## Resource

Episode 88: Alien: Romulus Shaking up the release schedule with Episode 88 of Philosophy in Film, the gang boards the hauntingly dark Alien: Romulus, the latest installment in the storied sci-fi horror franchise. Returning to the series' roots, this new chapter explores themes of survival, creation, and the horrifying unknown. Craig starts the countdown with Producer's Notes (6:54), setting the stage for Alain's Beauclair Synopsis (17:12), which pieces together the film's gripping narrative. Chris navigates the depths of terror and existential inquiry in Philosopher's Corner (43:35), while the Round Table Discussion (53:29) tackles the movie's tension, terror, and timeless reflections on humanity's fragility in the face of cosmic horror. The ship's log concludes with Reviews (1:37:01), breaking down the film's impact, and Mailbag (1:54:56), featuring your transmissions from deep space. As always, we delve into the philosophical and non-philosophical elements that made Alien: Romulus a spine-chilling voyage into the unknown. Featured Beer: Twenty Pounder Double IPA by Driftwood Brewery (Victoria, BC)
