It all comes down to this. Either this is the best "Alien" film or it's the worst, and none of us agree.
The party meets an unexpected ally as they search for the frost portal in the caves of Bilgewater. Armen gives in to his baser instincts. Griffin develops a strong connection, and Ummon faces his greatest challenge yet.

We find a lot to debate in this underdiscussed movie about an immigrant family finding their place in America.
Our heroes head deep into enemy territory. Armen does his best version of stealth, Ummon hears a chilling new voice, and Griffin digs in his heels.

We take a look at the popular Anime, The Seven Deadly Sins, and the conversation is immediately derailed, as per usual...
Our heroes embark on their first official mission as members of The Blood Ravens! Armen receives a special gift, Ummon is enthralled by his new employer, and Griffin gets caught in a dangerous situation.

A couple weeks ago we took a look back at one of the most influential sci-fi horror films ever made. This week we continue with that very same franchise to take a look at one of the most influential sci-fi action films ever made. Nick Slaick joins Ted and Richard once again as we re-watch the entire "Alien" franchise. In our Second installment, we watch "Aliens" (1986)
Our heroes are officially inducted into The Blood Ravens Guild. A blacksmith strikes a chord with Ummon and hints at the ancient knowledge that powers Armen's weapons. Griffin must confront his past.
The Blacksmith in this episode was named for, and inspired by, the excellent homebrew work of Jinx. You can find their amazing work at gjxjinx.wixsite.com

Pixar has proven again and again that they have the chops to deliver a powerful emotional punch, but they may have bitten off more than they can chew in their latest movie.
Our heroes grieve a tragic loss in an epic battle. Ummon learns an uncomfortable secret, Armen makes a new friend, and Griffin must go Dad-to-dad with another dad.

Welcome to Aliencast! Between new releases, we're going back for a closer look at one of Sci-Fi and Horror's most influential film franchises! We're joined by Nick Slaick to talk about one of cinema's most storied franchises.
It's no secret that this movie has got some problems, and we're almost too angry to talk about it coherently...
Ummon's dark secret is revealed, Griffin meets his heroes, and Armen aims to lure a new pet as our heroes learn of a grave new threat.

I would warn about spoilers, but everything is so convoluted that I can't imagine it being a problem. Join two huge Christopher Nolan fans as they discuss his absolute worst film.
Our heroes continue on their quest to become Blood Ravens! Ummon shows off his skills, Griffin spots some unexpected guests, and Armen takes a tumble.
Join us after the show on THE SECOND WIND where we discuss the appropriate height of gnomes, inner demons, and whether real boys feel pain... You can find The Second Wind at www.Patreon.com/CharacterArk
