We have just uploaded the 130th episode of the Alien vs. Predator Galaxy Podcast (right-click and save as to download)! For our latest episode Corporal Hicks and Xenomorphine are talking to none-other-than Peter Briggs, the screenwriter behind the very first Alien vs. Predator movie script!
We talk about how Peter career direction took him to being the first screenwriter on Alien vs. Predator, the reasons behind some creative decisions, the challenges of writing crossover events like AvP (or Freddy vs. Jason), how Peter was involved in Anderson’s film in a low-key way, Jim and John Thomas’ own pitch for Alien vs. Predator and plenty more!
Unfortunately we did experience a number of technical issues during this episode so please forgive us some lower quality audio and no video, but we hope you enjoy it regardless!

I am one who liked Prometheus, but the black goo is starting to get on my nerves unfortunately...

Heard this one first, goes into a bit more of Peter's early years...
"The Alien films are about the Alien, not about Ripley"
Awesome, totally agree. Some cool ideas being thrown around.
It's not too well known that Powell did something - but it's something he talked about before. Like I mentioned in the episode, I'd always been under the impression it was a prequel rather than a sequel. I wrote about it in my Alien 2's that never were article.

It's the easiest way to get out of the Prometheus retcon!
Thank you!
It was actually Eric that got him on the show! But it's one of those funny ones where I've known Peter for so long, but was just never something that came up. Glad he finally came on and talked to us though! Was a really enjoyable record.
Well, whatever the excuse, just listen to us!
so briggs is also on the that the engineers and jockey are 2 different things bandwagon . as am i . i hope one day Cdl directs a briggs written scripts about just such a story.
many informative pieces of conversation . .
thanks a great podcast
Completely agree with Glaive here - that was a fantastic interview. Hicks, I applaud your determination to get this guy on the show. Bravo
Peter seems to be such a cool, down-to-earth guy and definetly well versed in the franchise. Bravo to him for wasting 2 hours of his life on us, nerds
And one other thing I've discovered recently - AvPGalaxy Podcasts mix extremely well with me playing Isolation. I recommend everybody trying it out lol
...one point Peter...
The word is "adapTAtion"...Christ, he even got YOU doing it at one point Hicks!
Mr. Pedantic
Is there any info on second script ?
