Speaker 1 (00:22):
Let me choose your character.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All right, all right, all right, Welcome back to the
geek Set podcast only podcasts that blend hip hop, coachure
and geek coaching together. I'm your boy, Duces, and this
is one of one with Douces, the place where I
speak with creators, curators and people that you should know.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And right now, very special, very special.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Episode because you know, if you any all my fans
and the people that have been listening to the podcast,
you guys know, I am an Alien fanatic. I love
the franchise so much, and I've been singing praise of
this show. But we have none other than Bibo se
say Aka Morrow, how are you doing, Bro?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm good, Bro, So nice to meet happening here. Man,
Thank you Man.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I appreciate it so much, man, I said, I've been
for the past three weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I've been singing your praises.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
This this School's praise because, like I said, I love
the Alien series and franchise so much. And what I
love about Alien Earth is that it pays so much
respect to the Og while also being new and breath
taking and you know, and and adding to the Lord
without taking away from it, right, And so I was like, ah, Man,
(01:40):
I like, I've been loving this series and everything about
it now knowing that you are such a yeah, and
knowing that you are such a film fanatic and everything
like that, and I know that you love horror as well.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Like, so you've told the story already about you got
the script, you set it on your table, you went
back and forth. But I want to know when you
got the call and they said you got the role?
What how did that feel?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Oh? Man? Brother?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Well, I talked to Noah. And then for a couple
of days, Oh, no, no, I had three days in
a flat and for those three days I couldn't leave.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I had arrived in Athens.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I was making a film out there, and I had
three days off and I was waiting to find out
if I had it. And I spoke to Noah in
that time, and then had waited a couple of days,
I couldn't leave the flat. I'd walk to the dining room,
then I'd walk to the kitchen. I think, oh, I've
already washed the dishes. Then I walked to the to
my room as I've already made the bed, and I
walked back to the line, sit down in the end,
I realized, oh my goodness, I'm in limbo. I can't
(02:44):
even function, And I thought, I'm preparing myself for the
very painful blow of learning that I'm not going to
be playing Moco.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So I'm sitting here bracing for the pain, waiting.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
So when they told me, oh man and calling my
wife up astor this to say hey, it's a yeah, yes,
like like there was at that moment that I got
off got by stuff together. I went outside and actually
saw Athenms and had a coffee and thought, ah, just
a sense of relief. And then ten minutes later, the
(03:15):
way of responsibility kicks in.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You think, I have to work.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's right now, now, now, I gotta bring this character
to life, and they said, you're knocking it out the party.
You know what I love about Morrow's character that that
what we're seeing on screen is that one his sense
of duty, right, you know, like even from back from
that first episode, you know, he was like, I'm going
to get them back. And you know, I know that
(03:40):
this show can paint you as the antagonist, but I
feel like there's a duality to the character because you
got like you gotta think, you know, I'm where where
we're at currently is an episode six that's the live right,
and so you know, you hear where they say, like,
you know, these these species they were they didn't come
here on their own. They were that they were not
trying to be here. They were brought here and they're
(04:01):
just being natural, right, and you being so you know,
dedicated to the to you know, to the company, You're like, no,
I live here, I'm going to get these back.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I'm invested you. I've been up here. The job is
the job.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And so I love that because it's like it's one
of those things where it's the antagonist.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Can you can see a side or you can be
against it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's the thing with the antagonist, though.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
An antagonist is just the opposite of a protagonist in
their world day out. The protagonist they're going forward, right,
And I love what you said earlier about these creatures.
They represent nature in the show, and nature's gonna do
what nature's gonna do, right, It's not negotiating with you
having conversations.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's just gonna do what it's gonna do. It's gonna
follow its nature.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Now, duty though, is a different thing, it's a different
beast all together.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Duty and loyalty. That's when you're learning, you're teaching.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yourself almost against your nature, to do things that you
might not do naturally, like to you know, hurt another
human being, right, just so you can get a goal
that seems to be for a greater good than maybe
what your own personal.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Goal might be.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So I think that's in the show things that represent
it differently. Moral represents duties and honor and purpose, and
a purpose is more personal to him.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I love that. I love that, and I think people
can relate to that.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yet it's almost like we know on some level, as
awful as it sounds, that if you don't have a purpose,
but what's the point. That's the point of view, right, right,
So if you see a character with such a player
of purpose, whereas other characters feel.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like maybe they're being innovative or maybe they're looking for this.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Look, if you see that, I can see how sometimes
people are like, oh man, I've had someone write to
me saying I have hated your character for four episodes,
almost as if like directed in me, and I'm going, okay,
I'm sorry, And then they've got and I just watched
that five and now I'm tiam more. I got your
wherever you're going, we're going. I'm like, okay, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
But you know that's but that's like the to me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I feel like, if you're going to be an antagonist,
you want those moments where people like sometimes they can't
you know, differentiate between the actor and the and the characters.
