Listener Peter Wright wrote to us back in January with a killer episode idea: what if Ripley never made it off the ship, but someone (or something) else had?

In today's show—a loose continuation of our ongoing "What If" series—Perry, Andie, Ross, and Patrick tease through all the various ways that question could play out. What if Dallas had survived? Would he have known to check on Special Order 937? What if Lambert had survived? Would she have jumped ship, overwhelmed by fear, and come back with reinforcements for a potential sequel?

What if Parker had survived? Would we have an entire guns blazin' '80s action fest franchise by this point?

And along the way, we realize just how lucky we are that Ripley was, indeed, Last Survivor of the Nostromo.

This conversation was a ton of fun, and we look forward to hearing your OWN "What If" scenarios!

On today's show we welcome back Matt Savage (IG: mattasav.concept) to talk about his amazing work as a concept artist on Alien: Romulus. Matt's work on numerous design elements of the film—most famous being the Corbelan IV (interior as well as exterior!)—lent a tremendous amount of realism and believability to Fede Alvarez's film.

Join Jaime and Patrick as they chat with Matt about bringing this amazing universe to life!
