Atlas Shrugs, The Martian Survives and Xenomorphs Awaken: Reviewing Alien Romulus

In this episode of This American Wife, we cover an exciting mix of TV politics, sci-fi, and pop culture. We start by revisiting the classic political drama The West Wing-is it still relevant in today's political climate, or has it become a relic of the past?
Then, we turn our attention to Parks and Recreation and its satirical take on government and politics. How does it stack up to modern political shows? Finally, we wrap things up with a look at The Martian and how it continues to influence sci-fi fans and filmmakers alike.
We also offer a full review of Netflix’s Atlas starring Jennifer Lopez-did it live up to expectations?
Next, we dive into the future of the Alien franchise with an in-depth look at the latest in Ridley Scott's space-set franchise Alien: Romulus. Where does it take place? How does it fit in the timeline? What does it mean for fans, and how does it connect to the saga's iconic legacy? We discuss why Alien: Romulus is bad for some fans of the franchise, but good for most fans of Alien scares. Plus, we give our thoughts on how it could have ended, and how it compares to Prometheus, Covenant, and Alien Resurrection. Lastly, we consider the potential for Predators and Prey to return to this world, as the Xenamorphs are heading for our planet in Noah Hawley's upcoming show Alien: Earth.
