Long time fans of the Alien franchise Nutty and Tek were excited to pick up this movie and give it a go. Unlike many geeks, they also loved Prometheus, so their opinions might not be the same as yours. That said the critics are also wrong about the Netflix series Bright, and a host of other movies. So give it a listen and even if you hated the movie, hopefully you will enjoy their analysis.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Nah we forgot he was on before, Dog Days and Ice Bucket Challenge, dang we suck and this memory thing, must be getting old or something.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can now support Nutty Bites by donating to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/nuchtchas\">Patreon campaign<\/a>, through\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?token=QLifAGrcPzjxGpfL_orgMjqWAASL_ck59dFYNtQgpf7gyApIc0Dk7hEdRywK5Z9a8LmhBW&amp;country.x=US&amp;locale.x=US\">paypal<\/a>\u00a0or venmo (<a href=\"javascript:secureDecryptAndNavigate('CcWk5t0njlITt4CQ3aTcgXAhFoZGnkyiFKj8Ihjkv2czEeII94aUw5iKPC\/ZjMFUy1DLplfvLLHDrgOhRvNwh1iuuHRYwkJBy+8=', 'b4204561c5499b145aed99f96740fd4c5d7c4f723b0e4284a749b529c0c0a992')\"><img src=\"http:\/\/nimlas.org\/blog\/b0de15cf6265c468cadab1ee96b84f56\/&#110;&#117;c&#104;t&#99;&#104;&#97;s&#64;g&#109;&#97;&#105;l&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;\" class=\"cryptxImage cryptxImage_0\" alt=\"&#110;uch&#116;ch&#97;s&#64;&#103;m&#97;&#105;&#108;&#46;&#99;&#111;m\" title=\"nu&#99;&#104;&#116;&#99;&#104;&#97;&#115;&#64;gm&#97;&#105;l&#46;c&#111;&#109;\" \/><\/a>) or through any other method.
