NON-SPOILER REVIEW OF ALIEN: ROMULUS

2:00 - Development Backstory post Fox & Hulu + some creative viral marketing
4:50 - Strong reception numbers & early box office, yet some polarizing tweets & scores
7:37 - Our Theatrical Moviegoing Experience was a Mike, Dan, Mike & Alien Popcorn Bucket.
11:25 - Non Spoiler Script thoughts outlines many pros & cons, potholes, yet no plot holes
16:38 - Praiseworthy performances & characters that differentiate this from other Alien films

22:14 - In Space, No One Can Hear You Set A Scene: some high highs & low lows for the production values and the first of three Mike1 speeches on what makes this franchise great.

30:37 - SPOILER WARNING FOR OUR SPOILER FILLED REVIEW OF ALIEN: ROMULUS

31:24 - The Requiem, or why this film will be remembered has to be the ending, and Mike1 delivers his second big speech on what is otherwise working great in this film.

41:12 - The Most & Least Mike Like Moves pays homage to Dora The Explorer.

45:50 - The Game Over Man (where you knew a fatal error was made) is a segment that showcases Mike's third speech on how we’d never survive a horror movie.

48:06 - Themes we’d rather not dwell on, I mean we could, but we’re not gonna: invokes several good discussions on fan service and the tech of the film.

53:14 - Underrated Smart Moves includes praise for some great character work, expansions on the mythology, and a burning question about how they’ll handle the sequel, if there is one.

1:00:41 - Least Scary, Scary Moment re: facehuggers, but we have more praise for the writing
1:02:28 - Get Away From Them, You Bitch (or most goosebump inducing moments).
1:05:11 - Nagging Questions We Can’t Stop Thinking About
1:10:39 - Quantifying the Goo for Alien: Romulus might just be our masterpiece.
1:19:44 - Final Grades & Our Top Films of the Franchise
