  • 63. In Space, No One Can Hear You Rank - Ranking All 9 Alien Movies
    Dec 11 2025

    Join host Stephen Nicholson on Trimming the Movie Fat as we venture into deep space to rank all nine films in the Alien franchise.

    From the claustrophobic terror of Alien to the action-packed chaos of Aliens, and through the divisive prequels and spin-offs, Stephen breaks down what works, what doesn’t, and which entries truly earn their place in sci-fi horror history.

    Expect sharp insights, bold opinions, and maybe a few surprises as we decide which Xenomorph reigns supreme.

    In space, no one can hear you rank… but we’re doing it anyway!