Like I tell the story before, but like I remember
my aunt the first time that she watched Training Day
and she was like, for like for like three months.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
She was off of Denzel.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
She was like, I do not like Denzel, And I
was like, han, see, that's that's just the character.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
But he played he read it, so Training Day, That's wow,
that's an OG movie man.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Right right right.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But you know I also love, like, you know, in
those intense moments, like when you have to like you know,
like whether it's a speech, whether it's you know, trying
to get your point across the way that you bring
out that intensity of Marrow, Like you know that elevator
scene between Marrow and kersh oh my god, like that
that was masterful because you can feel the tension.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know, you guys are both kind of like jockeying
for power, you.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Know, you know, doing a little jab called an old model,
you know your toys, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Just like, yo, this right, like you know what that means?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, absolute cinema, like I love the ba Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, yeah, I love that scene. I love doing that scene.
I love working with Tim's And he came in and
he's he's such a creative like person and he said
to me, hey, so I'm in there with my intense
moral energy, he said, you know, and he added a
little bit, a little drop of honey to the scene
with his thoughts. He said, look, it's just two guys,
you know. So it's two guys, your middle management on
(07:39):
your side and middle management on mine. You know, we're here.
And Noah had put this idea actually to my head originally,
but he said, it's the thing of you know, they
talking to each other about, well, what's it like over there,
what's it like being replaced? And of course he's got
all that extra edge because we are going to kill
each other maybe but maybe not right now, because this
is up a good place for it.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
When he said that, I just started laughing. I thought, oh,
this is beautiful. So even though we had that tension,
the knowledge that underneath it there's a.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Little bit of maybe respects. It's like, okay, you're carrying
your burden, I'm carrying mine. We get each other. It's okay,
we'll have about that.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Correctly, what we'll have our match man.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You know, right, exactly exactly right, right right.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
But that's the thing, you know, with a cast as
stacked as this, you know, this is like you know,
I tipped my hat to the writers and the director
you know, of the show, because with a cast as
stacked as it is, you can't get lost in trying
to give everybody enough screen time or tell their story
or really flesh out the characters. And I feel like
(08:45):
that there, you guys are as a team, you guys
are really capturing all of that, like we're able to
connect and understand where everybody is at, you know. But
also that's wonderful, man, you know, and that you want
to say, go ahead, go ahead, now you go. But
I was going to say, you know, and they really
just get us invested in the bigger story because you know,
(09:05):
with the five companies and just really just saying like, Okay,
now we know who all these characters are, we know
who we are rooting for or who we're trying to
whose stories we want to know. But now we got
to figure out what is really going on? What does
boy Genius really want?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
That's it, That's it, And I love that you said that,
because that's the point. Their writing is so efficient to swell.
I know, that's a very odd way to describe writing.
It's so efficient that you are able to capture like
an entire storyline in a sentence. So you know, when
Morrow says, you know a feral boy with a palsied
arm and you know, living on the streets, it's three lines,
(09:41):
it's not even three lines, it's one and a half lines,
and it just gives you an entire history right in
a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And they's that efficiency, and I think the cast.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
What I love about this cast, and I'm crazy about
literally everybody in it, is that every time somebody has
an opportunity to pull something out, they pull it out
and it says so much about them. And that's what
blew me away. I mean, you've seen six and Tootles
played by Kid Kit Young and in four, and you
(10:15):
know Four, when he's dealing with his character at the lab,
it is it at four. I'm biguing me up six
when you see what happens to him.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And even that little thing of oh no, I'll do it.
Just that little moment.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Shows you the child, shows you his desire to go
and do something outside the box. You know, Jonathan and
Giant Orders, the way that they interact with each other,
just it fills you with so much feeling and emotion
as you're watching it. I'm watching it as a fan man,
and I'm just you know, peeking out watching true.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And you know it's the also like with the mirroring,
you know, the theme of Peter Pan, right, that is
that was brilliant because you know, we as kids growing up,
we understand the story of Peter Pan in the Disney
Light and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
There's also that little bit of like, wait.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
A minute, what is really Peter Pan and the Lost
Boys and everything. So when you hear boy Gen is
telling the stories over and you kind of have like that,
you know that immunis of like Peter Pan, yes, he
wants you to stay young, but it's more of like
there's a controlling you know, you don't know why.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, So it's like, yeah, it's just like it's so
good how they tell that story.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
This show taught me how scary Peter Pan actually is,
and this boy that doesn't want anyone to grow up,
and what is growing up, Well, it's becoming more responsible,
but also becoming more morally responsible. So you have to
do the right thing at some point. But then again,
we've got a bunch of adults that are doing whatever
they want, you know, and in the midst of that
(11:47):
more trying to represent duty.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
It's saying, well, we have to do what we should do,
you know. So I think.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That's that's Noah explores that with this backdrop of corporations
and you know, in the modern world we live in
right now, we're asking questions as well, what what are
the corporations doing? Who's really in charge? Here's our govern
mental is it that super powerful? Billy and aretually in
there to be over They're like, what's really controlling things?
