesday, we dive head first into the trials and tribulations of the Nostromo and its crew.
