Alien Xenomorph - Prometheus Explained is here! Amanda returns to the Girls Nerd Out mic, this time joined by special guest Zach, for a deep dive into Prometheus, Ridley Scott’s ambitious and polarizing prequel to the Alien saga. Together, they break down the film’s stunning visuals, chilling atmosphere, and bold attempt to answer the ultimate sci-fi question: where do we come from—and who created us?

The duo explores the film’s key themes—from the cold curiosity of David the android to the tragic hubris of the human crew—and unpack the mysterious lore of the Engineers. Was humanity a grand experiment or a terrible mistake? Why did the Engineers want us gone? And does Prometheus succeed as both a standalone story and a foundation for the Alien mythology?

Expect hot takes, philosophical rabbit holes, and a healthy dose of admiration (and frustration) for one of sci-fi’s most visually stunning and intellectually provocative entries. Whether you’re a die-hard Alien fan or just love your space horror with a side of existential dread, this episode is for you.
