00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.540
tonight. Okay. I love the Alien movies. I'm sorry.

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:11.279
Yes, they can be cheesy. Yes, they can be stupid

00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.859
sometimes, but I've always loved the Alien movies

00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:18.219
ever since I was like three when I saw the first

00:00:18.219 --> 00:00:21.179
one. They let you watch that as a three year

00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:28.079
old. Yeah. Why? What? Why would what? Why wouldn't

00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:33.890
they? So like my so my Why why not let your three

00:00:33.890 --> 00:00:35.990
-year -old watch the gory horror movie about

00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:38.609
aliens eating people and things bursting out

00:00:38.609 --> 00:00:41.689
of people's chests Let me think on that for a

00:00:41.689 --> 00:00:46.950
moment I'm from Florida That's the answer for

00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:49.890
everything you're from Florida. Yeah, uh, my

00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:53.729
dad had like a really weird Thing about like

00:00:53.729 --> 00:00:59.640
I could watch the goriest Like our rated movies

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.960
as a little kid, like elementary school, second

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.299
grade. You know, Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy,

00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:12.200
I don't know, Alien, all of those movies as a

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:17.299
second grader. He thought I was perfectly fine.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.200
But he wouldn't let me watch like South Park

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.659
and the Simpsons because he was mad that. Like

00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:29.099
the kids talked back to the parents and he thought

00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:33.959
I would pick up like bad habits from that. But

00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.280
I could watch like people's heads exploding.

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.540
I don't know. But yeah, anyways, back to the

00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:45.340
topic. I love the alien movies. And we did get

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:50.239
our first full trailer for the FX's alien Earth.

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.719
This is going to be an eight episode series.

00:01:54.990 --> 00:01:58.829
We do know a little bit about the plot. We do

00:01:58.829 --> 00:02:01.430
know the main actors. We do know some of the

00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:03.930
directors are going to play the trailer. I'm

00:02:03.930 --> 00:02:05.450
going to show some stuff from the trailer so

00:02:05.450 --> 00:02:08.250
we don't get copyright struck. He's just going

00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:11.490
to skip through it, I guess. We get a bunch of

00:02:11.490 --> 00:02:15.009
stuff. So the aliens made it to Earth. Ah, so

00:02:15.009 --> 00:02:19.189
let's let's dive into it. Yeah. So the plot.

00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:23.180
is so evidently it revolves around this like

00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:26.580
deep space research about a vessel that's carrying

00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:30.000
five different life forms from the dark corners

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.979
of space that and of course what happens the

00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:38.020
ship crash lands on earth this is a time frame

00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:41.500
when earth is governed by five different corporations

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:45.259
one of them obviously being our favorite Wayland

00:02:45.259 --> 00:02:49.400
of course are going to be there And I really

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.020
think from the trailer these five different groups

00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:54.280
are going to be fighting to recover the items

00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.539
from the wreckage There's also a lot of theories.

00:02:57.539 --> 00:03:01.580
The predator is going to be a part of this series

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:04.259
Speculation we don't see the predator in the

00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:09.379
trailer Overall watch the trailer I'm getting

00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:13.840
like very classic alien vibes from this I'm excited

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.379
about it Some of the actors, so the biggest actor

00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:25.879
is Timothy Oliphant? Oliphant, yeah. I love Timothy

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.300
Oliphant. He is from Justified, he is from the

00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:31.620
Book of Boba Fett, he is from a lot of stuff,

00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:37.120
really great actor. Some of the directors are,

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.599
to me, seem pretty solid. You have Donna Gonzalez,

00:03:42.819 --> 00:03:45.729
who is the director of the Fargo TV show. as

00:03:45.729 --> 00:03:52.729
well as legions. You have Noah Hawley. No, that's

00:03:52.729 --> 00:03:56.210
really well known. Yeah. Best selling author.

00:03:56.330 --> 00:04:00.229
Twenty years of experience. One Emmy Golden Globe

00:04:00.229 --> 00:04:06.430
pen critics choice. I mean, very well. Yeah.

00:04:06.909 --> 00:04:11.409
Celebrated writer. So I don't know this this

00:04:11.409 --> 00:04:14.210
to me. This looks good. I think this is solid.

00:04:14.539 --> 00:04:17.000
I want to know more about the three horned goat.

00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:20.480
OK. Oh, yeah. I'm showing said three horned goat

00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.899
right now, and I want to know more about the

00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:26.740
three horned goat. Tell me about the goat. You

00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:30.040
have to watch it. I might. So here's the thing.

00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:34.000
And I kind of fall under the category of somebody

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.060
else who thought this. I thought the alien franchise

00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:39.480
was dead. Right. I thought they had run it into

00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:45.250
the ground. OK. That being said I saw Alien Romulus

00:04:45.250 --> 00:04:48.750
last year. Oh, yeah, and I was like, never mind

00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:52.850
They figured it out. They figured it out and

00:04:52.850 --> 00:04:58.970
it was so good. And if this is the way That Disney

00:04:58.970 --> 00:05:05.810
Is gonna run their alien franchise what the hell

00:05:05.810 --> 00:05:10.550
Then I think we're in good shape I really do

00:05:10.550 --> 00:05:16.620
yeah I wasn't I wasn't a huge fan of what was

00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:22.740
that? I don't know predator primal. Oh, okay.

00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.519
Like five years ago or something. Yeah wasn't

00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:33.139
a huge fan of that but No recently, you know

00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:36.040
the the movie that came out last year huge fan

00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:42.800
alien movie the trailer for the Predator movie

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.740
that's coming out later this year. I believe

00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:48.240
that looks pretty sick So yeah, I don't know.

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.279
I'm excited for this year. I'm excited for this

00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.360
TV show August 12th. The first two episodes are

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:59.040
dropping I Think it's a complete watch FX has

00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.699
got a good traffic track record as a network.

00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:03.740
They did Shogun. They've done a lot of really

00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:11.110
good shows again, I think that Think that they've

00:06:11.110 --> 00:06:12.769
got a good shot at this. So yeah, I'll probably

00:06:12.769 --> 00:06:18.970
check this out Go check it out. Oh Anyway, did
