Johnny Spoiler reviews The Terror Within (1989) and The Terror Within II (1991), Roger Corman's forgotten sci-fi horror films packed with mutants and Alien rip-offs.
Johnny Spoiler crawls into the radioactive ruins of Roger Corman's post-apocalyptic creature features The Terror Within (1989) and The Terror Within II (1991).

These bargain-bin Alien knockoffs have everything: mutant monster babies, rubber-suit wrestlers, suspiciously familiar blowtorches, and creatures that can survive lasers but somehow lose fights with ceiling fans.
Johnny digs into the bizarre Hollywood connections behind these cult horror sequels, including Andrew Stevens' surprisingly massive producing career, his legendary mother Stella Stevens, and R. Lee Ermey's refreshingly practical reason for appearing in the sequel: he needed to pay for his house.
