This is rumour control - here are the facts. Peter and Phil discuss the third film in the Alien franchise that has polarised audiences since 1992. See what we think - do we enjoy the nihilistic, dour, dark story of convict monks on a prison planet? We also talk through the very interesting fraught behind the scenes stories featuring a first time director (who would go on to become very famous) versus a studio that at times seems to be acting like Weyland-Yutani.

Peter and Phil take to the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland to explore The Blair Witch Project for its 25th Anniversary. Back in '99 the movie quickly became a global phenomenon with everyone going to see it and it being hailed as the most terrifying film ever made. How does it hold up? Do the Maniacs love it? As well as going through the movie we also explore the fascinating behind the scenes stories, including running around in the woods, making stick people and piles of rocks and banging on tents. Taco!

Peter and Phil try to find their way through The Mist from 2007, written and directed by Frank Darabont from a story by Stephen King. We discuss the story, characters, behind the scenes stories from the making of the movie, differences between the novella and the film, and the weird and wonderful creatures that lurk within.

Peter and Phil take a deep dive on a drop ship back to LV-426 to explore James Cameron's action packed sequel Aliens. We go through the actors, characters, story, themes and lots of behind the scenes stories. Why would Ripley go back? Where are the colonists? Who laid all the eggs? Find out here.
