"Alien: Covenant," "The Big Chill," "Game 6"

Grierson is in Cannes, but that will not stop him from his appointed podcast rounds. So he takes a break from his constant partying in France to ask Leitch about "Alien: Covenant," which Will thinks is a lot better than it is being given credit for. Then, in our Reboot segment, we tackled Lawrence Kasdan's smash 1983 hit "The Big Chill," which your parents (and our parents) have many thoughts about. And then we look at 2005's "Game 6," the one Don DeLillo screenplay on record and a film that's almost a dry run for "Birdman." Timestamps: 4:30 "Alien: Covenant" 20:55 "The Big Chill" 41:40 "Game 6" We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast. Opening Song: "Sigourney Weaver," The Smith Street Band Closing Song: "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft," "The Langley Schools Music Project"
