If there’s one thing we know about the xenomorphs in the Alien films, it’s that they’re very, very good at reproducing themselves…
Join us this episode as we watch the new sci-fi horror picture Alien: Romulus and its 1979 sci-fi horror granddaddy, Alien, and ask ourselves: is it possible we might have watched the same film twice? Romulus may be filled with callbacks and fan service and easter eggs and horror tropes, but is there a thoughtful and effective film hiding beneath them? And although the original Alien is now revered as a classic, have any cracks emerged in its pristine shell in the intervening 45 years? Which film has the more sophisticated take on racism, corporate exploitation and bodily autonomy? And which film features a cameo from Jacob Rees-Mogg?
Plus we rewatch a Kevin Costner classic that is very different to how we remember it, we get a new sponsorship deal with an AI phone, we take a quick trip to Hungary, we try to think of a polite way to talk about something R rated, and we issue a disclaimer from the TRCC legal team…
