Ben and Nate share their thoughts on William Gibsons's unused screenplay for Alien 3, a film that is hated by the fanbase. Could Gibson have done it better? Yeah, probably, but it's still kind of mid. You wanna hear about how my landlord took out a wasp nest? It is a metaphor for the Alien franchise, and also practical pest control advice? All this…

Content Warning: Sexual Themes Christopher Moore is back with another book. It's fine. A mediocre man cracks wise while getting increasingly over his head in trouble.
