In this electrifying episode of the Amazing Pop Culture Podcast, we crank up the synths and dive headfirst into two of 2025’s most buzzworthy sci-fi and action revivals! First, we’re hitting the sun-soaked streets of Miami for the latest on the Miami Vice movie reboot – Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) is directing this high-octane Universal flick, with Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler) scripting a fresh take on Crockett and Tubbs’ pastel-suited drug wars. We break down the cast rumors, how it stacks up against Michael Mann’s 2006 cult flop, and whether this ’80s icon can speedboat its way to blockbuster glory.

Then, we blast off to a terrifying Earth-bound invasion in FX’s Alien: Earth, the franchise’s first TV series from Noah Hawley (Fargo). Premiering August 12 on Hulu, this prequel (set just two years before the original Alien) follows Sydney Chandler’s young survivor and a squad of soldiers uncovering xenomorph horrors after a crashed spaceship unleashes hell on our planet. We geek out over the Easter eggs for die-hards, Ridley Scott’s exec producer stamp, and why this grounded twist might just redefine the xenoverse – plus, early buzz on its $250M+ budget and Sigourney Weaver’s glowing praise.
