Send us a textCruisevember is here. An entire month of Tom Cruise. To kick it off, Shawn and Colin welcome back guest Lee Conrad to discuss the 80s Ridley Scott fantasy flick 'Legend'. We primarily focus on the Director's Cut but compare it quite a bit to the theatrical cut. We discuss the brilliance of Tim Curry, the make-up and sets that are next level, bubbles, the seemingly small epic and so much more. Is this a movie more people should be celebrating?

In this bonus episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, host Jamie Benning, that's me... talks with author and filmmaker John Walsh about his new book The Art and Making of Gladiator II. Walsh discusses how he was approached by Abrams Books and Paramount Pictures to chronicle the creation of Ridley Scott's Gladiator sequel, offering rare insights into the production design, visual effects, and creative collaboration behind one of the most ambitious films of the decade. The conversation explores how Walsh handled the challenge of documenting a still-in-production movie, his access to thousands of behind-the-scenes images, and the process of balancing art direction, photography, and storytelling in an official studio book. We also look ahead to Walsh's next project — a deep dive into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and reflect on the enduring value of physical “making-of” books in today's digital film culture.BUY THE BOOK HEREThis podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

In this episode, PlanningxChange travels to Vietnam to speak with Olivier Souquet, French architect and co-founder of DE-SO Asia, a Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)-based design studio renowned for projects that weave together climate, culture, and poetic sensibility. Since establishing DE-SO Asia in 2016, Olivier has guided a diverse body of work across Vietnam—from rural schools and urban housing to major civic and cultural landmarks, including the new City Planning Exhibition Center in Ho Chi Minh City. His practice embraces both rigorous environmental awareness and a deep respect for local materials, topography, and traditions. Olivier discusses his architectural philosophy—shaped by influences such as Édouard Glissant's call to “act in your place, think with the world”—and the realities of designing in Vietnam's tropical context, where rain, heat, and humidity shape the rhythm of daily work. He reflects on building responsibly in a time of ecological change, how poetic gestures sustain creativity, and why uncertainty (“Au Vietnam, rien n'est jamais sûr”) is part of the country's charm and challenge. This is a conversation about architecture as adaptation, empathy, and imagination—rooted in place yet globally aware.

Everyone longs for the glory days—that moment in life or career when everything clicked and it felt like you couldn't miss. On this episode, we're talking about actors and filmmakers who decided, decades later, to try and capture that magic again. From Tom Cruise revving back up as Maverick, to Michael Keaton slipping on the wig and makeup for Beetlejuice once more, to icons like Harrison Ford, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Mark Hamill stepping back into their legendary roles—we're digging into what it means when stars revisit past hits. We also look at directors like Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, and Roland Emmerich returning to the worlds that made them famous, and comic book legends Frank Miller, Chris Claremont, and Jim Starlin revisiting their signature creations and stories. Oh, and we've got a confession about this version of Sidebar that fits right in with this theme. Plus, we ask: – What really drives these creative run-backs—fan service, nostalgia, or the quest for relevance? – Do these returns add to a legacy, or water it down? – And is there any "nostalgia porn" we'd actually welcome?

Discover the visionary world of Jean Henri Gaston Giraud—also known as Gir but better known as Moebius, a master of cosmic comics—in this podcast episode. Join us for an interview with his children, Nausicaa and Raphael, as they discuss the enduring legacy of their father, a trailblazer whose surreal artistry reshaped science fiction. We met at the France Pavilion at the Frankfurt Book Fair and recorded at the Galaxy Press booth discussing his legacy as well as their own stories with their father. Moebius co-founded Heavy Metal Magazine and served as a founding judge for Illustrators of the Future, even illustrating Jo Beverly's story in Writers of the Future Vol. 4. His seminal "The Long Tomorrow" ignited Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, with Scott later confessing, "You see it everywhere... you can't get away from it." George Lucas hailed Moebius's "sheer beauty" in designs for Willow, while Hayao Miyazaki, a lifelong friend, credits Arzach's "awesome sense of space" for inspiring Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind—echoed in the name of Giraud's own daughter.

