It's episode 161... and in space... no-one can hear you snore...
This week, Alien³ (1992), David Fincher's first movie, as 'We love franchises' season wraps up.
Alien³ tells the story of Ellen Ripley who, having survived the events of Aliens, now has to fight another Alien (which also somehow survived). This time the showdown is on a planet inhabited by a band of all-male space prisoners who haven't seen a woman in years, and don't have any weaponry to speak of.
We talk about the common-sense fortification; common-sense surgical hygiene; and a common-sense approach to guardpost staffing.
Whatever happens, one things for sure: In an insane world, a sane man must appear insane.
Next week, we return to our great love, Found Footage, with Creep 2 (2017).

It's episode 160... and I've heated up some warm milk for you, honey.
This week we're kicking off our latest franchise: A Nightmare on Elm Street.
You may remember us covering A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) way back in episode 7 - but don't worry, we're revisiting it with fresh eyes nearly three years on - ready to kick off the latest How to Survive Franchise. Strap in for 90 weeks of excitement!
We talk about the correct handling of evidence both before and after a trial (and subsequent vigilante justice); a thoroughly researched foray into ways to achieve dreamless sleep; and why you shouldn't trust the world's dreamiest ride-share route.
Whatever happens, one things for sure: Oh god, I look 20 years old!
Next week, 'We Love Franchises Season' continues apace in space, with Alien³.

It's episode 159... and I will not be threatened by a walking meat loaf!
This week, An American Werewolf in London (1981), which tells the story of David, a backpacker who is bitten by (you guessed it) a werewolf while on a trip to (you guessed it) London. David begins seeing visions which seem to indicate he'll transform into a beast at the next full-moon, but are the visions right, or is he going mad?
We talk about the efficient use of firearms; making good on apparent interdimensional conveyance; and the dangers of rubber-necking outside of the world-famous adult cinema in Central London.
Whatever happens, one things for sure: A naked American man stole my balloons.
Next week, try to stay awake as we begin our new franchise... it's A Nightmare on Elm Street...

It's episode 158... and this one who's blind... She's the one that can see.
Don't look now, but this week's movie is Don't Look Now (1973) - a movie about a couple whose loss leaves them feeling lost. John and Laura seek to escape their grief in Venice - but it's easier said than done for their pair, as their grip on reality begins to unravel.
A safe and healthy dose of health and safety leads the conversation; but look out for our fashion tips for murderers; and more thematic comparisons than you can shake a seance at.
Whatever happens, one things for sure: If the world is round, why is a frozen lake flat?
Next week, John Landis' 80s classic 'An American Werewolf in London'.
