    Alien: Earth: S1, Episode 3, "Metamorphosis"
    2025/08/20
    This week, Da7e and Neil are trapped in a shipping container with a Xenomorph as Alien: Earth continues its barrage of world-building.

    In The Calm [07:38], they attempt to draw more parallels to J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, discuss the lore surrounding the Prodigy corporation, and advocate for workers' rights like... [checks notes] not giving a corporation the power to remove your body parts without your consent.

    Then, in The Storm [01:23:16], they dig into the teaser for episode 4 and become immediately concerned for the safety of at least one Lost Boy. And they revisit the question of whether there's going to be any Predator stuff in this show.

    This week, Da7e and Neil investigate the crash site left by the two-episode premiere of Noah Hawley's FX series, Alien: Earth.

    In The Calm [05:34], they break down the show's closing music choices, deploy a polygon probe to assess the VFX, learn about animal hearing frequency ranges, and much more.

    Then, in The Storm [01:23:44], they unpack the "Coming Up This Season" trailer to get a sense of how the season will be paced and predict whether or not we'll meet a Yautja along the way.

    The Politics of the Star Wars Franchise - A Star Wars Special
    2025/07/23
    It's A STORM OF SPOILERS: A STAR WARS SPECIAL!

    This week, Dave and Neil take a moment to think about how George Lucas' Star Wars trilogies and the content produced by Disney after its acquisition are in discussion with the American political climate of the 1970s, 80s, 2000s, and mid-2010s. They end by speculating on what Star Wars character aligns with their political journeys and wondering if Grogu has any politics.
