#204: Predator (1987) · What's Your (Least) Favorite Scary Movie?

• 0:06
  Hello, What's your least favorite scary movie?
• 0:10
  I ain't got time to bleed. You got time to duck?
• 0:13
  Welcome to watch your Least Favorite Scary Movie, The
• 0:15
  podcast where we talk about the good, the bad, the ugly and the
• 0:18
  absurd, and all of our favorite and least favorite scary movies.
• 0:20
  Because we believe every horror movie rightfully has its fan
• 0:23
  base. Even if we don't always get it.
• 0:25
  My name is Travis. My name's Jesse.
• 0:26
  And it's time for all of us to collectively.
• 0:29
  Get to the chopper. Because we are talking about
• 0:33
  Predator this week, everybody. Yeah, we're getting getting
• 0:38
  real, real good with our shit this week.
• 0:41
  OK, cool. Just as I am with that.
• 0:44
  Word sentences going I wasn't either.
• 0:46
  I was like Michael Scott. I was like, sometimes I just
• 0:48
  start a sentence and I don't know where it's going and.
• 0:51
  Way, way less of a thrilling sentence than that story you
• 0:54
  were telling me last night at dinner about going to a
• 0:57
  restaurant with your class. Just to learn how to do
• 1:00
  properly. Just to learn how to properly
• 1:01
  eat. The restaurant that was located
• 1:03
  in a hotel so I filled trip to another state.
• 1:07
  I forgot to mention that part too.
• 1:09
  This is wild. Last night, guys, the way he was
• 1:12
  telling me this. OK.
• 1:13
  So yeah, we're talking about Predator this week.
• 1:15
  So that's what we're going to be getting into here in a little
• 1:18
  bit. But before we do, do we have
• 1:20
  anything we need to announce? I don't think so actually.
• 1:26
  No bonus episodes or anything. We did just do a recording for
• 1:29
  another podcast, but that's not coming out until October, so
• 1:33
  we'll let you know about that in a little bit.
• 1:36
  OK, well I have our poll results from last week's movie, which
• 1:40
  was Winnie the Pooh Button Honey, and we just wanted to
• 1:44
  know. We apparently stumbled upon the
• 1:47
  age-old question did not do this in.
• 1:49
  Yeah, we did not know that this has been an ongoing debate on
• 1:51
  the Internet. It's just something that we like
• 1:53
  asked on the episode and we had a lot of people chime in on
• 1:57
  this. So are the stripes on piglets
• 1:59
  torso Tommy, is that just his tummy or is that a tank top that
• 2:03
  he's wearing? So over on Instagram, 78% say
• 2:07
  tank top, 22% say Tommy, and on Twitter, 64% say tank top and
• 2:14
  36% say tummy. So everybody agrees with me that
• 2:18
  this, well, not everybody, but my theory wins that it's a tank
• 2:21
  top. That's not 'cause there's no
• 2:23
  striped pigs out there in the world, and Joe also said that
• 2:26
  too. So like multiple people have
• 2:28
  that thought. OK.
• 2:30
  But if you look at the original books by A.
• 2:32
  A Milne The illustrations that are in there even when
• 2:35
  everybody's Nike, he's got stripes on them.
• 2:38
  Well, he might be the only one that's not Nikki.
• 2:40
  I'm telling you, his little baby piglet wrinkles.
• 2:43
  Babies have babies have fat rolls.
• 2:45
  Pigs have fat rolls. That's what it is he's got.
• 2:47
  He's got them sweet little baby piglet fat rolls.
• 2:50
  Those are not fat rolls. They are they.
• 2:52
  Are not. You're just going to go in there
• 2:54
  and you wouldn't? OK, all right, let's stop
• 3:01
  getting weird. That's how I keep.
• 3:03
  Getting weird. OK, so Predator released June
• 3:07
  12th, 1987. We watched it on our Blu-ray
• 3:12
  courtesy of Chad. Thank you Chad for giving us
• 3:15
  this Blu-ray, because we had never seen this movie until you
• 3:18
  finally insisted by handing us a copy of it and say watch.
• 3:22
  It yeah. You made our lives better.
• 3:25
  I mean, you make our lives better by being our friend, but
• 3:27
  you definitely made our lives better by putting us in an era
• 3:30
  where we have seen Predator. However, other wap shop watch
• 3:34
  options include streaming on Hulu or Fubo TV.
• 3:38
  Or as Chad said, you can hit him up because he somehow always
• 3:42
  ends up with extra copies of Predators.
• 3:44
  So if you, any listeners know Chad and you need to copy, he's
• 3:48
  your he's your guy. He's he's got like a shit ton of
• 3:51
  coffee, some predator for. Some reason.
• 3:53
  Written by Jim Thomas and John Thomas.
• 3:56
  Directed by John Mcteeran, music by Alan Silvestri and special
• 4:01
  effects makeup by Al Desarro with the creature design by Stan
• 4:06
  Winston. Stan Winston.
• 4:09
  Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch, Carl Weathers as Dylan
• 4:14
  Alpita, Carlio as Anna, Bill Duke as Mac, Jesse Ventura as
• 4:19
  Blaine, Sonny Landon as Billy, Richard Chavez as Poncho and
• 4:24
  Shane Black as Hawkins. OK, All right, Jesse, time for
• 4:29
  our favorite game on the show. Budget or budget?
• 4:34
  I feel like it would be cheating for me to guess on this because
• 4:37
  I heard you watching the special features when I woke up this
• 4:39
  morning. I woke up right when they were
• 4:41
  saying what they're talking about.
• 4:42
  Yeah, wow. OK, so.
• 4:45
  Just for the game, we still gotta play it.
• 4:47
  Is it a budget or bug 10? I mean, Arnie's biceps alone are
• 4:52
  probably about worth 10 million I'd say.
• 4:55
  So I'm gonna go with budget. OK, it is budget.
• 4:58
  Not quite as budgeted as I would have guessed, though.
• 5:00
  It's only a $15 million budget. Wow.
• 5:04
  So they made a lot with little OK as they said.
• 5:08
  They said most action movies you're lucky if you get by with
• 5:12
  50 million like but 15 they made it work I.
• 5:15
  Know. And that's really surprising me
• 5:17
  because I just keep We even said this last night.
• 5:20
  Like I kept thinking of Tropic Thunder.
• 5:21
  I know. Yeah.
• 5:22
  And like all the explosions and them being in the jungle.
• 5:25
  And I remember it was like a whole report about how much
• 5:27
  money they wasted messing up the explosion shot.
• 5:30
  Yeah. With Danny McBride.
• 5:33
  Opening box office was $12 million and the worldwide gross
• 5:37
  was 98 million. Hell yeah.
• 5:38
  One of the highest IMDb scores we've had on the show 7.8.
• 5:43
  You know what? Yeah.
• 5:44
  Yeah, I get it for sure. But I was shocked to see like
• 5:47
  this, have that, have a score. OK, so I have pulled 3 movies
• 5:53
  from 1987 to compare this to. OK, they're not going to be
• 5:57
  anything like Predators because there's not a lot of horror
• 6:00
  movies out there that were like this at the time.
• 6:02
  OK, but since I like the cast of this movie so much, I decided to
• 6:06
  pick 3 movies with what I consider interesting casting
• 6:10
  decisions. OK, I like this theme and I'm
• 6:13
  very curious to see what you consider interesting casting
• 6:16
  decisions. Well, First off, we have Blood
• 6:18
  Harvest, which stars tiny. Tim, I was going to say that's
• 6:22
  the Tiny Tim movie, right? Yep.
• 6:23
  Tiny Tim. He plays a clown and he walks
• 6:26
  around with a little ukulele and he's kind of he's killing
• 6:29
  people, but also just kind of being Tiny Tim.
• 6:31
  Just tiptoeing through the tulips.
• 6:33
  Just tiptoeing through the tulips.
• 6:34
  OK, Yep, that released January 1st, 1987.
• 6:38
  Don't have budget or gross information, but I do have the
• 6:41
  IMDb. I bet it's on that episode of
• 6:44
  Last Draw then. And it probably is.
• 6:46
  They even had like a conversation with Tiny Tim
• 6:48
  recorded on there because he talked about it.
• 6:50
  He's a strange man, but the IMDb is 4.5 out of 10.
• 6:54
  OK. Next up Jaws, The Revenge.
• 6:58
  OK. And we need to like start
• 7:00
  introducing you to the Jaws sequels now that you've seen the
• 7:04
  the original and loved it so much.
• 7:06
  It was great. I am very curious how your
• 7:09
  journey will go through the franchise, because I know what
• 7:12
  you like in horror movies, but I also know that you get your
• 7:15
  expectations set from the first one.
• 7:17
  So I know that these get really ridiculous and dumb as they go.
• 7:20
  OK. Especially this one right here
• 7:22
  I've heard a lot about. OK, so this is the 4th entry in
• 7:25
  the JAW series. The person that I thought was
• 7:28
  interestingly cast in this is Michael Caine.
• 7:32
  Michael Clyke. There you go.
• 7:34
  He he famously says yeah, this is a terrible movie, but it
• 7:37
  bought my fucking house, so you know I respect it.
• 7:41
  That released July 17th, 1980. Seven $23 million.
• 7:45
  Budget Worldwide gross 51 million.
• 7:49
  Bruce Bruce doesn't get out of bed for less than 10 million.
• 7:53
  It is Michael Caine. Apparently IMDb score 3 out of
• 7:57
  10. Yeah, that's the lowest of.
• 8:01
  All our movies here. All right.
• 8:03
  And the final movie? Doom Asylum?
• 8:08
  Speaking of Chad. Speaking of Chad, Chad and Joe,
• 8:12
  both of y'all y'all got us. Well, no, because Chad and Mandy
• 8:14
  tricked Joe. Yeah.
• 8:16
  And then Joe? And then Joe, he joined their
• 8:18
  coalition. Yeah, it became a Joe Illusion,
• 8:21
  if you will. A Joe.
• 8:24
  Yeah, so that's a weird little movie.
• 8:26
  That one I chose because it has, I think her name is Patty
• 8:29
  Jenkins. She is the girl that plays
• 8:32
  Frankenhuper. The reason why I have her as an
• 8:36
  interesting guessing decision is those are the only two movies
• 8:38
  she ever made. It's also got freaking What's
• 8:43
  her face from Sex and the City? Yeah, it does.
• 8:45
  Oh my God, you're right. Even more.
• 8:48
  God, what is her name? I don't know.
• 8:50
  She's in an episode of Seinfeld also.
• 8:51
  Charlotte and Sex and the City. Oh, she's the one that he drops
• 8:55
  her to her toothbrush in the toilet.
• 8:56
  That's her. Yeah.
• 8:58
  That. Really, I can't.
• 8:59
  Remember her name? I've never seen Sex in the City,
• 9:01
  so I don't know, like I wasn't focused on her for this.
• 9:06
  But that, I mean, that kind of goes with my theme here.
• 9:08
  So that did help. That released October 28th,
• 9:11
  1980, seven $90,000 budget and a $476,000 worldwide gross.
• 9:17
  Will you cover this on TV or not to be several months ago, It's a
• 9:22
  weird episode. It it is, definitely listen to
• 9:26
  the episode and make your own call if you want to watch the
• 9:28
  movie or not. I think everybody.
