DIRECTING THE DARK: THE FUTURE OF ALIEN
Dallas, Kane and Lambert walk the treacherous terrain of LV426.
After a month-long break that felt more like a deep breath after a storm, Jaime and Patrick return to the mic following a relentless stretch of Alien: Earth coverage. In this episode, they take a long, unflinching look at where the Alien universe stands today. From the legacy of the original trilogy to the uneven terrain of everything that followed, they explore how each new entry, film, or series has both carried and fractured the weight of what came before.
They also turn their focus to the future: who might take the director’s chair for the next Alien film, and whether the franchise can still surprise us in the way it once did. It’s a lively, impassioned, and deeply reflective conversation, recorded live on YouTube, about art, vision, and the fragile state of an iconic saga.
The Alien universe stands at a crossroads, full of promise, yet shadowed by hesitation. There’s still so much left to explore, if only the right hands are willing to reach into the dark.