And we're in the midst of it trying to make
(12:12):
sense of that. So I think that exploration with sci
fi gives us a chance to do. It's what I
love so much about this show, you know, right right.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And so like it was there in the original, it
was there in the original.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You know they call the shares, yeah, closer, going, Hey,
I want to talk about my my Bonus.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Talking about Bonus, it's like, oh my goodness, what's new? Right?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Knowing that everything that you guys have got up of
the geek set as well, Man, it deserves the spotlight
to be highlighted for just the incredible work that you
guys put in that helps me inspire others to feel
comfortable in their own skin about being fans of the
things that they genuinely care about.
Speaker 2 (12:49):

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Grand, CEO of Remote TV, speaking with the Tavio Samuel
But we are speaking with the talented Gail Bean Gary
Anthony Williams.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
But I'm speaking with the one and only the Dean
Hardiest And how you doing?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Brothers?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Chop it up a few for forty five minutes and
now that's that's the easy part.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Hey, you have a really good voice for.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
This because I know that you you know, you talked
about being a kid on set, right, you know, you
have that first walkthrough and everybody just looking at it
like a museum and everything. But outside of the set,
like within this like what was the what was the
most shocking thing to you outside of the set like
(14:20):
about this project?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Talking who don't use the word shocking. I would say
the thing that really got me was the level of
dedication to this franchise. It really felt like a bunch
of fans trying to make a piece of fan art
(14:48):
for other fans. Everybody was just trying to do their utmost,
and to be honest, set, we have a bunch of
people who had that much. I'm not saying that anybody
knew there'd be any success like and also you have
the pressure of all these incredible movies that have been
made as part of this franchise, and you're going, well,
(15:09):
all we can do is what we can do.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
But there was no look.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
I said one time, I think in an interview that
the people on the original Aliens, if they didn't know
they were about to make one of the most iconic
films in.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
History, they had no idea. They were just they knew
they were doing something special.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Probably, but it could have just disappeared as another whole
horror from the seventies.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It became something more right.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
So on set, it was just seeing how there was
a sense of almost like dedication to trying to get
this thing across. And that wasn't necessarily shocking. I think
it just inspired all of us. You see everyone else
putting there, most of them, you think I'm going to
do it most as well.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You know, I can't let the side down.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I don't want to be the one that hasn't turned
up ready, hasn't put in the work, doesn't care as
much is trying to get a paycheck or a chare.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, Now do you get lost in Marrow?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Because you know this is a heavy This is a
heavy row. Like you know, and I learned.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
That actors often sometimes take a little bit from their characters,
you know, or they learn something from it.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
So I want to know what has Marol taught you
as you walk the issues.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm a very affable, amenable.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
For I don't know how else to say it about myself,
but I'm actually very easy to work with, Like everything
is funny and fun I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Want to take anything too seriously. I just want everyone
to be happy. I'm caring warm. But then I'm looking
at Morrow.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I thought, well, there's elements of myself that I can
allow to come out, that directness, that courage, that confidence,
we able to say, hey, look this situation right here,
it's not working.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And one thing I noticed about Morrow doesn't rush in
of things where it's me. I'm like, let's go and
I'll figure it out. What's f'goings.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
So I think whether I like it or our six
months of playing that character sub conscious gets affected. There's
no two ways about it. Now, I might get excited
about something, but if I go away and have a
moment to think, I might go, hey, no, hold on,
hold on a second, just just give me, give me
a minute, think about this. And if I think about it,
(17:28):
in my instincts are telling me no, this isn't really
good thing the great So it's a sense of maturity almost,
you know, left to it, I'll be a kid for
life forget you know what does it matter?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
All right? So we like that, we do. We do
like to have a little bit of fun on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I got I got some questions that are within there right,
So very first thing, for example, do you think Waylan
you Thani can get Babu on their ship today?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Like today, we're doing it. We're doing it.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
We gotta go say to do what exactly?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Do research? You gotta do research?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
No, no, where are we going. I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Man, You're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay, go up? Would you all right? So? Huh would
you go? Hmmm?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So it.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Depends on where in life. It depends on where I'm
at in life.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Right right, right, right right right? Do I hear you?
I hear you.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
That's interesting because it's almost as if we both know
you'd have to be a place in life where you
feel like there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Left to do or no options.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yes, and then at that point I'd be like, well,
what I gotta lose, Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
All right, So so we call this our geek set hypotheticals.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
All right, this is your survival rate.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Zombie apocalypse, robot apocalypse, or alien apocalypse. Which one do
you believe that you will be able to survive the longest?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Zombie apocalypse, robot apocalypse was the last one.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
In apocalypse.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Bro terrible, all terrible, all terrible situations. I'm gonna go
with zombie zombie zombies. I'm going to go with zombie.
