272 // Alien and the Iconography of Terror (With Tristan Jones and Dane Hallett)
Episode art by Tristan Jones (IG: @tristans_bones) HAPPY ALIEN DAY 2025!! Looking back through the history of cinema, there are very few - if any - monsters as iconic as the Alien. But why is that? Why are we so afraid of it, intrigued by it, obsessed with it? Why does it speak to audiences in 2025 with just as much power as it did nearly five decades ago? In this episode (which is something of a third installment in our Anatomy of an Alien Film series), Jaime and Patrick discuss these sorts of questions with two of the absolute, unquestionable authorities on the visual language of Xenomorph XX121: Tristan Jones (IG @tristans_bones), the legendary artist behind projects like Dark Horse's Aliens: Defiance, and Dane Hallett (IG @dane_hallett_art), one of Hollywood's most in-demand concept artists (you've seen his work in Alien: Romulus, Furiosa, Alien: Covenant, and many other places).

Interviewing DeadDark, Our Alien Day 2025 T-Shirt Artist!
(Note: the episode art is an itsy-bitsy preview of the full design that will be revealed on April 26th) One of our favorite Alien Day traditions is our annual t-shirt unveiling. Over the past near-decade, we've gotten to work with tons of gifted artists from around Alien fandom – and this year is VERY MUCH no exception. DeadDark – whose actual name is Ross, and who can be found on IG here (for his digital art @deaddark23) and here (for his tattooing @_deaddark) – is a crazy talented artist/Alien Saga superfan. On today's episode, Perry and Patrick chat with Ross about all things xenomorph, and share a little preview of the art that will be fully unveiled on Alien Day (just four days from now!). Make sure you don't miss a thing on April 26th by following us on socials if you aren't already! The shirt will be unveiled in the afternoon, and it will be available at a promotional discount for a limited time. You're gonna want this one, trust us ...
