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)
We explore how the series ratchets up its claustrophobic horror, expands its Earth-bound mythology, and delivers gut-punching drama that tests its characters’ humanity.

Peacemaker (Episodes 1 & 2)
We break down the season’s explosive opening, highlight standout moments from Peacemaker and his team, and dive into how Gunn continues blending wild comedy with unexpected heart.

Episode Highlights:
👽 Alien: Earth — Rising dread, evolving Xenomorph threat, and survival under siege.
🌍 Alien: Earth — How Earth’s setting reshapes the Alien saga.
🦅 Peacemaker — Eagly’s return and the show’s perfect absurdity.
💥 Peacemaker — Action, comedy, and character growth in equal measure.
🔮 Looking Ahead — What these episodes might signal for both shows moving forward.

Back to the Future is a good movie.
00:07:34

tommy cresta
back the future hold you can watch that
00:07:38

00:07:42
Ryan

00:07:46

00:07:50
tommy cresta
yeah
00:07:52
Ryan
The best is...
00:07:52
tommy cresta
I think I would just switched I probably would have switched
00:07:52
Ryan
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:07:59
tommy cresta
You did a pretty good job. I probably would have switched Blade Runner Back to the Future and Once Upon a Time and maybe Grand Budapest and Past Lives.
00:08:01
Ryan
believe
00:08:12
tommy cresta
And you know how much I love Wes Anderson. yeah I love pass lives, though. I mean, they haven and I think I have that in 96.
00:08:19
Ryan
It was a good movie. Those were all good movies.
00:08:20
tommy cresta
all Cried my eyes out.
00:08:21
Ryan
Yeah, you did. I wish I was there.
00:08:24
tommy cresta
Sobbed like a baby at like 2 o'clock in the afternoon. maybe killed me.
00:08:33
Ryan
Yeah.
00:08:34
tommy cresta
That was a good list.
00:08:34
Ryan
That was a good list. That was a good one.
00:08:35
tommy cresta
Just all bangers.
00:08:35
Ryan
Just all bangers.
00:08:36
tommy cresta
Just bangers.
00:08:37
Ryan
Great heat.
00:08:38
tommy cresta
I do want to one. I'm going to just throw one in there. it's Oh, whoa. just fucked up my entire screen. I'm going to one randomly one day where just nothing but shit.
00:08:47
Ryan
Nothing but shitty movies.
00:08:47
tommy cresta
think And then maybe just throw Shawshank in there.
00:08:51
Ryan
Yeah, after I cut them all.
00:08:52
tommy cresta
That's right. It's like shit, shit, shit. Shawshank.
00:08:56
Ryan
Yeah, that's good. That's smart.
00:09:01
tommy cresta
Yeah, that's good. Smart. Yeah, that's how it.
00:09:02
Ryan
right, sweet.
00:09:04
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:09:04
Ryan
Got that going.
00:09:05
tommy cresta
Now we go to Peacemaker.
00:09:05
Ryan
now Peacemaker time.
00:09:08
tommy cresta
Season two.
00:09:08
Ryan
Peacemaker. Season two, episodes one and two.
00:09:10
tommy cresta
do episode one and two Peace Me Year episode 1 was titled The Ties That Grind directed by James Gunn and episode 2 A Man That Is Only As Good As His Bird currently sitting at 8.3 out of town IMDB a 96 on Rotten Tomatoes and 83% on Google
00:09:17
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:09:20
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:29
tommy cresta
Currently, so first episode I thought was a really good reintroduction back into the season.
00:09:29
Ryan
so
00:09:33
tommy cresta
And I really liked the way that they re-edited edited like the what you missed on last season of Peacemaker.
00:09:37
Ryan
ah yeah
00:09:39
tommy cresta
And then they just re-edited the Justice Gang for the Justice League. I think it was smart way of doing it. Instead of just cutting that, they just re-edited it to fit it into this universe.
00:09:45
Ryan
yeah
00:09:50
tommy cresta
And I liked where it kind of like left off. like It just kind of kicks right back into it. But it kind of...
00:09:55
Ryan
yeah
00:09:58
tommy cresta
I feel like the first episode was good and I was excited to see where it went. And episode two, I was kind of like, okay, you just did exactly what episode one did.
00:10:01
Ryan
they
00:10:07
tommy cresta
Yeah. It was just a repeat.
00:10:08
Ryan
kind of felt like yeah you get more of like the like it it shows more of the relationship between peacemaker and hawthorne which or not hawthorne what's the hardcore yeah um
00:10:08
tommy cresta
It felt like. yeah more of like like shows more of the relationship between peacemaker and hawthorne which are not the hardcore yeah
00:10:22
Ryan
Which I think is important, and that seems to be...
00:10:22
tommy cresta
which i think is important and that seems to be this seasons definitely goingnna be more about
00:10:24
Ryan
This season's definitely going to be more about his, you know, relationships and trauma throughout his life.
00:10:26
tommy cresta
you know relationships and trauma throughout his life it's going be more personal for Peacemaker this season i think that's kind of the point of it yeah it's good to lead more into this character which I think is interesting but I would like a little bit more of like seeing where the story's going go because like you said episode two felt like kind of the same thing as episode one didn't drive the plot forward too much in terms of like
00:10:29
Ryan
It's going be more personal for Peacemaker this season. I think that's kind of the point of it. Which is good to to lean more into this character, which I think is interesting. But I would like a little bit more of, like, seeing where the story's going to go. Because like you said, episode two felt like kind of the same thing as episode one. It didn't drive the plot forward too much in terms of, like...
00:10:52
Ryan
I guess he's going to just try to go and live in that other alternate universe with where his brother's alive and his dad's alive.
00:10:52
tommy cresta
i guess he's going to just try to go and live in that other alternate universe with where his brother's alive you mean yeah but like that gonna be like story or is it gonna be i watched watched like the trailer for episode three things are gonna start happening between you know the other universe again but i want to know what like the overarching story is gonna be for the actual dcu because we know that yeah it's supposed to have like an impact yeah rig flag is gonna
00:10:58
Ryan
You know what i mean? Is that going be like the whole story or is it going to be... i watched i watched like the trailer for episode three. Things are going to start happening between, you know, the other universe and him.
00:11:09
Ryan
But I want to know what like the overarching story is going to be for the actual DCU universe. Because we know that... Yeah. Rick Flagg is going to be trying to get him
00:11:21
tommy cresta
trying to get
00:11:22
Ryan
you know, on something, trying to send him to jail or just kill him because, you know, he killed his son, Corta Maltese, in the Suicide Squad, um which is interesting.
00:11:22
tommy cresta
know on time
00:11:27
tommy cresta
suicideal which is interesting i hope they kind of focus on that a little bit more
00:11:30
Ryan
I hope they kind of focus on that a little bit more. But again, I think if if James Gunn is trying to look at this season as diving deeper into peacemakers like Psyche and
00:11:32
tommy cresta
but Again, I think if if James Gunn is trying to look at this season as diving deeper into Peacemakers like Psyche and

