  Pack your bags, and make sure you dress warmly because we will be on the ice this week in both Canada and Russia.

We welcome back Renzo who curated this month along with Marco. Week 1's focus is on hockey and more specifically the Cold War, sport as a reflection of ethos, fences and neighbors, sport as an expression of national greatness, and befriending your enemies. All of that jam packed into an hour and a half. We hope you enjoy.

  Alien Franchise, Week 5 - Alien3 (1992), and Alien Resurrection (1997)

  Sep 4, 20262h 2m

  Episode 151 - This week we put a big fat drippy wet 90's industrial bow on the Alien Franchise with the final two films following in chronological order of when they are set. By that timeline it means we are ending with Alien3 (1992) and Alien Resurrection (1997). There were a lot of hot takes coming from all angles. Marco may or may not have been broken after mistakenly watching the Assembly Cut of Alien3.. But we all had a blast so tune in for the fun. And Marco's battery will surely be recharged as he cohosts next month with his brother Renzo. Next month's title is "War Sports,: On Invasion Games and Politic by Other Means" and the month will be willed with sports documentaries and countries at war. If you want to know more about what that entails you're going to have to tune in. Also don't forget to take the poll. Vote for QQ or Caifu as Top Cat. You can also email your vote and other inquiries to mracfilmclub@gmail.com

  Alien Franchise, Week 4 - Aliens (1986) with Raghoul

  Aug 29, 20262h 1m

  Episode 150 - It's our 150th episode! and once again in classic MRAC fashion we forgot to mention it, even though someone made a note of it to mention. Well nonetheless it was an epic conversation for another epic episode with an epic special guest. This week we welcome back friend of the pod Raghoul from Headlong into Monsters to discuss one of the best sequels ever made: Aliens (1986) directed by the great James Cameron. While not all of us agree on the level of its greatness, Raul more than makes up for it by bringing the much derived love to this installment in the franchise. Tune in for this, and tune in next week as we wrap up the month with Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection. And don't forget to vote below in the poll for QQ or Caifu to get entered in our contest. You can also email your vote to mracfilmclub@gmail.com and check out Raul at Headlong into Monsters, and Metalwork and Monsters on social media.
