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!

Venom: The Last Dance

The third instalment of the spectacular Venom franchise is nearly upon us! A small part in the much beloved Sony Spider-Man Cinematic Universe that is yet to feature a single Spider-Man! But at least they have vampire, bird, cat-guy and maybe Spider-Women? Although Madame Web might not be part of the SSCU now? It was just a cool thing that happened! Don’t worry about it! We’re not here to talk about that, we’re here to talk about Venom! And more importantly how does Venom kill that horse he turns into? Off a cliff? Into a helicopter like an incredible horse torpedo? Or is it just ground into a red smear by going to fast? These are the important questions we here at Baseless Speculation want to know! There’s also some cool bug looking lad that wants to eat Eddie or maybe a plan that we all think resembles the xenophage from comics, but Jackson thinks they might be those Venom predators that are bones whom ate symbiotes from a limited series that was not popular nor fun to read. Anyways, Kraven comes out this Christmas and we know you’re all excited to see it multiple times! So why not join us in the Kraven Quintupple Challenge?! Where you attempt to see Kraven 5 times in one day! You wake up on December 17th get dressed and head out the door for a Pre-Breakfast Kraven followed closely by Early Morning Kraven then a quick stop to Gold Class for Lunch Kraven and while that’s digesting have a brief Post-Lunch Kraven then it’s back to Gold Class for Dinner Kraven and then top it all off with a Nigh Cap Kraven! It’s truely the best way to get into the festive spirit. And you can help ruin our Christmas by becoming truly Based with a Baseless Speculation+ subscription available from our website or through Apple Podcasts.

Did you know that in Earth 8101 Venom is a full on gorilla, part of the Thundermonks team and loves to throw his feces at his teammates. Comics are good.

The Penguin TV Show

After the whirlwind success of Patfleck’s The Batman, audience all over the world was clamouring for more! And we here at Baseless Speculation are no different (unless we said differently in the Based Reaction episode of The Batman, we cannot remember if we liked it or not)! The last time we had a think about Gotham, it was flooded and underwater and Paul Dano made a great face. Jackson also has a vague memory of Batman stuck in his Batmobile lost under a bridge calling Alfred for help. It’s safe to say we do not remember The Batman. But we are excited for The Penguin as a gritty mob TV series. What’s going to happen now with the power vacuum left by the Falcones? Is Oswald going to slowly rise up the ranks or join forces with Sofia and tear it apart from the inside like how he says in the trailer? What powers, if any, will Clayface have? And most importantly, when does Cobblepot buy two penguins from the docks? Our money’s on episode 5. Let’s all get excited for the soon to be hit on HBO’s Time Warner’s MAX as studio execs around the world can be heard screaming at James Gunn “why can’t Patfleck be our Batman?? It made money!”

Did you know that some Japanese macaques love to relax in natural hot springs? After a long day at the being a monkey factory, they love to soak their weary bones in some fabulously hot water. They learned to do this by copying visitors to the resort area. It goes to show that while we can learn a lot from our furry cousins, they can learn a lot from us.
