In this episode, Perry and Jaime sit down with Alien: Lost Transmission writer-director Connor Botts and his co-writer and star, Benjamin Mayer. This might just be one of our most entertaining conversations yet. From Connor’s first sparks of inspiration to last-minute reshoots and shifting release dates, the duo dives into the passion, chaos, and creative fire behind their stunning short film.

Alien: Lost Transmission is a gorgeous love letter to the Alien universe, a striking proof of concept that shows just how much is possible when committed fans pick up the camera.

In this episode, Patrick and Jaime welcome AvP Galaxy’s Adam Zeller for a bold and timely conversation about a major development: the possible return of the Predator—this time, in a sequel to Alien: Romulus. What could this mean for the future of the Alien franchise? Is it a bold evolution, or a risky crossover just as Alien is rediscovering its creative core?

Together, we explore the legacy of both creatures, the pitfalls of merging iconic IPs, and the essential question at the heart of it all: what makes Alien worth preserving?

This is one of our most passionate, provocative, and essential episodes to date.