“All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain.”A Legacy of Light and ShadowCinematographer Jeff Cronenweth joins Movies We Like hosts Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to explore Ridley Scott's groundbreaking 1982 film Blade Runner. As the son of the film's original cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth, Jeff brings a unique perspective on both the technical achievements and lasting influence of this sci-fi noir masterpiece. With his recent work on Tron: Ares hitting theaters, Cronenweth reflects on how Blade Runner continues to inspire filmmakers and cinematographers four decades later.From early experiences on film sets with his father to becoming David Fincher's go-to cinematographer on films like Fight Club, The Social Network, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Cronenweth has built a career focused on visual storytelling that serves character and narrative. He describes his approach as seeking human stories within any genre, whether period drama or science fiction. His transition from film to digital cinematography reflects broader industry changes, while maintaining his commitment to thoughtful, story-driven imagery.The conversation explores how Blade Runner created its influential neo-noir aesthetic with remarkably limited technical resources, including just three xenon lights for its iconic beam effects and borrowed neon lights from Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart set. Cronenweth shares insights into the film's production challenges and creative solutions, from practical lighting techniques to Ridley Scott's visionary production design. The discussion examines how the film balances its high-concept science fiction premise with intimate character moments, creating a template for genre storytelling that continues to resonate. Cronenweth also offers perspective on the various cuts of the film and its 2017 sequel.Through this engaging conversation, Cronenweth illuminates not just the technical mastery behind Blade Runner, but its enduring impact on cinema. His unique connection to the film through his father, combined with his own distinguished career, offers viewers fresh insights into this landmark work of science fiction and its continuing influence on visual storytelling.

If you've never seen G.I. Jane, you might know it as a punchline, an epithet, or shorthand for a certain kind of movie -- or a certain kind of woman. But watching G.I. Jane in 2025, you see a portrait of fierce tenacity and genuine strength, all baked into a Ridley Scott action war drama. Actor Katy O'Brian -- who is absolutely on fire right now, and the list of things you'd know her from grows ever longer -- saw in Demi Moore's character, Jordan, a rare glimpse of something she recognized in herself. She's a character who pulls no punches, deserves her place among the boys, and commands respect just by being true to her goals and skills. She and Jordan get into all that, plus some of Katy's recent work, especially Maintenance Required and Queens of the Dead.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a new Tubi original from Danishka Esterhazy, MATCH. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.
“Worldbuilding is how humans make sense of the world. It's how we learn to play.” — Chris Eyerman Worldbuilding is how imagination permeates and becomes culture. It's the practice of creating meaning people can experience and belong to. In this episode of Object Subject Form, Simon speaks with Chris Eyerman, creative director, worldbuilder, and business architect shaping the future of storytelling through sport, media, and technology. As the founder of TRBLMKR Sports and creative lead for Luka Dončić's brand 77X, Chris is redefining what it means to build worlds around athletes, bridging creativity, commerce, and community. Before founding TRBLMKR, Chris helped pioneer transmedia storytelling alongside Ridley Scott at 3AM, turning films like Prometheus and Alien: Covenant into immersive digital experiences. He later led TikTok's Creative Lab, guiding the platform's creative direction during its rise to a billion users and changing how culture spreads online. Together, Simon and Chris explore how worldbuilding extends beyond film and gaming into fandom, brand ecosystems, and personal identity. They discuss the tension between creativity and business, the power of empathy in leadership, and why understanding both emotion and structure is essential to meaningful storytelling. The episode centers around the athlete-creator economy, the psychology of building trust and lore around people, and how new technologies, from AI to social platforms, are expanding the relationship between creators, culture, and ownership. This conversation is about designing culture, and how the worlds we build shape what people believe in, belong to, and build next. – Chris' Website: https://chriseyerman.com/ – Connect with Chris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chriseyerman/ – Lore Drops Substack: https://loredrops.substack.com/ – TRBLMKR Sports: https://www.trblmkr.co/ – Connect with Simon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonclowes/ – Object Subject Form on Instagram: https://instagram.com/objectsubjectform

Fresh from their virtual set visit, they walk you through an array of exclusive behind-the-scenes imagery, offering a rare glimpse into the making of Amazon's long-awaited series.

