New Horror Movies Ep. 157: Alien: Earth (2025) - Episode 3

Hug your faces— I mean, hug your children. Some freaky fast and wacky weird xenomorphs are loose on the ship of Jay of the Dead's New Horror Movies! Here we are with our second installment (covering the third episode) of ALIEN: EARTH (2025). During this episode, four of the Horror Avengers return to dissect and debate Episode 003: Metamorphosis of the Alien: Earth series, and it's a wild ride full of major plot spoilers, so listener beware! Jay of the Dead is joined by Dr. Walking Dead, GregaMortis, and Mackula for an in-depth review of this pivotal installment. The crew dives headfirst into the latest developments, speculating whether the children's consciousness has truly been transferred into the synth bodies or if it's merely a downloaded replica. Tensions spark as Dr. Bishop confesses to growing a bit bored with the franchise's signature xenomorphs and their familiar egg tropes, while Mackula voices his frustration over this episode feeling more like a narrative "bridge" than a satisfying chapter. Jay of the Dead takes some heat for mixing up basic human anatomy, confusing lungs with livers and blurring the line between alien zygotes and fetuses, prompting a few laughs and a much-needed biology lesson. Meanwhile, GregaMortis remains fully invested and enthusiastic about the series' direction. And of course, Jay can't help but continue his disdain for the design of the alien octopus-eyeball monster, comparing it (not favorably) to something ripped straight from "Rick and Morty." (You know it's true.) Also, out of nowhere, Dr. Bishop admits to "rewinding" streaming content… So, if you're keeping up with Alien: Earth, this episode delivers fiery opinions, sharp analysis, and plenty of horror geekery to chew on. Watch along with us and listen to our analysis or else Mackula will hug your faces! Note: This episode was recorded on Friday night, August 22, 2025.
