Podcasts about Xenomorph

Welcome back to A Storm of Spoilers! With their coverage of Andor complete, Da7e and Neil turn their attention to another iconic sci-fi franchise as they await the arrival of Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth. In this season one preview episode, they discuss what they know so far about the show's plot before unpacking what they learned from its well-moderated San Diego Comic-Con panel. They then consider some of the big questions they'd like to see answered about Xenomorphs, synthetic humanoids, space-faring cats, and much more in The Calm [04:58] before diving into some light spoiler territory in The Storm [42:12]. Next week, Alien: Earth kicks off with a two-episode season premiere on Tuesday, August 12th, on FX and Hulu. New pods will drop on Wednesday afternoons!

Pod People, your intrepid hosts both turned 40 this year, and we decided that called for celebration! How are we celebrating on the pod? We each picked one of our all-time favorite horror films to revisit and discuss in depth. First up is Nikki's pick - Ridley Scott's Alien (1979). Join us as we explore space in the Nostromo, ogle over mama-Xenomorph's wet-wet-wet grandeur, and empathize with the shit Jonesy has seen (poor kitty!). We discuss Sigourney Weaver's killer performance, the use of offal and milk for practical effects, and why the film endures as a personal favorite of ours.Twitter - @HorrorMarginsFacebook - @HorrorInTheMarginsPodcastInstagram - @horrorinthemarginsTikTok - @horrorinthemarginsIf there's a movie you'd like us to review or a creator you'd like us to interview, send us an email at horrorinthemargins@gmail.com.

Join Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey on The Commentary Booth this week as they deep-dive into Alien: Earth, the bold new sci-fi horror series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley.Set two years before Ridley Scott's 1979 classic, this prequel crashes a space vessel into Earth and unleashes the iconic Xenomorphs on our home planet for the first time. But what truly sets Alien: Earth apart isn't just the horror; it's the scope of the expanded lore, which provides a rich political backdrop, morally grey technology, and a fresh cast that might just rival Ripley's legacy.In this spoiler-free review of Episodes 1–6, Jamie and Corrina explore the show's cinematic scale, its clever integration into the Alien timeline, and its morally complex characters (especially a chilling tech-corp twist on Peter Pan).Highlights Breakdown: - First Impressions – Does Alien: Earth live up to the hype? Jamie and Corrina debate its place in the Alien timeline. - Xenomorph Mayhem – The return of practical effects, gnarly new creatures, and brutal violence that rivals the films. - Timeline Deep Dive – Where does this fit in the Alien universe? (Spoiler: It's before Ripley's story!) - Hybrid Horror – The shocking introduction of synthetic-human hybrids and their dark origins. - Killer Soundtrack – Why the end-credit songs and eerie opening sequences are a standout feature.With a $250 million budget, visceral practical effects, and horrifying new alien specimens (yes, including an eyeball-octopus), Alien: Earth is more than a prequel. It's a full-on world-building reinvention.This week's episode is brought to you by:Australian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Mark and Norbert discuss the 1986 classic Aliens. Directed by James Cameron, and starring Sigourney Weaver, Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, and lots of goo, the movie focuses on what happens when the Weyland-Yutani Corporation makes another greedy mistake. In this episode, they also talk about James Cameron, smart ideas, and alien goo. Enjoy!

In space, no one can hear you… collect? In this episode of Cracktastic Plastic, we're diving headfirst into the ooze-dripping, face-hugging, chest-bursting world of the Kenner Aliens toy line! Released in the early '90s, these wild and wildly inaccurate figures were based on the hard-R horror franchise Aliens—yet somehow aimed squarely at kids. From the unforgettable Xenomorph variants like the Bull Alien and Scorpion Alien to the heroic Space Marines and their massive firepower, this line was pure creature-feature chaos in plastic form. Join us as we break down the figures, vehicles, and playsets, relive our favorite memories, and discuss why this bizarre and bold toy line still holds a special place in the hearts (and collections) of '90s kids and sci-fi fans alike. Acid blood not included. Then we talk about Blast From The Past Toys, Comics, and Games to see if we should go there someday.

