Have you ever wondered how the xenomorph from the original "Alien" could still be lurking around? Join us, Alex McCauley and Max Fosberg, as we welcome special guest Derek Schneider for an electrifying breakdown of "Alien Romulus." We share our unfiltered excitement for this new addition helmed by Fede Alvarez, reminisce about the mixed emotions surrounding "Alien: Covenant," and express our hopes for this latest chapter in the franchise. Along with dissecting the film, we also recount some personal highlights such as attending a wedding and local film festivals, and we can't wait to share details about our upcoming live event.
Our conversation spans from the movie's box office triumph to the various theater formats Derek experienced, each offering unique insights into the film's visuals. Together, we explore the 70s-inspired aesthetic and how it pays homage to the original "Alien," while also delving into intriguing theories about xenomorph continuity. Did the alien really survive for 20 years by cocooning into an asteroid? We present compelling evidence and debate the implications for the broader Alien universe. We also shine a light on standout performances, especially those by Kaylee Spainy and David Johnson, whose dynamic interactions bring emotional depth to the storyline.
Of course, no discussion about the Alien franchise would be complete without addressing its thematic layers and iconic moments. We examine the symbolism in "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant," and how these elements continue to evolve in "Alien Romulus." From the visceral thrill of facehugger chases to nostalgic nods to past films, we critique and celebrate each entry's unique contributions. We also rank the films, sparking passionate debates and reflecting on the franchise's legacy. This episode is a must-listen for any Alien fan, blending nostalgia with fresh insights and leaving you eager for what's next in the saga.
