The Film ‘89 Podcast Episode 121 – Alien: Romulus (2024).
On Episode 121 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Skye is joined by returning guest host, filmmaker Martin Kessler, to give you their in-depth and spoiler-filled review of director Fede Alvarez’s new film, Alien: Romulus, the seventh film in the saga that began 45 years ago with Ridley Scott’s seminal Alien. Following Scott’s two most recent films in the franchise, pseudo-prequel Prometheus (2012) and it’s follow up, Alien: Covenant (2017), Alvarez’s film is set 20 years after Alien but 37 years before James Cameron’s Aliens to tell an isolated story of a crew of young Weyland Yutani mining colony workers who end up going head to head with the deadly creatures on an abandoned space station. Will Alvarez’s film breathe new life into a franchise that some feel was choked by Scott’s previous two films’ over-intellectualisation of the series, or will it just give fans a force-fed meal of Alien related best-of moments?
