This week’s episode delivered big ideas, horror vibes, and a creature crossover that no one asked for—but everyone needed. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, featuring a standout question: who would we want to direct a Star Wars movie, and during what timeline? Matt and Nick had very different picks with totally opposite directing styles, which led to a great debate.
Matt then reviewed the new horror film Weapons from Zack Cregger. He found it to be well-made and tense, though maybe a bit overhyped compared to the buzz from fans and critics.
Next came our deep dive into the first two episodes of Alien Earth (Neverland and Mr. October). We were impressed with the tone, storytelling, and pacing. However, we also called out a few continuity issues when compared to Prometheusand Alien: Covenant.
Things got chaotic when we entered crossover territory, pairing Star Wars creatures like the Rancor and Acklay against Xenomorphs. Could Force users tame them? Which galaxy has deadlier predators?
We wrapped with fan creature matchups and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan art picks of the week. This one had it all.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
