Following their discussions of Aliens (1986) in the previous two episodes, and Alien3 (1992) much earlier, Dan and Ian now take on 1997's not-much-loved fourth part of the franchise, Alien Resurrection, although the two can't agree whose idea it was. Listen as Ian rediscovers a nightmare from literally half a lifetime ago. The discussion doesn't dwell on the story in detail, but if you haven't seen it, beware of spoilers.
There's also a very off-topic digression about Game of Thrones and The West Wing, but Dan cut most of it out...
Alien Resurrection is available for streaming on Disney+.