Alien Earth Episodes Review

00:11:40
Ryan
figuring out his relationships and what he wants in this world, then I think having him go to that alternate universe where his family's still alive, I think that's that's interesting, but I'd still like a little bit more
00:11:40
tommy cresta
figuring out his relationships and what he wants in this world, then I think having him go that alternate universe where his family's still alive, I think that's that's interesting, but I'd still like a little bit more going on in these first two episodes.
00:11:51
Ryan
going on in these first two episodes not to say they were bad but i just wanted a little bit more to happen yeah you know it's going to be
00:11:53
tommy cresta
Not to say they were bad, but I just wanted little bit more. Yeah, I agree. And I think it's episode one, you know, it's going to... I feel like a lot of shows, like, you're trying to just introduce everything back into the the show.
00:12:04
tommy cresta
Like, it's going to be a little bit slower.
00:12:05
Ryan
good
00:12:06
tommy cresta
It's showing everyone back to this universe. You're seeing what's going to change because now it's the DCU, and not the DCEU. You're trying to find your footing again. But then episode two, it felt like it was doing the exact same thing.
00:12:16
Ryan
so
00:12:18
tommy cresta
You went back into the universe for a little bit. It ends pretty much exactly where it felt like it ended in the first season episode.
00:12:21
Ryan
by Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:24
tommy cresta
Just this time, he doesn't fight anyone.
00:12:24
Ryan
and
00:12:25
tommy cresta
It just ends... Being like, oh, you're in this world again.
00:12:27
Ryan
oh yeah you
00:12:28
tommy cresta
You don't know what's going to happen. We're stopping here. But I think I would just, I wanted it to feel more small scale. And I wanted the main story to just be him having to deal with the trauma of what he did.
00:12:37
Ryan
and i wanted the main so have yeah
00:12:42
tommy cresta
yeah With, I thought maybe he's got to deal with, because it kind of felt like he kind of got to get off with the whole Rick Flag thing.
00:12:43
Ryan
with amazing kind of got
00:12:49
tommy cresta
And I felt like this was going to be more of a way for him not to have deal with all that now.
00:12:50
Ryan
like this
00:12:53
tommy cresta
Now that it's coming to get, like, I know he dealt with in Peacemaker, but like, It's more that it...
00:12:57
Ryan
It's more that it's coming back to really bite him now that Flagg's in charge of Argus.
00:12:59
tommy cresta
It's coming all the way circling back now. It's coming back to really fight. Yeah.
00:13:07
Ryan
umm sure Is that like a thing in the comics, Argus?
00:13:07
tommy cresta
Is that like a thing in the comics?
00:13:09
Ryan
Is that like the shield kind of equivalent?
00:13:09
tommy cresta
Is that like the shield kind of equipment? Kind of.
00:13:12
tommy cresta
I'm sure there's more. Yeah.
00:13:12
Ryan
I'm sure there's more to it, but yeah, somewhat.
00:13:16
tommy cresta
So, I mean...
00:13:16
Ryan
So, I mean...
00:13:18
Ryan
Yeah, it feels like this season is him.
00:13:18
tommy cresta
Yeah, it feels like this season is him...
00:13:20
Ryan
It's going to come back to bite him, killing Flagg, and Flagg Sr.
00:13:20
tommy cresta
it's going to come back to buy flag flag senior's going to come for
00:13:24
Ryan
is going to come for him. and that That makes sense, and I'm excited to kind of see that.
00:13:25
tommy cresta
and makes sense and i'm excited to kind of see that and what we got in episode two with
00:13:27
Ryan
And what we got in episode two with the the team going into his house, that was great.
00:13:29
tommy cresta
going into whose house
00:13:31
Ryan
But I also think so far, it hasn't been as funny as the first season.
00:13:31
tommy cresta
but also think so far it hasn't been as funny as the first yeah been it's been less jokey
00:13:35
Ryan
It's been less jokey, you know what i mean?
00:13:36
tommy cresta
i mean but the jokes that are there they do
00:13:37
Ryan
But the jokes that are there, they do hit.
00:13:39
tommy cresta
day Like when he's naming, he gives them all the nicknames like Tony Boy, Titty.
00:13:39
Ryan
Like when he's giving them all the nicknames like Ponyboy, Titties, that was funny.
00:13:42
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:13:43
Ryan
It's just...
00:13:44
tommy cresta
I did like the line where he's like, bird blindness.
00:13:44
Ryan
Yeah.
00:13:47
tommy cresta
And i was like, bird blindness.
00:13:47
Ryan
yeah
00:13:49
tommy cresta
And he's like explaining it. And I was like, okay, it's pretty funny.
00:13:52
Ryan
He's calling's like, there's a duck or something.
00:13:52
tommy cresta
was like, there's a duck or something.
00:13:53
Ryan
I gotta get it. It
00:13:55
tommy cresta
He's like, a duck attacked me. Because I forgot about it.
00:13:58
Ryan
like
00:13:59
tommy cresta
And then the fact that it came back, he's like, someone get in here.
00:13:59
Ryan
and so
00:14:02
tommy cresta
can't tell what this thing is It's one of those jokes that's so stupid.
00:14:03
Ryan
yeah was one of those jokes that's so stupid, but then they just keep reinforcing it and it's funny.
00:14:04
tommy cresta
so and they just keep reinforce Like, keep punching it in and you're like, okay, it's pretty good.
00:14:10
Ryan
Yeah.
00:14:11
tommy cresta
Did you see the post-credits scene? No.
00:14:14
Ryan

