Alien 3 (1992) feat. Sade Sellers

<p>Our month of 3s comes to a close with David Fincher's <em>Alien 3 </em>(1992), which may take the prize for most convoluted production history. Here to help us make sense of the Assembly Cut (<strong>not</strong> the theatrical cut) is returning guest Sade Sellers (see previous episode <em>Orphan</em>), who has issues with the film's treatment of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and sexual assault (content warning!)</p><p>Plus: our secret connections to the number three, the xenomorph as drag queen, the differences between the theatrical and assembly cuts and Charles S. Dutton as a sacrificial lamb. Also: Joe's love of Charles Dance, confusion over "womb stuff" and why Fincher needs to get over his hatred of his directorial debut.</p><p>References:</p><ul><li>Anat Zanger. <em>Film Remakes as Ritual and Disguise: From Carmen to Ripley</em></li><li>Scott Tafoya.
