The Alien series has a long, complex history with the video game industry. From the 2600 Pac-Man clone days to the hyperrealism of Alien: Isolation, fans of the series have been battling (/hiding from) xenomorphs for nearly five decades.

Mike Diver's upcoming book, Aliens: The Video Games, is a sweeping journey through Alien gaming history. With original research and interviews—and no small helping of nostalgia—the book is a blast to read.

On today's episode, Mike sits down with Patrick, Holden, and Mario to talk the book, the games, the films, and the future.
Aliens: The Video Games is set to release at the end of August 2026. You can preorder now at Amazon and Waterstones, and learn more by visiting the publisher.

And there've been rumors floating around about the sequel to Alien: Romulus, including who just might be directing it.

In this episode, Perry and Jaime sit down with Aliens: Resurgence director TrisRex to explore his ambitious, labor-of-love fan film set twenty years after the events of James Cameron’s Aliens. What began as an idea during the uncertainty of 2021 evolved into a full-scale production, complete with pandemic challenges, practical builds, and even a Chicago windstorm that literally blew the set away.

At Perfect Organism: The Alien Saga Podcast, we believe fandom is not just something to analyze, it’s something to champion. We’re proud to spotlight creators who expand the hive and keep the spirit of Alien alive in bold and inventive ways.
