It\u2019s a shame, because xenomorphs are basically money makers. The film has some solid performances and a gloriously grimy setting.   But alas, the film (both cuts) is a mess. The special effects are majorly downgraded from Aliens. The plot is full of more holes than a pair of old Weyland-Yutani panties. But they did manage to give Sigourney the noble death she wanted along with a suitcase full of money.   We keep fairly on topic this episode. Marc\u2019s hatred for the film simmers beneath, while Chad tries to conjure Kanye conjecture. It\u2019s a solid one.
