Alien: Romulus (2024) with Sarah Welch-Larson (Becoming Alien)

Just like the Xenomorph who (somehow) survived the desolation of outer space, we are back. And this time, we’re going deep! The last episode on Fede Alvarez’s space thriller was just an appetizer. This is the full meal, as promised.Joining us to perform the Eye of the Duck treatment is franchise expert and author of BECOMING ALIEN, our old friend Sarah Welch-Larson. It’s time to answer once and for all: why does the Xenomorph gestation chrysalis have lips? Listen to find out.Next week, we’re kicking off our new series (!!) with the 1966 Leslie H. Martinson BATMAN.
