Baseless Speculation

Last year Peter Weyland did a TED talk and now we’re here, watching the new trailer for Alien: Romulus. In space, no one can hear you suckin on a wolf titty. Which is a shame, as surely the wolf milk is what gave those twins the power to build the twin cities of Rome and Reme? Either way, we need to be funding more research into the power of wolf titty milk instead of spending all our hard earned space dollars on xenomorphs or whatever. But here we are again, having some sneaky secret android convincing a bunch of plucky space-farers to capture da perfect organism so our beloved Weyland-Yutani can use Alien jelly to make da Olympics good. Come with us on this wild ride as we poorly remember the Alien franchise, try to figure out why Alien: Romulus is set between Alien and Aliens and learn too much about the Alien comics. Jackson thinks the problem with the Alien films is a problem of escalation and let me tell you, the comics clearly do NOT have that problem. Did you know the Gorilla-Alien or Gorilla-Morph happens when a facehugger face hugs a gorilla? It’s big, blue, could be described as “brutish” will walks on their knuckles. They are known as being highly aggressive, as opposed to the regular Alien which is more docile so only regularly aggressive? Or maybe they just mean it’s not as sneaky. Love to swing on vine though!

Superman, like Baseless Speculation, is back baby! His big S stands for hope and that's exactly what we all are for this film! The boys are a big fan of Corenswet as a name, are a little afraid of anyone named Lachlan, especially if they're a lawyer and get lost in the blitz riff. Zammit still has faith in Gunn, Jackson is excited that Superman is doing something different and JD has a very special message for all those Snyder fans. Will this film be good? Will the audience go see it? Will it crack a billy? We don't know, the only thing we do know is that this was definitely recorded in 2025.

It's a new year, we're branching out from apes into horses (just like how I assume evolution did?) so this weeks horse face is that horses cannot burp or vomit. Their throat sphincter is just too strong. If it was any weaker they'd vomit every time they went for a run which would just be an incredible thing to watch. I guess this also means horses are very easy to poison. There ya go, two horse facts! What a way to open 2025.
