The Hive Minders are back to chat about the much-maligned fourth (and likely final) entry in the Ellen Ripley saga: Alien: Resurrection. Each of the crew chats a bit about some of the elements we enjoyed in the film, ranging from the characters, individual sequences, etc. Much of the discussion, however, is aimed at where we think this fourth film went wrong, and whether or not it was even a necessary addition to the franchise.
