What a time to be alive!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In this episode, we discuss Weyland-Yutani’s corporate culture, life in the Colonial Marines, the history of Jews in Mexico and their theoretical role in space, great sci-fi industrial design, and the tyranny of Fox Studio suits.&amp;nbsp; It looks like we’re going for it with this Alien series, god help us.
