Perfect Organism: The Alien Saga Podcast

Two of the most intriguing characters in Alien: Earth (at least from what we've seen so far!) are, without a doubt, Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler) and Morrow (Babou Ceesay). Jaime and Patrick had the chance to chat with them inside FX's podcasting space at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, and we're more intrigued than ever to see where these characters go throughout the rest of the season!

It was an utterly surreal moment: talking abou...

In the midst of all the chaos at SDCC, Jaime and Patrick managed to sit down with TQ Jefferson and Eugene Elkin from Survios to chat about Alien: Rogue Incursion's upcoming move to consoles! This was recorded on an iPhone in a loud ballroom, so the audio isn't great. But luckily there is video as well! Check our channels for that later today.

Just moments after the SDCC Hall H Alien: Earth panel ended—a panel which included a screening of the full first episode!—Jaime and Patrick ran back to the podcast studio to record some quick thoughts. There are NO SPOILERS in here, so don't be worried about that.

We then stayed in the studio for another 45 minutes and recorded our first-ever spoiler reaction/analysis of Alien: Earth's pilot, which was immense fun. Look for that af...

This is a big one, folks! Our first interview with someone involved directly in the production of Alien: Earth (first of more to come ...). We're so pleased to bring you this conversation with Jeff Russo, composer of the intriguing score of FX's Alien: Earth.

Jeff, a frequent Noah Hawley collaborator, has had quite the career: originally a founding member of Grammy-nominated rock band Tonic, Jeff transitioned into scoring film, tel...

In this episode, Perry and Jaime sit down with Alien: Lost Transmission writer-director Connor Botts and his co-writer and star, Benjamin Mayer. This might just be one of our most entertaining conversations yet. From Connor’s first sparks of inspiration to last-minute reshoots and shifting release dates, the duo dives into the passion, chaos, and creative fire behind their stunning short film.

Alien: Lost Transmission is a gorgeous...

In this episode, Patrick, Andie and Jaime talk with Legacy Effects artist Adam Milicevic about his work on Alien Romulus, the challenge of creature design, the ever-changing film industry and so much more. This episode was meant to drop on Alien Day 2025 but fell through the cracks. We are so excited to present it to you now. If you'd like to follow Adam and his work, he's on Instagram @civicdilemma.

In this episode, Patrick and Jaime welcome AvP Galaxy’s Adam Zeller for a bold and timely conversation about a major development: the possible return of the Predator—this time, in a sequel to Alien: Romulus. What could this mean for the future of the Alien franchise? Is it a bold evolution, or a risky crossover just as Alien is rediscovering its creative core?

Together, we explore the legacy of both creatures, the pitfalls of mergi...

Listener Peter Wright wrote to us back in January with a killer episode idea: what if Ripley never made it off the ship, but someone (or something) else had?

In today's show—a loose continuation of our ongoing "What If" series—Perry, Andie, Ross, and Patrick tease through all the various ways that question could play out. What if Dallas had survived? Would he have known to check on Special Order 937? What if Lambert had s...

On today's show we welcome back Matt Savage (IG: mattasav.concept) to talk about his amazing work as a concept artist on Alien: Romulus. Matt's work on numerous design elements of the film—most famous being the Corbelan IV (interior as well as exterior!)—lent a tremendous amount of realism and believability to Fede Alvarez's film.

Join Jaime and Patrick as they chat with Matt about bringing this amazing universe to life!

In this episode, the Perfect Organism crew dives deep into the mystery of what Weyland-Yutani knew and when. With Alien: Earth on the horizon, we're asking the big questions: Were other ships sent to retrieve the creature? How long has the Company been tracking it? What don’t we know? This is a riveting, high-stakes conversation packed with theories, revelations, and just the right amount of paranoia.

HAPPY ALIEN DAY 2025!!

Looking back through the history of cinema, there are very few - if any - monsters as iconic as the Alien. But why is that? Why are we so afraid of it, intrigued by it, obsessed with it? Why does it speak to audiences in 2025 with just as much power as it did nearly five decades ago?

In this episode (which is something of a third installment in our Anatomy of...

One of our favorite Alien Day traditions is our annual t-shirt unveiling. Over the past near-decade, we've gotten to work with tons of gifted artists from around Alien fandom – and this year is VERY MUCH no exception.

In this dynamic follow-up to our first installment, Perry, Andie, Patrick, and Jaime dive deep into the characters of the ALIEN films, when they soar, when they fall flat, and how the modern studio system shapes not just how movies are made, but how we experience them. This episode is spirited, unfiltered, and full of sharp insights and passionate debate.
