Alien is a B-Movie Done in an A+ Way

Ridley Scott dropped Alien in 1979 and—just 2 years after Star Wars hit the idea that sci-fi wasn't bankable with the Death Star—gave us not only one of the most enduring science fiction classics, but a terrifying haunted house movie to boot. Clint, Cal, and Alex discuss "Newcomer of the Year" nominee Sigourney Weaver, how Ripley isn't the main character of the movie (for most of it), and why the single most ambitious shot in the entire film might not be the one you think it is.
