The "Species" Franchise And Seven Species Salad

NOTE: This podcast was rebranded on 5/29/25 as "Horror Movie Franchises".  This week we explore the lesser-known "Species" franchise. It should not be confused with the "Subspecies" franchise (which we reviewed last week). "Species" is a sci-fi series about alien/human hybrids while "Subspecies" is about vampires.  The "Species" franchise consists of four movies. My advise is just watch the first movie unless you're a die hard fan. This was Natasha Henstridge's first film role. She does a great job. There is also a surprisingly star studded cast including: Sir Ben Kingsley, Marg Helgenberger, Forest Whitaker, Michael Mardsen and Alfred Molina. It is often hard to come up with a recipe tie-in for the franchise I'm reviewing. It was especially difficult this time around. The only thing I could find was Seven Species Salad.
