We often talk about how gorgeous the Alien films look. How lived-in they feel, how great the ship designs are, how iconic the creatures have become. But so much of what makes the Alien Saga special isn't visual at all: it's what they sound like.

In today's episode, Jaime, Patrick, Christian, and Adam chat with Lee Gilmore, Alien: Romulus' Supervising Sound Editor, about the huge honor—and challenge—of adding to that rich sonic history with this new film.

Wondering how they got the Corbelan IV to sound so real? How they managed to make the xenomorph's iconic scream feel more terrifying than ever? Join as as Lee takes us on a journey through the amazing sound design of Alien: Romulus.
