Anticipation was high back in 2012 when director Ridley Scott returned to the “Alien” franchise with “Prometheus.” Despite a largely mixed response from audiences and critics, the 79-year-old Scott finds himself back aboard a doomed spacecraft with ALIEN: COVENANT. The return of the xenomorphs to the big screen is also the inspiration for this week’s Top 5: Alien Attacks. That Top 5, a review of ALIEN: COVENANT and more on this week’s show.
