Earlier this week the brand new Alien podcast – The Alien Minute Podcast – started posting their first episodes. This latest Alien podcast has an interesting premise; each episode’s discussion is based on a minute of footage from the theatrical cut of Alien (inspired by a similar podcast that does the same for Star Wars).
The Alien Minute Podcast is releasing daily (though not at weekends) and episodes run between 10 to 20 minutes. The series is hosted by John Ingle, a cartoonist and screenwriter, and Mitch Brian, a screenwriter, filmmaker and educator who has previously worked on Batman: The Animated Series.
The Alien Minute Podcast – a brand new daily Alien podcast that looks at Alien, one minute at a time.
John and Mitch have released five episodes so far so they’re only 5 minutes into the film but it’s a really intriguing premise and well worth a listen! Head on over to their website and check them out. The episodes are also available on iTunes. You can also follow them on Twitter.
Im on min 53 and have listened to the Covenant episode.
I've been looking forward to this! Gotta finish re-listening to River of Pain and then I'll listen.
I'm really looking forward to Aliens minute, which should kick off this Sunday/Monday! Man, I feel like I've been waiting for ages! lol
Great pod isn't it. They don't hold back either and I agree with so much of what they say.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
The show is still on for June 12 but we will NOT be doing the Director's Cut. One of our gracious listeners came through with a rip of the Theatrical Cut, so I'll be taking that three weeks of my life back. I hope this isn't a disappointment to anyone. We will still be extensively covering the scenes that were added to the Director's Cut.
"Official Announcement!
The Aliens Minute Podcast will be premiering on Monday, June 12. I had initially intended for it to be June 5 but we had to change things up a bit due to technical difficulties.
We will also be doing the Director's Cut this time around as there is apparently no way to get a digital copy of the Theatrical Cut for us to chop up into clips. So that means we'll be going for about 3 more weeks than we intended.
We've also added a virtual tip jar at alienminute.com if you want to support the show. Just click on the little pig on the top left of the homepage.
Thanks for your patience everyone! See you very soon."
So, is there any chance of adding comics to the downloads section if they are out of print? If so, I've recently created high quality PDF copies of countdown and crusade. If I can offer them up to put somewhere accessible to everyone that'd be cool!
There's an extra one (and all the other films) on that downloads page.
Also, I have listened to minutes 1 & 2. Loving it. Great insight to the cast and there priors in this first 2 mins.
2 pre-Prometheus scripts there.
It's there at the bottom dude.
Bit late now though right lol.
Anyway, while off topic, my favorite AvPG podcast so far was the one about the original (or at least an earlier) version of the Prometheus script, titled "Alien: engineers." That story made so much more sense and sounded very good! I'm hoping alien covenant will be more like THAT script and ditch most of the Prometheus jargon... covenant looks to be going that route for the most part, but to be honest, I'm not a fan of the spore infection we saw in the trailers... I'm trying to keep an open mind though...
Thank for letting us know.
Got another long one coming up. 2 hours and 45 minutes on William Gibson's Alien 3. I've got another half hour left to listen to. I'm aiming to get it finishing on Tuesday after the bank holiday weekend.
I had actually spent a week in the hospital with a collapsed lung last summer... this podcast kept me entertained for the majority of that time! :-)
What's up next from AVP Galaxy ?

I saw a post on Facebook saying they're shooting to return this May... may is going to be just as eventful for the alien franchise as 4/26! :-)
Certainly is. John Ingles posted a pic of him reading the Alan Dean Foster Aliens novelisation ... it's coming very soon! Can't wait.
Glad they confirmed they're doing Aliens next too.
Agreed on that too. Really enjoy that TV show.
Great to see Mitch & John confirmed Aliens is up next.
I f**king wish.
Sounds like they've confirmed an Aliens minute for next March (ish, maybe). On the Alien Minute FB group.
Completely agree with all of that. Nice new avatar too - Hicks is Barry Allen?