00:14:56
Ryan
He's in mostly comedies, and he's funny as shit.
00:14:56

tommy cresta
But like stuff like that is still pretty funny. But i do I'm okay with the more serious tone they're going for.
00:15:17
Ryan
Yeah, especially with what doing, like I said, with diving more into Peacemaker.
00:15:18
tommy cresta
with they're for.
00:15:21
tommy cresta
Yeah, I'm a little hesitant.
00:15:21
Ryan
if the It needs a serious tone if you want to do that.
00:15:23
tommy cresta
I wanted to...
00:15:23
Ryan
So I'm i'm down. It's just going to be to wait and see more about how this season as a whole pans out.
00:15:26
tommy cresta
racist in this world? Like, I know the dad is still.
00:15:29
Ryan
So, yeah, I'm still ready to watch and ready to jump back into it.
00:15:30
tommy cresta
looks the white dragon, which is not a...
00:15:33
Ryan
But, you know, the first two episodes were a little bit underwhelming.
00:15:34
tommy cresta
the first two episodes were um but yeah i'm a little hesitant i wanted to
00:15:36
Ryan
Yeah. Do we think that The dad that probably is.
00:15:39
tommy cresta
do we think that they're racist and this one like and know the dad is still ah says
00:15:44
Ryan
The dad that probably is.
00:15:44
tommy cresta
his suit still lookss
00:15:46
Ryan
Yeah, he's still the the white dragon.
00:15:46
tommy cresta
so the white dragon which is
00:15:48
Ryan
yeah
00:15:49
tommy cresta
nada Not good.
00:15:51
Ryan
i also wanted a little bit more like he was more surprised and happy to see his brother alive.
00:15:51
tommy cresta
also wanted a little bit more like he was more surprised and happy to see his brother alive.
00:15:57
tommy cresta
I would have wanted a little bit more shocked to see his dad after he shot his dad the face.
00:15:57
Ryan
I would have wanted a little bit more shocked to see his dad after he shot his dad in the face.
00:16:02
Ryan
You know what i mean?
00:16:02
tommy cresta
You what I mean? He was shocked see his dad.
00:16:04
Ryan
He was shocked, but he was, I was expecting a little bit more like, oh fuck, I killed You you know what i mean?
00:16:04
tommy cresta
He was shocked, but I was expecting a little more like, oh fuck, I killed him. You know what I mean?
00:16:09
Ryan
Like he was shocked to see him a alive. He wasn't shocked that he's like, you know, I would have liked a little bit more if he felt expressed like feeling bad for killing his dad.
00:16:11
tommy cresta
Yeah. I would have liked a little bit more if he felt, expressed like feeling bad for killing his dad.
00:16:19
tommy cresta
he didn't feel bad about it but did fuck him
00:16:19
Ryan
Cause he didn't feel bad about it, but it did fuck him up for sure.
00:16:21
Ryan
So I thought seeing his dad would, yeah, no, I'm saying it fucked him up.
00:16:22
tommy cresta
He felt bad. Remember, he like breaks down when he kills him. Yeah. My mom just found my dad's fake military
00:16:26
Ryan
But I think seeing his dad alive would have fucked him up a little bit more than, you But I guess in seeing his brother is more important to him, so that it makes sense.
00:16:31
tommy cresta
ID. He used to get in the bars. did.
00:16:34
Ryan
But, um yeah. I'm trying to think what else happened.
00:16:37
tommy cresta
what mom just found my dad's fake military i he used to get in the bars
00:16:41
Ryan
He used to get in the box. That's great.

tommy cresta
Bryce Trang hit a leadoff in run.
00:16:58
Ryan
That's good.
00:16:59
tommy cresta
I'm trying to think what... I think What's-Her-Name's still the best.
00:17:03
Ryan

00:17:06
tommy cresta
um Not Hardcore, the other one.
00:17:06
Ryan
now Oh, yeah.

