On this episode of the podcast, we drift back to LV-426 with Ellen Ripley — a woman pulled from 57 years of silence into a colony turned nightmare. When a lone child survivor and a hive of xenomorphs collide with corporate greed and military bravado, Ripley trades trauma for steel and becomes an unlikely mother in a war against an impossible brood.

In a tight, cinematic retelling we explore survival, the corrosive push of corporate expedience, and the fierce, flawed tenderness that defines Ripley’s fight. Strap in for action, horror, and a human story at the heart of the alien swarm — then stay for a breakdown of themes, design, and the moments that made Aliens a sequel to remember.