• 9:29
  I think everybody, it's an experience, yeah.
• 9:31
  You have to live through it and then make your own call.
• 9:35
  Even though it's we said that we were tricked into watching it by
• 9:38
  the Joe election, we we do recommend other people watch it
• 9:41
  because it is a fun movie, I will say.
• 9:43
  That yeah, I wanna, I want to do an edit of it.
• 9:46
  I think if I could get it down to 45 minutes it'd be really
• 9:49
  fucking solid. Yeah, I think that, yeah, Fan
• 9:51
  edit 4.6, that's an IMDb score for that.
• 9:55
  Higher than jaws. I know entire than Blood harvest
• 9:58
  also OK so tag lines, so I'm just going to go to the phone.
• 10:05
  Oh yes, I love that. Some of them might be the ones
• 10:09
  the type that you don't like. Well, I'm definitely, Once you
• 10:12
  get to that point, that's what it is.
• 10:14
  What the hell is that paragraph? What?
• 10:16
  This right here? That's what I'm saying.
• 10:18
  OK, hold on. OK, so the one that is on the
• 10:21
  poster is Soon the hunt will begin.
• 10:24
  OK, I'd argue the hunt already be in but.
• 10:27
  Well, you know, on the way into the theater and you see that,
• 10:30
  like soon the Hunt's gonna begin, you know?
• 10:32
  Yeah. Next up, if it bleeds, we can
• 10:35
  kill it. That's a good tagline.
• 10:37
  Yeah, and it's a line from the movie and it's, you know, the
• 10:40
  cracks to them, you know, forming their plan.
• 10:43
  So. This movie works.
• 10:44
  A lot of the quotes can be pretty much just like used as
• 10:48
  tag lines for a. Movie thing?
• 10:49
  Oh, absolutely. Nothing like it has ever been on
• 10:52
  Earth before. I mean, I like that.
• 10:57
  I think that is pretty, pretty good, because then you go in and
• 11:00
  you're like, oh, something weird is happening.
• 11:02
  Like we already know something weird is happening, but like,
• 11:05
  because like not having any signs of an ambush plan, stuff
• 11:09
  like that. It's spooky.
• 11:10
  It is spooky. Yeah.
• 11:11
  I like this one too. It came for the thrill of the
• 11:13
  hunt. It picked the wrong man to hunt.
• 11:17
  I'd argue he picked the best man because we'll get to it.
• 11:21
  But at the end where he was like, I'm not even going to
• 11:23
  shoot you. We're this fighting.
• 11:24
  Yeah, that's true. Yeah, here's the long one.
• 11:28
  In a part of the world where there are no rules, deep in the
• 11:30
  jungle, where nothing that lives is safe, an elite Rescue Squad
• 11:34
  is being led by The Ultimate Warrior.
• 11:36
  But now they're up against the ultimate enemy.
• 11:39
  Nothing like it has ever been on Earth before.
• 11:41
  It kills for pleasure, it hunts for sport.
• 11:44
  But this time it picked the wrong man to hunt.
• 11:47
  OK, so that just feels like the voice over guy for.
• 11:51
  Trailer Yeah. In a world.
• 11:54
  All right, here we go. We cannot see it, but it sees
• 11:57
  the heat of our bodies and the heat of our fear.
• 12:00
  Heat of the. Mind In this movie, Arnold will
• 12:06
  experience every meaning of the word pain.
• 12:09
  That one's weird. I mean, yeah, but like he's,
• 12:12
  that just implies that he's just aren't.
• 12:14
  Which I mean, granted, I I love the man, but he's not.
• 12:17
  This isn't much. Most acting.
• 12:20
  For no, not really, But he does experience all of the meanings
• 12:24
  of pain. Yeah, he's betrayed by his
• 12:26
  buddy. He gets hurt a lot.
• 12:29
  Physically. Emotionally.
• 12:30
  Yeah. Psychologically, yeah.
• 12:32
  He has to see the He's the only one that sees the predator's
• 12:35
  face, so that probably hurt his like eyeballs.
• 12:39
  Shattered his whole world right there.
• 12:41
  Yeah, aliens. Yeah, he is damaged.
• 12:43
  Existentially, yeah. So, yeah, I mean, you know what?
• 12:46
  You've convinced me. Yeah.
• 12:47
  All right. Cool.
• 12:48
  Yeah. Hey, I didn't.
• 12:49
  The tagline. Didn't.
• 12:51
  I'm just trying to. I'm speaking the good word.
• 12:53
  That's all I'm doing. OK, so it's time for fun facts.
• 12:57
  OK, so the original plan for this movie, it was going to be a
• 13:01
  brotherhood of hunters from another planet, but they decided
• 13:05
  that would work, so they changed it to be just one hunter.
• 13:08
  OK, so is that why that line in the beginning is maybe missed?
• 13:12
  Where it says there's six sets of U.S.
• 13:16
  Army boot prints walking away instead of just it could.
• 13:19
  Be It could be, yeah, they could.
• 13:22
  One of the things I was reading about this is like, they
• 13:25
  apparently had a lot of rewrites done through this, but they
• 13:29
  ended up just going with the original draft.
• 13:31
  Okay. Apparently that's like a thing
• 13:33
  that happens a lot in Hollywood. You do it just so appease the
• 13:36
  producers and the execs and then like, no, we're gonna go.
• 13:39
  Shoot the original show, but actually.
• 13:42
  But yeah, so it was like also hunting the most dangerous
• 13:45
  species, man. And also, like, they wanted that
• 13:48
  to be like a commando dude. The most dangerous game.
• 13:51
  Exactly. It's pretty much the most
• 13:53
  dangerous game here, except for Aliens.
• 13:54
  Yeah, Billy's actor Sunny. The studio would not allow them
• 13:59
  to hire him unless they hired A bodyguard.
• 14:03
  Bodyguard's not for Sunny. Bodyguard is for everybody
• 14:06
  around Sunny because apparently Sunny is known for having a
• 14:10
  terrible temper and he's a super violent dude.
• 14:13
  So they hired this gigantic 68 man just to follow him around
• 14:18
  everywhere on set. That way he can make sure that
• 14:21
  he was not going to get into any fights.
• 14:23
  I. Hate that because I love his
• 14:24
  character. I know his character is great,
• 14:27
  but apparently the dude is kind of problematic.
• 14:30
  Oh man, that's something I. Know, right?
• 14:33
  They were brought in a week prior to meet with a military
• 14:37
  trainer, so they were able to go over movement and hand signals,
• 14:41
  stuff like that. Jesse Ventura is actually a Navy
• 14:44
  Silva, so he knew all this stuff so he like.
• 14:47
  Like seems like you could have just let me do this guys.
• 14:50
  He he flew through this thing. Everybody else struggled hard.
• 14:54
  He was like, yeah, I I don't think I'd want to go into actual
• 14:57
  combat with these guys here, but I'd make a movie with them, is
• 15:00
  what he said. They actually shot in the
• 15:03
  jungle, so that was all real. But they made a comment that the
• 15:06
  jungle is not exactly cinematically interesting.
• 15:09
  There's not a lot of like a horizon there.
• 15:12
  Like you don't really see much because it's just all like trees
• 15:15
  and leaves and stuff. Let me tell you guys, I'm green,
• 15:18
  brown, colour blind. We've discussed this on the
• 15:20
  podcast before. This was a fucking nightmare for
• 15:23
  me, like trying to take note, 'cause there were times that I
• 15:25
  legitimately didn't see people in the screen because of their
• 15:28
  camouflage and their face paint. And I'm like, oh God, there's a
• 15:32
  person there in the corner. Yeah.
• 15:34
  Can we catch me off guard? It's a little bit too effective.
• 15:36
  Yes. So like in order to make things
• 15:39
  a little bit more interesting, they would climb up in the trees
• 15:41
  and they would cut the leaves out to create like a little
• 15:44
  setting and have like a little bit more of a horizon visible.
• 15:46
  That makes sense. And then they also built fake
• 15:48
  trees out of foam just to be able to like, you know, pretty
• 15:51
  up the place a little bit. And they also shoot some of that
• 15:53
  stuff up. So it's kind of cool the
• 15:55
  predator. Paradise and put up a fake
• 15:58
  paradise. To achieve the camouflage look,
• 16:02
  Speaking of camo, for the Predator, he had to run around
• 16:06
  in a giant red suit. So I'm gonna show it to you
• 16:10
  after this, but look it up. It's like it looks so weird.
• 16:14
  It's like the shape of the Predator, but it's this red
• 16:17
  fuzzy suit that they're having around.
• 16:19
  It's. Kind of like a green screen type
• 16:20
  situation. Yeah, OK, that makes sense.
• 16:22
  They. Chose the red because it stands
• 16:24
  apart from all the greens and stuff like that.
• 16:26
  And I use green screen because that's the common language term,
• 16:30
  but yeah. No, I know, Yeah.
• 16:31
  But that's specifically why they said red, just because it
• 16:34
  contrasted with all of that there so well.
• 16:37
  And then to do the thermal vision, they had to do 2
• 16:42
  different shots with the camera in the exact same location.
• 16:45
  So they kind of like had this device where it rigged the two
• 16:49
  cameras. One would shoot like actually
• 16:51
  like the background with like the chroma all the way down.
• 16:53
  And then the other one kind of had like the like the thermal
• 16:59
  sensitive, like the thermal vision, so they could overlay it
• 17:03
  and combine the two to make like that vision because you gotta
• 17:06
  have the thermal for the actual person and then you have to have
• 17:10
  the actual background there for you know that part of his
• 17:13
  vision. That kind of explains because
• 17:16
  there were several times, so it was like this doesn't look like
• 17:19
  realistic thermal vision, so. Yeah, no, it's definitely like a
• 17:22
  made-up thing. Okay okay.
• 17:24
  Which, I mean, yeah, I kind of waved it away, cuz sci-fi.
• 17:26
  But yeah, exactly. Yeah, the DVD actually has a
• 17:31
  whole thing of the profile of the Predator, and you can go in
• 17:35
  there and it examines all of its gear and tells you exactly what
• 17:38
  it does. Oh cool, yeah, I didn't write
• 17:41
  any of that stuff down here, 'cause that's a lot.
• 17:42
  But you know, like it is out there if you wanted.
• 17:45
  Yeah, so if you hit chat up for a yeah chat, it's got you
• 17:48
  covered. Predator.
• 17:50
  Make sure to check that out. OK, so there were actually two
• 17:55
  different types of designs for the Predator.
• 17:57
  They had an original one. They got out there, shipped in,
• 18:00
  opened it up, got it out. And everybody was so
• 18:04
  disappointed with it. It was tiny.
• 18:06
  It had one large eye, kind of looked like a little dinosaur.
• 18:11
  The director said, like, I didn't want to do it.
• 18:13
  I shot two shots with it and then I just like, shipped it
• 18:17
  back. And I called these like, sounds
• 18:18
  like, look at this. Is this what you guys actually
• 18:20
  want us to use? And like, no, we don't want that
• 18:22
  at all. So the course corrected, phoned
• 18:25
  up the man, Stan Winston. Stan the man.
• 18:28
  The one and only. You know he did.
• 18:31
  He also worked with Arnie on Terminator.
• 18:33
  He did Pumpkinhead. He's got the Stan Winston School
• 18:36
  of Design. This man is legendary.
