We've chuckled at him in Eastbound and Dawn, Vice Principals, Hot Rod and Pineapple Express – but this week, we see Danny McBride (for it is he) strike out on a serious note in Alien: Covenant. He talks to us about working with Ridley Scott, getting claustrophobic in a spacesuit, and his planned Halloween reboot.
Plus, we cover this week's movie news and reviews, and reflect on our favourite opening sequences, as a new host fills in for Chris and Helen.
