Alien Review By Kenneth Oelkers

I liked how Will, Matt, Jack, and Mike introduced their podcast with music and then switched over to a question on each of the members opinion on the film. Mike also does something I thought was a good idea where he gave the rotten tomatoes grade and compared it to his subjective opinion. They also compare the first film to the one they watched and all agree what they are talking about. Will also does a good job making connections to other movies like back to the future and ET. Everyone also talks around an even amount in the film. Similar to my groups podcast, this group seemed a little shaky in the beginning but they eventually do get comfortable and do an overall good job throughout the podcast.
Something this group could have done better is talk more about the characters in the film and the plot because the movie was never introduced they kind of jump right into it. In the first 5 minutes of the podcast, only one character was mentioned and there was no context around that character. Instead of talking about their opinions and the movie as a whole, this group could have went a little deeper into the movie more and talk about certain points that lead up to conflict or conclusion. They overall did a good job for a first podcast and there is definitely things this group will do better in the future.
