Ep17 - Alien Covenant (2017)
from R Rating Movie Reviews · host Dan Tyler
In this episode, we descend into the nightmare of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant (2017) — a brutal, unsettling sequel that bridges Prometheus and the original Alien, while pushing the franchise into darker philosophical territory. We break down the film’s savage return to horror, the evolution of David as one of the most disturbing androids in sci-fi history, and how Covenant doubles down on themes of creation, control, and extinction. Is this the missing link the Alien saga needed, or a step too far away from what made the franchise iconic? From the terrifying Neomorphs to the controversial lore decisions, we unpack what Alien: Covenant gets right, what divided fans, and how it reframes the entire Alien timeline.
