Coy Jandreau (DC Studios), Tara Erickson, & Aaron Alexander react to Alien: Earth Episodes 1 & 2 — the first ever TV series in the Alien franchise from Noah Hawley (Fargo), set in 2120 just two years before Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic. This FX/Hulu sci-fi horror prequel takes us to a corporate-ruled Earth where Weyland-Yutani and upstart tech empire Prodigy clash over the aftermath of a crashed research ship in New Siam, unleashing new terrors, including Xenomorphs and other nightmarish threats. Featuring Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis, and Adarsh Gourav, Alien: Earth expands the universe while diving into themes of corporatism, ethics, and survival. We break down the shocking reveals, Lost Boys synthetic program, jaw-dropping horror set pieces, and how it connects to the films: Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Alien³ (1992), Alien: Resurrection (1997), Prometheus (2012), Alien: Covenant (2017), plus crossovers Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). From Easter eggs and practical effects callbacks to philosophical debates about what it means to be human, this reaction covers every scream, shock, and spine-tingling moment from Episodes 1 & 2 of Alien: Earth. #AlienEarth #Xenomorph #AlienSeries #AlienEarthReaction #Alien1979 #Aliens #Alien3 #AlienResurrection #Prometheus #AlienCovenant #AVP #AliensVsPredator #Xenomorph #NoahHawley #FX #Hulu #DisneyPlus #SciFiReaction #HorrorReaction #MovieReaction #TVShowReaction #AlienFranchise #FirstTimeWatching #Predator Alien Vs Predator Reaction: https://youtu.be/b-r1NC3Mdeo Aliens (1986) Reaction https://youtu.be/XtSmzBdejxk Mars Attacks Reaction: https://youtu.be/SDHT57BO4LU 0:00 Checking In! 1:29 Announcement! 2:29 ALIEN EARTH Reaction 34:09 LIQUID IV 35:38 ALIEN EARTH 1x2 Reaction 1:02:32 ALIEN EARTH Review Follow Coy Jandreau: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoyJandreau Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coyjandreau/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoyJandreau Follow *Tara Erickson* on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ twitter: https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow Aaron On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh is my favourite character, the acting in this show is top notch! Hermit's fear in the lift, after he was chased by the Xenomorph was totally believable, superb acting.

She did change the computer thing with her brothers request to go. That's why she said I made him stay.
