It’s time for the hosts to talk about the prequel to that beloved classic, Aliens Vs. Predator 2, the original 1979 film Alien, directed by Ridley Scott.
Let’s join Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van for a gut-busting chest-bursting good time!
Learning nothing from the film they recklessly open strange eggs from the planet Germany, and drink a substance resembling android blood called a Piña Colada.
Want to make a Piña Colada? Here’s how…
Learn which of the hosts got scared by a toaster and watched this film from the kitchen.
They also come up with the tribute drink The Jonesy AKA In Space No One Can Hear Egg Cream. Want to make it?
- Take half a can of frozen concentrated orange juice
- Add 1/4 cup sugar
- Add 1 1/2 cups milk
- Add 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Blend and slowly add 12 ice cubes
- While blending add one raw egg
These are safe in Canada, but please check before adding one if your country isn’t Canada. And if it’s not, please
come to Canada one day and enjoy this drink. (Here’s more info on eggs in Canada.)
The producer’s wife thought this drink was refreshing and was better than a the Orange Julius at a local mall.
If you make a Piña Colada or The Jonesy AKA In Space No One Can Hear Egg Cream or make up one of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

I also saw Aliens before I saw Alien since I was too young to see the first movie when it came out. But I remember a guy in my high school Stagecraft class who had a book about the art of Alien. That was my first exposure to the creepy look of the movie and to the world of sci-fi nerds who were so passionate about a film that they’d buy a book just about its design.
