Welcome to another episode of Death Don’t Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! It’s November, so that means it’s time for our “Xenovember” series, where we cover movies involving otherworldly creatures! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss the divisive 1999 techo-alien nightmare on water, Virus! Splitting headaches! Amusingly-dated 90s computer tech! Flirty chess foreplay! Unconvincing use of nautical terminology! Convenient escape chutes! A fast paced opening! A scene that was possibly referenced in 2022’s Moonfall? FleshTech Borganisms! Casual reactions to horrible sights that would make Pinhead blush! An interesting (though occasionally miscast or uncommitted) cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin, an underused Cliff Curtis, the guy with Kuato growing out of him from Total Recall, a scene-stealing Sherman Augustus, and Donald Sutherland making one of the fastest greed-induced descents into madness you’ve ever seen! Impressive practical FX and animatronics, plus CGI overseen by the legendary Phil Tippett! A compelling argument against wireless technology with topical commentary on humans destroying the planet! All that and more in a film the lead actor claims is the worst movie ever made! In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on the new Canadian psychological thriller, Red Rooms, Gaspar Noé’s Climax, and Zoe Saldana’s new musical crime dramedy, Emilia Pérez!