• 18:39
  He yeah, he The reason they went with him is because Arnold also
• 18:43
  like, really liked working with him before.
• 18:45
  They're actually friends because they worked on Terminator
• 18:48
  together. So he suggested him.
• 18:51
  They called him up, got him over there.
• 18:52
  He designed this amazing monster that we get for the movie.
• 18:56
  He bases it off of Russ Safari and Warrior.
• 18:59
  So that's why has a dreadlocks kind of thing.
• 19:03
  I always wondered. One of the guys, when he was on
• 19:05
  a slide over there and he was just doing sketches, He's like,
• 19:08
  you know what, I think it'd be kind of cool to see a monster
• 19:10
  with mandibles. And then Sin went and said OK,
• 19:12
  bet. And then he just like actually
• 19:14
  Drew Mandibles on there. He's like, yeah, that looks
• 19:16
  fucking dope. Yeah, it is really scary when
• 19:18
  you see when the Predator takes off that that face armor, it's.
• 19:24
  Yeah, I know, right. And they had to recast the actor
• 19:29
  that was going to play the Predator, because I was reading
• 19:32
  originally, it was gonna be God, what's the fuck?
• 19:38
  I can't remember his name, Van Damme.
• 19:42
  Jean-Claude Van Damme. Jean-Claude Van Damme.
• 19:44
  Yeah, he was gonna be the original actor, but apparently
• 19:47
  he was on set and complained the entire time about the costume
• 19:51
  and how I like it. Nearly made him pass out when he
• 19:53
  was wearing it. And he was also 59 and he did
• 19:57
  the smaller build of it. But this next one.
• 20:00
  It was huge. They wanted to tower over
• 20:02
  Arnold, so they hired this guy. Let's see, what was his name?
• 20:07
  Kevin. Do you?
• 20:09
  Do we want to get him a full name?
• 20:10
  I'm gonna give him, I'm gonna give his full name, 'cause this
• 20:13
  guy was pretty awesome, Yeah. He did, really.
• 20:16
  He did really good, like body work, which is pretty impressive
• 20:18
  considering that he isn't always on screen as the Predator.
• 20:22
  Yeah, like. Kevin Peter Hall is his name,
• 20:25
  and they cast him. He's like 7 feet tall, gigantic.
• 20:30
  So this is just a set of tall men.
• 20:33
  Yeah, tall. Anchor issues and some with
• 20:36
  extensive military, like specialized military training?
• 20:39
  Yeah, exactly. So it's a scary set.
• 20:42
  And apparently they said that the Predator suit weighed 200
• 20:46
  lbs. Holy shit, that's a whole other
• 20:49
  human. They had to like rig like a
• 20:50
  bungee like situation on that to be able to like give him, you
• 20:55
  know, I mean, he's like a giant dude.
• 20:57
  This guy was massive, like he's like towering over Arnold.
• 21:00
  But yeah, £200 is a lot for anybody, I don't care who you
• 21:03
  are. They actually ran out of money,
• 21:06
  also in the middle of production, and they had to stop
• 21:09
  filming, which the director actually said was a blessing in
• 21:13
  disguise because it allowed them to stop, review the footage that
• 21:17
  they had, reshoot the things that they wanted to do and like
• 21:21
  just make the movie better overall.
• 21:23
  Like they were able to like, collect and make adjustments.
• 21:25
  Later, they saw they were needed.
• 21:27
  And apparently he said, like, that's how a lot of directors
• 21:30
  like to do it too. Like, apparently Woody Allen,
• 21:33
  that's how he shoots all of his movies.
• 21:34
  Like, he shoots some of it, stops, edits, puts it together,
• 21:37
  and he's like, OK, we need to do this, this, this.
• 21:39
  Well, and we should all take advice from Woody Allen, not.
• 21:43
  Really. But maybe when it comes to
• 21:44
  movies. I've never seen a Woody Allen
• 21:46
  movie, but apparently, like, he makes good movies.
• 21:48
  From what I've been told, I don't.
• 21:52
  Know good movies? Bad life traces.
• 21:56
  So yeah, that is pretty much. Oh, and also Speaking of the guy
• 22:00
  that played Predator, the director wanted to make up to
• 22:05
  him for making him wear the suit and be like miserable the entire
• 22:08
  shooting. So he gave him like a part with
• 22:11
  his face on screen too. And he's one of the guys that is
• 22:14
  in the chopper that picks them up at the end of the movie.
• 22:17
  OK. Yeah, so he thanked him for that
• 22:19
  and at least got him on screen like that too.
• 22:23
  So yeah, that's my fun facts. Cool.
• 22:26
  All right, so let's get into talking about this.
• 22:29
  Yeah, Yeah. Jesse, what do you like about
• 22:31
  this movie? Oh man.
• 22:32
  So it starts off you feel like you're going to be watching like
• 22:35
  a typical kind of action war movie.
• 22:39
  And it very quickly becomes spooky because they like land in
• 22:43
  the jungle. They've got this like mystery
• 22:44
  going on. You can tell that something's
• 22:46
  following them and it's there's a little bit of suspiciousness
• 22:51
  with Dylan joining, even though he doesn't do these kinds of
• 22:54
  missions anymore. Like, we've got all of these
• 22:56
  elements that are coming together to make a really spooky
• 23:00
  atmosphere. I also really like the music.
• 23:04
  It's very hairy. Manfredini meets Danny Elfman.
• 23:07
  This music for this, it's such a nice touch.
• 23:11
  Yeah, and like even like the little like sounds like a just a
• 23:13
  sound design, even for when you get into the Predator vision.
• 23:16
  Yeah, the little the clicking that I tried really hard to do
• 23:20
  last night and couldn't emulate. I was reading about that.
• 23:22
  They asked the guy like to come up with what that sound would be
• 23:26
  for The Predator and they're like, OK, I don't like they did.
• 23:29
  They were hesitant to show him what it looked like.
• 23:31
  And then they finally, you know, let him see it.
• 23:34
  He's like, oh, that kind of looks like a crab.
• 23:36
  And then he had a memory of when he was little.
• 23:38
  And there's this, like, type of crab that he would take.
• 23:40
  And if he would, like, flip it over on his back, it would make
• 23:43
  that sound. So he's like, oh, OK, I'm just
• 23:44
  going to make it make that sound.
• 23:46
  Dude, that's awesome. Yeah, it's kind of like
• 23:49
  impressive, the amount of detail and thought that went into the
• 23:52
  creature for this thing. I also think we just get like a
• 23:55
  good sense of who the characters are, so they're not just cannon
• 23:59
  fodder. And I think it really helps too,
• 24:01
  because they are meant to be an elite squad, so they should have
• 24:05
  kind of like a way of interacting with each other that
• 24:07
  feels natural. So I think they did a really
• 24:09
  good job with that and like and I said this isn't Arnie's best
• 24:12
  acting, but I do appreciate that they gave him one liners because
• 24:15
  my Mr. Freeze can deliver A1 liner like no other.
• 24:20
  He improvised some of them. He improvised the stick there.
• 24:23
  Stick, stick with her. Stick with it.
• 24:26
  And then he like walks into a room with Noel and he goes knock
• 24:29
  knock. Yeah, it's great.
• 24:31
  Yeah, He delivers so many good lines on this.
• 24:33
  Yeah, it's just it's a really good, like, it's it's an
• 24:37
  interesting story. The character is frightening
• 24:41
  because it is just, it's just hunting for pleasure.
• 24:45
  And I think that like, 'cause it's not really eating it or
• 24:47
  anything, It's taking trophies and the trophies or the humans
• 24:51
  themselves, not like when we think of like human serial
• 24:55
  killers that take trophies, you know, they take like watches and
• 24:59
  stuff like that. Like this is.
• 25:00
  Some people take pieces like body.
• 25:01
  Parts. Some people do, yeah.
• 25:02
  But like this is I just, it's it's a really well told story.
• 25:08
  I agree. And I just, I have some and it's
• 25:10
  just you don't really have like you've got the highs and lows
• 25:14
  with it to keep it interesting, but it doesn't ever really like
• 25:18
  drag. Yeah, it doesn't.
• 25:20
  Yeah. No, I agree with a lot of what
• 25:22
  you said. I love the stalking that the
• 25:26
  Predator does. Like when we get those shots of
• 25:29
  the Predator vision and it's just like the thermal and it's
• 25:32
  just creeping and watching them from a distance.
• 25:34
  Like it? Watching the scorpion die in its
• 25:36
  hands. Yeah, that was so.
• 25:38
  That was such a cool, like, yeah moment.
• 25:41
  It was. This movie has some of the most
• 25:44
  amazing set pieces too. When they are tackling the
• 25:49
  refugee or not the refugee, the guerrilla camp, so many
• 25:52
  explosions, the stunts that they had there were incredible.
• 25:56
  They were like actually firing real rounds.
• 25:59
  I think like that gallon gun, the painless is like straight up
• 26:04
  a real gun. And they gave it to Jesse
• 26:05
  Ventura because he can handle it, because he's an experienced,
• 26:08
  you know? Yeah, and I over I overheard the
• 26:11
  special features when you were watching it where they were
• 26:13
  saying like they made a point of putting every single one of the
• 26:15
  actors involved directly in the action at some point.
• 26:18
  So with the audience feels in the action.
• 26:20
  Yeah, yeah, it was so cool. It's so well done.
• 26:23
  I love the characters in this movie.
• 26:25
  Arnold's character is so great. I like the final showdown a lot
• 26:28
  between them because I respect the hell out of the Predator.
• 26:31
  Just like going like. With his shit like he is
• 26:34
  personal drunk woman at the bars taking out her earrings.
• 26:39
  I love it. It's awesome.
• 26:42
  He's like, you know what, man? Let's get personal with this,
• 26:44
  like, take off all my gear. I'm fucking you up.
• 26:46
  I. Love that moment, cause at first
• 26:48
  I was like why is he walking away?
• 26:51
  Like why would he leave Arnie? Like he can't be that
• 26:53
  intimidated by him and then he's like, no, no fisticuffs, my
• 26:57
  friend. I mean, this movie is just so
• 27:01
  much fun to watch. Like, I just, I was smiling the
• 27:04
  entire time. Zoe was having the time of her
• 27:07
  life with all these explosions. I mean like just fun characters,
• 27:12
  fun story. Like, I don't know, it's it's
• 27:14
  just a great thing to watch. OK, So bad stuff.
• 27:18
  It's kind of hard to think of bad.
• 27:20
  Yeah, I think probably all the stuff with Anna.
• 27:25
  She doesn't get it and want it to shine.
• 27:26
  Yeah, it's it's kind of like and I get that they are taking her
• 27:30
  because she's got intelligence that they want, but like the
• 27:34
  whole like taking hostage of, you know, this, like it's just
• 27:38
  confusing the way it's done and it feels kind of like it's meant
• 27:42
  to be in there. So that way she could give some
• 27:44
  of the background on, you know, things that have been happening
• 27:48
  and stuff which like I get it, you have to have a character to
• 27:51
  do that. But it does feel very like that,
• 27:54
  you know And guess what? Still not passing the Bechdel
• 27:58
  test. Yeah, I mean, she's just, yeah,
• 28:03
  she's just there to kind of serve as like, yeah, this is the
• 28:06
  shit that's going down. Yeah, Yeah, I I would have liked
• 28:10
  to have had more moments of her to like actually have a moment
• 28:15
  like shine a little bit, 'cause, I mean, she was, she's capable.
