[[:encoded, "Hello and welcome to another episode of Now Showing, the podcast where I take a single film and review it without all the other bells and whistles of our normal show. For this episode I review the not-really-a-sequel-to-Prometheus but not-really-a-prequel-to-Alien film Alien: Covenant. There is a lot to go over in this one so be sure to hear what I have to say in the spoiler-free section but make sure to stick around for the spoilers if you have already seen it for some extra insight into what is likely going to be one of the more divided film experiences of the year. Join me as I give you know my thoughts on the new film."]]