Welch ein Frevel... Kuehne hat für diese Folge mit Kathi von "In the Mood for Mubi" gesprochen, die, und das ist kaum zu glauben, noch nie das Science-Fiction-Meisterwerk "Aliens - Die Rückkehr" gesehen hat. Wie es dazu kommen konnte und was der Film fast 40 Jahre nach seiner Veröffentlichung bei Kathi ausgelöst hat, das besprechen die beiden gemeinsam im Podcast. Ob Kathi den guten Kuehne in seiner Meinung zum Film bestätigen wird? Oder lässt sie ihn womöglich sprachlos zurück? Findet es heraus!

Big Rich, TD, and Fletch dive fang-first into a heated debate over the greatest movie monsters of all time—Draculas, Xenomorphs, and everything in between. Then things get weird as they explore the science of drunk bees (yes, it's real). TD updates us on his ongoing war with the HOA, and Rich shares his top-secret formula for the perfect glass of chocolate milk. It's part horror, part honey, and 100% hilarious.

”I rymden kan ingen höra dig skrika” är en av filmvärldens mest kända taglines. När Ridley Scott 1979 tog oss med på rymdskeppet Nostromo och släppte loss sin blodtörstiga Xenomorph skapade han filmhistoria. Idag är den klaustrofobiska skäcken en etablerad skräckgenré. James Cameron byggde ut världen med sin uppföljare Aliens och fansen har därefter suktat... Read more »