• 28:18
  She's part of the guerrilla group, you know what I mean?
• 28:21
  Yeah, yeah. Which is like ends up being
• 28:22
  Arnie's point later when he takes off her handcuffs or
• 28:26
  restraint or whatever you want to call it.
• 28:28
  Yeah, I mean, like other than Arnold's acting, But the thing
• 28:33
  with Arnold's acting, like it kind of has a charm to it.
• 28:36
  I mean, you see his sweet little smile and you're like, damn it,
• 28:41
  I understand why he's the leader.
• 28:42
  You know what I mean? Like.
• 28:44
  I just love how he's like one of the guys, like reminds me of
• 28:48
  Afghanistan. He's like, you remember and he's
• 28:50
  like, remember I'm trying to forget.
• 28:52
  And he's like smiling the entire time.
• 28:54
  I'm like, Arnold, you're not supposed to be smiling during
• 28:56
  that. That's PTSD.
• 28:58
  Yeah, but he's. Like he's like.
• 28:59
  I love this. I was like, he looks really good
• 29:02
  in red. Who?
• 29:03
  Arnold. Yeah.
• 29:04
  Is he wearing? Rope.
• 29:05
  Yeah, The beginning when they come in on the Yeah, you're
• 29:07
  right. Yeah.
• 29:08
  And I'm like, Dang, that's a good color for you, man.
• 29:11
  I love that He's just like, smoking those stories the entire
• 29:13
  time too. That's so fucking cool.
• 29:16
  Yeah. I mean, I really don't have much
• 29:18
  else bad to say about this. I mean, like, I know the
• 29:21
  Predator gets like not a whole lot of screen time, but that's
• 29:24
  because it's kind of camouflage most of the time.
• 29:26
  Yeah, and that's what and like, and that's what makes it scary.
• 29:30
  Like us seeing just enough glimpses to know that this is
• 29:33
  something otherworldly, but also maybe not, you know, maybe it's
• 29:37
  somebody with like, thermal style, you know what I mean?
• 29:40
  It keeps just enough mystery there for us until we see like
• 29:43
  the effects of it, you know, jumping invincible through the
• 29:47
  well jungle. I mean, we know it's an alien
• 29:49
  from the very beginning. We see the spaceship.
• 29:52
  Well, yeah, but. I I already forgot about it
• 29:55
  there being a spaceship, so yeah.
• 29:57
  A like one just from the pod at the beginning of the movie, but
• 29:59
  for them, like it kind of puts you in the moment if you're
• 30:01
  following them. Like, see, I'm the type of
• 30:03
  audience member that you can throw something like that at the
• 30:05
  beginning and I will forget about it, Yeah, yeah.
• 30:09
  Yeah, OK, Ugly. I'm going to say Hawkins's pussy
• 30:16
  jokes. Yeah.
• 30:19
  And also like Blaine, using some slurs at the beginning that I'm
• 30:23
  not a fan of. Yeah, both of those are what I
• 30:27
  was used to. It was funny hearing Shane Black
• 30:30
  talk about like going to the theater to watch this with his
• 30:32
  wife and she was not amused with this.
• 30:35
  Jokes. He's a he's a Rider.
• 30:38
  He wrote the Predators movie that came out in the 20 Tens.
• 30:45
  He wrote Iron Man Three also and nice guys.
• 30:48
  Dude, he brought nice guys. And like all of the Lethal
• 30:50
  Weapon movies. Wow.
• 30:52
  Yeah, like they actually, in the special features, they cast him
• 30:58
  to kind of like trick him into doing a rewrite of the script.
• 31:00
  Yeah, they're like, well, since you're here and they didn't use
• 31:05
  this thing and he didn't write, he's like, no, I'm not doing
• 31:07
  that, but I'll act like. Yeah, yeah, nice guys.
• 31:11
  Not a movie will ever cover on this show because it's not
• 31:13
  horror, but it's a good movie and you should watch it.
• 31:15
  Yeah, it's a fun movie. Yeah.
• 31:17
  All right. Absurd.
• 31:18
  What is absurd about Predator? Again, I got to go with the
• 31:24
  thermal stuff. It's just not realistic.
• 31:27
  Him just covering himself with mud is not going to be enough to
• 31:30
  block the predator from sensing his core body heat unless he was
• 31:33
  actually approaching hypothermia.
• 31:35
  Speaking of that, he also has the thermal vision.
• 31:37
  Without the helmet on, like, we get to see what he's looking at.
• 31:40
  When he takes it off, he's like still thermal, like, why?
• 31:43
  So what's the helmet there for? To protect his feet.
• 31:46
  Or something else, I don't know, but maybe.
• 31:48
  It's part of, like, his camouflaging.
• 31:49
  It could be I I just thought it was like also giving him thermal
• 31:52
  vision. But no, he's like, no, this is
• 31:54
  just how I see, yeah. Yeah, so I'd, I'd say that.
• 32:01
  And also, what's his name? Dylan getting his arm shot off.
• 32:07
  They just. Shot off.
• 32:08
  Yeah, I like that. Then it's the same one that he
• 32:11
  was doing the arm wrestling. With Yeah, Arnold.
• 32:14
  With that, like, famous meme that everybody's got.
• 32:17
  Yeah, it's so. Good.
• 32:18
  My absurd moments are also. Can we talk about arm wrestling
• 32:22
  midair? That's not how arm wrestling
• 32:24
  works. No.
• 32:26
  You're supposed to put your elbows because you gotta have
• 32:27
  the equal position. OK anyway.
• 32:31
  Maybe it's like a another like type of arm wrestling or
• 32:34
  something like when you get to a certain swollenness, like that's
• 32:37
  kind of the established, I don't know.
• 32:40
  Also them trying to imply that Dylan ever had as big of muscles
• 32:43
  as Dutch. They actually had a competition
• 32:47
  on set about who had the biggest arms.
• 32:50
  Arnold tricked the wardrobe person and had them measure
• 32:55
  Jesse Ventura's arms and tell them that he was an inch bigger
• 33:00
  than Arnold's arms. So like, whenever he found out
• 33:03
  about that, he went to Arnold and he's like, hey, was like,
• 33:06
  what do you guys think? We should all just, like,
• 33:07
  measure each other's arms? Like, you know, compare.
• 33:09
  It's like, yeah, yeah, that'd be a great idea.
• 33:11
  And then, like they actually measured and Arnold was 3 inches
• 33:13
  bigger than his. Arnold, you sneaky little
• 33:17
  printer. Yes, Schemer.
• 33:19
  They had like, a whole, like, workout competition thing too,
• 33:21
  apparently. Like they took it fucking
• 33:23
  seriously. Dude, Arnold's wild about
• 33:26
  exercise. He compares getting a good pump
• 33:28
  in at the gym to orgasming. They would.
• 33:32
  They would wake up at 4:00 AM, go lift weights, eat, run for an
• 33:37
  hour, go out, shoot the movie, come back home or back to set or
• 33:43
  wherever they were staying, work out, run another hour, then
• 33:47
  sleep. And that.
• 33:49
  That was their life on set. Yeah, all right.
• 33:53
  My absurd for this is the tense scene when Max just decides to
• 33:58
  break out a razor and shave his very already cleanly shaved
• 34:02
  face. I believe you mean he's shaving
• 34:05
  his temple. I think he's shaving the sweat
• 34:07
  off of his face because, like, that guy sweats a lot.
• 34:10
  He's just one of those guys. Like, that's a human.
• 34:11
  Oh my God, I think he's a sweater.
• 34:13
  Yeah, I think he's just trying to like, shave it off and then
• 34:16
  just cuts himself. Like he didn't have a a
• 34:19
  handkerchief, so he's just like, squeegee.
• 34:23
  Yeah. OK.
• 34:24
  So what do you rate this? God, I think this is a 10.
• 34:28
  It's too good to give it a lower rating and it's so enjoyable.
• 34:32
  I think I agree, man. This is a 10.
• 34:34
  It's just so much fun. I know that there's a debate out
• 34:37
  there about whether or not this is a horror movie, but I 100%
• 34:41
  believe it's a horror. Movie.
• 34:42
  Absolutely, absolutely. It's definitely got it's action
• 34:46
  here than a lot of horror movies, but it's definitely got
• 34:49
  the they're being stalked through their woods by a killer.
• 34:52
  I mean, it's one of those ones. Like it starts as your typical
• 34:54
  action movie and then it tricks you into becoming a horror
• 34:58
  movie. Like, I think it's like a
• 34:58
  Subversion type thing. Like it's kind of all part of
• 35:01
  the original vision, is what I thought.
• 35:04
  Yeah. OK, so let's let's get into
• 35:08
  talking about this one. OK, support for what's your

• 35:49
  the trimmers that have not exactly been kind to our jewels
• 35:52
  before, but. Yeah, you wouldn't think that an
• 35:54
  electric trimmer should cause any kind of bleeding that's
• 35:57
  supposed to be for straight razor.
• 35:59
  And yes. Well OK, we're not all out there
• 36:03
  using the little razors like Mac was in this movie.
• 36:06
  OK, sometimes we need something like the lawn mower.

  while you were trimming up your face because you can use the

  trimmers on your face as well. That's true.
• 36:39
  The blade guards, we talk about the easy carrying bag that we've
• 36:43
  got for this and how I appreciate that the underneath
• 36:46
  of our sink isn't a disaster. I'm very big on organization and
• 36:50
  it's great. But even better than that is
• 36:52
  that we don't have to pile 10 million different trimmer heads
• 36:56
  in there. You know, the blade guards to
• 36:58
  get the right kind of length for what you want because it's three
• 37:01
  in, one for each trimmer guard exactly.
• 37:03
  And you can just pop it in, slide it to whatever length you
• 37:06
  want it to be. It's so nice.
• 37:07
  Yeah. Like, yeah, like it's nice to
• 37:09
  have like an all in one type blade like that.
• 37:12
  Yeah. It's also waterproof so you can
• 37:14
  get into the shower and not make a mess like that.
• 37:16
  It can all go down the drain, which everybody appreciates not
• 37:19
  having to clean up. That's one of the worst parts of
• 37:21
  shaving. And I'll be honest, I've used it
• 37:23
  on my armpits just to just to see if I liked how it felt as
• 37:26
  well. And I do it in the shower.
• 37:29
  It works. Yeah, it works.
• 37:31

  Now it's time for us to run Go to the chopper.
• 38:30
  In outer space. Where no one can hear you
• 38:33
  scream. Yeah, so sorry.
• 38:35
  That will be much later on down the line.
• 38:37
  Yeah. We'll, we'll get to that one,
• 38:40
  dude, we gotta have a crossover. I know.
• 38:42
  We gotta, we gotta figure out a good way to do that.
• 38:44
  Yeah. Okay.
• 38:45
  Anyways, so outer space. We see a spaceship flying by and
• 38:50
  a pod launches from it, shooting it down towards Earth.
• 38:52
  See. And I did not write very many
• 38:54
  notes about this. And as we've already
• 38:57
  established, I immediately forgot.
• 38:58
  About that, yeah, I was. Like, oh pretty stars, oh
• 39:02
  orbiting thing. So now we get the chopper.
