Perfect Organism: The Alien Saga Podcast

As we close out a banner year in Alien fandom, we return to our series dedicated to the game that changed everything: Alien: Isolation. When we last had Andy Kelly on the show, he was telling us about a book he was in the very early stages of writing. Now that that book (Perfect Organism: An Alien: Isolation Companion) is released (and is spectacular!), we had Andy on the show again for a rousing conversation on Isolation's enduring legacy.

In this episode, the whole gang gets together to reinvestigate the original Alien trilogy through the lens of Survival, Rescue and Grief. Why do the first three films resonate so deeply all these years later? Was it just about the characters or something more? Join Patrick, Jaime, Andie, Perry, Xander, Adam and Holden as we explore the many themes presented in the films. It's a fun and contemplative ride. // Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/perfectorganismitunes // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.perfectorganism.com. // If you’d like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Building Better Worlds // To support the show, please consider visiting www.perfectorganism.com/support.

How often do you get to hear directly from an actor who got to be facehugged? In today's episode, Jaime, Patrick, and Andie get the full download from the wonderful actor Aileen Wu, whose performance as Navarro is a real highlight of this fascinating movie. Aileen talks about building her character, getting to know her ship (and her crewmates), how that majestic chestbursting sequence came to life, and so much more. Aileen was an absolute delight to talk to, and we're so excited to share this interview with you all.

In this episode, the whole gang sits down to discuss the news of a sequel to ALIEN: Romulus being green-lit by 20th Century Studios, as well as what Ridley Scott's cryptic comments on his own Alien sequel might be.

Sit back, relax and listen as Jaime, Patrick, Perry, Andie, Xander, Adam and Holden jump right into what the future could be.
