69. XENOMANIA Part VI: 'Alien: Covenant' w/Sarah Welch-Larson

Frankenstein's Podcast presents: XENOMANIA! - a series in which we take a deep dive into each entry into the Alien universe, one film at a time with special guests along the way.

This episode we’re making our way to the end (so far...!) of Ridely Scott's Alien prequel era Alien film series with his 2017 entry, Alien: Covenant.
