This week on The Popcorn Podcast, Tommy and Ryan tackle two massive TV events shaking up the world of sci-fi and superheroes. First, we dive into Alien: Earth Episodes 3 & 4, where the tension escalates, survival stakes grow sharper, and the Xenomorph’s shadow looms larger than ever. Then, we shift gears into James Gunn’s bombastic return with Peacemaker Season 2, Episodes 1 & 2—packed with chaotic action, absurd humor, and surprisingly heartfelt character beats.
Alien: Earth (Episodes 3 & 4)
