I love this pod! You guys and gals are awesome! Alien is my favorite franchise (yes, even including the AvP films). The Xenomorph is my fave movie “monster”. Alien:Isolation is my fave “horror” game. It could’ve easily been a fantastic film. Alien: Superman is one of my fave comic crossovers (shocker!, right?). The pulse rifle and the sentry guns are my 2nd and 3rd fave movie weapons. Only a lightsaber imho surpasses them. Alien(s) is one of the most quoted movies in our home. Alien and Aliens constantly change places as my #1 and #2 films. Alien: Romulus was fantastic. It’s my # 3 at the moment. I could go on and on and on about how much this world has brought me joy and dread in equal measure. I’m so glad that I found a pod that brings together my favorite things in such an informative and entertaining way. Your pod name is, well, perfect. Until next time, Building Better Worlds, The Kryptonian Orphan

Sorry to break it to you guys but Alien 3 is bad

The crew of Perfect Organism discuss all details of the Alien franchise, big and small, from movies to videogames, and everything in between. Their joy is palpable when discussing things they love, and their criticisms are always delivered with maturity and intelligence. An absolute must listen for any Alien fan.

If you are a fan of the Alien franchise. Then you must download this podcast.

Ok first off i LOVE Athena alien movies and I might love this podcast even tho I will still rate 5 stars Bye.

This is where you’ll find the deep dives. These guys are both fans and critical thinkers.

I love this podcast and what they contribute to the Alien community!

Generally an enjoyable and thoughtful podcast right up until Episode #204 when host Jaime Prater felt it necessary to make his personal socio-political observations known when a random comment included author J.K. Rowling. <SMH> Suffice to say; unsubscribing was an appropriate response.

This is a must listen for Alien fans. I am wondering if you have on any thoughts on whether Disney will put in an Alien attraction at one of the parks, similar to what they have for Star Wars.

An excellent show for lovers of the Alien universe. These guys really know film and have a gift for sharing that information in an entertaining fashion. I’m a fan.

Perfect Organism is the first podcast to hook he into regular listening. The hosts discuss details of the Alien saga to a level and depth I had not encountered. From behind-the-scenes to cast and creator interviews, they do a great job of separating episodes into focused series within their expansive back catalog for new listeners. High production values set it apart from a lot of similar sci-if genre podcasts. They delve into a granular level of minutiae without alienating the uninitiated. Their format and pacing is so solid, I don’t know how they do it. But I’m glad they do. Every episode goes to the top of the queue. Do yourself a favor and listen to these knowledgeable hosts and characters. Beware! They will pull you back into this franchise deeper than you ever have been!

I love this franchise, and these people do an amazing job diving in to each episode (regardless of the topic) to explore something new about a particular character or movie (or soundtrack!). It’s hard to find podcasts these days that are so entertaining AND stay away from current politics/political views (because if I wanted that I’d listen to some other show). Thank you so much for all the work you put in to each episode and I look forward to many, many more to come!

Huge Alien fan and I love listening to this podcast while at work. These guys are huge fans and extremely knowledgeable on the Alien franchise. It’s a pleasure to listen to. Only criticism from me is to stop crapping on Resurrection so much! I love that movie dearly! Great podcast five stars.

Similar to Star Wars fans they are too critical of anything newer because it doesn’t give them the same feeling of when they were a child.... I respect the level of knowledge they have on the films but I started with the first episode and really got bummed when they hated on the newer movies... I understand they are not groundbreaking or as good as the original as many of us watched them young but spending 30 min on the negative is rough to listen to...

Jaime and Patrick are an absolute pleasure to listen to as they analyze, dissect, and discuss anything and everything Alien. I found this podcast six months back while working from home during the COVID-19 state lockdowns, and I am glad I did. Their unique and intelligent take on the franchise will help you discover you loved the movies even more than you thought you did! If you are an Alien fan, this is the podcast for you!

It’s a joy every time Jaime and Patrick publish a new episode. While exploring he depths of the Alien series, they expose the right and wrong using scholarly comparisons to other films in high cinema, reflect on seminal experiences growing up with the movies, and speculate on the future of the franchise. Often featuring guests, call ins, movie clips, and interviews with cast and crew. As a die hard Alien fan, this is among my favorite podcasts.

