Thank you for joining Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies for the third installment (covering the fourth episode) of ALIEN: EARTH (2025), where four of the Horror Avengers discuss Episode 004: Observation. Jay of the Dead is joined by Dr. Walking Dead, GregaMortis, and Mackula. These intrepid, stellar podcasters endeavor to explore a deep-dive into Alien Universe timelines, ship-building lore, and the narrative tightrope walk between central arcs and peripheral details. Jay, Dr. Bishop, GregaMortis and Mackula engage in an esoteric and nerdy discussion that veers from the confusing release-versus-story order of the Alien Universe to the corporate fingerprints of Weyland and Yutani on iconic vessels like the Prometheus, Nostromo, and Maginot. The crew weighs in on how fans can critically balance attention between the show’s main story and its subtle background details, with Mackula revisiting his “bridge episode” critique and GregaMortis defending the layered storytelling. And yes, beware — major plot spoilers abound!

From squid eyeballs capable of brain-hijacking to Wendy’s psychic link with the xenomorph language, the hosts unpack the latest terrors and teases while speculating about synthetic-human hybrids and the future of Kirsch, Timothy Olyphant’s pivotal character. The crew contemplates whether xenomorphs can bond emotionally; hints at shadowy corporate wars, circa 2119 – 2120; and discusses unsettling implications of transferring consciousness between alien, human, and synthetic. While pacing frustrations and cliffhanger-heavy storytelling drew some critique, ratings remained high… And though Mackula declined to score, he acknowledged the setup for big payoffs ahead. Watch along with us — it’s fun!
