  Speaker 3: a half minutes long, and we see the scientific birth
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: of one of the aliens. Okay, I mean and and
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: like I said, it's it's very graphic, like cells dividing.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: It starts with cells dividing. There's lots of slime. Yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it starts with the cells dividing.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I can hear them. And I thought, well, did I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: say s M R?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: But no, And then the cells continue to divide and
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: grow and oh yeah, I'll just fast forward and you
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: can see it growing. And my favorite part is the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: little clause that it's so cute that the baby alien
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: has you have to put no booties on his hand
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: so that he doesn't scratch himself.
• 1:34

  Speaker 1: This is just a short you know, promo for the show.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: This ship.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the universe. You want a unique deadly species.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Monsters Alien Earth coming this summer, that's all right. Yeah,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: it's an original series and looks like it's going to
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: be a lot of fun, especially if you're like me,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: a fan of the Alien franchise Who Is. It takes
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: place in twenty one, twenty two years before the original
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Alien with you know, Ripley and everybody. After a whalen
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Utannie ship has crashed on humanity's home planet. Unfortunately, a
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: group of soldiers go about investigating and discover some nasty
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: secrets inside. With the planet at stake, the team will
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: have to survive all those life forms and the company's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: own agendas. So you've got Sydney Chandler, Timothy Oliphant, oh
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Alex the author. Yeah, because it's a Josh Holly, they've
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: worked together before. So sometime this summer on FX and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: on Hulu as well. Now, whalen Utani is the corporation
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: that wants the alien for the Weapons Division.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Now there's in the Alien Predator world.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: They apparently exist in the same universe, even though they
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: were separate franchises at first, the writers brought them together
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Alien versus Predator, Alien versus Predator, and you can thank
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Comic Books for that. But Predator bad Lands, which we
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: got the trailer for on Friday, keen eyed, and I
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: mean that sincerely, keen eyed.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: People. Notice that el Fanning, who's in.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: It, is at one point tied up somehow, but her
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: eyes are white and wide open.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: She's not a person.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: She's wanted like ash. You know, she's a robot. And
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: if you look at her eyes, apparently there's the w
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: logo of the business of whaland Utana apparently, So I
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: want to watch that as well.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: You decide I'm not willing to make that leap.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Carry likes to wait for the thing to happen exactly exactly.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Let's see. So there's that. Go and take a look
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: at those trailers. Let's see. Oh, here we go. You
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: ever wonder why Yoda talks the way he does?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Exactly, because I wonder.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I knew, well this is this is a question that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: has been asked many times, and George Lucas raised his
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: head up just long enough to say, oh, you want
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: me to answer that, yeah, uh, he said, for any
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: he says. George Lucas was asked about Yoda's particular speech
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: patterns during a recent anniversary screening for The Empire, and
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: his answer was, I had to figure out a way
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to get people to actually listen to what he was saying, especially.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Twelve year olds.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, he says, if you speak in regular English, people
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: don't listen that much. But if he had an accent
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: or it's really hard to understand what he's saying, they
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: focus on what he's saying. So, because he's a philosopher,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not playing.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So there's that another little thing for you to watch.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And this is just funny.
• 5:19

• 6:03
  Speaker 3: of Star Trek, Star World going SpongeBob.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: It's where no one has gone.
