Alien Special

This week, Clayton and Tamzyn look back on the ups and downs of the Alien world, explore the latest sequel and prequel in Alien Romulus, and discuss the influence and impact of Alien on the sci-fi world.

First up, Clayton and Tamzyn give us updates on all the latest Geek NEWS.

The Alien franchise is one of the most iconic and enduring sci-fi horror series, spanning several decades and featuring a complex universe filled with terrifying creatures, mysterious extraterrestrial entities, and a relentless exploration of human and non-human survival.

Is there anything more geek-worthy than squealing in joy as an alien bursts through an unsuspecting character’s chest? Oh, what fun the Geeks OUT team had this week exploring all things Alien!

Clayton and Tamzyn delight in an army of face-huggers, revel in monumental characters like Ripley, discuss how old they were when they watched the first Alien film, reveal how to watch the film in the chronological order of the story rather than release dates, and discuss the incredible story behind the filming of the very first chest-bursting scene.

So much fun!
