The first episode of our Alien Arc in which we discuss the ideas and themes behind and which weave together Prometheus, Covenant, and Alien. Man's hubris as a result of his dominion of animal and nature is juxtaposed with an existential fear of losing that coveted position to... a perfect organism. Join Shaun and Sergio as they begin their deep dive into all things Xenomorph! A link to the mentioned LiveJournal post; our gratitude to Cavalorn for taking the time to write down his interesting theories. Also, check out the book Shaun mentioned - Becoming Alien: The Beginning and End of Evil in Science Fiction's Most Idiosyncratic Film Franchise by Sarah Welch-Larson.