00:19:53
tommy cresta
But at the same time, they can still pick it back up.

00:24:47
tommy cresta
Alien Earths 3 and 4 are going to be like this. There was a lot more dialogue-driven episodes.

00:25:34
tommy cresta
I think the dce DCU is off to a really good start.
00:25:36

00:26:07

00:26:08
Ryan
think it's because this it's very much slowed down. And it's not...
00:26:11
tommy cresta
Yes. And i love and ah funny enough, i liked episode three and four and more than I liked episode two.
00:26:12
Ryan
well like
00:26:17
Ryan
I didn't.
00:26:17
tommy cresta
did.
00:26:18
Ryan
But i it's understandable.
00:26:18
tommy cresta
Because I thought two was too much.
00:26:23
tommy cresta
Yeah, I kind of felt that too, just because the xenomorph wasn't scary.
00:26:23
Ryan
Yeah, I kind of felt that too.
00:26:25
Ryan
Just because the Xenomorph wasn't scary.
00:26:27
tommy cresta
And a lot of people complain.
00:26:27
Ryan
And a lot of people complained about that.
00:26:27
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:26:28
Ryan
it was like It felt much more action than horror.
00:26:28
tommy cresta
like it felt much more Which I guess but what we talked about in the pocket was that like it's trapped in a space, so it feels much more aggressive. Which I understood.
00:26:37
Ryan
but i understood like
00:26:38
tommy cresta
like i get that.
00:26:39
Ryan
Neverland.
00:26:40
tommy cresta
So I like 3 and 4, and I like learning more about like what they're doing here at um Prodigy.
00:26:40
Ryan
thought four was better than Yeah, she's going crazy. That was very uncomfortable.
00:26:47
tommy cresta
So I really like 3 and 4. I really liked 4.
00:26:49
Ryan
really Like all the characters I thought four was better than three
00:26:50
tommy cresta
I thought 4 was really good. thought 4 was better. The girl never shuts her fucking mouth. Nibs.
00:26:58
Ryan
yes uses news cream just
00:26:58
tommy cresta
She was creeping me the fuck out that one scene.
00:27:00

tommy cresta
That was a very uncomfortable scene.
00:27:01
Ryan
yeah was very un uncomfortable
00:27:05

But, like, all the characters, I think, are so...
00:27:05
Ryan

00:27:08
tommy cresta
Morrow, he is so good in this.

Timothy Oliphant as Kirsch is so good. The fact that he's been... reveal that he's been listening the whole time their conversation and that he knows exactly...

