Greetings programs! This week on the show, we're talking about two movies with deep connections to older films we love. First up is Twisters, Lee Isaac Chung's sequel to the 1990s classic that Matthew adores, and then Alien: Romulus, the Fede Álvarez-directed mid-quel film that takes place immediately between the two classic films Alien and Aliens.