Alien: Earth is an American science fiction horror television series created by Noah Hawley. It is the first television series in the Alien franchise and is set two years before the events of the 1979 film Alien. The series stars Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adarsh Gourav, and Timothy Olyphant in main roles.Development for the series was reported to have begun in early 2019, with Ridley Scott attached to executive produce for FX on Hulu. It had started pre-production by April 2023, with Chandler cast in the lead role the following month, and further casting taking place from July to November that year. After principal photography was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production began in July 2023 but was halted in August due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Filming resumed in April 2024 and ended in July that year.Alien: Earth premiered on FX and FX on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ internationally on August 12, 2025.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Send us a textA familiar song whispers across space, a colony ship veers off plan, and an android decides he wasn't built to serve—he was built to create. Our conversation dives straight into Alien: Covenant's sharpest hooks: why the crew gambles 2,000 sleeping lives on a “better” world, how the black pathogen evolves from mystery to method, and why David's transformation is the franchise's most unsettling idea since the chestburster. We keep it human, too—ownership of a choice that can't be undone and the quiet ways nostalgia becomes a trap.We compare David and Walter as a living argument about purpose: obedience versus authorship, stability versus ambition, care versus control. From that first sterile room to the flute duet and the mirrored stare-downs, the film reframes Prometheus with dread and clarity. You'll hear how the neomorphs raise the stakes on body horror, why the lander med-bay sequence works so well, and what Covenant's rules imply about spores, plants, and engineered evolution. We also pull in deep-lore threads from the novelizations—Engineers, ancient eggs, and antediluvian hints that Earth itself weathered a cataclysm before the stars called us outward—plus the corporate gravity of Weyland-Yutani shaping colonization.If you're ranking the Alien films, this one may shift your list. It feels like a bridge and a blade: Alien's atmosphere, Aliens' urgency, Prometheus's scope, converging on the question that lingers long after the credits—what happens when a creator decides the most humane act is to perfect the organism, no matter the cost? Join us, weigh in on David vs. Walter, and tell us where Covenant lands on your list.

After last week's episode on Apollo 13 we decided to double up on space mission movies that don't go as planned, and break down the 2015 Ridley Scott film, The Martian. This is one of those movies that we've seen many times over the last 10 years, it is very rewatchable and it was very enjoyable spending some time chatting about it. Enjoy!
On this episode, we talk about one of the best Ridley Scott movies there is, Alien. We talk about the masterpiece choices behind Alien, Ridley Scott, practical effects, the cast from Sigourney Weaver to Ian Colm, and so much more!
Welcome back to The Movie Draft House! We're continuing our year-long theme of "one degree of separation" where each new film we review has to have some connection to the previous weeks' film.

