We return to our happy place, the bleak and horrifying universe of Alien with a deep dive into the newest entry in the franchise, Hulu's Alien Earth. Created by Noah Hawley, and starring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Cessay, Adarsh Gourav, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Timothy Olyphant, Jonathan Ajayi, and David Rysdahl alongside the breakout star of the series, the Eye midge (among others), the series brings the Alien universe home to Earth for the first time ever on the big or little screen. Joining us again is fellow Alien/Predator superfan and friend of the show, Joe Wrote to discuss how the show explores the arrested development of capitalists, xenomorphs as an allegory for capitalism's need for infinite growth in a world of finite resources, and how science fiction is meant to serve as a warning to not build the torment nexus. Not an inspiration.
