Sci-fi author Alex White (they/them) joins us to discuss the state of the Alien franchise: they would know, having written two of the best novels in the Alien universe! We get into Ridley Scott’s death grip over the direction of the franchise, the frustrating politics of queer visibility, and ask, just what WAS Burke’s plan in Aliens? 

Find Alex’s latest: August Kitko And The Mechas from Space, at your local indie bookshop for your queer apocalyptic mecha fix!
