Next week we'll be reviewing Alien: Covenant, and with that we wanted to take a trip back in time to Ridley Scott's pseudo-prequel to Alien with Prometheus. Neither myself nor Justin were huge fans of this film, and although there are things to love about it, the whole thing is just a really pretty, shiny-looking turd.
If you're planning to join us on the air for the #LivestreamForTheCure, you'll need to create an account and join our Discord server... the link to it is here: https://discord.gg/3QJtBfU.
