291 // The Inside Story of Alien: Earth, From the People Who Made It

One of the great thrills of covering Alien: Earth' s release was getting to speak with so many people involved with the show. We aired many of these interviews throughout the season as part of our aftershow, but we had to leave almost two hours' worth on the cutting room floor for the sake of brevity. Presented here, for the first time as a single, cohesive audio documentary, are interviews with twenty-one of the key creatives who brought Alien: Earth to life. In approximate order of appearance, you'll hear: Jeff Russo (Composer) Maggie Phillips (Music Supervisor) David Rysdahl ("Arthur") Babou Ceesay ("Morrow") Richa Moorjani ("Zaveri") Sandra Yi Sencindiver ("Yutani") Kit Young ("Tootles") Ugla Hauksdóttir (Director of Episodes 4 and 6) Samuel Blenkin ("Boy Kavalier") Alex Lawthor ("Hermit") Lily Newmark ("Nibs") Jonathan Ajayi ("Smee") Adarsh Gourav ("Slightly") Dana Gonzalez (Director of Episodes 2, 3, 7, and 8; DP; EP) Steve Painter (Lead Prosthetics Supervisor) Wētā Workshop's Joe Dunckley and Vaughan Flanagan Cameron Brown (Creature Suit Performer) Andy Nicholson (Production Designer) Erana James ("Curly") Noah Hawley (Creator; Director of 1 and 5; Writer, EP) A handful of the actors came back at multiple points throughout the season, so you will get to hear from them at various points as well! We are hugely grateful to FX for helping facilitate all of these.