And that he's going to let the kid open the egg.
00:27:35
Ryan

00:27:49
tommy cresta
It's going be a lot of dying.
00:27:51
Ryan
um Yeah, I think...
00:27:52
tommy cresta
Yeah, I think... Do we think...
00:27:54
Ryan
do we think
00:27:54
tommy cresta
I don't think... No way they let Hermit.
00:27:56
Ryan
way they like
00:27:58
tommy cresta
That happened to him.
00:28:00
Ryan
mean, I think it's possible.
00:28:00
tommy cresta
I think it's possible.
00:28:01
tommy cresta
I think they...
00:28:01
Ryan
I think they...
00:28:04
Ryan
Like, they, in terms of the characters in this show, everybody besides Wendy, I think they would let it happen.
00:28:04
tommy cresta
Like, they, in terms of the characters in the show, everybody besides Wendy, I think they would let it happen.
00:28:09
Ryan
I think absolutely they would.
00:28:10
tommy cresta
I guess so, yeah.
00:28:11
Ryan
But I think if Wendy...
00:28:11
tommy cresta
but i think if wendy
00:28:13
Ryan
finds out or figures out what they're trying to do to him.
00:28:13
tommy cresta
finds out or figures out what they're trying to do
00:28:16
tommy cresta
but you know kirsch and the other cat
00:28:16
Ryan
What, you know, what Kirsch and the other I forget what's his name again.
00:28:20
Ryan
The kid.
00:28:20
tommy cresta
kid ah Yeah, the kid that he's talking to.
00:28:24
Ryan
Yeah.
00:28:26
Ryan
Slightly.
00:28:26
tommy cresta
i done
00:28:26
Ryan
Is that him? Yeah.
00:28:28
tommy cresta
Yeah, Slyly.
00:28:28
Ryan
That looks like him. Yeah.
00:28:29
tommy cresta
Yeah, because, I mean, Boy Cavalier doesn't want him there anyway.
00:28:30
Ryan
If, if she kind of finds out what they're trying to do to him or like let, let happen to him, I think she'll try to stop it.
00:28:34
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:28:36
tommy cresta
but if she doesn't find out then yeah could absolutely
00:28:36
Ryan
But if she doesn't find out, then yeah, I think that could absolutely, they could, you know, feed him to the alien.
00:28:41
tommy cresta
yeah cause i mean boy cavalier doesn't one there anyway yeah
00:28:43
Ryan
Yeah. he He's just kind of...
00:28:45
tommy cresta
just He can continues also. He's so good in this.
00:28:48
Ryan
Yeah.
00:28:48
tommy cresta
He's such a fucking dick.
00:28:50
Ryan
He's such an asshole. He's such fucking prick. my God.
00:28:55
tommy cresta
So the whole cast is very good there.
00:28:55
Ryan
But, yeah, no, I mean... The whole cast... Yeah.
00:28:58
tommy cresta
did not realize those two were married.
00:28:58
Ryan
I did not realize...
00:29:01
tommy cresta
The two scientists.
00:29:01
Ryan
Who's that? Oh, yeah.
00:29:02
tommy cresta
oh yeah Yeah, the therapist and the other scientist.
00:29:04
Ryan
Yeah, I didn't know that. But that's kind of interesting. Yeah. They came here together. It's cool. want to see...
00:29:08
tommy cresta
want to see that. I do hope that they give us the alien.
00:29:11
Ryan
Give us the answer...
00:29:12
tommy cresta
Like, I want to see the Xenomorph released in this place.
00:29:16
Ryan
i mean
00:29:16
tommy cresta
Like, especially seeing them, like, walking around the facility, like, I think we'll get it.
00:29:19
Ryan
Yeah. I think we'll get it.
00:29:20
tommy cresta
want to see it, like, on the...
00:29:21
Ryan
Yeah. But somebody would have to die for that to happen.
00:29:22
tommy cresta
Somebody would have to die if that happened. Well, because we have a little thing crawling around now after episode Well, she talks to him.
00:29:24
Ryan
Well, because we have the little thing crawling around now after episode four. The one that she talks to.
00:29:30
tommy cresta
Yeah, the xenomorph.
00:29:30
Ryan
yeah
00:29:30
tommy cresta
Yeah, we're going see...
00:29:30
Ryan
Yeah. But we're going to see, is that thing going to grow fully?
00:29:32
tommy cresta
Is that thing going to grow fully? Oh, that's a xenomorph. That's what it comes out of like, the... You think?
00:29:36
Ryan
You think?
00:29:37
tommy cresta
Yeah, that's what comes out of the body.
00:29:37
Ryan
yeah's what can Yeah.
00:29:38
tommy cresta
Well, yeah.
00:29:39
tommy cresta
I mean, looks a little bit different, but yeah. No, that's what comes out of the stomach. Yeah, but i wonder if because...
00:29:39
Ryan
I mean, it looked a little bit different, but yeah.
00:29:42
Ryan
Yeah. But I wonder if because.
00:29:45
tommy cresta
That's what happens to the face heart.
00:29:45
Ryan
That's happens.
00:29:46
tommy cresta
It grows in the lungs. It bursts out.
00:29:47
Ryan
Does it grow in the lungs? Okay.
00:29:48
tommy cresta
that they were They were doing like a test to see how it worked.
00:29:48
Ryan
they Yeah, I know. I know they're testing it, but I wondered if maybe like, because it didn't have, a because it was just the guy's lungs that it was using.
00:29:51
tommy cresta
I wondered if maybe because it was just guy's lungs that it was using, it didn't have a full hose.
00:29:56
Ryan
it It didn't have a full host. It wouldn't like fully, because we know that other, like, you know, depending on what,
00:29:57
tommy cresta
know that other cause we know that other like you know depending on what
00:30:03
Ryan
the face hugger, you know, depending on who the host is, kind of changes what the xenomorph is.
00:30:04
tommy cresta
face huer
00:30:07
tommy cresta
depending on who the hostast is kind of changes what the xennomorph is
00:30:10
tommy cresta
because get alien first pre you have
00:30:10
Ryan
Because we get Alien vs.
00:30:11
Ryan
Predator, you have that fucking stupid-ass alien-predator mix thing.
00:30:12
tommy cresta
stupid alien predator mix thing
00:30:16
Ryan
Yeah.
00:30:16
tommy cresta
yeah
00:30:16
Ryan
So I wonder if, like...
00:30:16
tommy cresta
so i that's Those movies aren't canon though.
00:30:19
Ryan
I know, but I feel like that's still a thing that they would do.
00:30:19
tommy cresta
I know, but I feel like that's still a thing that they would do.
00:30:22
Ryan
Because it's kind of cool. like if
00:30:23
tommy cresta
Maybe. Like a hybrid? Yeah, there's different hybrids.
00:30:25
Ryan
Yeah, there's there's different hybrids. like We've only seen xenomorphs that come from humans.
00:30:26
tommy cresta
like We've only seen Xenomorphs that come from humans.
00:30:29
Ryan
If it does get into like some different host, like an engineer or anything else that could be out there in this world.
00:30:29
tommy cresta
If it does get into like some different host, like an engineer or anything else. Yeah, I wonder if... i wonder Because that's why I don't understand. still don't know if promethe if this show is considering Prometheus and that and Covenant.
00:30:40
Ryan
I don't know. um
00:30:43
tommy cresta
Canon? because Is there different creatures?
00:30:46
Ryan
I feel like it would because what's his name? ah Ridley Scott's still producing it, right?
00:30:48
tommy cresta
really scott still Yeah, but they because sometimes they just give him credit because he created Alien.
00:30:50
Ryan
Yeah, but
00:30:54
Ryan
they... Yeah.
00:30:56
tommy cresta
But then I don't know.
00:30:57
Ryan
No, was James Cameron.
00:30:57
tommy cresta
James Cameron did Aliens.
00:30:59
Ryan
James Cameron did Aliens.
00:31:00
tommy cresta
Aliens.
00:31:00
Ryan
Never mind. Yeah.
00:31:02
tommy cresta
Ridley Scott hates Aliens.
00:31:04
Ryan
Does he?
00:31:04
tommy cresta
Does he?
00:31:06
Ryan
Interesting.
00:31:07
tommy cresta
James Cameron also hates Alien 3 because he wanted to do Alien 3.
00:31:07
Ryan
james cameron
00:31:11
tommy cresta
sense.
00:31:11
Ryan
Makes sense.
00:31:12
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:31:12
Ryan
Yeah.
00:31:13
tommy cresta
We got this young kid.
00:31:13
Ryan
They're like, we got this young kid.
00:31:14
tommy cresta
He's like this
00:31:14
Ryan
He's like, this kid's dog shit.
00:31:16
tommy cresta
He's like, fuck him.
00:31:18
Ryan
Turns out that kid's pretty good.
