In this week's episode, we discuss Alien 3, the career of David Fincher, the struggles that come with helming one's first studio film (we assume), and come up with a pair of companion films that may not spring immediately to mind - Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker and Andrew Dominik's Killing Them Softly. 

Thanks as always to our brilliant Sound Engineer Drew DeVore, and make sure to check out the following video essays for further insight into a film we're both quite fond of:
