SR Ep. 9: Alien: Covenant

On this penultimate episode of Season 2 of ScreenRun, The Lady Wan and Chris are joined by David Rosen of the Piecing It Together Podcast to breakdown Ridley Scott’s first direct ‘Alien’ sequel. Yep, it’s ‘Alien Covenant’, the last film in the franchise (so far). So what happened to Shaw and David? Who are all these new folks? And can Scott recapture the magic of what is considered by many to be a truly classic horror/sci-fi film after all the ambiguity and philosophy of ‘Prometheus’?

SR Ep. 8: Prometheus

This week on ScreenRun, Chris is nowhere to be found, likely just cataloging all of his unwatched blu-rays, so The Lady Wan is joined by THE Megan Kearns of Spoilerpiece Theatre to discuss Ridley Scott’s grand (or botched?) return to the Alien franchise with ‘Prometheus’. Stunning visuals, sketchy dialogue, and a director who doesn’t care what you think. Is the franchise put back on track? Listen on to find out!

SR Ep. 10: Creature

Season 2 comes to a close with ‘Creature’ from 1985. Not an ‘Alien’ film for sure, but it certainly borrows a bit from the original classic. But does it deserve a reputation as a “cheap knockoff”? Or is there some magic up there in them hills? Or in this case, them there moons of Jupiter? Then your erstwhile hosts, The Lady Wan and Chris Scalzo wrap things up by revisiting their rankings, choosing a final best film of the franchise, and deciding who gave the best overall performance. There may not be a lot of surprises there, but there’s still a lot of fun!