Very tacky to smoke a bong during the podcast.

Over the last few months, these folks have been my transition from "liking the Alien movies" to "being an Alien fan". The rotating cast of hosts makes each episode feel like I'm seeing a slightly different perspective each time; the fact that they're all awesome people doesn't hurt ;) In particular, I really appreciate their commitment to intellectually honest discourse around the newer movies. Some of the hosts like them, some don't. While there are genuine disagreements at times, all the conversations I've seen have been in good faith, with rational people, capable of nuance and of changing their minds. The show is now getting to the point where the choice of starting with the earliest shows, or the most recent material, migh actually make a difference; I started with the recent shows and have gone roughly backwards from there. Others have said the audio quality isn't great or the hosts get a bit rambly. I think they might have been listening to earlier episodes: at least since 2017 the production value has been top tier.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since it was first getting its legs under it & it’s one of my go-to’s. Jaime, Patrick, & the rest of the rotating hosts pour tremendous knowledge of the Alien films/series into each episode...but also with the perfect mix of wit and humor. The Alien film series represents the best & worst of many of our childhood film experiences, but it’s also a microcosm of the POV’s & discussions that congregate our society today. The hosts never veer into serious political issues (so you don’t have to fear that!) but are amazingly focused on Alien lore & the literary, theatrical, and social elements that made/make this film series so great. Give them a try; I think you’ll be coming back for “more cornbread”!

We all need a place to talk and listen about the great Alien franchise.

This was a really cool story and I wish there would have been more of this as a prelude to aliens. Thank you to the creative people who made this suspenseful story! I want more! Please!

This show is a labor of love from the hosts. For any fan of the Alien franchise, you will not be disappointed. Topics of the show are all over the place in the best way: multi-part episodes about each film, character focused episodes, news and discussion, roundtables, and even radio dramas. The production values and quality of the discussion got me hooked right away.

I do love this show! JM, Ryan, Patrick, Dave.. you are all truly special. Alien is something I discovered over a decade ago when I was about 13 and I’ve cherished every facet of it ever since. The release of Prometheus pushed my full blown love for Alien over the edge into absolute obsession. I love being able to listen to passionate people talk seriously about something that’s so deeply integrated in my life. I’ve listened through the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, the excitement and the anger - all the emotions that have been conveyed for this franchise through past couple years. I love being excited with you all, and even though things can and do get pretty heated here and there, I’m glad everyone’s able to share their opinions simply because it’s all out of the pure love for this terrific franchise. The discussions have grown, matured, and are particularly well-rounded now that there have been more voices added to the show that represent every part of this very elastic fanbase. There are so many parts of Alien to love from the comics, to the books, the games, the crossovers, the collectibles, and yes, even the prequels. Thanks for everything you all do, keep up the great work - I can’t wait to see what in store for us next! 👽👽👽

Needs some better flow and production value.

The audio quality is nearly unbearable. Additionally, the hosts would do well to work from an outline instead of trying to wing it. Too many wasted minutes of Ums and Uhs and other filler words. A shame.

a lot of entitlement, extremely bad audio, even worse they read comments off a Facebook group. Listen to avp galaxy if you want to hear an intelligent discussion about the films.

I'm a comic book addict too. This is a tough subject. People are emotionally connected to this franchise on different levels. Sometimes when different views and theory's are explored , others seem angered or at least upset by these various views. I really appreciate the podcast and all the work required. I love the podcast. If I disagree with certain aspects, I'm still grateful for the discussion/ conversation and different viewpoints. Thanks. PS went to Covenant on release day. Loved it. It's got faults. So what. I guess I'm simply grateful. Love this universe. Thank you for your work.

Starts strong. Kind of repetitive in later shows.

Jaime and Peter rock! They are awesome to listen to with great insights into the series. They also keep up-to-date on the latest Alien related news. Subscribe now, or prepare to be facehugged! ;-)

I just started listening to it a couple months ago (previously was a Soundcloud cast) and it's the best Alien cast I've heard. Worth a listen if you're a fan of the franchise.
