Perfect Organism: The Alien Saga Podcast

Aliens is often cited as a sort of cinematic miracle: a sequel that lives up to (and, to some, even surpasses) the original; a film that takes chances with sacred source material and succeeds with hardcore fans; and an artistic statement that says important things about the human condition while still having loads of mass-audience appeal.

Will all that being said: could a film like Aliens be made in 2026? Join the PO Crew for a big ol' roundtable as they discuss!

In this episode, Patrick and Jaime discuss whether or not David Fincher's traumatic labor of love was ultimately a mistake or good for the franchise as a whole. We talk about the state of the IP in the shadow of Alien 3 and how it has affected every entry after it. This was a great discussion and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed talking about it.

In this episode, Jaime, Patrick and Andie are joined by friend and former contributing co-host Maj to talk about the incredible sound design featured in Aliens. From the opening of the Narcissus, to the clicking of Burke's plastic business card, we explore the sounds that make the film, some of the processes that went into producing those sounds and more.

This episode felt like a party for all involved. It became apparent that Alien is filled with as many feel-good sound effects as it is amazing characters and we dive into as many as we were able to.

We hope you enjoy.

Patrick, Jaime, Micah and Kyle get together to discuss everything that's been going on in with the ALIEN IP since the release of very successful, ALIEN: Romulus. From Fede Alvarez' departure to Ridley Scott's recent statements, we leave no stone unturned as we go through the order of events which began in late quarter, 2024. This was a great conversation full of speculation, frustration and at the end, some optimism for the future. We hope you enjoy!

Ross (DeadDark) and Jaime were invited by Creative Assembly to attend an Alien: Isolation 2 gameplay and panel via FrightFest this past Sunday in London. From hands on with Isolation 2's new character Blake, to speaking with a few of the devs from Creative Assembly, this was an immersive and fun experience that we can't wait to share with you.
