I was heartened to hear your podcast; most of the reviews for Romulus were pretty good but I was grossly disappointed. I am an Alien-phile and this movie was NOT an homage-it was a ripoff, a clone, a copy. Entire scenes and dialogue were lifted whole cloth from prior films. If there was an interesting story, a new story, interesting characters, maybe it wouldn't have disappointed me so much.

Sadly ALIEN 3 is bad. I just rewatched it a few days ago. Still bad!
