Welcome to Episode 2 of Phoenix Cinema Podcast Film Club where we discuss the sci-fi horror classic Alien (1979).

This is a beloved film and an all time classic for a reason. We dive into the impact this film made on genre films throughout the 80's, the incredible performance of the late Ian Holm (and a personal story from Chris about the time he met him), and why the hell someone would take a cat on board a spaceship with them.

We hope you enjoy!

Chris Austin is joined by his brother who is also the composer and editor of the podcast, Stefan Krieger, to discuss the eighth (and last?) movie in the long-running M:I franchise.

Suffice to say it did not go down well considering this is meant to be the final movie of what has been a mostly inconsistent film series.

But the disappointment of the movie resulted in a really fun conversation as we discuss what didn't work for us and why as well as what does work in this movie and the others in the Mission franchise.

But you can only listen once as the episode will self-destruct once you've finished it.

Chris Austin and Luke Parker are joined by French film composer Raphaelle Thibaut on the Phoenix Cinema Podcast to discuss her life and career, most notably the recent Disneynature documentary film, Sea Lions Of The Galapagos, which is truly a stunning musical achievement.

Raphaelle was such a blast to talk to and we hope you enjoy this episode as we continue to talk to the best film composers currently working.

Sea Lions Of The Galapagos is available to watch now on Disney+.
