This week, Jon joins me to take on one of the biggest sci-fi horror franchises of all time: Alien. We’re ranking every movie from worst to best, and the conversation goes exactly the way you’d expect when two fans have strong opinions and no referee.
We dig into the franchise highs, the frustrating lows, the lore threads that never pay off, and the scenes we still talk about decades later. If you love Alien, this episode is for you. If you hate Alien… this episode is definitely for you.
New review drops Wednesday: Queens of the Dead Followed by our next theatrical release on Friday.
The Fear is Family.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