From Xenomorphs to ETs: Which Alien Species is the Best? This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl boldly go into the sci-fi vault to debate the most creative alien species in the galaxy. Think Na'vi spirituality meets Xenomorph acid vomit. From hive-minded cybernetic zombies to fire-based art snobs, it's time to crown the weirdest, wildest, most wonderful extraterrestrials in fiction. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Alien, Mine: Alien Showdown… Who’s the Best? Darryl Heptapods (from Arrival) Physical Traits – Appearance: Heptapods are seven-limbed (hence the name “hepta-” meaning seven) creatures with a large, oval-shaped head and a body that appears to be semi-transparent2. – Eyes: They have thousands of small, dime-sized eyes in clusters, which are actually patches of photosensitive skin. – Sensory Perception: They use sophisticated sonar to perceive their environment, allowing them to detect even minute details. Culture – Non-linear Perception of Time: Heptapods experience time non-linearly, meaning they perceive past, present, and future simultaneously. This is reflected in their language and behavior3. – Patience and Long-term Thinking: Their non-linear perception of time gives them a unique perspective on patience and long-term consequences. They are willing to wait for humans to understand their language and purpose4. – Purpose of Arrival: They arrive on Earth to share their language, Heptapod B, which they believe will help humanity understand their non-linear perception of time and potentially aid them in the future. Language – Heptapod A: This is their spoken language, which sounds very organic and is designed to be heard rather than spoken. – Heptapod B: This is their written language, consisting of circular logograms that represent entire concepts or sentences rather than individual words. The meaning of these logograms depends on the tendrils and splotches branching out from their circular rings2. – Impact on Humans: Learning Heptapod B alters the human perception of time, allowing them to experience events out of sequence, similar to how Heptapods perceive time. MorningLightMountain (Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton) Physical Traits: – Prime Bodies: MorningLightMountain’s consciousness inhabits billions of distinct Prime bodies. These bodies are divided into two types: motiles and immotiles1. – Motiles: Motiles can see and move but are relatively unintelligent on their own. – Immotiles: Immotiles are blind and immobile but highly intelligent. They can breed motiles, and four motiles can merge to form a new immotile1. – Wormhole Technology: MorningLightMountain possesses wormhole technology, allowing its bodies to communicate over arbitrarily large distances. Mental Traits: – Hive Mind: MorningLightMountain operates as a hive mind, with a single united consciousness spread across billions of bodies. – Xenophobic and Expansionist: The Primes, including MorningLightMountain, are highly xenophobic and expansionist, seeking to subsume or destroy other species. – Highly Intelligent: Immotiles can link to each other for greater processing power, making MorningLightMountain one of the most powerful Primes. Linguistic Traits: – Non-Verbal Communication: MorningLightMountain primarily communicates non-verbally through its network of bodies. – Radio Transmitters: Primes use implanted radio transmitters to stay wirelessly connected, allowing for long-range communication. Saga of the Seven Suns series (Kevin J Anderson) Hydrogues – Physical Traits: Elemental beings composed of water and gas, often appearing as massive, swirling masses of liquid and vapor. – Culture: Highly territorial and aggressive, especially when their habitats are threatened. They have a deep connection to water and gas. – Language: Communicate through complex patterns of vibrations and waves. Faeros – Physical Traits: Elemental beings associated with fire and light, emitting a warm glow and capable of producing flames. – Culture: Passionate and energetic, valuing creativity and expression. They are often involved in artistic and spiritual pursuits. – Language: Communicate through a combination of spoken language and visual symbols, using their fiery abilities to create intricate patterns and displays. Borg Physical Traits: – Cybernetic Enhancements: The Borg are a collective of various species that have been assimilated and augmented with cybernetic implants. This results in a mix of biological and mechanical features. – Pale Skin: Their skin tends to be pale or grayish due to the integration of technology and loss of individuality. – Mechanical Limbs and Eyes: Many Borg drones have mechanical limbs and/or eyes, often replacing their original biological parts with more efficient cybernetic versions. Culture: – Collective Consciousness: The Borg operate as a hive mind, known as the Collective. Individuality is suppressed, and all drones are connected through a central consciousness. – Assimilation: The primary goal of the Borg is to assimilate other species to enhance their own collective knowledge and capabilities. This is often done forcibly, with the mantra “Resistance is futile.” – Efficient and Methodical: The Borg are highly efficient and methodical in their actions, driven by their collective purpose of achieving perfection. Language: – Communal Communication: The Borg communicate internally through their collective consciousness, sharing thoughts and information instantaneously. – Distinctive Speech Patterns: When speaking externally, the Borg often use a collective “we” to represent their hive mind and have a monotone, emotionless speech pattern. Changelings (Founders) Physical Traits: – Shapeshifters: Changelings are highly advanced shapeshifters capable of assuming any form, from humanoid figures to inanimate objects. – Gelatinous State: In their natural form, Changelings exist as a gelatinous mass, which they revert to when at rest or regenerating. – Golden Hue: Their gelatinous form has a distinctive golden hue. Culture: – Great Link: The Changelings share a deep connection through the Great Link, a shared state where they merge together in their natural form, exchanging thoughts and experiences. – Isolation and Control: Historically, Changelings have sought to isolate themselves from solids (non-shapeshifting species) and control them to protect themselves from persecution and harm. – Founders of the Dominion: Changelings are the ruling species of the Dominion, a powerful political and military alliance in the Gamma Quadrant. They employ the Vorta and Jem’Hadar as their loyal servants to enforce their will. Language: – Universal Communication: Changelings typically communicate in the languages of the species they interact with. Their ability to shapeshift allows them to perfectly mimic speech. – Telepathic Connection: Within the Great Link, communication is telepathic and intuitive, allowing for an exchange of complex ideas and emotions without words. Na’vi (James Cameron Avatar movies) Physical Traits – Height and Build: The Na’vi are tall, standing about 10 feet (3 meters) in height, and have a slender, graceful build. – Blue Skin: They have blue skin with bioluminescent patterns that glow in the dark, helping them blend into their environment. – Four-Fingered Hands: Unlike humans, the Na’vi have four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot. – Cat-like Features: They have large, expressive, golden eyes, pointed ears, and tails, giving them a feline appearance. – Braid with Neural Queue: Each Na’vi has a long braid called a “tswin,” which contains a neural queue that allows them to connect with other creatures and the environment on Pandora.

