Time Capsule: There Be Aliens Edition


Listen Later

👽 A celebration of TV’s most iconic alien invasions, past and present.

For this special edition of Time Capsule, we open the vault and revisit some of the most influential extraterrestrial stories ever broadcast. From the paranoia‑soaked 1960s to the blockbuster‑fueled 1980s and the conspiracy‑rich 1990s, these creators and performers helped define how generations imagined first contact—and the fear that comes with it.

This episode brings together an extraordinary lineup of voices from across alien‑invasion history:

  • Jane Badler — the unforgettable Diana from V

  • Larry Cohen — creator of The Invaders

  • Bryce Zabel — co‑creator of Dark Skies

  • Bonus archival audio with Roy Thinnes, star of The Invaders From The DVD

    Together, they explore the craft, the cultural anxieties, and the creative risks behind their groundbreaking series.
