When Ridley Scott goes to space, we follow. That's just the rule of our podcast. If you're a longtime listener, a friend of the show, or just someone who's walked past us on the street, you can probably tell how important ALIEN is to our friendship. And this is as close as we're going to get to talking about our beloved Xenomorph in this space series. The question is, though, you can take the Xenomorph out of the Ridley Scott space movie, but can you take the space movie out of the Xenomorph? Actually, that doesn't make any sense.
