By the way...the coffee mug I'm holding is from Disneyland! It's got Yoda on the inside and it has that classic line "Judge me by my size do you?" Our good bud Kenny bought me and Joyce these mugs last time we were in Disney. THANKS KENNY!! :)

Oh, and the meatball the Alien is holding is actually.... :) Just kidding!! :) Thanks for including me on this one Bryan. And thanks for the chair once more Rico...

Good tag-team review guys.

Great show guys! Really enjoyed the discussion and you both continue to have a great dynamic.

[Rico]

Yes - fun show again guys.  One thing I thought you might touch on was the music.  One thing I'll always recall from when I first saw "Aliens" was how much James Horner used his "Khan" soundtrack for this movie too.  It worked - but with your eyes closed at certain parts I can't tell if I'm watching "Aliens" or "Wrath of Khan."  :)

Listen to this track - especially starting at about 1:45 into it.

Totally meant to bring that up. The back story os James Horner was really pressed for time to create the soundtrack as the film was so late getting locked in post edit. So with only days to get it together, he lifted a bit from previous work clearly and the TWOK elements are very noticeable.

[Rico]

Oh, James Horner is the copy & paste king of soundtracks.  Remember, he first lifted his Khan soundtrack for "Krull" before using it once again for "Aliens."  Still love the music anyway.  :)
