246 // You're Becoming Hysterical: Ten Years of Isolation Part Three
June 18, 2024 21:07 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBOne of the most iconic new elements introduced by Alien: Isolation ten years ago—at least judging by how often it's been referenced in the expanded universe and fan art—is the Working Joe. Unlike their Hyperdyne competitors, Seegson Synthetics' androids are ... rudimentary, to put it mildly. Not only are they utilitarian and cheap, they are outright dangerous. Hilarious as they are terrifying, Working Joes are a major element of any Isolation playthrough. On today's episode, Jaime, Patrick...

242 // ALIEN DAY: Interviewing Christian Kennedy, Director of No Man's Land (2024)
April 26, 2024 16:37 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBThere's a saying in Hollywood: if you want to get your film made, be able to pitch it in an elevator ride. The setup for No Man's Land, Christian Kennedy's mega-hit Alien fan film, is about as pitchable as it gets: "Battlefield I meets Aliens." Of course, a pitch will only get you so far. The execution is where the real magic happens. And Christian's film—which is just under 30 minutes long and has already racked up nearly 4.5 million views—is a masterclass in execution. With killer cinema...

237 // I Hope You Get to Hear It One Day: Ten Years of Isolation Part Two
April 09, 2024 12:45 - 1 hour - 74.3 MBAlien Isolation is a game that captures the essence of Alien in profound ways. But does it stick too close to the film that inspired it? Is Amanda Ripley's story too similar to that of her mother? Spoiler alert: the answer is no. But on this episode, Jaime, Patrick, Christian, and guest CP have a hell of a time coming around to that conclusion. For more on CP and his amazing work on the beloved series Columbo, visit columbophile.com. // Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/perfectorganismitunes // For...

March 12, 2024 19:58 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBTen years have passed since Alien: Isolation first terrified and enthralled us back in 2014.

We are celebrating ten years of this amazing game with a full anniversary series we'll be releasing throughout the year. To kick things off, Jaime, Patrick, Christian, and Perry reflect on the legacy of this landmark entry in the Alien saga. //...
234 // Imagined Futures Part Two: What If Alien 3 Never Happened?
February 27, 2024 23:05 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBDepending on whom you ask, Alien 3 is either the moment the Alien franchise went off the rails or the moment it found its poetry. For many of us, it's both of these things at the same time. But what if it hadn't been made? What if James Cameron had returned to make a more direct sequel to Aliens? Or what if William Gibson's film had made it to the screen? Or what if something entirely new—and even MORE out-there—happened instead? On this roundtable, the whole PO team ponders these question...

February 13, 2024 22:37 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBAliens: Dark Descent takes some wild narrative risks—and the consensus among fans seems to be those risks paid off. In this interview, Christian and Patrick talk to Tindalos Narrative Designer and Writer Thibaut Claudel about his time on the project. We gain some great insights into 20th Century's handling of the IP and how it's changed somewhat since the Disney Era began a few years ago (hint: it's not what you might expect!), and we learn a ton about the process of putting a game like this...

(Special Presentation) FRAME RATE: Godzilla Minus One (2023)
January 20, 2024 15:02 - 55 minutes - 51 MB** For more content like this, join our Patreon at patreon.com/perfectorganism ** 2023 was quite a year at the movies. "Barbenheimer" became a cultural phenomenon. Marvel lost its mojo. And a ten million-dollar subtitled Godzilla movie became the most successful live-action Japanese film in US history. But Godzilla Minus One is so, so much more than just a box office success story. It's a deeply human tale that feels urgently suited to our time in world history. It manages to be both terr...

We hope you all enjoy this episode and thank...

December 05, 2023 22:02 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBMario Benvenuto, the maker behind the popular Wired_Workshop YouTube channel, managed to pull off what many Alien fans would consider a dream project: an Alien-themed escape room.

October 24, 2023 06:59 - 1 hour - 158 MBAfter over eight years in fandom, we at Perfect Organism: The Alien Saga Podcast are releasing our first annual Halloween episode.

Adam's idea was to explore Dan O'Bannon & Ridley Scotts ALIEN by discussing what made it such a watershed moment in cinema history.

