Alien: Romulus (2024) (feat. Generative AI CGI Jordan)

Franchises were a mistake... it's time to admit it. No matter how great the original film is, eventually the rights will be purchased by Disney and they will make slop. Will we eat the slop? Yes... because we are pigs. But will we like it? Disney and Weyland-Yutani are not concerned with the answer to that question.

We're back with the latest and (as of this publishing) last entry in the Alien series ALIEN: ROMULUS. Ben and Alex are joined by Generative AI CGI Jordan to help them along their journey. All our chips were on this movie... did it pay off? Or were the boys fooled by the marketing department again? Listen and find out!

We also talk about Alex and Ben’s Wacky Movie Weekend where went to the theatre together to a bunch of films. ALIEN: ROMULUS talk starts around the 40 minute mark.

Next week we'll be doing the very stupid and not particularly relevant series 300! Friend of the pod and past and future guest Katherine Vienneau joins us to talk Zack Snyder's original.
