They explore the unique experiences on both projects, the excitement and uncertainty of the Alien movie sequel teaser, and the collaborative dynamic among Alien enthusiasts and designers.

There's a saying in Hollywood: if you want to get your film made, be able to pitch it in an elevator ride. The setup for No Man's Land, Christian Kennedy's mega-hit Alien fan film, is about as pitchable as it gets: "Battlefield I meets Aliens." Of course, a pitch will only get you so far. The execution is where the real magic happens. And Christian's film—which is just under 30 minutes long and has already racked up nearly 4.5 million views—is a masterclass in execution. With killer cinematography, great effects, period-accurate costuming, and some great xenos, No Man's Land has been a massive hit with Alien fans since its release just two months ago. In this Alien Day special, Jaime and Perry discuss the film with Christian and learn how he brought such an ambitious vision to life without a massive Hollywood budget. Make sure you watch the film first!

Alien Isolation is a game that captures the essence of Alien in profound ways. But does it stick too close to the film that inspired it? Is Amanda Ripley's story too similar to that of her mother? Spoiler alert: the answer is no. But on this episode, Jaime, Patrick, Christian, and guest CP have a hell of a time coming around to that conclusion.
