40 Years of Bad Road: Could Aliens Be Made Today?
21 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 26 min
Aliens is often cited as a sort of cinematic miracle: a sequel that lives up to (and, to some, even surpasses) the original; a film that takes chances with sacred source material and succeeds with hardcore fans; and an artistic statement that says important things about the human condition while still having loads of mass-audience appeal. Lees meer
Will all that being said: could a film like Aliens be made in 2026? Join the PO Crew for a big ol' roundtable as they discuss!

ALIENS: 40 Years of Bad Road | Series Kickoff
12 mei 2026 · 1 uur 8 min
As we approach the 40th anniversary of James Cameron's seminal film, Aliens, the Perfect Organism Podcast Strategy Team sat down to record a kick off episode. Lees meer
What we all agree on is that Aliens feels like home. It's the sequel that made the series into what it is today. Aliens endures because the characters endure. That's a testament to James Cameron's writing.
As amazing as Aliens is, did it set up the rest of the series for failure? Can lightning-in-a-bottle happen again? If yes, how does it? We discuss these questions and more.
As usual this was a hell of a fun time for all involved.

299 // The Men of the Alien Saga
18 februari 2026 · 1 uur 24 min
A lot has been said—and rightfully so—about Ripley and how important she is to the history of the perception of women in Hollywood stories. Lees meer
But it's worth noting the many progressive, complex, and well-rendered male characters who also make the Alien series so special.
Whether it's Dallas' steady leadership, Hicks' quiet kindness, or Dillon's redemptive (or is it?) arc, the Alien saga has many male characters worth celebrating.
Today, Jaime, Patrick, Perry, Andie, and Micah do just that!

298 // ALIEN 3 | The Dream Theory
4 februari 2026 · 1 uur 12 min
In this episode, Patrick, Jaime, Perry, Andie and Micah discuss the "dream theory" that's surrounded Alien 3 since it's storied release in 1992. Why does this theory exist? What's behind it? We all try to answer these questions in our own way as re-engage a film that continues to be fiercely controversial while also gathering more support as each year passes. As with so many of our conversations, this was a spirited panel, and we hope you enjoy.

291 // The Inside Story of Alien: Earth, From the People Who Made It
25 oktober 2025 · 5 uur 11 min
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. Lees meer
Presented here, for the first time as a single, cohesive audio documentary, are interviews with twenty-one of the key creatives who brought Alien: Earth to life. In approximate order of appearance, you'll hear:
Jeff Russo (Composer)
Maggie Phillips (Music Supervisor)
David Rysdahl ("Arthur")
Babou Ceesay ("Morrow")
Richa Moorjani ("Zaveri")
Sandra Yi Sencindiver ("Yutani")
Kit Young ("Tootles")
Ugla Hauksdóttir (Director of Episodes 4 and 6)
Samuel Blenkin ("Boy Kavalier")
Alex Lawthor ("Hermit")
Lily Newmark ("Nibs")
Jonathan Ajayi ("Smee")
Adarsh Gourav ("Slightly")
Dana Gonzalez (Director of Episodes 2, 3, 7, and 8; DP; EP)
Steve Painter (Lead Prosthetics Supervisor)
Wētā Workshop's Joe Dunckley and Vaughan Flanagan
Cameron Brown (Creature Suit Performer)
Andy Nicholson (Production Designer)
Erana James ("Curly")
Noah Hawley (Creator; Director of 1 and 5; Writer, EP)
A handful of the actors came back at multiple points throughout the season, so you will get to hear from them at various points as well!
We are hugely grateful to FX for helping facilitate all of these. Alien: Earth is now a piece of Alien history; having this sort of access in real time as it released was an unprecedented treat for us, and we're so happy we've been able to take all of YOU along on this journey with us!

290 // Directing the Dark: The Future of ALIEN
20 oktober 2025 · 1 uur 24 min
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 weight of what came before. Lees meer
They also turn their focus to the future: who might take the director’s chair for the next Alien film, and whether the franchise can still surprise us in the way it once did. It’s a lively, impassioned, and deeply reflective conversation, recorded live on YouTube, about art, vision, and the fragile state of an iconic saga.
The Alien universe stands at a crossroads, full of promise, yet shadowed by hesitation. There’s still so much left to explore, if only the right hands are willing to reach into the dark.

Minisode: Interviewing Alien: Earth Music Supervisor Maggie Phillips and Composer Jeff Russo
22 augustus 2025 · 15 min
We're releasing this as special bonus content for our recent episode of UnEarthed: a wonderful little interview with Maggie Phillips and Jeff Russo, Alien: Earth's Music Supervisor and Composer, respectively! Lees meer
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 couple months after his first appearance on Perfect Organism to take us behind some of his already iconic music cues, giving us a glimpse into his creative process.
We're looking forward to bringing you more of these glimpses inside the making of Alien: Earth throughout the season. We will always be diligent to ensure any "spoilers" are only for the episodes in our most recent UnEarthed installments, so don't worry about accidentally walking into something you didn't know was coming.
Make sure you tune in to the audio version of UnEarthed (as well as joining us on the livestreams at 9:15pm EST!), as that's where we'll be putting lots of interview excerpts in the coming weeks. We can't wait to share them with you!

285 // Interviewing Alien: Earth Stars Sydney Chandler and Babou Ceesay
27 juli 2025 · 15 min
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! Lees meer
It was an utterly surreal moment: talking about Alien: Earth inside the recreated USCSS Maginot crash site with two of the actors who have brought this series to life. It's been a long wait—five years, give or take!—but we are finally arriving at the premiere of Alien: Earth, and we're tremendously excited to bring you this little inside look at it.
NO SPOILERS!!

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. Lees meer

23 juli 2025 · 46 min
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. Lees meer
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, television, and video games in the 2000s.

In today's interview, Jeff recounts in vivid detail his love for the Alien series, his creative relationship with Noah Hawley, and so much more.
A special note: Jeff is premiering two tracks from Alien: Earth two days before the show premieres on FX, and he'd love to see you there! Details and tickets can be found at: https://creationentertainment859.activehosted.com/index.php?action=social&c=4232&m=4690
