Aliens is the Best Sequel That's Barely Like the Original

1986's Aliens blasted its way into theaters and began its quick ascent to the top of everybody's "best sequels ever" lists. But the wild thing is, Aliens almost didn't happen thanks to Hollywood's famous accounting skills. Clint, Cal, and Nick talk about Sigourney Weaver's legacy on the cutting edge of mid-80s action stardom, the Pinewood Studios crew's daily tea time walk-outs, and James Cameron's superpower for knowing the limits of what to show on screen and for how long.
