Episode Details

This week on Thumb War, we dive into Alien: Earth Episode 3, breaking down the mysterious bond between Marcy, Queen Wendy, and the Xenomorphs — plus all the chaos that came with the flashing lights, wild sound design, and that divisive Maggot Brain music cue.

But first, in our Trailer Trash / Entertainment News segment, we cover:

• New details on Stranger Things 5 and the Duffer Brothers’ upcoming projects The Burrows and Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen
• Quentin Tarantino’s “final” film plans, David Fincher stepping in for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2, and why Tarantino might never really retire
• Eddie Murphy stepping into the role of Inspector Clouseau in a new Pink Panther reboot
• The upcoming Highlander remake starring Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe, and Dave Bautista
• First impressions of Netflix’s Black Rabbit with Jude Law & Jason Bateman

Then, we circle back for a full Alien: Earth Ep 3 recap & review — including what’s working, what’s frustrating, and where we think the story is headed.

If you’re into Alien franchise lore, sci-fi TV recaps, and offbeat entertainment takes, you’re in the right place.
