Episode 54: Breaking The Covenant

JM is joined by the esteemed William Robbie, founder and captain of The Weyland Yutani Bulletin, the largest and most active ALIEN-specific group on social media.

Warning, if you like or love ALIEN: Covenant, you might not want to listen to this. If you choose to listen, we hope that you can do so objectively. These are the opinions of two people, and they're strong ones. Enjoy.
