In this episode of This American Wife, we cover an exciting mix of TV politics, sci-fi, and pop culture. We start by revisiting the classic political drama The West Wing—is it still relevant in today's political climate, or has it become a relic of the past?

Then, we focus on Parks and Recreation and its satirical take on government and politics. How does it stack up to modern political shows? Finally, we wrap things up with a look at The Martian and how it continues to influence sci-fi fans and filmmakers alike.

We also offer a full review of Netflix’s Atlas starring Jennifer Lopez—did it live up to expectations?

Next, we dive into the future of a fan-favorite franchise with an in-depth look at the latest in Ridley Scott's space-set franchise. Where does it take place? How does it fit in the timeline? What does it mean for fans, and how does it connect to the saga's iconic legacy? We discuss why it is bad for some fans of the franchise, but good for most fans of jump scares. Plus, we give our thoughts on how it could have ended, and how it compares to the previous movies. Lastly, we consider the potential for Predators and Prey to return to this world, as the Xenomorphs are heading for our planet in Noah Hawley's upcoming show.
