Subtextual

Sam and Lizzie with returning guest Brodie go to space where no one can hear them scream for spookober classic ALIEN! This film sits at the intersection of groundbreaking and perfection, and is infused with so much underlying sexuality we are basically offering you a masterclass. From lesbian icon Ripley, to the xenomorph as a standin for the gender binary, this film gives so much more than you bargained for.

**content warning** discussion of sexual assault and forced pregnancy, take care of yourselves!
