In this week's recap, the Alien returns, but that's not the only film where something deadly happens.

Aug 16, 2024

The thing about Alien - They never use breath mints.

People are screaming in space once again this weekend, and audiences should be lining up to see it. Alien: Romulus has arrived, and it brings a lot of horror with it. I have a review for the film and other features, including Blink Twice, a twisted little thriller that opens next week. Plus, enjoy our latest podcast episode covering Cuckoo and Borderlands, my guest spot on 2 Fast 2 Forever, and the latest episode of The Summer of 2004 at 20 (Alien vs. Predator this week, fittingly enough). So, feel free to check out all these reviews, podcasts, lists, trailers, and other fun. Enjoy, stay safe out there, and thanks for reading!
