The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 69 (Species)
The Uncut Gems PodcastThe Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
In this episode of the show we are continuing our Shapeshifters and Body Snatchers series by talking about Species, a 1995 merger of science-fiction with an erotic thriller. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how much effort and money was spent on this movie and what the return on this investment ended up being, Natasha Henstridge spending most of her time on the screen nude, Alfred Molina's pillow talk, empathy as a superpower, hotel elevators leading straight to hell, Michael Madsen's flashy professionalism and whether Species is closer to Alien or Terminator 2.