00:31:18
tommy cresta
Turns out that kid's pretty good.
00:31:20
Ryan
isn' it
00:31:20
tommy cresta
Isn't it crazy the first three are just three of the greatest filmmakers of all time?
00:31:24
Ryan
Yeah. um go um
00:31:25
tommy cresta
Don't go look at the fourth one.
00:31:29
Ryan
yeah But I think episode three, my main thing, I didn't love it because there's some, of the sometimes when the kids talk,
00:31:29
tommy cresta
yeah but I think episode three, my main thing, didn't love it because there's sometimes when the kids talk,
00:31:38
Ryan
Sometimes they're very childlike and they feel like kids, but sometimes they're talking and it just feels like adults talking.
00:31:38
tommy cresta
sometimes they're very childlike they feel like kids but sometimes they're talking and just feels like du talk
00:31:45
Ryan
Do you know what i mean?
00:31:45
tommy cresta
you know i mean Yeah, like, I think it's definitely the girls are, it happens with the girls more than the guys.
00:31:46
Ryan
Yeah. Like,
00:31:49
Ryan
haven
00:31:51
tommy cresta
yeah
00:31:51
Ryan
yeah. and And certain characters, like, yeah.
00:31:52
tommy cresta
The girls, it could also be that the girls maybe are smarter. Because the the guys, i feel like, are always sound like kids talking. yeah
00:31:59
Ryan
Yeah. I mean, that is true like, know.
00:32:00
tommy cresta
i mean there is like But you are learning that the guys, the one guy is very smart.
00:32:01
Ryan
Yeah.
00:32:04
tommy cresta
The one i who goes by Isaac now, because he wants to like a scientist.
00:32:07
Ryan
yeah
00:32:07
tommy cresta
That he learned that he can, like, read look at a book and he can download the books into his brain.
00:32:07
Ryan
ah you are Yeah, he's been downloading like books and languages. Yeah, yeah, That's cool.
00:32:13
tommy cresta
Which is so cool. Like, that's what I want know. Like, if they're not going to show, like, if they want to take it slow, give me this kind of information that I can, like, learn about.
00:32:15
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, it's cool.
00:32:20
tommy cresta
Yeah, cool.
00:32:21
Ryan
And I like the the one girl who wants to be um yeah the favorite.
00:32:21
tommy cresta
I like the one who wants to Number one. Yeah, she's, I feel like she's about snap, though.
00:32:26
Ryan
She's cool. Yeah, because girls, like, at that age when you're kids, girls do mature way faster than boys.
00:32:28
tommy cresta
Because girls, like, at that age when you're kids, girls do mature way faster. Yeah. So it makes sense that, know, they're smart.
00:32:33
Ryan
So makes sense that, you know, third're they're smarter. Yeah.
00:32:36
tommy cresta
Wendy's dope, though. She's so cool.
00:32:37
Ryan
Yeah, she's just cool.
00:32:37
tommy cresta
Yeah, she's just cool.
00:32:39
Ryan
But yeah, sometimes when the kids talk, when they the, you know, used to be kids, the cyborgs, whatever, not cyborgs, synthetic kids, sometimes when they talk, they feel more adult.
00:32:40
tommy cresta
Yeah, sometimes when the kids you know,
00:32:44
tommy cresta
Yeah, like the... feel good at always feeling like a kid.
00:32:49
Ryan
And sometimes when they talk, they feel very childlike.
00:32:50
tommy cresta
Yeah. Because I when his mom is...
00:32:51
Ryan
It feels like they just couldn't figure out if they want to lean fully into one thing or the other sometimes. But episode four, I felt like it brought it back and they felt more like stupid.
00:32:59
tommy cresta
yeah like the i feel like the
00:33:00
Ryan
Yeah.
00:33:01
tommy cresta
the slightly he he's been really good at always feeling like a kid
00:33:05
Ryan
yeah
00:33:06
tommy cresta
because i feel like he's always put in like peril so like he doesn't really understand the situation so
00:33:06
Ryan
like
00:33:10
tommy cresta
and that whole scene when his mom is ah they put a situation with his mom that I felt so bad for him.
00:33:15
Ryan
Yeah. i felt Yeah, that was sad. in the
00:33:18
tommy cresta
He's a little kid and he just wants hear his mom's voice and the fact that he lets him.
00:33:22
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:33:22
tommy cresta
But I am a little concerned now that I know episode five is a flashback.
00:33:26
Ryan
Oh, is it? Like, what?
00:33:27
tommy cresta
Five is going to be Morrow's because you know how we see Morrow at the end of his ship about a crash when he climbs down into like the crash thing.
00:33:31
Ryan
Yeah, end of the...
00:33:35
Ryan
yeah and the that about
00:33:36
tommy cresta
It's about 17 days before they crash like when the Xenomorph hatches.
00:33:40
Ryan
Okay.
00:33:41
tommy cresta
You're going to see like what happened.
00:33:41
Ryan
Oh, that should be cool then.
00:33:42
tommy cresta
Which is going cool, but then that only gives us six, seven, eight.
00:33:43
Ryan
Which is going to be cool. Yeah. to now Yeah.
00:33:46
tommy cresta
for But I mean, now that we know it's multiple seasons.
00:33:50
Ryan
then we got to wait fucking three years for season two probably.
00:33:50
tommy cresta
then we go
00:33:53
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:33:53
Ryan
Now, if they had a job, it's going to be a year, year and a half maybe.
00:33:54
tommy cresta
I will
00:33:57
tommy cresta
don't know, Holly, if Fargo was always like a year in between.
00:33:57
Ryan
and
00:34:00
Ryan
Yeah. yeah I'm sure they'll pump it out relatively quickly.
00:34:02
tommy cresta
Especially if it keeps... I mean, the viewership's been really good.
00:34:06
Ryan
We'll be watching it.
00:34:08
tommy cresta
But yeah, I really like, I think the cast, and I'm excited because Noah Hawley directed episode five, which comes out, and his directed episodes have been my favorite episode so far.
00:34:16
Ryan
Okay.
00:34:16
tommy cresta
Because he directed one, and I think think one's still my favorite episode so far. Because it just the xenomorph, and it had the coolest shots where the xenomorph was moving when we said it looked the creepiest.
00:34:26
Ryan
Yeah.
00:34:27
tommy cresta
Still that, but the shadow of the Yeah,
00:34:27
Ryan
Yeah. Still that when it's in the shadow, the statue in the background. um Yeah, that was just cool.
00:34:32
tommy cresta
And that's going to be Noah Hawley. Come on, dude.
00:34:34
Ryan
um
00:34:35
tommy cresta
You're in space in a spaceship with a xenomorph.
00:34:37
Ryan
Yeah.
00:34:38
tommy cresta
Let's get some cool shots in there.
00:34:39
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:34:40
tommy cresta
But, yeah, I think the show's been good.
00:34:41
Ryan
yeah
00:34:42
tommy cresta
There's definitely been, like, I think three and two have definitely been the weakest episodes.
00:34:48
Ryan
Yeah, I think three was the weakest for me.
00:34:48
tommy cresta
Yeah, i think weakest. didn't love I like
00:34:50
Ryan
I didn't love three. I liked four. But...
00:34:52
tommy cresta
i' really liked four because I think four gave me an idea of where the story's going to is that they're going to, like,
00:34:53
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:58
tommy cresta
Well, that the thing's going to hatch and why it's going to hatch. Because we all knew it was going to hatch because Alien.
00:35:04
Ryan
yeah
00:35:04
tommy cresta
But I want to know, like, what's the point? Like, are they just going to be messing with it? It's going open up. But the fact that he wants it to open and, of course, being a uah of prodigy synthetic to the All-Fans character wants it to open up because he wants to study and see why.
00:35:18
Ryan
Yeah, he wants to see.
00:35:20
tommy cresta
But it all makes sense of why everything's working. Now I'm excited to see the rest of the story pan yeah. We'll just see what happens.
00:35:24
Ryan
Yeah. We'll also see what happens with Wendy now that she can kind of communicate somewhat, which I still think she can't understand it.

