Patrick, Jaime, Micah and Kyle get together to discuss everything that's been going on in with the ALIEN IP since the release of very successful, ALIEN: Romulus. From Fede Alvarez' departure to Ridley Scott's recent statements, we leave no stone unturned as we go through the order of events which began in late quarter, 2024. This was a great conversation full of speculation, frustration and at the end, some optimism for the future. We hope you enjoy!

Ross (DeadDark) and Jaime were invited by Creative Assembly to attend an Alien: Isolation 2 gameplay and panel via FrightFest this past Sunday in London. From hands on with Isolation 2's new character Blake, to speaking with a few of the devs from Creative Assembly, this was an immersive and fun experience that we can't wait to share with you.

It's been awhile since we've formally done an episode on Alien: Earth. In today's show, the PO Team gathers to revisit Season One; they also analyze the casting/news around Season Two, discussing their hopes (and fears) in some detail.

They also talk about the current state (or non-state?) of the sequel to Alien: Romulus. Is anything happening? If so, what could it be?

In this episode, a handful of us at Perfect Organism discuss the black goo, or pathogen that was introduced into the saga with Prometheus.

Just what is the black goo? Is it effective? Is it lazy? We come up with our answers to some of these questions as we investigate how useful or not it is for the lifecycle. This is the first episode we've ever devoted to the pathogen. It was an in-depth conversations, as so many of our discussions are. We hope you enjoy.

This episode is of course ad-free specifically for our patrons.

Part of the enduring appeal of Aliens is its complexity. For all its iconic dialogue and huge set pieces, Aliens is also a surprisingly nuanced and layered look at human morality.

Would "dusting" Burke have been the morally right thing to do? Was Gorman a bad person, or just an incompetent one? Is an android's existence worth less than a human's?

Join the whole team on this big ol' roundtable as they find their way through these (and many more!) moral quandaries.

Alien: Isolation 2's show-stopping spotlight at Summer Games Fest 2026 has fandom ablaze. In today's very special episode, Jaime and Patrick speak with journalist (and Patron!) Peter Hoskin, who was able to play twenty minutes of the game in Los Angeles this week.

This episode contains details about the setting, the protagonist, the gameplay, and more. It's extraordinary access, and we're so grateful to Peter for taking us into the (already terrifying) world of Alien: Isolation 2!
