Alien: Romulus is out and conquering the box office. For months now, the Halloweenies have been anticipating this moment, covering every entry in the Alien franchise — from Ridley Scott’s 1979 original to his 2017 sequel Alien: Covenant. As promised, the gang has seen Fede Álvarez’s new film, and they’ve returned with their review.
Spanning nearly four hours, the much-anticipated episode discusses the road to Romulus, Álvarez’s beautiful and practical direction, the new crew, and all those great graphics. They also discuss the navel gazing nostalgia, the callbacks, and the resurrection of a very familiar face. Warning: This episode is a nest of spoilers, so proceed with caution.
