Published

FX's Alien series - xenomorph

The commercial space tug Halloweenies is in quarantine.

After inspecting a transmission from a nearby moon, the crew returns with a perfect organism: Ridley Scott‘s Alien. In the second of three episodes dedicated to the 1979 sci-fi horror, McKenzie Gerber, Dan Caffrey, Michael Roffman, and Rachel Reeves move to the lab to study Jerry Goldsmith‘s score and the titular creature itself.

Stream the episode below and stay tuned for Pt. 3 on Monday.

Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky! This year? They’re looking to the stars with the Alien franchise.

You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins, Jaws), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Invasion of the Body Snatchers ), and even spinoffs like their recent run Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
