Matinee Heroes is a podcast dedicated to exploring hero cinema – from adventurers, heroes, and superheroes; from Jedi to buddy cops; from the Wild West, to the distant past, to futures both hopeful and dystopian, from ancient lands to the deepest reaches of outer space. In a time when we need heroes more than ever, Alan, Elisabeth and Craig will try to understand just what makes our cinematic heroes tick, and how we can use that heroism in our everyday life.
ALIEN NATION
In Los Angeles, three years after an alien ship comes to Earth, humans and extraterrestrial newcomers live side by side in a city divided by fear, prejudice, and violence. When a human police detective is assigned a newcomer partner, they must learn to work together while investigating a dangerous drug ring spreading through the alien community. As the case deepens, their uneasy partnership becomes the key to exposing a larger threat.
Craig, Elisabeth and Alan talk about concepts vs execution, physical media, sour milk addiction and the movie “Alien Nation” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
