In this episode, a handful of us at Perfect Organism discuss the black goo, or pathogen that was introduced into the saga with Prometheus.

Just what is the black goo? Is it effective? Is it lazy? We come up with our answers to some of these questions as we investigate how useful or not it is for the lifecycle. This is the first episode we've ever devoted to the pathogen. It was an in-depth conversations, as so many of our discussions are. We hope you enjoy.

This episode is of course ad-free specifically for our patrons.

Part of the enduring appeal of Aliens is its complexity. For all its iconic dialogue and huge set pieces, Aliens is also a surprisingly nuanced and layered look at human morality.

Would "dusting" Burke have been the morally right thing to do? Was Gorman a bad person, or just an incompetent one? Is an android's existence worth less than a human's?

Join the whole team on this big ol' roundtable as they find their way through these (and many more!) moral quandaries.

Alien: Isolation 2's show-stopping spotlight at Summer Games Fest 2026 has fandom ablaze. In today's very special episode, Jaime and Patrick speak with journalist (and Patron!) Peter Hoskin, who was able to play twenty minutes of the game in Los Angeles this week.
