Will Rose kicks off the annual Halloween Drive-In Bonus series with a bang, diving headfirst into the chaotic and thrilling world of monster fight movies. Joined by the dynamic duo of Ryan Does and Leah Robinson, they dissect the 2004 gem "Alien vs. Predator," a flick that blends action, horror, and a dash of questionable decision-making. Right from the get-go, Leah’s witty quip about wanting her 90 minutes back sets the tone for a light-hearted critique, while Ryan and Will chime in with their own takes on the film's merits and missteps. The trio explores everything from the film's contrived plot—where ancient aliens have been using Earth as their personal battleground—to the baffling decisions made by the characters, all while keeping the banter flowing. As they unravel the layers of nostalgia and spectacle, listeners are treated to a relaxed yet insightful discussion that balances humor with genuine film analysis, making it a perfect start to the spooky season.

Takeaways:

  • The crew kicks off the Halloween Drive-In series by diving into the 2004 flick Alien vs Predator, setting the stage for monster battles galore!
  • Leah's first reaction after the film? "Well, I can't get that hour and a half back," showcasing the mixed feelings of the viewers right out of the gate.
  • Ryan and Leah riff on how their differing opinions on the movie might affect their friendship, bringing some light-hearted banter to the conversation.
  • The movie's PG-13 rating surprises the gang, leading to some nostalgic discussions about what that meant in 2004, especially regarding the amount of 'stabby stabby' action.
  • The gang discusses the odd choice of setting the movie in Antarctica, pointing out the ridiculousness of characters exploring an ancient temple in freezing conditions without proper jackets.
  • Leah brings up the humor in the film's writing, as the characters drop cheesy one-liners, making it feel like an 80s action flick, which sparks a lively debate among the hosts.

Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.