We're back from our mid-season hiatus! My great pal, author Jed Ayres returns to the podcast once again to explore one of his favorite topics: the hair of Andy Garcia! Lol, no, seriously, while he is admittedly "fascinated" & somewhat obsessed with the man's gorgeous head of hair, over the years, the two of us bonded over our love of Garcia calling Michael Douglas "babe" in Ridley Scott's wild homoerotic action movie BLACK RAIN, having a snowcone fight in 8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE, & so much more. In this rollicking episode, we tackle a trio of the actor's lesser known &/or lesser discussed works, including INTERNAL AFFAIRS (1990), THE GODFATHER: PART III (1990), & DESPERATE MEASURES (1998), & break down the mane & mystique of Andy Garcia, who's one of our favorite cinematic presences, "hair actors"*, & purposeful shouters!*copyright Jed Ayres!Originally Posted on Patreon (10/8/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140767594Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fiTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive
ALIEN EARTH — Cuando la invasión no viene del espacio, sino del suelo que pisamos En este episodio de La Guarida, nos metemos de lleno en la ciencia ficción más inquietante con Alien Earth, una historia que combina la paranoia ecológica con el terror cósmico. Porque... ¿y si el verdadero enemigo no llegara del espacio, sino que siempre hubiera estado aquí, bajo nuestros pies? Nuestros intrépidos exploradores galácticos de hoy: Miguel Ángel, que sospecha que los aliens ya han tomado el control de su comunidad de vecinos. Mario, el hombre que ve referencias lovecraftianas hasta en los anuncios del detergente. Asier, El Mamado Lidel, dispuesto a enfrentarse a cualquier organismo extraterrestre armado solo con su sarcasmo y una camiseta ajustada. Y como si fuera poco, al final del programa se unen dos voces invitadas desde el Holistic Podcast: Pedro, aportando su análisis meticuloso y esa calma que solo alguien que ha visto demasiadas películas de Ridley Scott puede mantener. Corleone, que deja claro que si los aliens invaden, él se apunta al bando que tenga mejor banda sonora. Entre teorías sobre la naturaleza de la vida, conspiraciones biológicas , debatimos sobre cómo Alien Earth combina lo mejor del sci-fi clásico con la angustia muy humana de no entender el planeta en el que vivimos. Ciencia, misterio, humor y más referencias cinéfilas de las que tu cerebro puede procesar en una sola escucha. Bienvenido a otro viaje sin retorno por los confines de La Guarida del Sith.
Story 1: Will breaks down the media's lackluster coverage on recent anti-ICE violence and reacts to CNN's disastrous interview with Stephen Miller. Then, Turning Point USA Contributor Savanah Hernandez joins to share her firsthand experience covering Antifa demonstrations in Portland, OR. Story 2: Founder of ‘Early Vote Action' Scott Presler helps Will break down the rising rates of political violence across the nation in the wake of resurfaced text messages from Virginia Attorney General Candidate Jay Jones, and why Left-wing voters don't seem to care. Presler then explains why it's crucial for conservatives to commit to early voting in major battleground states. Story 3: Following his experience covering anti-ICE protests in Portland, OR as well, FOX News Columnist David Marcus describes incidents of violence he witnessed against reporters and law enforcement officers alike. Then, Will and David compare how red and blue states differ when it comes to honoring their ancestral heritage, from BBQ traditions to some blue cities being seemingly devoid of children. In ‘Final Takes,' Will and The Crew tackle the day's hottest stories from the Founder of 'The Free Press' Bari Weiss being named Editor in Chief of CBS News and acclaimed film director Ridley Scott lambasting the modern film industry, to Dak Prescott's low placement on a recent power ranking from 'The Athletic.'

Send us a textA pristine expedition, a desperate billionaire, and an android who studies humans like insects—Prometheus gives us a creation story wrapped in a horror spiral, and we dive straight into the deep end. We open with the curveball: does this actually belong in Alien canon? From the black goo's chaotic mutations to that unforgettable med-pod sequence, we unpack how Ridley Scott trades “truckers in space” for clinical dread without losing the series' body-horror bite.We spend time with David, because Fassbender's performance is the film's moral compass and its moral hazard. His curiosity feels colder than any xeno, and his choices—spiking a drink, testing limits—mirror the film's larger question: what happens when creation outruns conscience? From there we track the branching biology of LV-223, the hammerpedes, the proto-xenomorph “deacon,” and why those outcomes read like a parallel strain rather than a single neat origin. That framing lets us connect the Engineers to LV-426 without forcing contradictions, keeping the franchise's mystery alive.The conversation also hits the big ideas the movie can't stop chasing: stolen fire, makers who fail their creations, and a scientist who keeps her cross because an answer only opens a bigger door. We weigh fan frustration against a growing cult appreciation, spotlight the ensemble (Theron, Elba, Rapace), and call out the moments that strain logic while still serving theme. If you love Alien for the dread and the design but stayed for the questions, this one's for you.Enjoy the episode, then tell us where Prometheus lands in your franchise ranking.

