Ep. 77 - 'Alien: Earth' Is a Bold, Exciting Direction for the Franchise (with Matt Goldberg)

In this episode of the Decoding TV podcast, David and Matt Goldberg discuss what we think of the Alien franchise is at this point in popular culture. Then, we review and recap the first two episodes of Alien: Earth on FX/Hulu.

What did we think of the bold new premise for the show? Does it look like they spent $250 million to bring this to life? (Yes). What did we make of the fact that the show splits its attention between two major plotlines? And what about all the information that’s revealed about the main characters in the first two episodes? Listen to hear us discuss all these questions and more.

Be sure to check out Matt’s written review for Decoding TV.

Homework for next week:

  • Alien: Earth Episode 3 (FX/Hulu)

Shownotes:

  • 01:30 - What we think of the state of the Alien franchise
  • 15:00 - Alien: Earth
  • Episode 1 - Neverland
  • Episode 2 - Mr. October
