On this month’s We ❤️ Movies, which also happens to be the season 16 premiere of the show, we’re chatting about one of the most requested titles in WLM history, James Cameron’s Aliens! Should Fox have let Cameron leave in that extra 20 minutes? Would this franchise have continued if Ripley were written out in the cold open of this movie? Has Lance Henriksen ever been better? And, hey, can we also volunteer to be cryogenically put to sleep for 57 years? PLUS: Congratulations to Jonesy, history’s oldest cat!
Aliens stars Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Henn, Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, William Hope, Jenette Goldstein, Al Matthews, Mark Rolston, Ricco Ross, Colette Hiller, Daniel Kash, Cynthia Dale Scott, Tip Tipping, Trevor Steedman, and Paul Reiser as Burke; directed by James Cameron.
