Hey it's the first episode of 2026! And the dorks are back in force, with a big look at the different types of aliens and how they're depicted in media. We're talking aliens that are friendly, absolutely not friendly, just sort of passing through, and not even sentient, and how they've been shown in movies, shows, games, comics, and whatever else comes up. And at the end we'll dip into some real science to discuss the possibility of the existence of aliens out there somewhere and the likelihood that they're actually hanging out on and around Earth.
Let us know about your favorite aliens and whether or not you think they're out there!
Come join us in the future! The show is live on Thursdays around 8pm(ish) Eastern time on Twitch.
