Species (1995)

Headed to Vidiots tonight to see Species on the big screen.

my usual plan of attack is to start the movie. then start the pod. by the time they start talking about the movie i've already finished it.

Hell yeah

Parts of this movie have been living in my head and I didn’t know what the movie was, but then the boyz start describing it and it all comes back! 😂 This isn’t the first time it’s happened either.

I work for the military and have to go to Dugway Proving Grounds every couple of years for tests. Dugway is one of the few bases where civilians can live on base and people who work there get extra remote pay because of how far away from everything it is. Dugway used to be a place where they tested all kinds of nasty shit like chemical weapons and nerve agents. When you work there you get the standard test range "don't touch any unexploded ordnance" warning with a footnote that it could potentially poison you as well.

Is it me or are the boyz’ audio tracks out of synch for the last 30-45 min ?

I feel like they missed a big opportunity with Whitaker's empath character at the end. If he's been so connected and sensitive to Sil's feelings, shouldn't he be in ABSOLUTE AGONY while she's being killed?

I recently watched Species 2 for the first time ever and I hope you guys would cover that one as well... Everything is amped up, so it's grosser and hornier and the effects are kind of worse also. It's a wild ride, very fun.

My coworker was the digital puppeteer for this movie, via Boss Studios. He told me the creature animation was done with a physical puppet with white nodes on parts to capture the moving parts. This was super early in cgi, so they were kinda pioneering this shit and the animation could not be done with real time rendering. So he kinda had to animate the whole sequence in physical space first, upload it to the computer, then it rendered it out completely at the end. The deconstruct the footage to find parts that are not working. Unlike now, the special effects companies were not really specialized, so it was all stop shop deal. The studio did practical effects, digital, and I think Pyro. He also worked on filming the skull train sequence. He has worked on a bunch of Action Boyz movies and its pretty cool to hear about how they did some of the stuff

"Pres" has to be a Madsen nod to Elvis right? His whole vibe is like a lazy Elvis

All this “Sil” talk...with Sopranos on the brain I keep picturing a horny lubed-up Steven van Zandt skulking around

What’s the Goldblum choking thing about?

Thirty seconds. She went like this, he went like that. I said to Hollywood, "Where'd your trunks go?" Hollywood says, "WHERE DID WHO GO?”

And we got a bonus of Gabrus and Rodgers on CBB today.

This movie was amazing to see in the theater on LSD or so I've heard

Monk-a-chunka you know?

Glad to hear the question I asked Stanger on Dumbbells sent him into a “ITS TIME” spiral that will be heard for weeks.

My friend Sarah and I walked into Bar Marmont on Sunset around July 1998. Madsen was doing a poetry reading. It was amazing. Sarah was the type that would annoyingly approach any celebrity and talk their ear off. Madsen was super nice. He left in that Cadillac from Reservoir dogs.

“Hey Sil, how’s your mother? She still from space?”

Man, Stanger couldn’t have fucked that Keith David clarification up worse.

Kinda seems like there's a slight audio issue with Rodgers feed, almost like it worked fine during recording but is a second or two late during the episode? There's a lot of talking over each other that doesn't seem natural.

I saw this movie when it came out. Near the end of the movie, I noticed a bunch of people starting to get up and run out of the theater. I wonder what they were doing and then I felt a burning sensation in my throat. Someone decided to spray mace up into the air and it slowly spread through the theater. As everyone was running out, I covered my mouth and nose, slowly walked out, and watched the end of the movie. Cops and ambulances showed up, some kid got arrested, and we all got free tickets. Good times.

I’ve never even heard of this movie. And I’m a hearing buff.

Ben wasn’t too far off when he said Dugway sounds like a camp where they torture the gay out of kids — the Army used to hold the Desert Phase of Ranger School there. Yes, I know this would have been better as a voicemail.

I rewatched both this and the sequel for the first time since the 90s, and the sleaze factor really ramps up in the 2nd one when they introduce Creepy Dude Alien who seems way less picky about who he fucks, and Henstridge spends the the first 70 minutes of the movie in a glass cage watching baseball and pretending to experience the guy's orgasms. Also including a psychic on your team to move the plot along just feels like cheating.