I feel like they're the dumbest of the lot. And
because the robots, I think, would figure out where I
was very quickly, they could have run me. Maybe a
(19:25):
zombie couldn't. Although we don't want the world war, z
zombies never very quick and determined. Zombie apocalypse, zombie apocalypse.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
All right, you know what I said that? So what
you said, is always my breakdown. I'm like, all right,
which zombies are we talking about? Because I feel like,
if it's just the walking Dea style zombies, I got
a couple of rules that I can put in places.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Exactly, but that world Wars z the Moon, that sprint,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And if we're talking Resident Evil, where anything could be
a zombie, I'm out of there.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So I think I find zombie the most horrifying because
the idea of the living dead is brendous, right, But
I just I would maybe I've seen more zombie movies,
but I feel like I'm like, forget it, man.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Because they can you know, you know, that's the unknown.
You really don't know what they have. You don't know
what as we see in Alien Earth, Like we just
started with zenoph xenomorphs.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Next thing, you know, now we got the fly, Now
we we got the Midge.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Oh man, that I forget it. It's like alone, yeah, yeah,
exactly right right now.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You know, in black culture, music often amped us up
for things. What music does MOREL listen to to get
his day started?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Oh wow, that's deep, man, that's really deep. Bro. I
listened to when I was playing morol.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I listened to a lot of nineteen twenties, thirties, forties,
and fifties black jazz. Oh okay, you know, going back
as well to the Napkin Cold.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Because I think.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I think part of what I did it for was
one of the songs that we would hum that he
used to hum is.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
We'll Meet again. Yeah, And.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So I wanted to stick to music from that era
and beyond rather than what I would listen to.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You know, I'm a biggie small to pack. I'm from
that time. That was when we.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Were getting the cassette tapes and sitting down in a
corner as a group and listening to it and speaking
to our souls, you know what I'm saying. But I
feel like Morow, he's going for the fifties Yeisa, Franklins
and so on and so forth, just to steady himself,
to be more at peace with his human side, which
is you know, full of knos and hey yeah, yeah, yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
There's there's the you know what that that really does
track tomorrow, you know, like if I if I had
to envision it myself, that definitely tracks from that that
would be what he would listen to.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That I can see him.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Day, his day started getting ready to go, you know,
trick some kids and.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He's a term, I mean the trick and the kids did.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
When I read that, I'm like that, that's the first
thing I read the scene with authors with slightly and
manipulating slightly, and I thought that is on the line.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, and you know it's it was really like, again,
you're killing this role so much. And I know, you
know what I'm saying, the collaboration between your acting and writing.
Because even how he when he collopped that they have
the minds of kids and he started using specific words
like hero and monsters.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
That's when I was like, oh.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
You are paying attention brother, Oh yeah, because that's the deal.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I love it that the writing is fantastic and the
being able to lean into that recognizing that he knows
how to talk to a child in a way that
actually the corporation boy k and that luck don't.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Get at all because you know, you know, because because
they say he wants them, which is like I said,
I love the themes in here because you know, when
when when he first said that he wants somebody that's
as intelligent as him. But then as they're getting more intelligent,
he finds ways to knock them back down.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
It's like there's that pecking order, and so it's.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Like it's it's but then here where your character is
actually you know, unintentionally kind of building him, building them
up because you know, you're.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So how many conversations have they had.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
There's the tune that we see, the awful one with
his mom where he's really going in on him. But
the fact of the matter is all those other conversations
that he has with him. I'm sure they didn't just
talk those two times, you know, Right, he's getting to
know this young man, you know, and probably listening to
things about his life and getting to know more, partly
to collect information, but to feel listen to anything better
(24:08):
than that as a person, you know, to feel seen.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Last last question before I get you about top five
alien films?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh dude, why are you putting in that position? Man? Okay?
Number one? Oh g Alien? Right? Right? Then Aliens?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Okay, right?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I really like Prometheus, me too, Thank you, love Rada.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I mean, that's just so many things that I could
go crazy about it.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
But anyway, ruminless, I know Peops were here and there,
But I just loved it that last act with the
endless face huggers rather like, it's just creative, it's next level,
and it had me on the edge of my seat
thinking what's going to happen next? Actually came out while
we're shooting, but I didn't watch it. And in the
(25:05):
fifth position, I'm going to put in covenant Sally, Yes, yes,
I'll stay I'll stay there. That's for metis in three
for me.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So the last question, not question, but just for you,
what is the one the last thing that well, what
do you want people to take from this series when
it's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Okay, So look, there's there's a lot out there, and
you're consuming a lot, right when you see something that
really speaks to you, Like when I watch a TV
show that I just feel like for that hour or
when I'm binging it for the eight that I'm transported
to another place, yes you know, and that I'm fulfilled
(25:56):
in some way, and then I get to come back
to my life maybe a little bit strong, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Hopefully. I'm hoping that.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
People watch this series suspend their disbelief, forgive us for
our flaws, just come along with the faith. That we
all put into it and get something out of it.
You know, the world's an interesting place right now.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yes, So just to be.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Able to watch something that you can disappear into, that's
what my big hope is like ultimately to.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Entertain you know. Yes, yeah, yeah, I loved watching it.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, I want to let you know.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Closing remarks from the fans from geek set, from myself,
from horror fans, from Alien fans in general. Man, thank
you guys for what you guys are giving us. Thank
you guys for this franchise. Thank you guys for this series.
