Alien: Covenant (2017)

All our chips were on ALIEN: COVENANT baby, it's all on red, it's in gods hands now... so did it pay off? Well yes and no. Ben and Alex agree: it's a step up from PROMETHEUS and Ridley's gothic horror haunted house double android surprise is awfully good fun. What a strange franchise... we've had fun though haven't we folks.

During the Weekly Movie Roundup™, Alex and Ben talk about some great films like SMOOTH TALK, ODDITY, THE CIVIL DEAD, END OF EVANGELION, and THE EMPEROR'S NAKED ARMY MARCHES ON. There's also an extended discussion on the strange and highly sus world of pedophile hunters. We talk about the film around the 50 minute mark.

Join us next week for the final film in our Alien series: ALIEN ROMULUS... all our chips are on ALIEN ROMULUS and apparently it fucking sucks what do we do oh god my family needs to eat and I blew everything betting on this dumb movie franchise oh god oh man oh god oh man...