They have a deep spiritual connection with the flora, fauna, and the planet itself. – Clans and Tribes: The Na’vi are organized into various clans and tribes, each with its own customs and traditions. The Omaticaya clan, for example, resides in the Hometree. – Eywa: The Na’vi worship Eywa, the Great Mother, a deity representing the interconnectedness of all life on Pandora. They believe that Eywa maintains the balance of life. – Rites of Passage: Na’vi culture includes several rites of passage, such as the bonding with a direhorse (pa’li) and a mountain banshee (ikran), which signify one’s transition into adulthood. – Hunting and Gathering: The Na’vi are skilled hunters and gatherers, relying on their environment for sustenance while respecting the creatures they hunt.

Xenomorphs (Alien Franchise) Physical Traits: – Exoskeleton: Xenomorphs have a biomechanical, black exoskeleton that provides them with great durability and a fearsome appearance. – Elongated Skull: They possess an elongated, ridged skull with a lack of visible eyes, giving them a terrifying, eyeless visage. – Inner Jaws: Equipped with a secondary, inner jaw that can extend from their mouths for lethal attacks. – Tail: Their long, muscular tails end in a sharp blade, which they use for both balance and as a weapon. – Acidic Blood: Their blood is highly acidic, capable of burning through metal and other materials. Culture: – Hive Structure: Xenomorphs have a hive-based social structure, with a Queen at the center, responsible for laying eggs and maintaining the population. – Instinct-Driven: They operate primarily on instinct, driven by a need to propagate their species. This includes capturing hosts for their Facehuggers to implant embryos. – Parasitic Life Cycle: Their life cycle involves multiple stages: Egg, Facehugger, Chestburster, and Adult. The Facehugger attaches to a host, implanting an embryo that later emerges violently from the host’s chest as a Chestburster. – Adaptive and Versatile: They can adapt to different environments and hosts, resulting in various Xenomorph types with specific traits influenced by their host species. Language: – Non-Verbal Communication: Xenomorphs communicate non-verbally through body language, pheromones, and hisses or screeches.

