The one where we review Alien: Romulus

The Flixters

Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast!

It’s been 45 years since Ridley Scott’s Alien terrorised audiences from the depth of outer space. In the intervening years we’d had sequels, prequels, spinoffs and now, in 2024, an interquel of sorts.

Fede Alverez, (Don’t Breathe) brings us another entry into the Alien franchise with Alien: Romulus. Set 27 years after the events of Alien, and before James Cameron’s classic, Aliens, this latest installment sees a group of miners discover an abandoned space station floating in space. Seeing it as a ticket off their planet, the group explore and encounter more than they bargain for.

In typical Alien franchise manner, the bodies begin to rack up!

On Anniversary Corner we look back at the disaster movie Alien (1979).

If that’s not enough for you, we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming.

Thank you for supporting us and we hope you enjoy the show!