Keep on continuing it.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
We're going to be supporting you beyond Alien Earth.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And everything like that. Thank you so much for your time,
and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Thank you. I really appreciate you speaking to me man,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
B
Let me choose your character.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
All right, all right, all right, Welcome back to the
geek Set podcast only podcasts that blend hip hop, coachure
and geek coaching together. I'm your boy, Duces, and this
is one of one with Douces, the place where I
speak with creators, curators and people that you should know.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And right now, very special, very special.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Episode because you know, if you any all my fans
and the people that have been listening to the podcast,
you guys know, I am an Alien fanatic. I love
the franchise so much, and I've been singing praise of
this show. But we have none other than Bibo se
say Aka Morrow, how are you doing, Bro?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm good, Bro, So nice to meet happening here. Man,
Thank you Man.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I appreciate it so much, man, I said, I've been
for the past three weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I've been singing your praises.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
This this School's praise because, like I said, I love
the Alien series and franchise so much. And what I
love about Alien Earth is that it pays so much
respect to the Og while also being new and breath
taking and you know, and and adding to the Lord
without taking away from it, right, And so I was like, ah, Man,
(01:40):
I like, I've been loving this series and everything about
it now knowing that you are such a yeah, and
knowing that you are such a film fanatic and everything
like that, and I know that you love horror as well.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I know that.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Like, so you've told the story already about you got
the script, you set it on your table, you went
back and forth. But I want to know when you
got the call and they said you got the role?
What how did that feel?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Oh? Man? Brother?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Well, I talked to Noah. And then for a couple
of days, Oh, no, no, I had three days in
a flat and for those three days I couldn't leave.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I had arrived in Athens.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I was making a film out there, and I had
three days off and I was waiting to find out
if I had it. And I spoke to Noah in
that time, and then had waited a couple of days,
I couldn't leave the flat. I'd walk to the dining room,
then I'd walk to the kitchen. I think, oh, I've
already washed the dishes. Then I walked to the to
my room as I've already made the bed, and I
walked back to the line, sit down in the end,
I realized, oh my goodness, I'm in limbo. I can't
(02:44):
even function, And I thought, I'm preparing myself for the
very painful blow of learning that I'm not going to
be playing Moco.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So I'm sitting here bracing for the pain, waiting.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
So when they told me, oh man and calling my
wife up astor this to say hey, it's a yeah, yes,
like like there was at that moment that I got
off got by stuff together. I went outside and actually
saw Athenms and had a coffee and thought, ah, just
a sense of relief. And then ten minutes later, the
(03:15):
way of responsibility kicks in.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You think, I have to work.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's right now, now, now, I gotta bring this character
to life, and they said, you're knocking it out the party.
You know what I love about Morrow's character that that
what we're seeing on screen is that one his sense
of duty, right, you know, like even from back from
that first episode, you know, he was like, I'm going
to get them back. And you know, I know that
(03:40):
this show can paint you as the antagonist, but I
feel like there's a duality to the character because you
got like you gotta think, you know, I'm where where
we're at currently is an episode six that's the live right,
and so you know, you hear where they say, like,
you know, these these species they were they didn't come
here on their own. They were that they were not
trying to be here. They were brought here and they're
(04:01):
just being natural, right, and you being so you know,
dedicated to the to you know, to the company, You're like, no,
I live here, I'm going to get these back.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I'm invested you. I've been up here. The job is
the job.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And so I love that because it's like it's one
of those things where it's the antagonist.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Can you can see a side or you can be
against it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's the thing with the antagonist, though.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
An antagonist is just the opposite of a protagonist in
their world day out. The protagonist they're going forward, right,
And I love what you said earlier about these creatures.
They represent nature in the show, and nature's gonna do
what nature's gonna do, right, It's not negotiating with you
having conversations.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's just gonna do what it's gonna do. It's gonna
follow its nature.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Now, duty though, is a different thing, it's a different
beast all together.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Duty and loyalty. That's when you're learning, you're teaching.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yourself almost against your nature, to do things that you
might not do naturally, like to you know, hurt another
human being, right, just so you can get a goal
that seems to be for a greater good than maybe
what your own personal.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Goal might be.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So I think that's in the show things that represent
it differently. Moral represents duties and honor and purpose, and
a purpose is more personal to him.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I love that. I love that, and I think people
can relate to that.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yet it's almost like we know on some level, as
awful as it sounds, that if you don't have a purpose,
but what's the point. That's the point of view, right, right,
So if you see a character with such a player
of purpose, whereas other characters feel.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like maybe they're being innovative or maybe they're looking for this.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Look, if you see that, I can see how sometimes
people are like, oh man, I've had someone write to
me saying I have hated your character for four episodes,
almost as if like directed in me, and I'm going, okay,
I'm sorry, And then they've got and I just watched
that five and now I'm tiam more. I got your
wherever you're going, we're going. I'm like, okay, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
But you know that's but that's like the to me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I feel like, if you're going to be an antagonist,
you want those moments where people like sometimes they can't
you know, differentiate between the actor and the and the characters.