Delvians – A sentient plant-based species with blue skin and photokinetic abilities. – Capable of deep meditation and powerful telepathic abilities. – Often have a spiritual or religious focus. – Notable Character: Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan – A Delvian priestess who can use her mind and biochemistry to heal or harm. Scarrans – Reptilian, highly aggressive, and among the most physically powerful species. – Possess natural heat-based abilities, allowing them to intimidate or harm opponents. – Scarrans view themselves as the superior species and often engage in genetic experimentation. – Notable Character: Emperor Staleek – A ruthless leader of the Scarran Empire. Pilots – Large, multi-limbed creatures that are biologically bonded to Leviathans (living ships). – They have a deep connection with their Leviathan and can control their functions. – Notable Character: Pilot – The pilot of Moya, who communicates with the crew and the ship. Leviathans – Living, biomechanical starships that possess sentience. – Generally peaceful but can be forced into servitude by Peacekeeper “Control Collars.” – Notable Character: Moya – The Leviathan that serves as the home and transport for Crichton and his crew. Star Wars (Expanded Universe) Yuuzhan Vong Who Are the Yuuzhan Vong? The Yuuzhan Vong are an extragalactic warrior species who invaded the Star Wars galaxy, triggering the Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY). Unlike most species in Star Wars, they: – Are immune to the Force – Jedi cannot sense them, and their presence in the galaxy caused major upheaval in the Force itself. – Use only organic technology – They abhor droids and mechanical technology, instead using genetically engineered living creatures as weapons, ships, and tools. – Are deeply religious and fanatical – They follow a strict caste system and worship pain as a path to enlightenment. Biology & Appearance – Humanoid, but with ritualistic scarring and tattooing that marks their status in society. – They believe in self-mutilation and pain as a form of religious devotion. – Have a higher pain tolerance than most species. – They view cybernetics and machines as heretical and replace body parts with living biotechnological organisms. Society & Culture The Yuuzhan Vong are organized into a rigid caste system: – The Supreme Overlord – The absolute ruler of their species. – Notable Character: Supreme Overlord Shimrra, who led the invasion of the galaxy. – The Warrior Caste – Devoted soldiers who follow a strict code of honor. – The Priest Caste – Religious leaders who interpret the will of the gods. – The Shaper Caste – Scientists responsible for bioengineering their weapons and technology. – The Intendant Caste – Bureaucrats and administrators. – The Worker Caste – The lowest rank, responsible for labor. Their entire culture revolves around pain, sacrifice, and religious zeal, believing that their gods command them to conquer and purify the galaxy. Yuuzhan Vong Technology (All Organic) – Living Starships (Coralskippers & Worldships) – Instead of metal ships, they use bio-engineered living vessels. – Vonduun Crab Armor – Grown, not manufactured, and is resistant to lightsabers. – Amphistaffs – Living snake-like weapons that function as both swords and whips. – Dovin Basals – Creatures that create miniature black holes to absorb attacks (even deflecting turbolaser fire). – Yorik Coral – Used to construct buildings, ships, and even restrain captives. The Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY) – The Yuuzhan Vong invaded the New Republic, launching a brutal war. – They captured and terraformed many worlds, including turning Coruscant into a massive Yuuzhan Vong ecosystem. – The Jedi, New Republic, and