This episode contains details about the setting, the protagonist, the gameplay, and more. It's extraordinary access, and we're so grateful to Peter for taking us into the...

For many of us in fandom, collecting is more than a hobby—it's a ritual, a chance to stay connected with these films that have been so central to our lives.

Our friend Jeremy Todd (of Epic Film Guys Podcast, which you should absolutely listen to) is one of the most passionate collectors we know. In today's episode, Jaime and Patrick chat with Jeremy about their respective collections, the stories behind them, and the white wh...

As we approach the 40th anniversary of James Cameron's seminal film, Aliens, the Perfect Organism Podcast Strategy Team sat down to record a kick off episode.

What we all agree on is that Aliens feels like home. It's the sequel that made the series into what it is today. Aliens endures because the characters endure. That's a testament to James Cameron's writing.

As amazing as Aliens is, did it set up the rest of the series for fail...

In this final episode of the Marines: Ultimate Badasses series, we dive deep into the extraordinary character of Hicks, exploring why he stands as one of cinema’s most quietly remarkable figures. From his calm competence under fire to his instinctive protectiveness and emotional intelligence, Hicks embodies a rare combination of steady strength and sensitivity. We discuss how his courage, thoughtful leadership, and genuine ca...

In this episode, nearly the full team behind Perfect Organism Podcast comes together to speculate, dream, and dig into what an Alien: Isolation sequel could become. From the kinds of creatures we might encounter, to whether Amanda Ripley’s story should continue, nothing is off the table. Everyone brings a perspective, and the excitement in the room is real.

We also break down the latest Alien: Earth news, including the additi...

The Alien series has a long, complex history with the video game industry. From the 2600 Pac-Man clone days to the hyperrealism of Alien: Isolation, fans of the series have been battling (/hiding from) xenomorphs for nearly five decades.

Mike Diver's upcoming book, Aliens: The Video Games, is a sweeping journey through Alien gaming history. With original research and interviews—and no small helping of nostalgia—the book...

With Alien: Earth season two about to start filming at the legendary Pinewood Studios, Jaime and Patrick thought it might be fun to explore what this could mean for the future of the first-ever Alien television series.

And there've been rumors floating around about the sequel to Alien: Romulus, including who just might be directing it.

Join us for this little news/rumor discussion; thanks for being here!

In this episode, Perry and Jaime sit down with Aliens: Resurgence director TrisRex to explore his ambitious, labor-of-love fan film set twenty years after the events of James Cameron’s Aliens. What began as an idea during the uncertainty of 2021 evolved into a full-scale production, complete with pandemic challenges, practical builds, and even a Chicago windstorm that literally blew the set away.

A lot has been said—and rightfully so—about Ripley and how important she is to the history of the perception of women in Hollywood stories.

But it's worth noting the many progressive, complex, and well-rendered male characters who also make the Alien series so special.

Whether it's Dallas' steady leadership, Hicks' quiet kindness, or Dillon's redemptive (or is it?) arc, the Alien saga has many male characters worth cele...

In this episode, Patrick, Jaime, Perry, Andie and Micah discuss the "dream theory" that's surrounded Alien 3 since it's storied release in 1992. Why does this theory exist? What's behind it? We all try to answer these questions in our own way as re-engage a film that continues to be fiercely controversial while also gathering more support as each year passes. As with so many of our conversations, this was a spirited panel, and we h...

In a shocking late-2025 announcement, we learned Fede Alvarez wouldn't be returning as director for the sequel to Alien: Romulus.

Months later, we still don't know why—and we still have no idea who'll be directing in his place!

On tonight's roundtable, the team spitballs about some scenarios. Should the story continue Rain and Andy's narrative? Who should direct it? What kind of tone should they aim for, and what do they need...

The Perfect Organism Podcast strategy team in conversation about what truly makes ALIEN Alien. Building on the foundation Patrick and Jaime laid in part one, the team digs deeper into the thematic architecture of the series, why these ideas continue to resonate across generations, and what may be essential for Alien to evolve while remaining true to its core identity.

As always, thank you for listening, for thinking deeply alongsid...

A phrase we often throw around is "This (movie, TV show, book) feels like Alien."

But what does that actually mean? In today's episode, Jaime and Patrick attempt to figure that out.

We will return to this conversation in the new year, so please send us your thoughts in the meantime! You can do so at r/perfectorganism, Building Better Worlds, or by sending us an email via the Contact page on our website. We'd love to ...

Alien: Earth has been renewed for a second season, and that's making a lot of people feel a lot of big feelings!

On tonight's roundtable, the PO Team comes together to discuss this news and how they're personally processing it. What lies ahead? How do we feel about the series now that we've had a couple months to live with it?

Come hang, and let's chat about it!

You'll know Shaun Hamill is a lifelong Alien nerd within the first few pages of his new novel Alien: Perfect Organisms (out today, November 18, wherever books are sold!). With believable characters, a healthy dose of body horror, and extensive meditations on creativity and capitalism, Alien: Perfect Organisms is a wonderful new entry in the Expanded Universe.

Join Jaime and Patrick as they chat with Shaun about how t...

In this episode, the Perfect Organism team unites to explore what the Alien series truly means to each of them. From Patrick’s fascination with the creature itself to Andie’s devotion to character, no corner of the franchise, or the human heart behind it, is left unexplored. Joining the crew is patron and returning guest Mario Benvenuto, who inspired this episode’s theme. Together, Patrick, Perry, Andie, Holden, M...

One of the great thrills of covering Alien: Earth's release was getting to speak with so many people involved with the show. We aired many of these interviews throughout the season as part of our aftershow, but we had to leave almost two hours' worth on the cutting room floor for the sake of brevity.

Presented here, for the first time as a single, cohesive audio documentary, are interviews with twenty-one of the key creatives ...