Like I tell the story before, but like I remember
my aunt the first time that she watched Training Day
and she was like, for like for like three months.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
She was off of Denzel.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
She was like, I do not like Denzel, And I
was like, han, see, that's that's just the character.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
But he played he read it, so Training Day, That's wow,
that's an OG movie man.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Right right right.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But you know I also love, like, you know, in
those intense moments, like when you have to like you know,
like whether it's a speech, whether it's you know, trying
to get your point across the way that you bring
out that intensity of Marrow, Like you know that elevator
scene between Marrow and kersh oh my god, like that
that was masterful because you can feel the tension.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know, you guys are both kind of like jockeying
for power, you.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Know, you know, doing a little jab called an old model,
you know your toys, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Just like, yo, this right, like you know what that means?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, absolute cinema, like I love the ba Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, yeah, I love that scene. I love doing that scene.
I love working with Tim's And he came in and
he's he's such a creative like person and he said
to me, hey, so I'm in there with my intense
moral energy, he said, you know, and he added a
little bit, a little drop of honey to the scene
with his thoughts. He said, look, it's just two guys,
you know. So it's two guys, your middle management on
(07:39):
your side and middle management on mine. You know, we're here.
And Noah had put this idea actually to my head originally,
but he said, it's the thing of you know, they
talking to each other about, well, what's it like over there,
what's it like being replaced? And of course he's got
all that extra edge because we are going to kill
each other maybe but maybe not right now, because this
is up a good place for it.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
When he said that, I just started laughing. I thought, oh,
this is beautiful. So even though we had that tension,
the knowledge that underneath it there's a.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Little bit of maybe respects. It's like, okay, you're carrying
your burden, I'm carrying mine. We get each other. It's okay,
we'll have about that.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Correctly, what we'll have our match man.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You know, right, exactly exactly right, right right.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
But that's the thing, you know, with a cast as
stacked as this, you know, this is like you know,
I tipped my hat to the writers and the director
you know, of the show, because with a cast as
stacked as it is, you can't get lost in trying
to give everybody enough screen time or tell their story
or really flesh out the characters. And I feel like
(08:45):
that there, you guys are as a team, you guys
are really capturing all of that, like we're able to
connect and understand where everybody is at, you know. But
also that's wonderful, man, you know, and that you want
to say, go ahead, go ahead, now you go. But
I was going to say, you know, and they really
just get us invested in the bigger story because you know,
(09:05):
with the five companies and just really just saying like, Okay,
now we know who all these characters are, we know
who we are rooting for or who we're trying to
whose stories we want to know. But now we got
to figure out what is really going on? What does
boy Genius really want?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
That's it, That's it, And I love that you said that,
because that's the point. Their writing is so efficient to swell.
I know, that's a very odd way to describe writing.
It's so efficient that you are able to capture like
an entire storyline in a sentence. So you know, when
Morrow says, you know a feral boy with a palsied
arm and you know, living on the streets, it's three lines,
(09:41):
it's not even three lines, it's one and a half lines,
and it just gives you an entire history right in
a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And they's that efficiency, and I think the cast.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
What I love about this cast, and I'm crazy about
literally everybody in it, is that every time somebody has
an opportunity to pull something out, they pull it out
and it says so much about them. And that's what
blew me away. I mean, you've seen six and Tootles
played by Kid Kit Young and in four, and you
(10:15):
know Four, when he's dealing with his character at the lab,
it is it at four. I'm biguing me up six
when you see what happens to him.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And even that little thing of oh no, I'll do it.
Just that little moment.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Shows you the child, shows you his desire to go
and do something outside the box. You know, Jonathan and
Giant Orders, the way that they interact with each other,
just it fills you with so much feeling and emotion
as you're watching it. I'm watching it as a fan man,
and I'm just you know, peeking out watching true.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And you know it's the also like with the mirroring,
you know, the theme of Peter Pan, right, that is
that was brilliant because you know, we as kids growing up,
we understand the story of Peter Pan in the Disney
Light and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
There's also that little bit of like, wait.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
A minute, what is really Peter Pan and the Lost
Boys and everything. So when you hear boy Gen is
telling the stories over and you kind of have like that,
you know that immunis of like Peter Pan, yes, he
wants you to stay young, but it's more of like
there's a controlling you know, you don't know why.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, So it's like, yeah, it's just like it's so
good how they tell that story.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
This show taught me how scary Peter Pan actually is,
and this boy that doesn't want anyone to grow up,
and what is growing up, Well, it's becoming more responsible,
but also becoming more morally responsible. So you have to
do the right thing at some point. But then again,
we've got a bunch of adults that are doing whatever
they want, you know, and in the midst of that
(11:47):
more trying to represent duty.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
It's saying, well, we have to do what we should do,
you know. So I think.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That's that's Noah explores that with this backdrop of corporations
and you know, in the modern world we live in
right now, we're asking questions as well, what what are
the corporations doing? Who's really in charge? Here's our govern
mental is it that super powerful? Billy and aretually in
there to be over They're like, what's really controlling things?