225 // Defending Prometheus: A Roundtable Discussion
September 26, 2023 06:59 - 1 hour - 125 MBIn the eleven years since the release of Prometheus a lot has been said about the film. Controversial, divisive, masterpiece, or fumble, there's no disputing that Ridley Scott's storied return to science fiction is one for the film history books. In this episode the PO team is joined by Derek from Alien Theory to 'defend Prometheus' as it were. Is Prometheus a film that needs defending? Where does it sit between the original trilogy of films and Alien Covenant? We attempt to explore all of t...

222 // The Biology of Fear (With Lali DeRosier and Alex White)
August 08, 2023 23:08 - 1 hour - 62.6 MBWelcome to Xeno Bio 101! When Alex White (author of two of the best-received Alien novels in history) mentioned on their previous PO appearance that they had an amazing science advisor named Lali DeRosier—a science teacher, like our very own Andie GeekGirl!—we knew we had to have her on the show. And to top it off, Alex even agreed to come back on as well! In this wonderful, educational episode, Lali and Andie take us to science class. How could these creatures grow so quickly?

220 // Aliens: Dark Descent Review
July 11, 2023 22:21 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBWhen Aliens: Dark Descent was announced, it was hard to make out exactly how this real-time strategy outing was going to fit into the rich (and all-over-the-place) pantheon of Alien games. Could a squad game be scary? Was it going to be another wave-after-wave mow 'em fest like the (very fun) Aliens: Fireteam Elite? In this episode, Patrick and Christian welcome first-time guest Adam Zeller of the Alien vs. Predator Galaxy Podcast to discuss their initial impressions of Dark Descent. Does ...

June 27, 2023 21:28 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBOur "Egg and the Sulaco" episode was quite a hit, it seems! Your thoughtful, impassioned, sometimes-wacky feedback/conspiracy theories inspired us to do a Part Two on this topic, and to enlist the help of bona fide Alien superstar Alex White (author of Alien: The Cold Forge and Alien: Into Charybdis among many other fantastic books you should check out).

BONUS EPISODE: Frame Rate | The Last of Us
April 18, 2023 06:59 - 1 hour - 188 MBWe're taking a break this week to work on our Alien Day content. We hope you enjoy an exclusive episode of Frame Rate, our Patreon-exclusive film review show. To say HBO's The Last of Us had a high bar to clear would be putting it mildly. For one thing, it would need to adapt one of the most critically acclaimed video games in history to a different medium. But to be successful, it would also need to speak to new fans in an urgent way, while carrying along the fans who'd been there since 2...
213 // The Blomkamp Saga: Part Three
April 04, 2023 21:39 - 1 hour - 67.7 MBAs we bring this Blomkamp miniseries to a close, we end in a place we never expected: one of empathy, appreciation, and understanding. It's easy to lose sight of the human behind the headline. Neill Blomkamp underwent some very public suffering during the events surrounding his unmade Alien film. And Ridley Scott, despite his prickly exterior, is a person with feelings and frustrations as well—and Alien: Covenant is a window into those frustrations. This final installment is dedicated to l...

211 // The Blomkamp Saga: Part One
March 07, 2023 20:59 - 1 hour - 82.5 MBAlmost exactly eight years after our first episode aired, we return to the topic that started it all: Neill Blomkamp's unmade Alien project. In this first episode of a miniseries we're devoting to the Blomkamp situation, Jaime, Patrick, and Christian take a trip back in time to 2015 and examine the sequence of events that led to the very public conversations about whether or not this thing was going to get made. What actually existed? Was there a script? What would this film have become? J...

209 // Lovecraft and Alien: Covenant
February 01, 2023 03:14 - 1 hour - 78.9 MBAs we close out (for now) our miniseries on Lovecraft's cosmic horror in the Alien universe, we come to the most recent film in the saga: the ever-controversial, ever-interesting, ever-bizarre Alien: Covenant. Is Covenant Lovecraftian? Is it Gothic horror? Is it something in the middle? Jaime, Patrick, and resident Lovecraft expert Christian ponder these (and many more) questions on this wide-ranging and impassioned episode. They also address recent listener feedback about whether the preq...