remnants of the Empire had to unite to fight them. – The war ended when Supreme Overlord Shimrra was killed, and his second-in-command, Onimi, was revealed as the real mastermind. – After their defeat, the surviving Yuuzhan Vong were relocated to Zonama Sekot, a living planet. Why Are They So Unique? – They stand out from all other Star Wars villains because they don't use the Force and their biology/technology is completely different from the rest of the galaxy. – They pushed the Jedi to their limits—without the ability to sense them in the Force, traditional Jedi tactics were ineffective. – Their brutality and disregard for machines made them unlike the Sith, the Empire, or any other major villains in Star Wars. Legacy in Star Wars While the Yuuzhan Vong were a major part of Legends, they have not appeared in the Disney canon yet. However, The Clone Wars animated series almost introduced them in a scrapped episode. Falling Skies Espheni (Overlords) – The main antagonists for most of the series. – An advanced, insectoid-like species with a strict hierarchical society. – Possess telepathic abilities and are highly intelligent strategists. – Use a combination of biotechnology and mechanical technology for warfare. – Consider humans an inferior species and attempt to enslave them. – They have an imperialistic nature, having conquered multiple planets before Earth. Notable Espheni: – The Espheni Overlords – Tall, slender, and powerful commanders of the invasion. – The Espheni Queen – The true leader of the invasion, revealed in the final season. Skitters (Arachnids) – Multi-limbed, insectoid creatures used as foot soldiers by the Espheni. – Originally another enslaved species, controlled through neural harnesses attached to their spines. – Many Skitters are loyal to the Espheni, but a rebel faction exists. – Known for high mobility, leaping abilities, and brutal combat skills. Notable Skitters: – Red-Eye – A rebel Skitter who aids the human resistance. – Harnessed Children – Human children forcibly enslaved by the Espheni using a similar mind-controlling harness. The Harnessed – Human (mainly children) captives of the Espheni, controlled through a biomechanical harness attached to their spines. – The harness allows the Espheni to control their minds and enhance their physical abilities. – Over time, harnessed children begin to transform into Skitters themselves. – Ben Mason, the son of protagonist Tom Mason, is partially harnessed but later freed. The Volm – A technologically advanced, humanoid alien species that arrives in Season 3 to help humanity. – They have been at war with the Espheni for generations and seek to liberate Earth. – Use energy-based weapons and powerful war machines. – While allied with humans, their leader, Cochise, warns that they have their own agenda. Notable Volm: – Cochise – The main Volm character, who forms a bond with the humans and helps them fight the Espheni. The Dornia (The Ancient Enemy) – Introduced late in the series as a mysterious aquatic species. – The original victims of the Espheni, nearly wiped out in the past. – Offer limited aid to the human resistance but provide key knowledge for defeating the Espheni Queen. – Their advanced biology allows them to manipulate water-based environments. Final Thoughts – The Espheni are classic conquerors, much like the Yuuzhan Vong (Star Wars) or Scarrans (Farscape), but with an added layer of biotechnology. – The Skitters are tragic figures, originally a peaceful species enslaved by the Espheni. – The Volm act as reluctant saviors, assisting humanity while maintaining their own goals. – The show played with themes of resistance, survival, and moral ambiguity, especially when it came to dealing with harnessed humans.

