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.
Perry Chicos

Perry is an avid fan of the Alien Franchise and has been ever since he collected the first wave of Kenner toys as a child in the early 90s. Perry grew up in Minnesota and currently resides in Minneapolis working in the software industry. His passion for film and cinema has led him to further his love of Alien through writing, short films, and other hobbies, most notably collecting anything Alien that NECA puts out.

Andie Geekgirl
PO Contributing Host, PO Patreon Lead, Leadership Team Member, Perfect Organism
Andie first fell in love with the Alien Saga when CBS aired its special cut of Aliens in 1989. Since then, she has owned every iteration of the films, including a homemade VHS recorded copy of the Special Edition procured in the early days of eBay for $32.
She is a high school science teacher and lives with her husband and daughters in NJ. She’s usually found attending comic cons, singing musicals at the dinner table, making amateur home movies, or taking her dog on hikes with her family.
XANDER HOUSE
Contributing Host, Facebook/IG Team Perfect Organism and Shoulder of Orion
Xander is one of the biggest fans of both the Alien and Blade Runner series and brings all of that love with him to both shows. Xander is a writer/director, having created several short films as well as consulting and model-building for various Perfect Organism short films and audio dramas.
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. Both Perfect Organism Podcast and Shoulder of Orion would not be who we are without him.
Holden Wilholte
Contributing Host, Full-time Team Member, Perfect Organism Podcast
Holden lives in Memphis, Tennessee and is a longtime fan the Alien series and has been a listener of the show since 2021. When Holden isn’t eyelid-deep in the world of Alien, he’s spending his time with his band making and performing music.
Ross / DeadDark
Staff Artist/Contributing Host, Perfect Organism Podcast
Ross is a tattoo artist with a background in illustration, fine art, and graphic design, and a degree in Cartoon & Comic Arts. Ross brings a sharp eye and a deep love for all things Alien to the team. His favorite film? Aliens, of course. Favorite story in the franchise? The haunting, slow-burn brilliance of Alien: Isolation. When not sketching xenomorphs or diving into deep space horror, you’ll find him on the football pitch or trying to introduce his daughter to the terrifying joys of the Alien universe, one facehugger at a time.
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).
