The Great Derelict – Details, episodes & analysis

+++SPOILER WARNING REPEAT SPOILER WARNING+++
In a special bonus episode (read between the lines - Lee wanted to rant to someone other than his long suffering family) - Andy is joined by Darren and Lee to discuss the latest entry into the Alien franchise Alien: Romulus. 

Will it wash out the foul taste of Alien Covenant from their mouths or will it drive the franchise further into the depths of convoluted lore and nonsense that has plagued the series past few entries?

Who can say. you'll just have to take a listen I guess...

For those of you who do not want spoilers but would like a brief review, there is a spoiler free section for the first 17 mins of the cast and the spoiler section is clearly marked by the appearance of MU-TH-UR 9000 giving you ample time to get to minimum safe distance. 

Personally I'd advise you see the film first before listening.
