Species II (1998) - Episode 136

The Rewind Movie Podcast

Show Notes

"This isn't the f**king X-Files, goddammit!" No, this is a direct sequel to the surprise 1995 naked Natasha Henstridge sci-fi smash hit... it's Species II.

Gali and Devlin have a close encounter with an awfully icky alien, as the sequels creators have gender-swapped the intergalactic sexual predator with unsurprisingly unpleasant results. Will a sloshed Michael Madsen, a checked-out Marg Helgenberger, and a regrettably 90s racially stereotyped astronaut-turned-sidekick take this story to strange new places, or will it all just peter out in an abandoned barn full of gunk?
