Amanda and Chris boldly go… into chaos. This week they lower their shields and dive headfirst into The Naked Now—that infamous early TNG episode where the Enterprise crew basically throws a starship-wide frat party.

Amanda can’t stop laughing at Data’s “fully functional” reveal, while Chris has strong feelings about how an android could possibly catch a virus passed on by humans.

Together they ask the big questions:

• Why did Starfleet apparently skip HR training on “space alcohol”?

• Was Tasha’s choice of partner a bold move or a tactical error?

• And is this secretly the Bachelor in Space episode nobody asked for?

It’s messy, it’s campy, it’s hilarious—and Amanda and Chris are here for all of it. Join them as they rate, roast, and revel in one of the strangest early voyages of The Next Generation.

In part two of our deep-dive into Alien (1979), Amanda, Chris, and Zach pick up right where the chestburster left off—things are messier, tenser, and a whole lot deadlier aboard the Nostromo. The trio unpacks the rising paranoia, the brilliance of the xenomorph’s slow-burn terror, and Ash’s shocking betrayal (milk blood, anyone?).

They also get into Ripley’s evolution into one of the most iconic final girls in sci-fi horror, debate whether the cat Jonesy is secretly the smartest crew member, and reenact some of the most suspenseful scenes in cinematic history (with sound effects).

It’s part breakdown, part meltdown, and all love for Ridley Scott’s haunting masterpiece.

Warning: Facehuggers may be listening.

In this episode of Girls Nerd Out, Amanda, Chris, and Zach boldly go where no crew member should go without a flamethrower — deep into 1979’s Alien (Part One). Join them as they break down Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror classic, scream about space eggs, question the company’s shady health insurance plan, and wonder why no one trusts the cat.

Will Amanda side with Ripley or the Xenomorph? Will Chris find the chestburster scene amusing? And is Zach secretly rooting for the facehugger? Spoiler: yes.
