In space, no one can hear your trivia questions. This week, we dive into the dark void with Alien Movie Trivia. That is, movies from the Alien film franchise (not just films with aliens in them).
The first movie from 1979, was probably my first horror film, albeit heavily edited for television. But still, the franchise has stuck with me (and audiences) for a long time now.
When you’re done with Alien Movie Trivia, please take a moment to peruse our Dorky Geeky Nerdy Shop. We’ve got T-shirts and more that look cool and help keep the engines running and the monsters fed. Thank you to everyone that have supported the show these past three years!

Hey crew, this is your host, Brian Rollins and I’ve got episode 156 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast for you today. This week, we’re covering the Alien movies.
