On a podcast, no one can hear you scream. Or at least they can&#39;t until weeks later, when it&#39;s probably too late to do anything about it.That&#39;s right: it&#39;s Alien, the Ridley Scott 1979 original that kicked off a franchise that is still with us today. This one finds the balance of sci-fi, horror and suspense in a way that I don&#39;t think has ever been matched.Our guest Laura Alcoriza brings heat on this one. I won&#39;t lie: I struggled to keep up. Hopefully, I didn&#39;t make a total fool of myself, at least not any more than usual.

Dazed and Confused with Phil Murray

Each week we bring on a friend, from lifelong to brand new, to talk about their favorite* movie. We like to talk about why our favorites are our favorites, what they make us think and what they make us feel. I can't promise a lack of spoilers (let's face it; there will be spoilers!), but we're much more into what movies mean to us personally. We talk about favorites because we want to explore how movies affect us so deeply. One thing I've always found is that even those who don't think of themselves as movie fans have a favorite movie and have a lot to say about it!
