00:58should have seen it it's something that he needs to know that things could like that could happen in
01:03life it's chuck the freak of the 1970s that could be a true story that's right based on you know
01:12science or science we never know what's going on on the outside of the world you nailed it

01:40things like because we're we like horror movies horror buffs i guess would you recommend to your
01:46little friends who are your age to go see it uh no i wouldn't yeah no no that kid went on to be a
01:53serial killer yeah who knows what that guy got up to i can't remember how old i was when i finally saw
01:59like an alien movie um but i they scared the crap out of me it's a scary movie you know there's a lot of
02:07uh just chest bursting and yes because i don't think i saw the first one i was obviously
02:14very young when that one came out but like that second one with uh bill paxton in it or whatever
02:21i watched it and i just remember being like those things are the scariest aliens i've ever seen in
02:28my life i saw that one too young and i had to sleep with the light on for like a month yeah i was way
02:32too young for that yeah that dad took the craziest stance on the movie alien i've ever heard
02:36you really did happen he needs to be prepared in case a parasitic alien comes down to earth and
02:46infects him that's why i bought him some kind of laser powered machine gun are you sorry sir that
02:52you brought your son along to see alien no ma'am i think he should have seen it it's something that
02:57he needs to know that things could like that could happen in life it could be a true story
03:02based on you know science or science we never know what's going on on the outside of the world
03:08did the movie scare you at all yes ma'am it did
03:12i love if you don't understand something to say based on science yeah i mean he's trying science

03:42his dad showed him and was like this could happen terminator right yeah oh man tonight we're gonna
03:48watch arachnophobia it's funny i don't think either our parents just had no clue what we were
03:53watching no or they just didn't take it as seriously those r-rated and you know movies and stuff
03:59back then because i saw all sorts of stuff there was cable too it was cable you could just you were
04:03free to watch whatever yeah it wasn't parental controls no i remember they just let me loose
