Part 3/8:
A recurring theme is disappointment with contemporary Alien projects. The hosts lament the deterioration of the franchise, reminiscing about the atmospheric perfection of Alien (1979) and criticizing modern entries like Alien Earth for lacking the mystery that once made the franchise fascinating.
Several viewers express dissatisfaction, particularly with Alien Earth, calling it a "garbage" script that seems like a poorly executed parody. They critique the show’s writing, its reliance on cheap CGI, and the overall lack of subtlety. When discussing the Alien franchise, they nostalgicly bring up Aliens (1986), praising Vasquez as a true badass, contrasting her with the current, less compelling offerings.