Ana and Dan land on an Earth-like planet and don't think it's suspicious at all. Touch things! Don't wear masks! What could go wrong? Part of our comprehensive coverage of the Alien franchise (by which I mean, I made Dan watch it), Alien: Covenant is notable mainly for Ridley Scott's surface-level capitulation to audience wishes (more xenomorph, less God stuff!) while still engineering a sizeable "f--- you" into the subtext. Also, Michael Fassbender fingers his flute. There is some IR in this movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We break down the good, the bad, and the “because the plot said so” moments, diving deep into the show's visuals, pacing, and questionable science.From deep space to Earth, the Alien legacy continues — but is this one worth surviving?Follow us on our socials for more out-of-this-world pop culture breakdowns!https://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads (run by Neil)https://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78/ (Neils Insta)https://www.instagram.com/weneededroads (run by David)https://bsky.app/profile/llongd.bsky.social@llongd.bsky.socialhttps://x.com/Life_onMarsz (Maries Twitter)https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX (Maries Podcast 2 Girls 1 Reusable Cup)https://x.com/aspanishjoe (Joses Twitter)https://www.jlopezphotos.com/ (Joses Photography Site)https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos/ (Joses Insta)Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjbFund our quest for a Deloreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/WeneededroadsNew episodes mostly every week...mostlySubscribe for more Movie and TV reviewsWhat did you think of Alien: Earth?

We're rereleasing Bald Move's coverage of The Martian (2015) in honor of the film's 10th anniversary! Check out the Matt Damon poster photos here! Jim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott's "The Martian" last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it. Note, the first part of the podcast is spoiler free, but then when we say we're about to spoil things, that's your cue to get out while the getting is good. Along the way, we talk about the trailers we saw for The Revenant, The Big Short, Joy, and Concussion. If you are still hungry for more Martian goodness, might I recommend reading Andy Weir's original book (The Martian) the film is based on? Then, I'd proceed to reading Robert Zubrin's A Case For Mars, upon which most of the science of the book and film are based upon. And if that's not enough, check out the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. Hey there!

