“I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, Spotify will pick me up. This is Francesco, last survivor of Because You Watched… signing off.”

Welcome back! This week Charlie and Francesco, joined by special guest Laurus, go deep into sci-fi horror beginning with everyone’s favourite movie about aliens who just want a hug, Alien (dir. Ridley Scott, 1979).

After that they discuss British cult classic Lifeforce (dir. Tobe Hooper, 1985), Polish-Soviet transhuman mystery Inquest of Pilot Pirx (dir. Marek Piestrak, 1979), finishing on Japanese body horror Tetsuo: The Iron Man (dir. Shinya Tsukamoto, 1989).