And we're in the midst of it trying to make
(12:12):
sense of that. So I think that exploration with sci
fi gives us a chance to do. It's what I
love so much about this show, you know, right right.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And so like it was there in the original, it
was there in the original.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You know they call the shares, yeah, closer, going, Hey,
I want to talk about my my Bonus.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Talking about Bonus, it's like, oh my goodness, what's new? Right?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Knowing that everything that you guys have got up of
the geek set as well, Man, it deserves the spotlight
to be highlighted for just the incredible work that you
guys put in that helps me inspire others to feel
comfortable in their own skin about being fans of the
things that they genuinely care about.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Brothers?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Chop it up a few for forty five minutes and
now that's that's the easy part.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Hey, you have a really good voice for.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
This because I know that you you know, you talked
about being a kid on set, right, you know, you
have that first walkthrough and everybody just looking at it
like a museum and everything. But outside of the set,
like within this like what was the what was the
most shocking thing to you outside of the set like
(14:20):
about this project?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Talking who don't use the word shocking. I would say
the thing that really got me was the level of
dedication to this franchise. It really felt like a bunch
of fans trying to make a piece of fan art
(14:48):
for other fans. Everybody was just trying to do their utmost,
and to be honest, set, we have a bunch of
people who had that much. I'm not saying that anybody
knew there'd be any success like and also you have
the pressure of all these incredible movies that have been
made as part of this franchise, and you're going, well,
(15:09):
all we can do is what we can do.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
But there was no look.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
I said one time, I think in an interview that
the people on the original Aliens, if they didn't know
they were about to make one of the most iconic
films in.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
History, they had no idea. They were just they knew
they were doing something special.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Probably, but it could have just disappeared as another whole
horror from the seventies.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It became something more right.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
So on set, it was just seeing how there was
a sense of almost like dedication to trying to get
this thing across. And that wasn't necessarily shocking. I think
it just inspired all of us. You see everyone else
putting there, most of them, you think I'm going to
do it most as well.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You know, I can't let the side down.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I don't want to be the one that hasn't turned
up ready, hasn't put in the work, doesn't care as
much is trying to get a paycheck or a chare.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, Now do you get lost in Marrow?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Because you know this is a heavy This is a
heavy row. Like you know, and I learned.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
That actors often sometimes take a little bit from their characters,
you know, or they learn something from it.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
So I want to know what has Marol taught you
as you walk the issues.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm a very affable, amenable.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
For I don't know how else to say it about myself,
but I'm actually very easy to work with, Like everything
is funny and fun I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Want to take anything too seriously. I just want everyone
to be happy. I'm caring warm. But then I'm looking
at Morrow.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I thought, well, there's elements of myself that I can
allow to come out, that directness, that courage, that confidence,
we able to say, hey, look this situation right here,
it's not working.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And one thing I noticed about Morrow doesn't rush in
of things where it's me. I'm like, let's go and
I'll figure it out. What's f'goings.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
So I think whether I like it or our six
months of playing that character sub conscious gets affected. There's
no two ways about it. Now, I might get excited
about something, but if I go away and have a
moment to think, I might go, hey, no, hold on,
hold on a second, just just give me, give me
a minute, think about this. And if I think about it,
(17:28):
in my instincts are telling me no, this isn't really
good thing the great So it's a sense of maturity almost,
you know, left to it, I'll be a kid for
life forget you know what does it matter?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
All right? So we like that, we do. We do
like to have a little bit of fun on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I got I got some questions that are within there right,
So very first thing, for example, do you think Waylan
you Thani can get Babu on their ship today?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Like today, we're doing it. We're doing it.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
We gotta go say to do what exactly?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Do research? You gotta do research?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
No, no, where are we going. I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Man, You're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay, go up? Would you all right? So? Huh would
you go? Hmmm?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So it.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Depends on where in life. It depends on where I'm
at in life.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Right right, right, right right right? Do I hear you?
I hear you.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
That's interesting because it's almost as if we both know
you'd have to be a place in life where you
feel like there's nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Left to do or no options.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yes, and then at that point I'd be like, well,
what I gotta lose, Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
All right, So so we call this our geek set hypotheticals.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
All right, this is your survival rate.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Zombie apocalypse, robot apocalypse, or alien apocalypse. Which one do
you believe that you will be able to survive the longest?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Zombie apocalypse, robot apocalypse was the last one.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
In apocalypse.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Bro terrible, all terrible, all terrible situations. I'm gonna go
with zombie zombie zombies. I'm going to go with zombie.
