Episode 149 - We are finally here in our timeline at the OG Alien (1979). This one is a classic and not much more needs to be said about it. But we did go over 2 hours for this one. In addition to the original Alien we discussed Alien: Romulus (2024) for a bit, as well as the series Alien: Earth. We hope you enjoy this one as we nerd out on Alien. We might as well be wearing Dan O'Bannon suspenders and bow tie. And a disclaimer to all you true Alien nerds out there... we are not experts. Tune in
