    BONUS: Introducing Wax Episodic — Alien: Earth S1E1&2
    Aug 16 2025
    Bonus Episode: Introducing Wax Episodic Hi, Jason here. This is a special bonus episode reposted from my new podcast, Wax Episodic, where I cover top-tier, story-rich TV shows one season at a time with different co-hosts. We’re kicking things off with Alien: Earth, and I wanted to share the first episode here so you can check it out. If you like it, please consider subscribing to Wax Episodic — it’s my new podcast home, and you can find it at ⁠waxepisodic.com⁠. Or just search “Wax Episodic” wherever you get your podcasts. PS If you were drawn to the twisted power dynamics and manipulation in Squid Game, you’ll find a similar undercurrent in Alien: Earth — where shadowy forces exploit people under the guise of control and order. Alien: Earth S1E1&2: “Neverland” & “Mr. October” The wait is over — Alien: Earth has landed, and Noah Hawley’s first two episodes deliver everything we hoped for: suspense, grotesque alien terrors, strange new lifeforms, and a sharp look at how unchecked corporate ambition could shape our future — in a series that (at least so far) feels both classic and brand new. Join Jason, Randy, and Kara as we dig into “Neverland” and “Mr. October.” Links from the episode: Brain interface used to edit YouTube video — paralyzed Neuralink patient also uses AI to narrate with his own voice: ⁠https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/brain-interface-used-to-edit-youtube-video-paralyzed-neuralink-patient-also-uses-ai-to-narrate-with-his-own-voice?utm_source=chatgpt.com⁠ Next up on Wax Episodic: Alien: Earth S1E3 “Metamorphosis”!

    Here it is, our take on the final episode of this incredible series. It wasn’t as triumphant of an ending as we might’ve hoped, but there are some silver linings in there. Join Veronica, David, and Jason as we talk it out. Thanks so much to all of you who listened along with us. We appreciate it! If you’re looking for something to watch (and a podcast to go along with it), we hope you’ll check out the upcoming Alien series, Alien: Earth, premiering on FX on August 12, and then listen to Jason and friends covering it in-depth on the Wax Episodic podcast. You can find that anywhere you get podcasts, or at waxepisodic.com. Cheers! Squid Game: The Challenge season 2 premieres in November, and we may be back to cover that, or any spinoffs, sequels, or Squid Game reboots. Let us know if you guys want more coverage.
