PATRICK GREENE

Creative Partner, Leadership Team Member, Host, Perfect Organism and Shoulder of Orion

Patrick fell in love with the Kenner Gorilla Alien as a seven-year-old and hasn't looked back since. He believes in the transformative power of science fiction as a tool for allegory and reflection, and he believes the original Alien film is one of the few truly perfect films ever made. He's also a lifelong Blade Runner nut, and is thrilled to have excuses to talk about his two favorite film franchises on a regular basis.

Outside of podcasting, Patrick is an award-winning composer. He lives with his wife, Micah, and their sons in New England.

Xander is present on most every recording. Xander lives with a mild form of cerebral palsy, which affects his speech. That doesn’t stop him as he is always usually first in the chat, and chimes in with his views and opinions on whatever we are discussing.

MICAH GREENE

Contributing Host, Perfect Organism Podcast

Micah is a lifelong nerd who grew up watching Indiana Jones, dressing as Princess Leia, and mastering every detail about Batman. A newer fan of the Alien saga, she fell in love with its world of films, games, and stories after meeting a certain Patrick Greene who shared that passion. Now part of both Shoulder of Orion and Perfect Organism, Micah brings her curiosity and heart to exploring the wide spectrum of human emotion through Sci-Fi and Horror. When she’s not offering live commentary over true crime documentaries or backseat gaming while Patrick commands the PS5, she works as a nurse in Women’s Health and lives with Patrick and their sons in a beautiful New England town, where they’re definitely not raising their kids to be little nerds (they absolutely are).
