Paul returns to discuss his favourite film in the Alien series: Aliens (1986). One snag: Sean and Sarah prefer Alien (1979).

Sean tries to derail the review by discussing his frustration with James Cameron's latest films. Paul thinks Terminator 2 "broke James Cameron".

Did Paul really prefer Barbie over Oppenheimer?

With a sting from the fantastic Marv at 'Pods Like Us'.
