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.

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.
Adam Ezekiel
Contributing Host, Perfect Organism Podcast
Adam has made a name for himself in Alien fandom thanks to his incredible work recreating costumes from the Alien films, particularly Alien. Adam launched to success after some of his work was featured on Tested with Adam Savage. Adam Ezekiel has a particular focus on accurate replicas of the jackets, shirts, pants, hats, and patches all meant to look and feel as though they were officially issued by the Weyland-Yutani Mega-Corp.
Adam has been a fan of Alien since he first saw it at age eight, and is fascinated by the iconic costume design worn by the characters in the film. Adam began creating these replicas as a hobby, and quickly became obsessed with perfecting his craft and bringing these costumes to life.

Christian is more than a consulting member of Perfect Organism—he’s part of its beating heart.
