Veronica Cartwright

He is.

We should also mention Veronica Cartwright as Kathy, the kid.

Did you recognize her? I didn't.

I know.

Who's Veronica Cartwright? Oh, she has made a career out of being traumatized, like she is at the end of this film.

Oh, alien.

Alien.

Oh, brilliant.

Most recently, The Resident on CBS.

And I worked with Veronica Cartwright, who's an astounding actress.

So I was very proud of that particular episode.

I remember, I did like five Blue Bloods.

This ending with Donald Sutherland as Matthew.

as the sole survivor is just so heartbreaking because to see what happened between him and Brooke Adams where she succumbed to the invaders it was just heartbreaking and so when you get to the point where at the end of the film and Veronica Cartwright's character is alive and it's like oh my god she's alive and she sees Matthew and she's like oh my god you're alive kind of she's walking towards him and she calls out his name Matthew and he kind of looks at her and then Donald Sutherland gets this look on his face and points at her and lets out this screech that is so loud this alien screech and you realize he's been taken and it's like oh my god are you serious that sucks and she's just sitting there screaming no no and and it's just it's heartbreaking i mean basically signals the victory for the for the invaders like total global victory it's it's absolutely bleak but it's it's so well done like the way that it's shot it really sticks with you and of course part of that is also because the film itself is so good so you go in this ride and the end just it just kills you man okay top two this is it guys my number two i think is one of the best endings in horror movie history and seeing it in the theater it got all of us you could hear people in the crowd going what and we're just like are you serious it's just so great it's still so effective i'm gonna go with saw the original saw such a great film james wan nailed it And at the end of the film, when Dr. Gordon is making that choice.

You gotta get free, man.

You gotta cut your own foot off.

No, Lambert sucks.

I like Lambert because Veronica Cartwright was actually traumatized while making that movie.

No, I'm sorry.

Get out of the way.

Spaceballs, which I only understood after I watched Alien the first time.

I spent my entire childhood thinking that's just some guy with an alien in his chest.

Did you know that Veronica Cartwright, according to her, was originally cast as Ripley and was coming to set thinking she was playing Ripley and got fucking sidelined on her first day and was pissed

off.

right, yes.

There we go, Veronica Cartwright.

When she got splattered with the blood in the chest-bursting scene, she was totally unaware of that, so it was a genuine reaction, her screaming.

Yeah, that's right.

When I first bought this house and we walked up to the local little hood here, the little street, people go, Mr. Whipple lives in there.

And Veronica Cartwright was across the street from Lost in Space.

Like my buddy, I used to play hoops with a guy.

He did a shit one, one shit commercial.

So when I watched it when I was a kid, that movie, that scene was so fucking terrifying that... we kind of wore the tape out, rewinding and watching it back again because we couldn't figure out how they did it.

And so I know there's that story about, what is it, is it Veronica Cartwright in that? She plays the blonde woman in the first one where...

Is it an

alien? An alien.

[laughs] With no-

You know, for, w- what's most surprising is that it wasn't the Witches of Eastwick which got this treatment because that, to me, seems much more like a mo- a movie that Hollywood would be interested in trying to do again or do a legacy sequel with, you know, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer, Veronica Cartwright.
