Episode 174 – Species 2 (1998)

from Dark Night of the Podcast · host Troy Escamilla, Roger Conners

Troy and Roger blast off into Species II , a sequel so wild it makes alien reproduction look like a government-funded soap opera. They dig into the film’s unapologetically horny horror, questionable science, and the endless supply of slime and skin. From astronauts gone rogue to DNA gone haywire, the guys unpack the movie’s mix of sci-fi spectacle and late-’90s sleaze. Along the way, they debate the film’s surprisingly solid practical effects, its, uh, unique approach to gender politics, and that unforgettable finale. It’s part alien invasion, part erotic fever dream — and all ridiculous fun. Find out more at https://dark-night-of-the-podcast.pinecast.co