While Jennifer is on a parent student weekend, am replaying one of our more popular episodes... over 4500 folks have seen it - it is second part of an interview with Robert Towne, the screenwriter, on the flipside (my old boss) and a discussion of Napoleon and a visit with Charles Grodin and Luana Anders. Here's the original liner notes from a year ago in August of 2024... First; Jennifer's got another one of her Uncorked events in Manhattan Beach - tickets are available, for sixty bucks one gets a glass of wine, two hours with her and others who all get spoken to. The events are fun and easy to attend. UncorkedWineShops.com https://uncorkedwineshops.com/medium-monday-tickets/ For ticket info: JenniferShaffer.com This is a continuation of our conversation with Robert Towne, my old boss who left the stage last week. Jennifer mentions how she was walking on the beach the other day and Robert (and his dog Hira) appeared walking next to her... Jennifer did a number of sessions with Robert and so she's used to communicating with him. In this episode, I'm continuing with my list of questions to ask him about - people that we spoke with before, people offstage and if he has messages for people onstage. In this case, Robert was doing a rewrite or polish for a script about Napoleon (I don't know if it was his own, or it was for someone else, like Ridley Scott as Robert wrote "Days of Thunder" for his brother Tony. Comes to mind - when his brother Tony passed, we were doing this research, and Robert asked me about his passing, so we did a session asking Tony what happened. It's in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE. Either way - I want to point something out. We accessed Napoleon and his friend Betsy Balcombe in a previous session - it might be in print instead of in the podcast list - that would be in BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2 or 3 - and in that instance, she identified herself as Napoleon's friend, and when asked whether he died of natural causes or was "poisoned" we heard her say it was poison. (or not from natural causes). In this episode, I ask Robert if he's had a chance to ask Napoleon about the accuracy of that, and the answer is the word "wife." For those paying attention, that could be the wife of Napoleon (who was having an affair back in Paris, had two children with that fellow and married him) that could be the wife of Balcombe, but his family left St. Helena before Napoleon died, it could be "Fanny" the wife of one of his lieutenants he made a pass at, and nearly jumped off a ship at the thought of being stuck on St. Helena with him - or it could have been any number of wives on the island, as apparently, he'd have flings with quite a few. Wild and crazy guy. But in reading the A. Robert's autobiography of him, it's clear that he died of stomach cancer. The doctors did an autopsy, it's the same disease his father died of - and it's clear to me that is what he died of. "It was a miracle he didn't die from it earlier." In terms of this kind of research, asking questions and getting answers, because I've been doing this for 8 years weekly, I have to allow that it's possible I was asking the wrong question, it's possible that Napoleon was trying to steer the conversation to another topic (like "It was my wife Josephine that caused me to have agita which turned into stomach cancer") or it could be that the word "wife" meant something else altogether. It's important to note this - because I'm asking leading questions and I could be leading the medium into an area where they are trying to answer my questions based on what they're getting from the flipside. (I've seen people do this, and likely I have done it before as well.) Jennifer says what she hears, senses, or visualizes. Why he answered "wife" is subject to more questions - because I could revisit the conversation and point out that it was cancer that took his life, so what's he pointing to a wife or his wife, or someone else's wife? Either way - this is one of those things that make people say "well it's all subject to conjecture" so therefore it's pointless to ask questions. But clearly Robert was able to express who Rudy the Rank was, and Charles Grodin is able to express his opinions about the movie we were watching. Either way - we do this work to encourage people to explore on their own - to ask questions, to gauge the answers, to ask more questions and see what one can learn. If one doesn't want to they don't have to - but clearly if one does want to communicate, they can. Just research the answers (as I've done here.) Hope this helps.
Twenty years ago, director Ridley Scott returned to the historical epic, the same genre that won him an Oscar in 2000 for Gladiator. Swapping the Roman colosseum for the Middle East in the time of the Crusades, Scott assembled an all-star cast including Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, Brendan Gleeson, Liam Neeson, and an uncredited Edward Norton. A post-9/11 movie about Christians fighting Muslims would have seemed an easy win at the box office, but the film performed poorly stateside while doing well in Arabic-speaking countries, especially Egypt. Scott blamed the failure on studio meddling; he has since disowned the theatrical cut, and claims instead that his director's cut is the definitive version. But art, like peace in the Middle East, can be elusive. Join us as we walk into battle with the Lord for Kingdom of Heaven.

In space, no one can hear you scream. On Earth, however, around 9pm for the last seven or eight Tuesdays, you may well hear some shrieks of terror, emanating from nearby apartment windows – all thanks to one of the boldest and blood-soaked sci-fi shows to grace the small screen in recent memory. Alien: Earth is the new show from our guest today, Noah Hawley and it's a masterclass in philosophical sci-fi. You probably don't need to be told of the cultural significance of the Alien franchise, which began back in 1979 with Ridley Scott's tale of a crew of space truckers hunted by an extraterrestrial killing machine. You certainly don't need to tell Noah, who knew precisely the risks involved in bringing Xenomorphs to TV for the first time. Luckily, this is a writer, director and novelist we're talking about who's turned major movie IP into surprise TV smashes before. With five seasons of a brilliant TV adaptation of Fargo behind him, the 58-year-old understood the assignment in front of him. This week, the first season of the show reached its violent climax, capping the first chapter in the tale of Wendy – a terminally-ill child plunged into the body of a synthetic human adult, and subsequently caught up in a fight between corporations for five dangerous alien specimens. Listen in for Noah's spoiler-filled revelations about the real-world inspirations behind its power-hungry trillionaire antagonists. Discover more about the huge swing for the fences the show takes in its final two episodes involving Wendy and a Xenomorph. And finally, learn what the future perhaps holds for these characters, with season two as yet unconfirmed…Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.