I feel like they're the dumbest of the lot. And
because the robots, I think, would figure out where I
was very quickly, they could have run me. Maybe a
(19:25):
zombie couldn't. Although we don't want the world war, z
zombies never very quick and determined. Zombie apocalypse, zombie apocalypse.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
All right, you know what I said that? So what
you said, is always my breakdown. I'm like, all right,
which zombies are we talking about? Because I feel like,
if it's just the walking Dea style zombies, I got
a couple of rules that I can put in places.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Exactly, but that world Wars z the Moon, that sprint,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And if we're talking Resident Evil, where anything could be
a zombie, I'm out of there.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So I think I find zombie the most horrifying because
the idea of the living dead is brendous, right, But
I just I would maybe I've seen more zombie movies,
but I feel like I'm like, forget it, man.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Because they can you know, you know, that's the unknown.
You really don't know what they have. You don't know
what as we see in Alien Earth, Like we just
started with zenoph xenomorphs.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Next thing, you know, now we got the fly, Now
we we got the Midge.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Oh man, that I forget it. It's like alone, yeah, yeah,
exactly right right now.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You know, in black culture, music often amped us up
for things. What music does MOREL listen to to get
his day started?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Oh wow, that's deep, man, that's really deep. Bro. I
listened to when I was playing morol.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I listened to a lot of nineteen twenties, thirties, forties,
and fifties black jazz. Oh okay, you know, going back
as well to the Napkin Cold.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Because I think.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I think part of what I did it for was
one of the songs that we would hum that he
used to hum is.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
We'll Meet again. Yeah, And.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So I wanted to stick to music from that era
and beyond rather than what I would listen to.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You know, I'm a biggie small to pack. I'm from
that time. That was when we.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Were getting the cassette tapes and sitting down in a
corner as a group and listening to it and speaking
to our souls, you know what I'm saying. But I
feel like Morow, he's going for the fifties Yeisa, Franklins
and so on and so forth, just to steady himself,
to be more at peace with his human side, which
is you know, full of knos and hey yeah, yeah, yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
There's there's the you know what that that really does
track tomorrow, you know, like if I if I had
to envision it myself, that definitely tracks from that that
would be what he would listen to.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That I can see him.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Day, his day started getting ready to go, you know,
trick some kids and.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
He's a term, I mean the trick and the kids did.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
When I read that, I'm like that, that's the first
thing I read the scene with authors with slightly and
manipulating slightly, and I thought that is on the line.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, and you know it's it was really like, again,
you're killing this role so much. And I know, you
know what I'm saying, the collaboration between your acting and writing.
Because even how he when he collopped that they have
the minds of kids and he started using specific words
like hero and monsters.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
That's when I was like, oh.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
You are paying attention brother, Oh yeah, because that's the deal.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I love it that the writing is fantastic and the
being able to lean into that recognizing that he knows
how to talk to a child in a way that
actually the corporation boy k and that luck don't.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Get at all because you know, you know, because because
they say he wants them, which is like I said,
I love the themes in here because you know, when
when when he first said that he wants somebody that's
as intelligent as him. But then as they're getting more intelligent,
he finds ways to knock them back down.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
It's like there's that pecking order, and so it's.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Like it's it's but then here where your character is
actually you know, unintentionally kind of building him, building them
up because you know, you're.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So how many conversations have they had.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
There's the tune that we see, the awful one with
his mom where he's really going in on him. But
the fact of the matter is all those other conversations
that he has with him. I'm sure they didn't just
talk those two times, you know, Right, he's getting to
know this young man, you know, and probably listening to
things about his life and getting to know more, partly
to collect information, but to feel listen to anything better
(24:08):
than that as a person, you know, to feel seen.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Last last question before I get you about top five
alien films?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh dude, why are you putting in that position? Man? Okay?
Number one? Oh g Alien? Right? Right? Then Aliens?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Okay, right?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I really like Prometheus, me too, Thank you, love Rada.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I mean, that's just so many things that I could
go crazy about it.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
But anyway, ruminless, I know Peops were here and there,
But I just loved it that last act with the
endless face huggers rather like, it's just creative, it's next level,
and it had me on the edge of my seat
thinking what's going to happen next? Actually came out while
we're shooting, but I didn't watch it. And in the
(25:05):
fifth position, I'm going to put in covenant Sally, Yes, yes,
I'll stay I'll stay there. That's for metis in three
for me.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So the last question, not question, but just for you,
what is the one the last thing that well, what
do you want people to take from this series when
it's all said and done.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Okay, So look, there's there's a lot out there, and
you're consuming a lot, right when you see something that
really speaks to you, Like when I watch a TV
show that I just feel like for that hour or
when I'm binging it for the eight that I'm transported
to another place, yes you know, and that I'm fulfilled
(25:56):
in some way, and then I get to come back
to my life maybe a little bit strong, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Hopefully. I'm hoping that.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
People watch this series suspend their disbelief, forgive us for
our flaws, just come along with the faith. That we
all put into it and get something out of it.
You know, the world's an interesting place right now.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yes, So just to be.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Able to watch something that you can disappear into, that's
what my big hope is like ultimately to.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Entertain you know. Yes, yeah, yeah, I loved watching it.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, I want to let you know.
Speaker 1 (26:32):

Speaker 1 (26:53):

no doubt.
