Episode 19 – Author Eliot Schrefer joins us to talk about James Cameron’s 1986 action/ horror classic, Aliens, which is the sequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien from 1979. We get into themes of motherhood, survival, isolation, and kick-ass female action heroes, as well as how, as kids, we reacted to the grotesque images of body horror on screen, and then, how we asked questions about what, and who, is a monster.
Eliot is a two time finalist for the National Book Award for his great ape quartet, as well as an ALA Printz honor recipient for Queer Ducks (And Other Animals). His recent novels, The Darkness Outside Us and The Brightness Between Us, are available now. Find his many, many books now at your favorite local bookshop.
