Our most popular episode of last year found us discussing Ridley Scott's "Alien: Covenant" with the great @Tada_Jess and the wonderful @peterjmcgann.

We discuss late-career Ridley Scott, the anti-auteur shift in the late 2010s, and John frickin' Denver.

@Tada_Jess @JoeyLDG Our eighth most popular episode of the year was from the archives. A remastered and extended edition of one of our earliest episodes, one that we tinkered with significantly on initial release.

Darren and Andrew talk James Cameron's "Aliens."

Wow how much did they pay you for this Time? 🙂 I hope it was worth it.

[TIME @TIME]

2025 was the year when artificial intelligence’s full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back.

For delivering the age of thinking machines, for wowing and worrying humanity, for transforming the present and transcending the possible, the Architects of AI are TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year. https://t.co/NiTkWet1cB

@thetwofifty @Dex_Jettster Everytime I come on I rant about capitalism 😌

[The 250 @thetwofifty]

Our latest episode is now online, with the great @Tada_Jess and @Dex_Jettster joining us to talk about the first season of Noah Hawley's "Alien: Earth."

We discuss television auteurship, streaming media, and late capitalism.

@Darren_Mooney It's so sad how many people now genuinely believe films should be about nothing 😌

[Jess Dunne @Tada_Jess]

Barbie was great, I loved it and I went to see it twice but like it's very much "dumb fun" despite the light capitalism and feminism critiques

[Darren Mooney @Darren_Mooney]

I think about that person who replied to a post about some random blockbuster arguing “ugh, it’s okay for a movie to be dumb fun, not every movie has to be Barbie.”

“Barbie” is actually the baseline of quality you should expect from an IP-driven blockbuster, not an outlier.

Is Krampus the best Christmas film?

[Jess Dunne @Tada_Jess]

She's there as a foil to Buffy, it's the childhood Buffy SHOULD have gotten to have.

I’m sorry but hating Dawn Summers is a big red flag for me like she’s just a girl

[Joseph Fasano @Joseph_Fasano_]

My three-year-old refers to his imagination as "my magic," and this is why children are the best.

Tech disruption isn't about progress. It's about fracturing the competition and then charging consumers more once you've won 💔

[chels @gremlingardener]

my biggest boomer complaint is how disappointing streaming services have become. ad free? not anymore. multiple users? not anymore. streaming in multiple locations? not anymore. great quality? only if you upgrade. they limit our use while increasing the cost. greedy motherfuckers

[Jess Dunne @Tada_Jess]

Just in time for #InternationalMensDay we get a nuanced portrayal of wholesome masculinity (in fact, several) in Predator: Badlands. What if being an alpha meant how empathetic you were instead of how strong? 🐺

[The 250 @thetwofifty]

We came back off hiatus for a special episode, continuing our All-ien season as @Tada_Jess and @emma_kielyy join us to discuss Dan Trachtenberg’s “Predator: Badlands.”

Vietnam, colonialism, masculinity, “Ma” and plenty of shirtless Adrien Brody talk.

@Darren_Mooney Are you telling me different media have different strengths and weaknesses
