Amanda and the Alien (1995)

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re exploring Amanda and the Alien (1995), also known as Alien Love, a made-for-cable sci-fi comedy based on a short story by Robert Silverberg. J.D. and Randy take a look at this oddball story about a shape-shifting alien on the run and the young woman who decides to help it, with a cast that includes Nicole Eggert, Michael Dorn, and Stacey Keach.

We talk about the film’s predictable story, the strange character dynamics, and the low-budget effects that add a certain 90s charm. From Animorphs-style transformations to scenes that leave more questions than answers, Amanda and the Alien stands out as a curious relic of 90s TV filmmaking. Tune in for our full breakdown and see where we land on this one.
