A quieter episode, but filled with fascinating angles to think about and explore, entertaining character dynamics, and most of all, rising tension on all fronts. This thing is clearly headed towards a major clusterf&@ck... Kara and Jason are happy to be joined this ep by Alien aficionado Archmaester Renny!

The wait is over — Alien: Earth has landed, and Noah Hawley’s first two episodes deliver everything we hoped for: suspense, grotesque alien terrors, strange new lifeforms, and a sharp look at how unchecked corporate ambition could shape our future — in a series that (at least so far) feels both classic and brand new. Join Jason, Randy, and Kara as we dig into “Neverland” and “Mr. October.”

We can’t lie, we’re excited for Pluribus, the upcoming series created by Breaking Bad showrunner Vince Gilligan. I (Jason) am equally thrilled to be covering that on this podcast after Alien: Earth, with my former Walking Dead ‘Cast co-host of 10 years, Karen! Happiness is contagious.
Join us in this quick episode for a rundown on everything we know so far about this series, plus some speculation on what it’s going to be about.

So much fun to revisit one of the most classic sci-fi action movies ever. We’re starting to think these creatures might be dangerous, btw. Join Randy and Jason for some in-depth appreciation before we move on to the new stuff!
