ALIEN EARTH -- Monsters, Corporations, and the Quest to Become Gods!

Send us a text This week on The Fixate & Binge Podcast, I go beyond the jump scares and alien horror of FX/Hulu’s ALIEN EARTH to uncover the deeper philosophical questions lurking beneath.  *What does it mean to be conscious?  *Who controls our autonomy in a world dominated by corporate titans acting as modern-day world powers?  *And what does the pursuit of knowledge and exploration—whether into deep space or deep AI—say about humanity’s relentless drive to become gods, or perhaps greater than God Himself? Through the prism of ALIEN EARTH, I’ll examine our present reality: corporations that rival nations, the commodification of human individuality, and the ethical risks of unchecked ambition. Along the way, I’ll weave in Ridley Scott’s BLADE RUNNER (because of course I"m never not going to drop a reference to BR when I have the chance), exploring what it means to exist when identity, consciousness, and even the soul can be manufactured. ALIEN EARTH isn’t just about monsters—it’s about us, the monsters we may already be, and the uncertain future we’re building. Thank you for listening! You can find and follow us with the links below!