• 39:06
  It's flying over the ocean, lands and the crew exits, and
• 39:09
  then Arnold is the last one. Now he's lighting up A.
• 39:11
  CR Hold on, Chopper over water plans on beach Spitty Boys
• 39:17
  inside, Arnie lights up before getting out like a cool guy.
• 39:21
  Yeah. He is cool, man.
• 39:24
  He like, yeah, I feel like he was like he's getting style
• 39:26
  points right there. Like I said, I would follow this
• 39:29
  man. He's.
• 39:30
  Probably like, Hey guys, hey boys, we're gonna be meeting
• 39:33
  Dylan over here. I gotta look real.
• 39:34
  Cool. Like you guys don't even
• 39:36
  understand Dylan's the best. He's probably, he's probably
• 39:39
  gonna try and arm wrestle me, Yeah.
• 39:40
  And. Like, I'll make him think he's
• 39:43
  gonna win, but don't worry. Don't worry about it guys.
• 39:47
  All right, so they're talking about a lost chopper 18 hours
• 39:51
  ago. The general's telling Dutch that
• 39:53
  they were lost. They figured that it's somewhere
• 39:55
  in enemy territory. They want to get the hostages
• 40:00
  saved. And they're like a star squad.
• 40:04
  They're like they specialize in rescues and they very
• 40:07
  specifically do not do assassination missions.
• 40:11
  Yeah, they're pretty much like mercenaries are just like, yeah,
• 40:14
  they're just brought in. No.
• 40:15
  Kill mercenaries. Yeah, except they kill a lot of
• 40:18
  people in this, so. Collateral damage, yeah.
• 40:22
  OK, so then we get to see Dylan. He's like Dylan, you son of a
• 40:25
  bitch. I promise I'm not going to be
• 40:28
  doing Arnold impersonations the entire that's.
• 40:30
  A promise he's not going to keep Fellows I'm.
• 40:32
  Going to try, but yeah, I love their when they meet back up and
• 40:37
  they like, do like they lock arms and then they start to have
• 40:40
  that arm wrestle and he's like, oh, the CIA kind of getting you
• 40:44
  weaker by pushing too many pencils.
• 40:46
  Yeah, so they're having this whole like, moment.
• 40:49
  It's established that they're babies and it's nice to see them
• 40:53
  so excited to see each other, which makes the betrayal coming
• 40:56
  up all the way. And Dylan's like, I'm going with
• 41:00
  you. He goes, you know, our team
• 41:01
  always works on he goes not today.
• 41:04
  And he's like, it's Dylan. I trust you implicitly.
• 41:08
  Yeah. Famous last words.
• 41:10
  So now they're flying in, they're gonna back up.
• 41:13
  Playing on the radio is kind of like nice for background here,
• 41:17
  and Mac is like singing it later, right before he writes
• 41:20
  it. Oh yeah, I didn't even notice.
• 41:23
  That yeah. So I was like, cool, This is
• 41:24
  Max. I like.
• 41:26
  Mac and Billy are my two favorite from this crew.
• 41:29
  I I like this whole scene of them writing in because I feel
• 41:33
  like it's perfect for establishing our group of guys
• 41:35
  here. And they all have like that.
• 41:37
  It's all like the stereotypical crew from an action movie.
• 41:39
  Yeah, so Billy isn't putting up with Hawkins's misogynistic
• 41:43
  bullshit jokes. He just kind of stares at him
• 41:46
  until he shuts up. Blaine makes a really
• 41:50
  distasteful joke and also implies that gay men can't be
• 41:54
  Tyrannosaurus Rex lovers. Just the cure to homosexuality
• 42:01
  is chewing tobacco. I don't.
• 42:03
  Understand. Very problematic.
• 42:05
  Yeah, like Okay, yeah. Not a fan of Blaine or Hawkins
• 42:10
  immediately from this ride over. I do like the idea of Hawkins
• 42:16
  being a guy that's just trying to tell these jokes and they
• 42:19
  just don't win with anybody. I imagine Hawkins is a virgin.
• 42:24
  Probably, yeah. He's the nerdy guy.
• 42:26
  He's the Jay Bear show of Tropic Thunder.
• 42:28
  Nerds can have sex. Hello.
• 42:31
  We're married. Well, I.
• 42:32
  Know, but I'm just saying like he's the nerdy that he's he's
• 42:35
  that guy in this race. Yeah, he's the He's the Jay Bear
• 42:38
  Show. He's the He's the person that's
• 42:40
  not supposed to be, like a part of this piece.
• 42:42
  Yeah. OK, so let's see what else?
• 42:48
  They arrive at the location, yeah, they drop into the jungle
• 42:51
  and they find a crash chopper in the trees.
• 42:53
  And this is dropping into the jungle.
• 42:54
  It's so cool. They look like little spider
• 42:56
  webs, spiders coming down from their webs which as much as it
• 42:59
  freaks me out every time I see it happen, I am very amazed at
• 43:02
  how quickly a spider can shoot silk out of its butt and also
• 43:05
  maintain control like. I just saw I think where I see?
• 43:08
  It it's. Farting.
• 43:11
  I don't. Know what if Oh my God, do you
• 43:15
  think spiders ever accidentally fart when they're releasing
• 43:18
  their web? And it's, like, embarrassing?
• 43:19
  You know, like when Talia jumps on the couch and farts and she,
• 43:22
  like, fits her ears back. I mean, honestly, I'm just
• 43:24
  wondering, do spiders fart and like just in general?
• 43:28
  My guess is probably no, but we're way too far off topic here
• 43:31
  I. Mean they have a digestive
• 43:33
  track. Look, we're off topic here, OK?
• 43:36
  All right. So they take a little grappling
• 43:38
  hook and they climb up into the chopper to check out the scene.
• 43:42
  It looks like it was a surveillance bird, and they find
• 43:45
  that like heat seekers are what took it out.
• 43:48
  Yeah, supposedly they thought it was.
• 43:51
  They were led to believe that it was like a transportation
• 43:54
  chopper, like taken soldiers somewhere.
• 43:56
  But then they're saying that it's surveillance and they also
• 43:59
  notice that stuff is missing. So they think that two were two
• 44:05
  were taken because there's a third dead in the chopper
• 44:07
  already and they see six pairs of U.S.
• 44:10
  Army boot footprints trailing. Yeah, trailing the Guerrilla
• 44:14
  Footprints. So it's not the guerrillas that
• 44:16
  took the the army items. They they think it's a secondary
• 44:22
  group. Yeah, Dutch is kind of confused.
• 44:25
  He has to always. Like, I thought you said nobody
• 44:27
  else was in here. And then there was like, well,
• 44:29
  it must have been one of the rebel patrols.
• 44:31
  So you're kind of already getting like Dylan might not be
• 44:34
  telling the truth here. Well.
• 44:36
  Because Dylan's with the CIA and like, I mean their whole thing
• 44:41
  is that they've got information that they keep super, super
• 44:45
  fucking classified. Well, I mean, he's also just
• 44:47
  trying to deceive these guys and didn't want to give them the
• 44:49
  full. Picture Well, that's what I was
• 44:51
  gonna say. Like they keep their shit super,
• 44:52
  super classified and they need to get things done, whatever it
• 44:55
  takes. And a lot of times that does
• 44:56
  mean lying, even lying to your own men.
• 44:58
  Even to your best bubby. Yeah, yeah.
• 45:01
  So this is where I have to know. Trying to forget Afghanistan
• 45:04
  with a smile. So Billy drinks from a branch of
• 45:11
  Vine. I am not.
• 45:12
  Yeah. What kind of tree is it?
• 45:15
  I don't know. Do you just drink from trees
• 45:16
  like this? It might be one.
• 45:18
  I think some trees have like a little bit of water stored in
• 45:21
  them. Yeah, okay.
• 45:23
  Sorry. Hunger Games.
• 45:24
  They do that, yeah. And this common in jungles, I
• 45:26
  guess, but I don't know. It's just wild to watch it
• 45:29
  happen. And then what happens?
• 45:32
  He hears some flapping sounds, so he goes to investigate.
• 45:36
  He climbs up in the trees and finds 3 like.
• 45:39
  Skinned up bodies. I'm glad that they use the word
• 45:41
  skins later, 'cause I wrote degloved and I was like, does
• 45:43
  that apply to an entire body? Because I forgot about the word
• 45:46
  skinned I mean. Yeah, I mean, that's one way to
• 45:49
  say it. Like they got degloved.
• 45:51
  But yeah, it's just like their skin.
• 45:53
  And it's just nasty. One of the dog tags is on the
• 45:56
  ground and it says Jim Hopper. Is that where they get the name
• 46:00
  for Hopper in Stranger Things? It's got to be like the whole
• 46:03
  series is homage to 80s. Yes, I feel like it has to be
• 46:09
  he, he Dutch knew him. Hopper was a Green Beret out of
• 46:13
  Fort Bragg. And those guys are like, it's
• 46:15
  the Army version of like the Navy Seals, like they're the
• 46:18
  badass, like they go on all these different missions,
• 46:21
  special training, special testing to become a part of so.
• 46:25
  Billy can't find any tracks for who did this either, so they're
• 46:28
  really confused about what the fuck is happening.
• 46:30
  Yeah, 'cause Dutch is like, well, they must have been
• 46:32
  ambushed. And Billy's like, there's no
• 46:33
  trace of any ambush in and no trace of anybody leaving, yeah.
• 46:39
  So. Dylan is out of shape and loud.
• 46:43
  That's what I wrote, and Mac does not have fucking time for
• 46:47
  it. He's like, I will bleed you,
• 46:49
  motherfucker. I will.
• 46:51
  No, I love this line. He's like, I'll bleed you real
• 46:54
  quiet. Leave you here.
• 46:56
  It's just like, damn. OK.
• 46:57
  I'm sorry. You also get, like a little bit
• 47:01
  of Predator vision. So we see that the Predator is
• 47:04
  actually watching them from where they are and like up in
• 47:06
  the trees, painless is unleashed also by Blaine.
• 47:10
  And he's starting to get the heebie Jeebie.
• 47:12
  So he's like, all right, we're going to have to get the, the
• 47:14
  fucking reinforcements out. Yeah, so he's.
• 47:17
  Got to have his. Cat.
• 47:19
  OK, this guy got his cat all right.
• 47:21
  So they stumble upon the enemy base.
• 47:23
  It's the guerrilla base. They all kind of like slow crawl
• 47:27
  up there and Dutch peeks over and he sees them with a prisoner
• 47:31
  of war and they assassinate the dude.
• 47:33
  Yeah. So he calls all of the people up
• 47:35
  there and tells them to get into position.
• 47:37
  So they split up and they sneak in, Dutch starts the kind of he
• 47:45
  makes way for everybody else to sneak in by getting a vehicle
• 47:49
  going and setting it off its tracks.
• 47:51
  I think it was already running. I think it was like acting as a
• 47:54
  generator for the place. Yeah.
• 47:56
  So he like lifts it up and causes it to roll into a
• 47:59
  building which for whatever reason must have been rigged
• 48:03
  with explosions because the place just explodes massively.
• 48:07
  I'm sorry, do you not remember anything from Halloween to if a
• 48:10
  vehicle hits something or someone?
• 48:12
  Instant explosion. They might have been tramer in
• 48:16
  there. It just made just very slight
• 48:18
  contact with them and it's just like.
