Here in Episode 159 of Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, four of your intrepid Horror Avengers — Jay of the Dead, Dr. Walking Dead, GregaMortis, and Mackula — are joined by special guest, Kombat Karl “The Mad Irishman” from Movie Podcast Weekly, to help them review ALIEN: EARTH (2025), Episode 005: In Space, No One…! Warning: This episode contains full-blown, major plot spoilers as our space jockeys discuss the latest developments of this entertaining Sci-Fi Horror series. In this episode, we learn about GregaMortis’s two biggest fears. Dr. Bishop explores the branding roll-out of the Weyland-Yutani Corp. And with this new menagerie of Beastly Freak organisms, Jay classifies the eyeball-squid thing as an “Ocular Octopod,” and he calls the ill-fated, science vessel USCSS Maginot, “Con Air but With Aliens.” Also in this episode, you will probably not be surprised to hear Mackula say, “I think it’s just that darn sheep!” Kombat Karl translates, in the way that only he can, what the xenomorph sentiments are saying, and Mackula very excitedly draws parallels between the alien xenomorphs and The Shape, Michael Myers. In addition, Mackula and Karl chat about whether Alien Earth makes any references that nod to “Blade Runner,” as Jay asks Karl if Boy Kavalier is a “replicant.”
