From the Vault – In Defence of Alien 3

Sideshow Sound Theatre

**Original Air Date – May 17, 2017**

As we continue our tribute to our friend Ian Crabb, please enjoy his favourite episode of IDO – Alien 3. This episode represented much of what Ian hoped IDO would be – a film that was much maligned being defended vigorously by those who loved it, and Ian LOVED Alien 3. It was also a thrill for him to podcast with Erik Woods of Cinematic Sound Radio fame, who absolutely brought it as well. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 7 years since this one, and we certainly hope you enjoy it.

ORIGINAL POST:

In the latest episode of In Defence Of, host Ian Crabb is joined by his band of inmates, the fearless leader, out of the airlock, Will ‘Ripley’ Dodson, the enigma of space, Andrew ‘Xenomorph’ Steele, the wild, unpredictable, Mr. Todd Horan, and the welcome return of the podfather himself, Erik Woods.

In episode 11 of IDO, the team defend the 1992 sequel Alien 3 and it’s incredible score by composer Elliot Goldenthal! Is it that bad? Does it deserve the vitriol? Is hindsight a friend to this film? Listen and find out!