• 48:21
  Top secret U.S. government building is just putting out Ben
• 48:25
  Dreamer clones and sending them into sending them into enemy
• 48:29
  territory. And this is one of my favorite
• 48:32
  parts of the movie. So everybody just goes fucking
• 48:35
  nuts. They get all the guns out, They
• 48:37
  start unleashing hell. Explosions everywhere.
• 48:40
  They completely ground a chopper so it can't fly away.
• 48:43
  Some of them are trying to fly away in it.
• 48:46
  Arnie has some lame 1 liners and I love it.
• 48:50
  You guys know that I've said multiple times Batman and Robin
• 48:53
  is one of my favorites and I will say at least 75% of that is
• 48:58
  Arnold Schwarzenegger is Mr. Freeze.
• 49:00
  Just Arnold being Arnold, man. Like he just makes movies.
• 49:03
  Good. But we also can't forget the
• 49:05
  sermon as Poison Ivy. She's the other 25%, now she's
• 49:09
  23% and then 2% is Bat nipples. So that's that's the breakdown
• 49:15
  of why everybody should love that.
• 49:17
  Awesome. Coolest girl as Batgirl.
• 49:19
  Alicia Silverstone. She's great.
• 49:21
  She's great in that, too. Yeah, she actually.
• 49:23
  She's really, she's really solid.
• 49:26
  All right, so they're infiltrating the place.
• 49:27
  Dutch makes it into the encampment, and he manages to
• 49:31
  knock out one of the people there.
• 49:32
  This ends up being Anno. Max says, hey boss, these
• 49:37
  hostages were all CIA and their captors were Russian, which is
• 49:42
  really weird where we're at. Yeah, it's really weird too that
• 49:47
  some of the people down there were speaking Spanish and then
• 49:50
  others were speaking Russian. So there's like a mixture of
• 49:53
  people down there. I think the Spanish yeah,
• 49:56
  that's. And I didn't bother to look up
• 50:00
  which particular. And here's The thing is the US
• 50:03
  is always meddling in something, so it doesn't even necessarily
• 50:07
  have to be a major war that's going on.
• 50:09
  No, Yeah, at this. Time that they're referencing
• 50:11
  it's. Probably just on like a Spanish
• 50:13
  speaking location is where. Yeah, we don't get a location,
• 50:18
  do we? OK.
• 50:19
  And this is also where we get the line where it's Mack and
• 50:23
  Blaine together and he's like, you're bleeding.
• 50:25
  He's like they ain't got time to bleed.
• 50:27
  You got time to duck. And guys, duck is Talia's
• 50:31
  sleeper agent. Word it has been since she's a
• 50:34
  puppy. She doesn't like ducks.
• 50:35
  She doesn't trust them. She has a moral like
• 50:39
  predisposition against ducks, and when Max says you got time
• 50:43
  to duck, Talia started fucking barking at the TV.
• 50:46
  She was not feeling it. She was.
• 50:48
  She was very mad about that. All right, so everything's
• 50:50
  calmed down. Dutch realizes that this is a
• 50:53
  setup from Dylan, so he confronts him on it.
• 50:56
  Apparently they ended up stopping an invasion by doing
• 50:59
  this. Yeah, it's a very like like a
• 51:03
  trolley problem type thing. In his head he was like, we're
• 51:05
  looking, you know, the the the end result is more lives are
• 51:09
  saved. Like, yeah, I did something
• 51:11
  shitty, but like, it was like, for the greater good.
• 51:14
  Essentially, yeah, that's what he's trying to say.
• 51:16
  But Dutch is, you know, obviously very betrayed because
• 51:19
  they thought they were doing a rescue mission and they were
• 51:21
  turned into assassins, which is not their.
• 51:24
  It's not the job that they all thought that they were signing
• 51:27
  up for. They were OK with needing to
• 51:29
  shoot and explode if that's what they had to do to rescue their
• 51:31
  people, but they weren't going in there.
• 51:33
  With that, yeah, that wasn't their goal.
• 51:36
  And Dylan kind of gets a little bit mean spirited with this.
• 51:40
  And he just tells me it's like you guys are in NASA, like, you
• 51:43
  know. You guys are expendable, yeah.
• 51:46
  And then he decides that he's going to take Anna as his
• 51:49
  hostage, and Dutch says I will have nothing to do with it.
• 51:51
  She is yours to deal with. Mm hmm.
• 51:54
  So the Predator is watching them again.
• 51:55
  Mm hmm. Mack calls to Dylan over and
• 51:58
  he's like, hey, Dylan, come here.
• 51:59
  And then he slowly walks over. He's like, turn around.
• 52:02
  So he slowly turns around. And then Mack takes a knife,
• 52:06
  stabs Dylan right on the shoulder.
• 52:08
  And you think it's going to be like a betrayal, But Nope,
• 52:10
  there's a fucking scorpion on his back.
• 52:12
  Top three Fears Top three fears I.
• 52:17
  But it's bad ass, man. I fucking love how he's like get
• 52:20
  over here, Like he just fucking stabs it like that, which.
• 52:23
  This is me. This is how I feel every time in
• 52:26
  the summer when we're outside and you're like, hey, come here
• 52:29
  and turn around and I know that there's a bug on me.
• 52:31
  I just know. I know that's what's happening.
• 52:34
  So this being a scorpion is like extra nightmare fuel for me.
• 52:38
  They have to take a path out because their rescue chopper
• 52:42
  won't come in this close and the path according to Billy, is
• 52:45
  really bad. And apparently that's like
• 52:47
  Billy's big thing. So they're all like, well, that
• 52:49
  sucks because we believe you. That is bad, but they have to
• 52:51
  go. I like this moment though, when
• 52:53
  they're on their way out. Well, when they're on their way
• 52:55
  out, the predator swoops in like picks up the scorpion just to
• 53:00
  look at it, which is kind of fucking creepy.
• 53:02
  But also Hawkins tells another big pussy joke to.
• 53:06
  Billy. Billy.
• 53:07
  And then, like, there's a pause there.
• 53:09
  And then he was at this gigantic laugh, and that's what the
• 53:12
  Predator walks in. He like, records it.
• 53:14
  Yeah, that's fucking creepy that he like, like, replays the audio
• 53:18
  from all of his, like, squad mates.
• 53:20
  I think, yeah. And I think Billy's brain broke
• 53:23
  in this moment and he just, like, he just couldn't process
• 53:27
  his emotions, so he had, like, inappropriate laughter.
• 53:29
  I refuse to believe he actually thought that the joke was funny.
• 53:32
  I think he did. It's one of those ones where it
• 53:34
  kind of becomes an anti joke eventually, where you're just
• 53:36
  kind of laughing at how stupid it is.
• 53:38
  You know what? I mean, yeah, I wouldn't say
• 53:42
  it's an anti joke. I'd just say it's not funny.
• 53:44
  You're not laughing at it for the reasons that you should.
• 53:46
  Yeah, laughing at it because it's stupid and his delivery is
• 53:49
  bad. Yeah, exactly.
• 53:50
  And I think I kind of felt like Hawkins was leaning into that.
• 53:54
  I was like, yeah, I know this is stupid, but yeah, OK, So they
• 53:58
  kind of hesitate. Billy spooked.
• 54:01
  And I like how, Yeah, Dutch is like, Billy spooked.
• 54:04
  What happened to him? Yeah, he said.
• 54:06
  He's never. Scared.
• 54:07
  I like things so. They're frightened by the, he
• 54:09
  says. Frightened Billy spooked.
• 54:11
  Been acting squirrely all morning.
• 54:13
  Damn knows of his or something. Apparently this guy like he's a
• 54:18
  natural for. Like.
• 54:19
  Sniffing out and just finding trails or tracks or just
• 54:22
  anything suspicious. Out in the wild, danger, like
• 54:25
  all of that. Like, he's a good, he's a good
• 54:27
  person to have on, you know, a rescue team.
• 54:29
  Yeah, really. He's just out there and he's
• 54:31
  staring into the trees. And then as this is happening,
• 54:34
  we see Anna. She grabs the.
• 54:36
  Stick. Yeah, she hits him.
• 54:39
  Yeah, she and she hits him. She makes an escape at him.
• 54:42
  Hawkins grabs her so, but as that happens, the predator
• 54:46
  swoops in and grabs Hawkins and drags him away.
• 54:48
  Yeah. So Poncho gets her.
• 54:52
  She's fucking freaked out and they want to know what happened.
• 54:55
  So they ask her and they say that she's not making much sense
• 54:58
  with her answer, but it's basically she's saying the
• 55:01
  jungle came alive and dragged him away.
• 55:04
  Yeah, so when they catch her and they go to look for Hawkins's
• 55:08
  body, they just find what I referred to as a bloody meat
• 55:11
  mess. Yeah, but it wasn't like enough
• 55:13
  to be a body. So they decide that they're
• 55:15
  going to go around and look for him.
• 55:17
  Like I was like, did you find Hawkins is like, I don't know,
• 55:20
  like it's just like. A.
• 55:21
  Which is a bad, bad answer to hear, yeah, in that moment.
• 55:26
  It's just like a like a fucking pile of flesh.
• 55:29
  Yeah, Dutch sends. The squad to go get the body,
• 55:31
  you're like, all right, we need to get his body, so everybody
• 55:33
  split up and let's go get it. Yeah, his weapons and his radio
• 55:37
  were left by the bloody neat mess also.
• 55:39
  So they're like, that's weird. It clearly isn't like a
• 55:42
  guerrilla fighter because they would have taken our stuff.
• 55:47
  We get a shot, though, and we see that he's up there in the
• 55:49
  trees. He's yeah, And he's getting
• 55:52
  deskinned. Yeah, it's skin is about to
• 55:55
  become a lot less stable on its own, so Blaine gets shot and
• 56:02
  killed. Yeah, the arrows, the predator
• 56:06
  arrows, they shoot him right through the chest.
• 56:08
  And Mack kind of like sees him because he sees like the
• 56:11
  shifting in the trees. And like, from his perspective,
• 56:13
  it's kind of like when you're, you know, like when you're
• 56:15
  grilling and the heat's coming off the grill.
• 56:16
  Yeah, distorts things. That's what it kind of looks
• 56:19
  like. Uh, huh.
• 56:19
  And he, like, gets that vision of it.
• 56:22
  So he goes chasing after it just because, like, him and Blaine
• 56:25
  were buddies. Like, that was his best.
• 56:26
  Yeah, right there. And he's shooting wildly and he
• 56:29
  says contact and everybody comes around it and they just trust
• 56:34
  him and they're shooting. Too.
• 56:35
  I love, though, that he takes payments.
• 56:37
  Hundreds of rounds. Yeah, I just like how they're
• 56:40
  like, let's just fucking shoot the jungle.
• 56:41
  Like they just shoot everything there, yeah?
• 56:44
  And then they go and they check to see if there was a trace of
• 56:47
  anything because they obliterated everything.
• 56:49
  But Billy doesn't find any trace at all.
• 56:52
  However, Anna happens to see green little radioactive looking
• 56:56
  blood on the leaves. So.
