October 02 Episode 115: Alien: Covenant (2017)
We’re back on our Alien bullshit, and we're taking you through the murky depths of the wrongly maligned Alien: Covenant. In it we found commentary on Nietzschen myth, Schopenhauer’s exploration of the psyche, and can’t help but see Ridley Scott’s vision for a post-monogamy world. So jump in the cuddle puddle, the No Gods Polycule has much to explore.

June 10 Episode 113: Predators (2010)
Predators. Humans. Are they so different after all? Maybe an IOF sniper and/or CIA agent has the answer. This episode on the third entry in the standalone Predator franchise discusses existentialism vs utilitarianism, the ethical foundations of an alien species that hunts for sport, Robert Rodriguez's various sins, and which billionaires we'd like to see in the thunderdome.

April 16 Episode 112: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
A requiem, a service for the dead. Two classic creatures, killed by one film. We look into the swirling mass of emptiness, at the center of this film, and see what shapes appear in its clouds. Is the Aliens vs. Predator sequel trying to say something? Probably not. Is it saying something, incidentally? Unfortunately it is.

December 12, 2025 [Preview] Psycho (1960)
They're calling it the most psychoanalytic film ever made!
Barto and Charlie talk mirrors and duality, the gaze and how films teach us to desire, Hitchcock's fear of cops, and that there is a lot more of Psycho in American Psycho then we might have realized.
