This week, Pop Jedi journies to LV-426 in honor of the 35th Anniversary of one of the greatest sci-fi horror/action films of all-time with episode 23.
1986's Aliens, the sequel to Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien, launched James Cameron and producer Gale Ann Hurd into the public spotlight, not to mention making Sigourney Weaver an A-list star and cementing Ellen Ripley as one of the most iconic and important heroines in any major franchise.
After 40 years, the Xenomorph is one of the most marketable alien designs ever created, and Aliens fans can still be found quoting characters and lines from the heart-pounding film ("Game over man!" is a personal favorite).
Join hosts Rob DiLauro, JennaSayWhat, and Di Marie as they discuss the Aliens in this week's video episode below.

About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