00:35:34
tommy cresta

00:36:01
Ryan
Yeah.
00:36:02

00:36:07

00:36:15
tommy cresta
And they're like, yeah, no, it's just like a hard drive.
00:36:20
tommy cresta
Yeah, i like I like the whole cast. That scene, though, with Nibs was what what you're saying, the super uncomfortable scene where she's pregnant.

She jumps across the table at her. That scene was scary.
00:36:34
Ryan

00:36:36
tommy cresta
Because I didn't even think of like that being like a problem, of like them like snapping. Yeah, there's we can't understand.
00:36:40
Ryan
Yeah. Because I mean, they're still kids. They can't understand their own strength yet. Yeah.
00:36:43
tommy cresta
Yeah, and I was like, oh, all they got worried about is the xenomorphin, though.
00:36:46
Ryan
Yeah, no.
00:36:46
tommy cresta
Yeah,
00:36:46
Ryan
these These kids are still kids, and if they, you know, kids lash out now and again, but these kids are in fucking superhuman bodies.
00:36:48
tommy cresta
these kids are so okay kids lash out now and again These kids are in fucking superhuman movies.
00:36:54
Ryan
If they lash out, somebody's going to die.
00:36:55
tommy cresta
They laugh out. Somebody's going die. You know what I mean?
00:36:56
Ryan
know what I mean? Oh,
00:36:58
tommy cresta
And as I said before, when we're still talking about Peacemaker, the scene with the octopus thing.
00:37:02
Ryan
the Ithnick.
00:37:05
tommy cresta
That thing is so cool. The octopus eye thing.
00:37:08
Ryan
oh the eyesphon think Yeah, yeah,
00:37:09
tommy cresta

