Don't forget to rate & review the podcast!---ALIEN: ROMULUS feels like a self-proclaimed victory lap for the almost-50-year-old franchise, blending elements from each movie (the greatest hits, some might say) to make an installment to please every ALIEN fan.From the COVENANT cultists to the ALIEN 3 truthers, there's a piece here for you. However, I'm not sure this movie is built to withstand so many ideas and callbacks. I find it works better as a low-scope, character-driven haunted house set in space. Keep it simple, stupid.At least David Jonsson (RYE LANE) gets another chance to show us all his range and capabilities. It's a true gift of a shifty performance that, if we're not careful, could start sneaking him into dark horse Supporting Actor territory...---Follow The Movies on Instagram & LetterboxdFinancially support the podcast via the tip jar!