• 56:58
  And they see the wounds on Blaine and he, they don't have
• 57:02
  any, like, powder residue. And they're already, like,
• 57:04
  thoroughly cauterized. And they realized that they hit
• 57:07
  nothing except for, like you said, Anna sees the blood on on
• 57:12
  a branch. So they take Blaine's body, wrap
• 57:15
  it up in his poncho, and then they decide that they're going
• 57:18
  to set up traps. Kind of like a little tripwires.
• 57:23
  It's all Dylan to get on the radio, too.
• 57:25
  So the Predator is doctoring its own wound.
• 57:28
  It's kind of cool to watch it do it, and I love that it's doing
• 57:31
  it with its massive claws. So next time you see somebody
• 57:34
  see a person with really long nails, be they acrylic or
• 57:38
  natural, don't ask them how they do fucking shit with it.
• 57:41
  Just watch Predator and watch it heal its own wound and be like,
• 57:44
  Oh yeah, sometimes people can just actually have dexterity.
• 57:47
  Yeah, I guess so. I just I hate as somebody with
• 57:49
  long nails. I hate it when people are like,
• 57:50
  hyping your content, how you wipe your butt.
• 57:52
  And I'm like this. These are really invasive
• 57:54
  questions. Yeah, those are really weird.
• 57:55
  Yeah. I like it's sad to see the scene
• 57:59
  with Mac when he's just saying goodbye to Blaine, though, and
• 58:02
  he, like, gives him one last ring from the flask.
• 58:04
  He swears his vengeance. No, I felt bad from it's.
• 58:10
  It's just so sad. Yeah, and they have to stay
• 58:12
  there for the night because the chopper won't extract them where
• 58:17
  their axe. They say the area is still
• 58:18
  compromised. Next contact will be in the
• 58:20
  morning and then Billy is kind of acting like the harbinger as
• 58:24
  well. So that doesn't do any good.
• 58:28
  And they put Mack on 1st watch, which I think makes sense
• 58:30
  because even though he's like kind of grieving the hardest
• 58:33
  over Blaine, he still has a lot of that adrenaline.
• 58:35
  And then once he crashes he's probably going to be crashed
• 58:37
  hard. So it would be a bad idea to put
• 58:39
  him on a later watch and have to rouse him, but.
• 58:41
  They're like trying to gather again what it was that they're
• 58:44
  dealing with. And Mack just keeps saying, like
• 58:46
  the eyes disappeared, like, I don't know what to tell you.
• 58:48
  Like there were eyes there and they just went away.
• 58:50
  So then they ask Anna one more time what happened to Hawkins
• 58:54
  and she just repeats the same thing.
• 58:57
  Juggle came alive and took him away.
• 58:59
  So Mack is attacked while he's on watch and they all hear him
• 59:02
  yelling and fighting something shooting and stabbing.
• 59:06
  So they chase, run after him and find him killing a wild boar.
• 59:11
  I mean, that boar was aggressive, though it tackled
• 59:13
  him. Yeah.
• 59:14
  So when they get back to camp, they're surprised to see that
• 59:16
  Anna's still there, but Blaine's body is gone and the Tripwire's
• 59:21
  never even got set off. So they're like, whoa.
• 59:25
  And they realized that it must be because whatever it is is
• 59:28
  using the trees. And the hostage says that it
• 59:33
  changes colors, kind of like a lizard.
• 59:36
  And she says that, you know, it was wounded before she reveals
• 59:42
  the blood. So that's when they decide that
• 59:43
  they're going to set more traps. I like how like Dutch is like,
• 59:46
  all right, I'm going to ask her myself, and she's like, cool,
• 59:48
  'cause I can speak English too, like she.
• 59:50
  Just, yeah. It was like, I've heard all of
• 59:52
  the shit you guys have been talking about this entire time.
• 59:55
  Yeah, basically cause Dylan's like we need to just try and get
• 59:59
  to the rendezvous point and Dutch is like it is hunting us,
• 1:00:03
  picking us off 1 by 1. We need to kill it.
• 1:00:07
  So there's. People for the choppers you pick
• 1:00:10
  up. Did you mention that Poncho got
• 1:00:12
  hurt because one of the traps got set off and it was the log
• 1:00:16
  and it swung down and hit him, So he's.
• 1:00:18
  A Yeah, I missed that. All right, so now they're just
• 1:00:23
  kind of being vigilant. Dylan hears a voice whisper to
• 1:00:26
  turn around though, which is creepy because you've seen
• 1:00:28
  already that the Predator can emulate voices.
• 1:00:31
  But he goes back there and it's Mack.
• 1:00:33
  Mack is just creepily getting Dylan's back the entire time in
• 1:00:37
  this movie. Yeah, he's shaved.
• 1:00:39
  This is where he's shaving his temple.
• 1:00:42
  And then he like, tells him he's like, look over there.
• 1:00:45
  I see it right there. And then like, you can see it in
• 1:00:47
  the distance. There's like that little, like
• 1:00:49
  waviness that you were talking about before it.
• 1:00:51
  The predator's just kind of up in the tree, just standing
• 1:00:53
  there. So Anna says that this has
• 1:00:56
  happened before, especially when it's hot out.
• 1:00:59
  And she says that it's a they all think of it as a demon and
• 1:01:02
  it makes trophy of men. So it's not like it's not
• 1:01:07
  hunting for food, it's hunting for sport and it's keeping them
• 1:01:09
  as trophies. Kind of like, you know when
• 1:01:11
  people hunt deer for sport? Or hunt, you know, fucking
• 1:01:15
  endangered species for sport. Oh shit, no.
• 1:01:19
  Well, hold on. We And then this is where a trip
• 1:01:21
  where it goes off, it explodes, the Predator escapes, and
• 1:01:25
  Poncho's wounded. So we are like way on different
• 1:01:29
  pages cuz I was way past that in my notes what I was talking
• 1:01:32
  about here. Yeah, no, I'm this is where I'm
• 1:01:34
  still at, no. OK, so after all of that, he
• 1:01:38
  calls Dylan over to tell him that's where the Predator is.
• 1:01:43
  And. Then he starts to crawl in over
• 1:01:45
  there to it, and then as it happens, he gets the laser on
• 1:01:49
  him and he's like, oh shit. And then it blows his head off.
• 1:01:52
  Yeah, it's so sad. Yeah, Dylan finds Max body and
• 1:01:58
  then he sees the predator himself and starts to shoot at
• 1:02:00
  it. But then the Predator shoots
• 1:02:01
  Dylan's arm off. Yeah, and then we just kind of
• 1:02:04
  hear an off screen yell and it's implied that he was killed.
• 1:02:06
  No. He pulls out knives and grabs
• 1:02:08
  him and just like straight up stabs him.
• 1:02:11
  Really. Yeah.
• 1:02:12
  OK. I missed that.
• 1:02:13
  I assumed that he lived longer, so I didn't.
• 1:02:16
  I didn't make a ton of notes. I just heard that his arm got
• 1:02:18
  shot off. The rest of the group is
• 1:02:21
  running. Billy, like, keeps himself back.
• 1:02:24
  Like he's like kind of using himself as bait or whatever.
• 1:02:27
  Yeah, he's. Going to take it on.
• 1:02:29
  Dutch gets shot and he just like falls off a Cliff and shoots off
• 1:02:33
  a waterfall it. Shoots Poncho.
• 1:02:35
  River. It shoots, No, They shoot
• 1:02:37
  Poncho's ear off, then it shoots Dutch.
• 1:02:40
  That's when Dutch yells at Anna and the rest of them to get to
• 1:02:43
  the Choppa, and then Dutch runs off.
• 1:02:46
  So they have all split up. That's when Dutch goes and he
• 1:02:50
  slides down the mountain and then he slides into the river,
• 1:02:53
  which then causes him to go down the river and then fall off of a
• 1:02:56
  waterfall. No, he like Boo Boo Boo Boo Boo
• 1:03:00
  Boo Boo, rolls down a Cliff to get to the river.
• 1:03:02
  He slides. It's OK.
• 1:03:04
  It's not. You're making it sound way more
• 1:03:06
  intentional than it. It's not controlled.
• 1:03:09
  No, I'm not saying I'm not meaning.
• 1:03:11
  It was like intentional. Like he accidentally slips down
• 1:03:14
  and he slides like he's not intentionally going off of a
• 1:03:16
  Cliff. I don't think anybody would be
• 1:03:18
  doing that other than Rambo. So.
• 1:03:20
  And as that's happening, the Predator actually is falling
• 1:03:22
  behind him. Yeah, it's like in the water.
• 1:03:24
  When he comes up at the Bank of the river, he's completely
• 1:03:27
  covered in mud and the predator can't sense his like surface
• 1:03:31
  level heat. So he's kind of like camouflage.
• 1:03:35
  That way we see Billy is dead, Dutch decides that he's gonna
• 1:03:39
  make some weapons and he prepares to fight the Predator.
• 1:03:43
  And when the Predator approaches, they've got like a
• 1:03:45
  little bit of like a cat and mouse.
• 1:03:47
  And he tries to lure him over. And basically when the Predator
• 1:03:53
  does approach, he doesn't fall for the trap.
• 1:03:55
  But that's where he, like, takes off his mask and he's like,
• 1:03:57
  we're fucking fighting. And Arnie calls him one ugly
• 1:04:01
  motherfucker like. How he doesn't fall for the trap
• 1:04:05
  and then he goes to try and get him and then that ended up being
• 1:04:08
  what Dutch was expecting him to do.
• 1:04:11
  So he then like, kicks the thing that was supposed to be the
• 1:04:13
  trap, and it causes a weighted thing to fall on top of the
• 1:04:16
  predator. Yeah, he yeah.
• 1:04:19
  It's like I put it as a sandbag. It's pretty much.
• 1:04:23
  That's what it looked like to me.
• 1:04:24
  So the predator's got like this little cuff on its arm, and it
• 1:04:27
  hits some buttons and an explosion happens, and we see
• 1:04:31
  the chopper at the nearby rendezvous point start to leave
• 1:04:34
  with Anna, and Dutch is on the ground and he's kind of like,
• 1:04:38
  you know, badass movie star explosions and dust all around
• 1:04:41
  him. And he assumes the predator's
• 1:04:43
  dead and everything's good. And then the chopper comes and
• 1:04:45
  gets him. We kind of like glossed over a
• 1:04:47
  lot of shit there at the end. I don't write out a lot of the
• 1:04:50
  moves of the fight when it's a lot of just like, 'cause there's
• 1:04:53
  like 10 minutes of them fighting.
• 1:04:54
  I didn't make a ton of notes about it, honestly.
• 1:04:57
  Yeah, I guess that's pretty much it then.
• 1:05:00
  There are cool moments in there that we could have discussed,
• 1:05:02
  but let's just go ahead and go on.
• 1:05:04
  We can. Discuss some of them if you
• 1:05:05
  want. I just didn't write them down,
• 1:05:06
  'cause it's it is hard for me to follow my notes with like action
• 1:05:10
  sequences and trying to make it make sense.
• 1:05:13
  So I just a lot of times don't. I like how at the end, like how
• 1:05:17
  it like it laughs whenever it calls in the explosion.
• 1:05:22
  Like it. It's using Billy's laugh from
• 1:05:25
  before whenever he got the joke, which I think is important why
• 1:05:28
  the joke actually landed there so they could get that laugh.
• 1:05:30
  And like. The predator's like, all right,
• 1:05:32
  like you've got me, but I'm getting you too.
