Fifteen years after Alien: Resurrection, the Alien franchise enters a new era as directors Ridley Scott and Fede Álvarez try their best to reignite interest into the classic horror franchise. What do you call a prequel/interquel that is basically trying to reboot a franchise? Well we like to call them...rebootquels! It's time to talk about THE ALIEN REBOOTQUELS.
Logan and Andy head back into space to discuss the trilogy that covers the last twelve years of Alien cinema: 2012's Prometheus, 2017's Alien: Covenant, and 2024's Alien: Romulus. How does Scott's return to the franchise differ from his iconic 1979 film? What makes Covenant a "soft reboot" even though it's heavily tied to Prometheus? How will the man behind Don't Breathe and the Evil Dead remake bring his style to this complicated franchise? Find out on this new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