00:37:10
Ryan
Yeah, that was awesome.
00:37:10
tommy cresta
Yeah, that was awesome.
00:37:11
Ryan
The sheep scene was really cool.
00:37:11
tommy cresta
The sheep scene is God. She's letting happen.
00:37:13
Ryan
Just letting it happen. i love that they're both just just staring at it.
00:37:14
tommy cresta
I love that both just staring
00:37:17
tommy cresta
And then when it stares back... yeah And the shot of, like, the eye, and you can see, like, adjusting itself from, like, inside. And, like, you can see, like, adjusting itself. And it leans a little bit and then fixes it.
00:37:17
Ryan
And then when it stares back, that was awesome.
00:37:26
Ryan
Yeah.
00:37:28
tommy cresta
I really... And it looks angry.
00:37:30
Ryan
and
00:37:31
tommy cresta
Like, the sheep looks pissed.
00:37:31
Ryan
Yeah. Just staring at it.
00:37:33
tommy cresta
look It stains up on some guidelines.
00:37:33
Ryan
but When it stands up on its back legs, so I thought I was going to try to like break the glass a little bit, but
00:37:36
tommy cresta
I was like, sit the back. thought it was going to try to, like, break the glass little bit. But there was something creepier that stood up and then went back down. And then, like, figured out, like, that needed to use...
00:37:43
Ryan
Yeah. Like it understood. Yeah.
00:37:46
tommy cresta
Like, it's probably...
00:37:46
Ryan
Like it's, it's probably gotten into like humans or, you know, bipedal things before.
00:37:48
tommy cresta
gotten into like humans or you know bipeds things before so just assume that
00:37:51
Ryan
So it just assumed that, but then once it locked in, like got, you know, knew what it was, you know, hosting now and it got on all fours, dude.
00:37:52
tommy cresta
but then wants it locked in got you know new hosting them It was like, oh wait, this isn't what we do.
00:38:01
Ryan
Yeah. That was fucking cool.
00:38:02
tommy cresta
i also like that didn't make a...
00:38:06
tommy cresta
Sheep noise.
00:38:07
Ryan
Yeah. It's just kind of like,
00:38:08
tommy cresta
It just growls. It it doesn't make the right noise.
00:38:12
Ryan
Yeah, it was cool. um
00:38:14
tommy cresta
And then the fucking asshole Boy Cavalier bounces the ball off of it.
00:38:17
Ryan
Yeah, it didn't flinch.
00:38:19
tommy cresta
And just turned around and looked at him.
00:38:21
Ryan

Like give me like an end to a part of a story.
00:45:14
Ryan
Yeah.
00:45:14
tommy cresta
Like I'm okay with that.
00:45:14
Ryan
Like, the first season is a story, and then the second season is another story that continues off this story.
00:45:15
tommy cresta
First season is a story. And then the second season is another story that continues off. Yeah.
00:45:20
Ryan
I hate when it's like...
00:45:20
tommy cresta
I hate when it's like. There is no ending.
00:45:23
Ryan
Yeah, and I've never been a fan of that.
00:45:23
tommy cresta
Yeah. I've never been fan of that.
00:45:25
Ryan
Unless the second season is, like, right around the corner.
00:45:25
tommy cresta
Unless the second season is right around the corner.
00:45:27
Ryan
But if we do have to wait a year or two, then it just sucks.
00:45:27
tommy cresta
But if we do it for a year or two. Yeah, like Hell House Lineage did not have an ending.
00:45:30
Ryan
Yeah.
00:45:32
tommy cresta
And it never works out well.
00:45:32
Ryan
And it never works out well, because so many people just lose interest and don't watch the second season.
00:45:33
tommy cresta
So many people just lose interest and don't watch the second. Yeah.
00:45:36
Ryan
happens all the time.
00:45:36
tommy cresta
That all i think I think, though, if they can...
00:45:38
Ryan
think... I think...
00:45:42
tommy cresta
I really think that this is going to kick it up a notch in these next couple episodes.
00:45:42
Ryan
i
00:45:46
Ryan
and because
00:45:46
tommy cresta
Because the way at least they're setting up, if it's anything like alien lore, it's that big start, swing in the beginning, the hatch happens, slows down a little bit, and it kicks into gear in that third act.
00:46:01
Ryan
checks and yeah
00:46:02
tommy cresta
And we're kind of like in that third act part of it.
00:46:02
Ryan
i think it will yeah i think it will because we know that yutani still wants to get her aliens back so she's definitely gonna you know and that's a mark
00:46:05
tommy cresta
Because we know that toy still wants to yeah hurry So she's definitely to out. And that's what Mara's going for.
00:46:12
Ryan
Yeah.
00:46:12
tommy cresta
Yeah.
00:46:13
Ryan
Yeah.
00:46:13
tommy cresta
Yeah, they're definitely going to, like, come together to that never-land-i-hunter.
00:46:13
Ryan
They're definitely going to like come together and go to the Neverland Island and shit's going go down for sure.
00:46:18
tommy cresta
Shit's going go down, for sure. But and just hope happens.
00:46:19
Ryan
But I just hope it happens. I just hope it's good.
00:46:21
tommy cresta
I think it's gonna be this season.
00:46:23
Ryan
think it's just be
00:46:23
tommy cresta
