The guys (Kareem, Ken, Pat) are joined by guest Kit to review one of the most confusing installments in the Alien franchise, Prometheus. Tangents include idiotic Ted Talks, the need to quarantine humans from the rest of space, expensive gifts for space pilots, and more.

Show Notes

Welcome to the chaos—your favorite trio, Kareem, Ken, and Pat, is back! This week, we shine a floodlight on Ridley Scott’s Alien: Prometheus, the movie that left us questioning science, existential dread, and who left the star maps unlocked in the first place.

What’s on the menu:
Logan Marshall Green or Tom Hardy’s Long-Lost Cousin? The gang embarks on a mission to identify this doppelgänger and decide if casting directors are just trolling us now.

Aliens at the Disco: Why Prometheus feels like a cautionary tale about adding strobe lights to galaxy maps, and what happens when your star chart doubles as a dance floor.

Ted Talks No One Asked For: Inspired by the movie’s plot holes, we invent hilariously bad Ted Talk ideas, from “How to Properly Greet an Angry Space Jockey” to “The Ethics of Cryosleep Snack Hoarding.”

Quarantine Earth! Should humanity ever be allowed to venture into space again, or is the plot of Prometheus proof that we’re the biological equivalent of bad houseguests?

Gift Shopping in Space: The lengths we’d go to procure expensive trinkets for intergalactic pilots—legal, illegal, and otherwise shady (no judgment… okay, some judgment).

Cartography: It’s All Fun Until Someone Summons an Alien Overlord: A tangent-filled debate about how space maps could double as a cautionary design for alien disco nights.

Plus: Random musings, philosophical detours, and Kareem’s hot take on whether androids should be allowed to mansplain their sinister plans.

Join us for this hilariously unhinged deep dive into sci-fi horror and the human condition. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and let us know in the comments: If you were gifted a star map, would you actually follow it?
