The Alien franchise’s five-decade journey has crossed genres, intersected the careers of preeminent filmmakers and wavered wildly from classic to culty to catastrophic. With the recent release of the disturbing and philosophical “Alien: Covenant,” we set out to reappraise all the chest-bursting and face-hugging in Part One of our franchise retrospective: 2:02 - Noah and Chance give some franchise background, and Noah wonders why “Covenant” is two movies. 14:15 - Vulture’s Kevin Lincoln joins the show to discuss what contemporary franchises can learn from the villainous android David.29:10 - Chance stands up for the headiness of “Covenant” and Noah makes a superb “Frasier” comparison.38:00 - The New Republic’s Josephine Livingstone stops by to assess the role of androids in the franchise and their centrality to the new film.54:10 - Your hosts try to identify if there’s anything wrong at all with 1979’s “Alien.”1:04:20 - A disagreement ensues about whether “Aliens” deserves classic status like its predecessor.

The Alien Franchise: Part One (feat. Kevin Lincoln & Josephine Livingstone) | Episode 62

Don't be late to class while listening to this episode with Kevin Lincoln (NY Times, GQ, New York Magazine). Kevin went to the all boys Jesuit Catholic school, Fairfield College Prepatory School. Being a runner and the "Alt" kid, Kevin easily transitioned social groups and claims that he was a little bit of a "douchebag" and definitely not "uncool". Tune in for all the deets about Kevin's favorite teacher, what movie his high school experience resembles the most, and what "posterizing" is. Take notes, there WILL be a pop quiz.
