The Endless Xenomorph Summer with Sarah Welch Larson (Becoming Alien)

This week we bid farewell to our son (the Xenomorph) with Sarah Welch Larson, author of "Becoming Alien: The Beginning and End of Evil in Science Fiction's Most Idiosyncratic Film Franchise." This is a podcast about movies, and the scenes that make them special. Usually on our show, we explore a film we love, a new release, or ask our guests to bring a movie they can’t wait to talk about. But this week, and throughout the summer, we’re devoting our show to 20th Century Fox’s Alien Franchise.