Trevor Newlin is a Los Angeles based suit actor most notable for his role as the Xenomorph in Alien Romulus. Trevor first discovered his love for theatre while still in high school growing up in Texas. After graduating he went to college for theatre before eventually attending film school in Los Angeles. His initial goal was to get into voice acting, but while he was still in school his professor recommended that he consider suit acting instead due to his unusually tall (6 foot 7 inches) and slender build. Peaking his curiosity Trevor reached out to the legendary suit actor Doug Jones through a simple DM on Instagram and miraculously Doug responded and agreed to a meeting that turned into a conversation lasting over 3 hours long. Taking Doug's advice Trevor found himself meeting make up artists and participating in Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. Things snowballed from there and he has since acted in international ad campaigns for Amazon, been featured in trailers for American Horror Story, wore a Wookie suit in Disney's Mandalorian 2, became a monster in Smile 2, and played his most iconic role of the Xenomorph in Alien Romulus. In this episode we discuss a shared love for thePackers, hosting a podcast during the pandemic, meeting the team at Legacy Effects, becoming the Amazon Yeti, working on the set of Star Wars, taking arguably the most iconic creature role ever for Alien Romulus, and much more.

Case and Sam are joined by DJ Nik to revivify some Xenomorphs!   Overview   In the latest episode of the Another Pass podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea, along with guest DJ Nik, delve into the complexities of "Alien Resurrection," the fourth installment of the renowned Alien franchise. They discuss the film's controversial elements, including its scientific plausibility, character dynamics, and Joss Whedon's unique screenplay style. The conversation highlights the film's shift towards a more campy tone and examines the visual aesthetics brought by director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, particularly the impressive underwater sequences. The hosts critique the character motivations and propose improvements, with Sam suggesting clearer intentions for the scientists and more depth for the space pirates, while Nick proposes focusing primarily on the scientists and Ripley in a more claustrophobic setting. Case adds ideas for restructuring the narrative arc to enhance suspense. The episode concludes with a tease for their next discussion covering "Highlander 2: The Quickening."   Notes Introduction to Alien Resurrection Discussion (00:00 - 10:27) Case Aiken and Sam Alicea host Another Pass podcast with guest DJ Nik They're discussing Alien Resurrection, the fourth film in the Alien franchise Nik introduces himself as a host of multiple podcasts including Whiskey and Cigarettes Case positions this film as less respected than Alien 3, which he previously defended Nick describes his love for the franchise, noting the Xenomorph as 'the greatest creature ever created' He appreciates how each film in the franchise has different directors with different visual styles Sam admits she only watched the Alien films because of the podcast, as she's 'afraid of everything' Plot Elements and Science Issues (10:27 - 20:35) The group discusses the questionable science of cloning Ripley to harvest the alien inside her The movie is set 200 years after Alien 3, with Ripley having died in the previous film Sam suggests the genetic material might have been recovered like in Jurassic Park Case notes the first three films maintained scientific plausibility while this one stretches credibility The movie explores Ripley as a superhuman hybrid, shifting the franchise toward sci-fi adventure Nick points out that Sigourney Weaver was brought back as the flagship character Case questions the scientists' motives for bringing the aliens to Earth Characters and Crew Dynamic (20:35 - 30:37) The movie features a crew of space pirates rather than soldiers or workers as in previous films Sam notes the villain motivations aren't properly established, raising questions about their plans The group questions why the aliens are kept together in cells where they can conspire to escape Nick suggests this is due to 'human hubris' and scientists wanting to study their interactions The movie has a distinct 'Joss Whedon' style, as he wrote the screenplay Case appreciates the lived-in world aesthetic consistent with previous Alien films Sam praises the film's beautiful visuals and camera work despite her criticisms Alien Sequences and Visual Elements (30:38 - 39:45) The underwater sequence with aliens swimming is praised as visually impressive Sam notes the unrealistic breath-holding duration in the underwater scene The group appreciates creative kills and set pieces in the film They discuss how director Jean-Pierre Jeunet brought a different visual style The film is described as more campy than previous entries, closer to a slasher film in space The cast is discussed, with Michael Wincott as the captain and Ron Perlman as an abrasive character Winona Ryder is described as distractingly famous for her role as the android Call The Xenomorphs and Newborn Design (39:45 - 49:46) The aliens show intelligence when escaping their cells by sacrificing one of their own The group discusses the alien queen's live birth ability instead of egg-laying Case questions how this is an 'evolutionary upgrade' when it seems painful and inefficient The newborn hybrid alien design is praised as appropriately freaky and different The theme of motherhood continues from previous films in the franchise Nick points out how the newborn looks more human than regular xenomorphs Sam simply finds the newborn 'gross' and disturbing Improving the Film - Sam's Pitch (49:46 - 01:01:06) Sam suggests clarifying the scientists' motives early in the film She proposes establishing that the main goal is creating super-soldiers like Ripley Sam recommends making the pirates more likeable so viewers care when they die She suggests giving hints about Winona Ryder's character being an android earlier Sam recommends establishing a military base on Earth as the destination for the specimens For the underwater scene, she suggests allowing characters to surface for air occasionally She would keep the film's ending but focus on fixing the first act and character development Nick's Alternative Approach (01:01:06 - 01:10:07) Nick proposes eliminating the space pirates entirely He suggests focusing on scientists, Ripley, and Call (Winona Ryder's character) He recommends a more claustrophobic setting with military presence to explore ethics Nick suggests adding communication between the space station and Earth He proposes showing how Ripley's DNA was extracted to address audience questions Nick mentions that Joss Whedon's original script featured Newt instead of Ripley He wonders how the film might have been different if directed by Danny Boyle, who was approached first Case's Restructuring Proposal (01:10:08 - 01:18:51) Case suggests making the space pirates the focus of the first act, with Winona Ryder as the viewpoint character He proposes revealing Ripley later as a surprise, during the basketball scene He recommends establishing that scientists have been successfully cloning aliens already Case suggests the aliens should have been in captivity longer to justify their escape methods He likes keeping the back half of the movie mostly intact The hosts share that Sigourney Weaver actually made the backward basketball shot in one take They conclude by mentioning their next episode will cover Highlander 2: The Quickening

