French term or phrase: le cinéma du deuxième rayon
Il y avait là Pierre, un garçon joufflu, spirituel en diable, au style mordant, qui signait Jonathan des notes sur le « cinéma bis », c’est-à-dire le cinéma du deuxième rayon (péplums, films fantastiques, etc.),

How would you say cinéma du deuxième rayon .

I have aleady used alternative for the word 'bis', so I don't know what to put here.

Thanks
