📝 Description

"Alien" is a seminal 1979 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott, known for its terrifying creature design, suspenseful atmosphere, and groundbreaking visual effects. The story follows the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo as they encounter a deadly extraterrestrial organism that hunts them down one by one. The film is celebrated for its unique blend of sci-fi and horror, establishing a new benchmark for the genre and launching a successful franchise. Its depiction of future technology, though now considered dated in some aspects, was influential and is discussed in the podcast as an example of how past predictions of the future can seem "stupid" over time.
