ALIEN or ALIENS, which script would win a rap battle? Yes, time to talk James Cameron and his ALIENS screenplay -- and to discuss what makes this script tik-tik-tik-tik-tik-tssss!!! (That's my alien impression!) I also briefly discuss: Ruthless People, First Blood and Rambo, & Howard the Duck...and I ideate Aliens ".3"... Also, it's possible I had too much fun with the script read! Come on in, the sequels are warm and the hypersleep capsules are cold!

Christmas movies! Christmas stories! Santa Claus! Cartoons! And Jack Lemon! All the things you want in a Xmas podcast. First, I read my original tale THE GREAT BIG SANTA STORY (for your kids, it's downloadable here: https://tinyurl.com/Santa1st10Pgs⁠⁠ ) -- it's fun and has homages to A Nightmare Before Christmas, Rudolph, Frosty, & more! Then I offer a super-unusual list of Xmas movie recommendations. ENJOY! -- CREDITS: The music in The Great Big Santa Story is copyright as follows: - CSR Raritys (Sleigh Ride) - Mountain Gypsy Project (We Wish You A Merry Christmas.

The First 10 Pages Theme: by Edison Carter.

Christmas movie time! If Ralphie shoots Scutt Farkus's eye out, will the other one still be yellow? It's a wild script read! (Well the 1st 10 pages anyway...) And the script analysis and film critique goes in a direction you won't expect! Come for my impression of the Narrator (Jean Shepherd), stay for the unusually descriptive screenplay. P.S. And a special thx to France.....