On today's episode we are LIVE from WonderCon with creature actor, Trevor Newlin! Trevor is best known for his work as the Xenomorph in "Alien: Romulus", The Monstrosity in "Smile 2", a Wookie in The Mandalorian, and most recently the Chip (in demon form) in the 2025 Slamdance hit, "Portal to Hell"! I've become more and more familiar with Trevor's work and was thrilled to have him on the live WonderCon show.  I talked with Trevor about growing up in Texas and his early ambitions of being a paleontologist, what dinosaur he would want to play in Jurassic Park, his fascination with being a voice actor, how he got into creature acting, our mutual love for Doug Jones, getting cast as the Xenomorph, the crazy costume for The Monstrosity, playing demon Richard Kind in Portal to Hell, your Q&A, and more! A huge Thank You to Trevor Newlin for taking the time to make the drive to Anaheim to join me at WonderCon! Also, a huge thank you to everybody who came out to the show and asked questions. All of you had such great questions and it really made it a lot of fun! Make sure to follow Trevor on all of the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com so you can find out what creature he is playing next! Thank you for having us, WonderCon!  Thank you, Trevor!  Enjoy the episode!

How to Survive is now on Patreon! Support us at Patreon.com/HowtoSurvivePod to get every episode one week early, plus monthly bonus episodes and more. It's episode 299…My mommy always said there were no monsters. No real ones. But there are. Alien Resurrection (1997) is the concluding chapter in the Alien Quadrilogy, and introduces Ripley 8, a supercharged Xeno-human hybrid of Ellen Ripley, cloned in a lab to act as a genetic vessel to recover the Xenomorphs from the annals of history 200 years after both they and Ripley were obliterated in molten lava at the end of Alien 3. It really is as simple as that. We settle some unfinished business with the lesser-loved film in one of our favourite franchises, talk about the pros and cons of 90s cool girl action, query the logic of bringing a ticking time bomb along as a passenger, and indeed the logic of firing a continent-sized bomb at Earth to save lives, and marvel at the biggest and best shoulder hair ever captured on film. All of which leads to one question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Ellen Ripley died trying to wipe this species out. For all intents and purposes, she succeeded! Next time on the Patreon, we're covering Jacob's Ladder, ahead of our big episode 300 triple bill on the Fear Street trilogy.

Welcome back to another edition of the Video Store Podcast. In honor of Women's History Month, I've selected four films featuring what I like to call “Wonder Women.” These are women who are brave, kind, strong, and all-around wonderful. This isn't meant to be an exhaustive list—simply four films that resonate with me personally as a woman, and you should watch, whether you're a woman or not. Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)First up is the 1991 Oscar-nominated film, Fried Green Tomatoes. The film stars Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary-Louise Parker, Kathy Bates, and Jessica Tandy, among others. Fried Green Tomatoes is based on the book Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg, who also wrote the first draft of the screenplay. This film flashes between the 1920s and the 1980s, looking at Wonder Women through all stages of life. No matter where you find yourself, Fried Green Tomatoes is a great film to enjoy with the wonderful women in your life. Steel Magnolias (1989)Next up is Steel Magnolias from 1989. Focusing on southern women's culture in the 1980s, Steel Magnolias highlights the friendship among six women who must persevere through difficult circumstances. Starring Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, and Tom Skerritt, Steel Magnolias expertly blends comedy and drama, making a great movie full of Wonder Women. 9 to 5 (1980)The second Dolly Parton film in today's line-up is 9 to 5. The film, in addition to Dolly Parton, features Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dabney Coleman. Highlighting 1980s office politics that are unfortunately still all too relevant today, 9 to 5 tackles serious women's issues with humor, making their points even more effective and poignant. This is a great laugh after the tear-jerking drama after Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes. Alien (1979)The last film in our Wonder Women selections is 1979's Alien directed by Ridley Scott. Starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Yaphet Kotto, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton, and Bolaji Badejo as the Xenomorph, Alien, is a phenomenal sci-fi horror film. Alien's leading wonder woman, Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, is an amazing sci-fi heroine. She's smart, brave, and resourceful, totes a flamethrower, and has a kitty-cat sidekick. What more do you want in a film about a Wonder Woman? We hope you enjoy these films and come back and see us next week on the Video Store Podcast. Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!
