From Howard Margolin:

Last week, Alien: Romulus opened in theaters, reviving the 45-year-old franchise with its first entry in 7 years.

This week, the Destinies Film Review Team assembles to discuss the movie. Tune in Friday night at 11:15 PM, and find out whether this new entry breaks through like a chestburster, or if it's just another alien dog. Does the film break new ground within the series, or is it just an Alien version of "The Force Awakens?"

Are the characters compelling, or are they just ciphers whose fates end up meaning nothing but excuses for gore?

Who were the standouts in the cast? How did the re-creation of the likeness of actor Ian Holm come across? And, what is this film worth on the famous Destinies zero to $9.50 rating scale?

Find out when hosts Howard Margolin, Timothy Gillespie, and Justin Paul review Alien: Romulus.

From Howard Margolin:

This week, Destinies presents a 73-year slipback on the Destinies Radio Theater.

Tune in Friday night, and travel to "The Veldt," as originally aired on the August 9th, 1951 episode of "Dimension X."

In this adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic short story, "In a totally automatic house, there's a totally automatic nursery, with a pack of real lions. The kids' playroom is nothing to fool around about." Hear this tale of one of the earliest examples of virtual reality, and what was probably the inspiration for Star Trek: The Next Generation's holodeck, which almost always led to the ship's being in danger.
