Prepare your popcorn, butter that stuff UP, and settle in, buttercups, because Alien: Earth is about to grace our screens, bringing the chest-bursting goodness right into your living room! 😱 Yes, FINALLY, after all these years, the Alien franchise is slumming it on Earth…and streaming! Because who needs theaters when you can watch xenomorphs wreak havoc from the comfort of your Cheeto-dust-covered couch? 🍿 If you’re one of those poor souls who hasn’t memorized every single frame of the Alien saga (gasp!), fear not, we’ve got you covered!
In our latest cinematic masterpiece (aka a 15-minute video 🙄), we’ll spoon-feed you the entire 45+ year history of the Alien films (and some other stuff nobody cares about). We’re talking warp-speed through Ridley Scott’s Alien (the good one), James Cameron’s Aliens (the REALLY good one), David Fincher’s Alien 3 (the one everyone pretends doesn’t exist), and Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Resurrection (the one with the Ripley clone…yeah…). Oh, and we’ll sprinkle in some Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, and Alien: Romulus, because why not? The more convoluted, the better! 🤪 Watch this video and you’ll be totally ready to dive into Alien: Earth on FX and Hulu. (Only 15 minutes of your life…totally worth it, right? RIGHT?! 😬) Behold our glorious recap below!
If you somehow enjoyed that video on what you ABSOLUTELY MUST KNOW (even though you probably already do) before watching Alien: Earth, then check out more of our videos below! We’ve got one on all the HIDDEN (not really) Alien Easter eggs in Alien: Romulus, a TON of Alien trivia that you DEFINITELY already know (because you’re a true fan, duh), and a bunch of secrets you MIGHT not know about James Cameron’s Aliens (but probably do). Plus, there’s a metric ton more videos over at ScreenCrush’s YouTube channel. Subscribe, or don’t. We’re not your mom. 🤷♀️ Alien: Earth premieres on August 12 on FX and Hulu. Set your alarms! Or don’t, and just binge it later. Whatever. 🙄
