In this episode we cover a bunch of the xenomorphs, ovomorphs, and all kinds of wacky aliens aboard the Maginot. Also, I guess we talk a little about Morrow and Eva Mendez at home. This episode comes with Authentic Space Noises! Don't ask. Donate to Children's Cancer Research Neatcast Website or whatever TWIMB Lonks Send me a lil bite

In this episode I interview author Nicholas Keating Casbarro about his debut novel, Vitalerium: Descent Into the Void. I read the novel prior to the interview but, honestly, you could probably get away with listening beforehand. There isn't really anything important spoiled despite my best efforts.

Join Zack (Neatcast, PodAss) and I as we talk about the newest addition to the ALIEN franchise, ALIEN: EARTH, which takes place 2 years before Ridley Scott's original film. We talk about all the xenomorphs, facehuggers, synthetics, Weyland-Yutani, and all that other dumb stuff. This is not very organized but is very stream of conscious. It's late. Don't ask questions. But please feel free to provide any opinions or insight! Send me a lil bite
