Alien 1301: Intro to Xenomorph Biology

The first episode of our Alien Arc in which we discuss the ideas and themes behind and which weave together Prometheus, Covenant, and Alien. Man's hubris as a result of his dominion of animal and nature is juxtaposed with an existential fear of losing that coveted position to... a perfect organism. Join Shaun and Sergio as they begin their deep dive into all things Xenomorph!

A link to the mentioned LiveJournal post; our gratitude to Cavalorn for taking the time to write down his interesting theories. Also, check out the book Shaun mentioned - Becoming Alien: The Beginning and End of Evil in Science Fiction's Most Idiosyncratic Film Franchise by Sarah Welch-Larson.
