Hosted by Andrew Quinn, Darren Mooney and Jess Dunne, this week with special guest Billie Jean Doheny, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them.
This week, the Brothers Strause’s Alien vs. Predator: Requiem.
The peaceful community of Gunnison in Colorado finds its idyllic existence interrupted when a strange extraterrestrial vessel comes crashing to Earth in the woods at the edge of town. The unusual ship is carrying a dangerous cargo, but it also brings other outsid visitors to town. It turns out that there’s more than one sort of alien that the residents have to worry about.
At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best or worst movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
