Why is an atheist like Ridley Scott so obsessed with God? What's so terrible about face-huggers, anyway? What's more the stuff of nightmare\u2014pincered worms that crawl into your ear canal, a la Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, or robot toasters?

Jake and Paul grapple with these and other incredibly urgent, stunningly geeky questions on our newest podcast, where we explore Scott's spiritually robust Alien sequel/prequel and debate as to whether the movie's Christian captain was strangely sympathetic, predictably stereotypical or just a flat-out mess.

Oh, and we also talk about why Mister Rogers is one of Paul's pop culture heroes. So take of your shoes, slip into your cardigan and take a trolley to the land of Fanboy and Know-it-all! Won't you be our neighbor?
