'Alien: Earth' and the Strange 'Ice Age' Reference Explained

When Alien: Earth debuted its first two episodes, there were certain things to expect. Xenomorphs, commentary on corporate greed, and deeper philosophical questions about artificial intelligence. Maybe even a Predator (no luck there... yet). One thing I don't think anyone expected was Ice Age references. Yes, in Alien: Earth's first two episodes, there are multiple references to Ice Age. What makes this even odder is it's not even the first Ice Age, the most iconic entry in the franchise, and the one that was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated film. It's Ice Age: Continental Drift, the fourth film in the franchise, with a 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
