Perfect Organism: The Alien Saga Podcast

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 featu...

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.

In this episode, the Perfect Organism team unites to explore what the Alien series truly means to each of them.

Joining the crew is patron and returning guest Mario Benvenuto, who inspired this episode’s theme. Together, Patrick, Perry, Andie, Holden, Mario, and contribu...

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 who b...

After a month-long break that felt more like a deep breath after a storm, Jaime and Patrick return to the mic following a relentless stretch of Alien: Earth coverage. In this episode, they take a long, unflinching look at where the Alien universe stands today. From the legacy of the original trilogy to the uneven terrain of everything that followed, they explore how each new entry, film, or series has both carried and fractured the...

Among other duties, Maggie is behind the "needle drops" in the show—a hallmark of Hawley's style, and a thrilling (if somewhat divisive) addition to the Alien universe. And Jeff was kind enough to come back on just a...
