Prometheus (2012) & Alien: Covenant (2017) with Owen Ward

Double feature time! The trio is joined by their friend and resident Alien expert Owen Ward to shine a well-deserved light on Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel duology of Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017). They analyze the films’ muted receptions in an age of legacy sequels and prequels and what makes these movies such anomalous blockbusters before watching the films and discussing why these are two of the most remarkable and ambitious films of the century.
