    298 // ALIEN 3 | The Dream Theory

    In this episode, Patrick, Jaime, Perry, Andie and Micah discuss the "dream theory" that's surrounded Alien 3 since it's storied release in 1992. Why does this theory exist? What's behind it? We all try to answer these questions in our own way as re-engage a film that continues to be fiercely controversial while also gathering more support as each year passes. As with so many of our conversations, this was a spirited panel, and we hope you enjoy.

    297 // What's Happening With Alien: Romulus 2?

    In a shocking late-2025 announcement, we learned Fede Alvarez wouldn't be returning as director for the sequel to Alien: Romulus. Months later, we still don't know why—and we still have no idea who'll be directing in his place! On tonight's roundtable, the team spitballs about some scenarios. Should the story continue Rain and Andy's narrative? Who should direct it? What kind of tone should they aim for, and what do they need to get right to ensure it happens? Join us as we have some fun gathering together for some speculation! Tonight's episode also features our two newest team members: Mario Benvenuto and Kyle June! // Join the new Perfect Organism subreddit!

    296 // What Makes An Alien Film An ALIEN Film? Part Two

    The Perfect Organism Podcast strategy team in conversation about what truly makes ALIEN Alien. Building on the foundation Patrick and Jaime laid in part one, the team digs deeper into the thematic architecture of the series, why these ideas continue to resonate across generations, and what may be essential for Alien to evolve while remaining true to its core identity. As always, thank you for listening, for thinking deeply alongside us, and for your continued support. It genuinely means everything. // Join the new Perfect Organism subreddit!

    295 // What Makes an Alien Film an Alien Film? Part One

    A phrase we often throw around is "This (movie, TV show, book) feels like Alien." But what does that actually mean? In today's episode, Jaime and Patrick attempt to figure that out. We will return to this conversation in the new year, so please send us your thoughts in the meantime!

    292 // What ALIEN Means to You | A Roundtable

    In this episode, the Perfect Organism team unites to explore what the Alien series truly means to each of them. From Patrick’s fascination with the creature itself to Andie’s devotion to character, no corner of the franchise, or the human heart behind it, is left unexplored. Joining the crew is patron and returning guest Mario Benvenuto, who inspired this episode’s theme. Together, Patrick, Perry, Andie, Holden, Mario, and contributing host Micah Greene dive deep into their enduring love for Alien, and what keeps them coming back, again and again. // Join the new Perfect Organism subreddit, while you're at it!

    291 // The Inside Story of Alien: Earth, From the People Who Made It

    One of the great thrills of covering Alien: Earth's release was getting to speak with so many people involved with the show. We aired many of these interviews throughout the season as part of our aftershow, but we had to leave almost two hours' worth on the cutting room floor for the sake of brevity. Presented here, for the first time as a single, cohesive audio documentary, are interviews with twenty-one of the key creatives who brought Alien: Earth to life. In approximate order of appearance, you'll hear: Jeff Russo (Composer) Maggie Phillips (Music Supervisor) David Rysdahl ("Arthur") Babou Ceesay ("Morrow") Richa Moorjani ("Zaveri") Sandra Yi Sencindiver ("Yutani") Kit Young ("Tootles") Ugla Hauksdóttir (Director of Episodes 4 and 6) Samuel Blenkin ("Boy Kavalier") Alex Lawthor ("Hermit") Lily Newmark ("Nibs") Jonathan Ajayi ("Smee") Adarsh Gourav ("Slightly") Dana Gonzalez (Director of Episodes 2, 3, 7, and 8; DP; EP) Steve Painter (Lead Prosthetics Supervisor) Wētā Workshop's Joe Dunckley and Vaughan Flanagan Cameron Brown (Creature Suit Performer) Andy Nicholson (Production Designer) Erana James ("Curly") Noah Hawley (Creator; Director of 1 and 5; Writer, EP) A handful of the actors came back at multiple points throughout the season, so you will get to hear from them at various points as well! We are hugely grateful to FX for helping facilitate all of these. Alien: Earth is now a piece of Alien history; having this sort of access in real time as it released was an unprecedented treat for us, and we're so happy we've been able to take all of YOU along on this journey with us! // Join the new Perfect Organism subreddit, while you're at it!
