Conch, didgeridoo, or "serpent", most likely. Goldsmith used a lot of unorthodox instruments for the score.

Quote from: Prez on Sep 12, 2019, 11:47:22 PMThe musical score in that scene only compounded my sheer terror as a 9 year old seeing it for the first time (very early 80s on TV).

I'd love to know how they produced the signature Xenomorph "wobble" sound in that piece of the score (which you also hear when it descends on Brett).

My favourite scene is Parker and Lambert's death sequence. I just remember watching it 1000000th time or something like that and suddenly realsing "It's smilling ! That bastard is smilling ! "

@ Hicks

Dark Star and Outland would be very interesting if u ever do a one off podcast, especially since Outland feels like it could exist in the same universe as Alien. Don't think ive seen the other films you mention? but ya an episode on Alien knock off's would be very interesting for a podcast if you guys are running short on podcast ideas.

Hey guys, I love your podcast. It would be nice have movie commentarys of you guys. Zaki and Rian of the Moviefilm Podcast did a very good take on Alien this year. :)

Thank you!  :) That is definitely something I'm really interested in doing for all the films! We've tried a couple of times but it never seems to go swimmingly.

I'm only halfway done. My favorite moment so far was Hicks trying to get the podcast back on track...(paraphrasing) for the love of God can we stop talking Aien 3
:D

It wouldn't be a podcast without tangents.  ;)

Learnt a few new factoids, wasn't expecting that so thanks. And don't you be slacking of Hicks, you gotta think of something good for the 100th podcast... :P

I've got the 100th episode sorted. And I'm actually quite excited. It's goes all the way back to our heritage.  ;D

QuoteAnd yeah, I'd listen to commentaries from all three of you on all of the movies, honestly. And I'm still waiting for that Isolation playthrough, not to mention the AVP2 one.

There's just not enough time in the world.  :'(

Just a little off topic, and it's not relevant to this site. But have you guys ever thought about doing a one off podcast that's not Aliens or Predator related? Would love to hear you guys thoughts on other classic films like The Terminator franchise, The Thing, RoboCop, Star Wars ect.

I'm not so interested in doing episodes like that - they seem more like something you'd do to intice Patreon subscribers as a bonus episode - but I'm very interested in doing knock-off or relevant movies like Outland, Dark Star, Inseminoid, Red Alert, things like that.   


I'm glad everyone is enjoying the episode! Was just really self-conscious of this one.

Great pod guys. So many memories brought back around first reading the Alien Photo Novel back in 79/80!
Thanks to my elder brother this then 7 year old not only knew the whole story but what the Alien looked like. Wouldn't be a couple more years before I watched it on TV (which was censored to buggery).

That novel and the Making of Alien were staples for me and formulated a lot of own artistic style. I was drawing biomechanical creatures in primary school much to confusion of my teachers  ;D

So today I found a copy of that photo novel on Ebay and bought it for a bargain $28!

@Xenohunter99 nailed it on the head. In the late 70s movie goers had never seen or experienced anything like this on a visual level. It was so unique in design (largely thanks to Geiger's nightmarish creativity. I still remember my brother talking nonstop about this film.

I remember also how very little movie going audiences knew about the Alien itself. Did Ripley actually destroy it at the end? How did it see with no eyes? Was it indestructible?

Thanks Ridgetop. I'll look on Youtube. :)

BTW: I was convinced to watch A3 2003 Spec Ed (again) yesterday. I think that movie gets better over time or something. ;D It's one of the hazards of making young franchise fans: Resurrection, AVP, and A3 all get the benefit of fresh viewings. And the young people love the movies! Especially Resurrection and AVP. :P

Ridgetop, I saw the MGM attraction at Orlando, too. The best part was, they had props from the movie on display. It's been a long time, and I don't remember exactly what they had. But it was fun.

There are some videos of the ride on YouTube before it closed down a few years back. Thankfully I got to have one last experience of it in 2014. Sad to see Disney replacing classic attractions such as this.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Another good podcast. Always fun listening to you guys, no need to worry so much, you're doing great with the shear range of podcast subjects, ideas and interviews. The rare times I don't listen to one is when the subject doesn't really interest me, but that's rare.

Learnt a few new factoids, wasn't expecting that so thanks. And don't you be slacking of Hicks, you gotta think of something good for the 100th podcast... :P