• 1:05:35
  Well, and there's like a line where before he takes off the
• 1:05:38
  mask and he goes, what are you? And the predator goes, what are
• 1:05:41
  you? Yeah.
• 1:05:42
  And it's like, was it ready for that?
• 1:05:46
  I like how it's also like you're one ugly son of a bitch.
• 1:05:50
  No, he says. You're one ugly motherfucker.
• 1:05:52
  That's it, yeah. At the end of the special
• 1:05:54
  features, all of the actors like did their impression of him
• 1:05:58
  saying that, so keeping it at 10.
• 1:06:03
  Absolutely. Yeah, I think I'm gonna do the
• 1:06:05
  same. Man, OK, so 10 out of 10, I
• 1:06:08
  don't really have any changes what I want for it personally.
• 1:06:12
  I think you can up Anna's role a little bit.
• 1:06:15
  OK, That's fair. Yeah, I mean, that's not gonna
• 1:06:17
  hurt the movie in any way whatsoever.
• 1:06:19
  I think it would make it a lot better, honestly.
• 1:06:20
  I mean, it's already an amazing movie, but that would just make
• 1:06:24
  it even better. Could be an 11.
• 1:06:26
  Oh, crank it to 11. Yeah, OK, That's how you think.
• 1:06:32
  Well, Talia was started off laying on the couch.
• 1:06:35
  She needed to go out at 23 minutes and 47 seconds.
• 1:06:38
  You know, it could be that she wasn't feeling it, or it could
• 1:06:40
  be that she was making sure she was ready for all the action.
• 1:06:43
  Yeah. So.
• 1:06:44
  You know, whichever way you wanna look at that.
• 1:06:46
  And then she came back in and she was playing with her rabbit.
• 1:06:49
  She was getting really into it. And then at one point, she
• 1:06:51
  farted really loud. Oh, yeah, she did then.
• 1:06:54
  She like, let out a real loud fart and she was like, whoops.
• 1:06:58
  I wonder if she was like scared or something.
• 1:07:00
  Yeah, so I think between like the rabbit, making sure she
• 1:07:03
  didn't miss any more action, and the farting, that's gonna be a
• 1:07:05
  10 out of 10 for Talia too. As we said, Zoe did watch this
• 1:07:11
  because hello so many explosions.
• 1:07:16
  I thought it might be fun because Zoe has been watching
• 1:07:20
  more and more of some movies with us lately.
• 1:07:23
  I thought it might be fun to change up the Zoe measure for
• 1:07:27
  the movie and maybe who Zoe thinks is the supreme hunter in
• 1:07:34
  each movie. Who's The Ultimate Warrior, The
• 1:07:37
  best predator, if you will? Like what?
• 1:07:41
  Who she admires the most. I think.
• 1:07:44
  Whose skill she admires the most.
• 1:07:45
  I think she's like we were talking so many times last night
• 1:07:48
  that she probably sees herself as the predator that she kind of
• 1:07:52
  admires it's skill set the most and it's tools.
• 1:07:58
  Like she probably also has some variation of P vision.
• 1:08:04
  I would think so. I would think though, that she
• 1:08:08
  might also really admire Billy because he can just sense stuff
• 1:08:13
  in the air, you know? So there's an argument to be
• 1:08:17
  made for that as well. I think Talia is Billy in that
• 1:08:20
  sense, because Talia kind of gets that smell like she'll
• 1:08:23
  like, look around. I think she senses the place a
• 1:08:25
  little bit more. OK, so you think Zoe's looking
• 1:08:27
  up to the predator to the most? I think so.
• 1:08:29
  OK, Yeah, that's just my guess. She's the ultimate hunter.
• 1:08:34
  And I mean, that's what the Predator is like.
• 1:08:36
  It's the fucking ultimate hunter.
• 1:08:37
  That's why it came here. Yeah, that's a good point.
• 1:08:40
  That's a very good point. OK, All right.
• 1:08:43
  So who did you relate to? Honestly, I'd probably have to
• 1:08:49
  relate to Billy not fucking dealing with Hawkins's nonsense.
• 1:08:53
  Yeah. At least in the beginning.
• 1:08:55
  And then, like I said, I refuse to believe he actually found
• 1:08:57
  that second joke funny. I think his brain was just
• 1:08:59
  broken. I'll relate to Hawkins because I
• 1:09:04
  think, like, if I were to be, if I were ever drafted into the
• 1:09:10
  Army, I would be the one that is, like, this guy probably
• 1:09:13
  doesn't belong. Like, are we sure we needed to
• 1:09:16
  draft this guy right here? Does he really need to be a part
• 1:09:19
  of this crew? And I'd be telling stupid jokes
• 1:09:21
  too. Look at this guy.
• 1:09:22
  He hasn't had his hair this short and year.
• 1:09:25
  Got glasses on? I don't have to wear glasses,
• 1:09:28
  but you know. Yeah, they.
• 1:09:30
  I would still have them though, because I, you know, I'm I'm
• 1:09:33
  being the stereotype. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:35
  Yeah, I think so. All right.
• 1:09:38
  Stream sequel. OK, what?
• 1:09:40
  Do we wanna see? From the sequel.
• 1:09:41
  Yeah, we have nothing. Yeah, we know nothing about any
• 1:09:43
  of the sequels. I've seen Alien versus Predator.
• 1:09:46
  I haven't. OK, so I haven't even seen that.
• 1:09:50
  So for me, I wanna see how it survived like that.
• 1:09:56
  I want it to pick up basically right where this left off, OK?
• 1:10:00
  I want it to survive and I want it to track Dutch and Anna to
• 1:10:03
  wherever their next location is. See, that's the thing.
• 1:10:06
  Like, I feel like this movie perfectly sets Anna up to be an
• 1:10:09
  important character in the sequel.
• 1:10:11
  Yeah. I could see her like having a
• 1:10:13
  major role in the sequel. Yeah, I I like that.
• 1:10:16
  Like he sticks around different environment, like let's get them
• 1:10:20
  out of the jungle. Like he, he happens to be called
• 1:10:23
  away to another mission. Yeah.
• 1:10:25
  So he's following Dutch. He's tracking it.
• 1:10:27
  But his explosion wasn't actually an explosion.
• 1:10:30
  Like that was just kind of a side effect.
• 1:10:31
  But he was sending a distress call.
• 1:10:33
  So now it becomes kind of like a reversal of the first one where
• 1:10:37
  some other predators. Yeah, his team are coming in to
• 1:10:40
  rescue him. Yeah.
• 1:10:42
  Against. Oh, that's against Arnie.
• 1:10:44
  Arnie's going to get fucking killed.
• 1:10:45
  Him and Anna both are going to just get decimated.
• 1:10:47
  Yeah, And I was like, I'm not signing the contract for this
• 1:10:51
  movie. I mean, I would like to see that
• 1:10:55
  he has to like reform his own team.
• 1:10:56
  I don't know. We didn't see, we actually
• 1:10:58
  didn't see Dylan die, OK? Like we saw it cut away before
• 1:11:03
  he. Gets dead because last night you
• 1:11:04
  were like Dylan's dead and I was like horror movie rules if you
• 1:11:08
  do not see the body. As far as this movie is
• 1:11:10
  concerned though, he died. Like that's what we're meant to
• 1:11:13
  be bleeding as of now, so I want him to be alive.
• 1:11:19
  He's got a robotic arm. They have like, they found
• 1:11:23
  leftover technology from the Predator and they're like, all
• 1:11:26
  right, we can use some of this shit to like, make actual.
• 1:11:29
  I love that. If, especially if Stan Winston
• 1:11:32
  can be involved in our sequel, he's got to be, yeah.
• 1:11:35
  And he does. A nod to his own Terminator
• 1:11:38
  stuff and that. Would be awesome.
• 1:11:40
  Like Arnold has to fight the tournament.
• 1:11:41
  Terminator this time. Oh my God, what if it's Dylan?
• 1:11:45
  What if Dylan is the predator? He's like you son of a bitch.
• 1:11:51
  Any arm wrestles him with the fake new arm.
• 1:11:54
  This is just getting stupid now. We should probably stop.
• 1:11:56
  It is OK, OK. All right, new tagline.
• 1:12:01
  Oh man, OK. All right, welcome to the jungle
• 1:12:14
  predator. I can't fucking see anything.
• 1:12:19
  Oh, you won't see it coming. Oh, that's good.
• 1:12:23
  OK, all right. OK, We workshop that together.
• 1:12:26
  Yeah, that was a real team effort.
• 1:12:27
  OK. All right, cool.
• 1:12:29
  You won't see it coming. Yeah, that's.
• 1:12:30
  Great. Here's a little peek behind the
• 1:12:32
  curtains. When it takes a really long time
• 1:12:34
  for us to come up with a tagline, we are cutting out all
• 1:12:38
  of the silence. We're not making the show up.
• 1:12:40
  Yeah, our. Ass like that.
• 1:12:42
  About half of our like bad ideas get cut too.
• 1:12:46
  Some of the sillier ones stay, but yeah, just just so you know,
• 1:12:51
  just so you have an idea of what our collaborative process is.
• 1:12:54
  Sometimes, like last week, one of us comes in with the perfect
• 1:12:59
  pun already. But most of the time, it's rare.
• 1:13:02
  It's a lot of. It's hard.
• 1:13:04
  The only person that I know that is really good at rattling off
• 1:13:08
  tag lines is Steve. Yeah, from the decision real
• 1:13:12
  like he he fucking. And he's also good at rattling
• 1:13:15
  off sequels like. Yeah.
• 1:13:17
  Oh man, we'll we'll have him here later this month.
• 1:13:20
  He's gonna be part of scarying. Episodes Scary movie.
• 1:13:23
  So we'll be able to test his ability soon, yeah?
• 1:13:26
  OK, we need to have him come up with like 3 taglines, yeah?
• 1:13:31
  OK, time for an Internet review. OK, All right.
• 1:13:35
  So obviously I went with a bad Yeah.
• 1:13:37
  Review for this, Yeah, because we both know that we love this.
• 1:13:40
  So I got a one out 10 on IMDb. What It's I found it tedious.
• 1:13:45
  Is the title OK? There are guns and other weapons
• 1:13:48
  of blazing in this sci-fi thriller about an alien creature
• 1:13:51
  who's single handedly wiping out an elite military team sent into
• 1:13:55
  the jungles of Central America to rescue some hostages.
• 1:13:58
  All that. It sounds strange, but I found
• 1:14:00
  this tedious viewing all the way through.
• 1:14:02
  To me, it's most noteworthy for having two future US governors
• 1:14:06
  in the cast. Jesse Ventura, future governor
• 1:14:08
  of Minnesota, did not fucking know that.
• 1:14:10
  Wow. Played a small part and Arnold
• 1:14:12
  Schwarzenegger, future governor of California, was the star.
• 1:14:15
  The story itself was repetitious all the way through a triumphs
• 1:14:18
  through the jungle while being stalked by a monster in the
• 1:14:22
  dialogue, as might be expected with this kind of movie, was
• 1:14:26
  weak. Schwarzenegger really was called
• 1:14:28
  upon to do every little thing. Acceptable, tough.
• 1:14:32
  Wait, this doesn't make sense. Schwarzenegger really was called
• 1:14:35
  upon to do very little, except oh.
• 1:14:37
  Very little. Except look tough, which
• 1:14:40
  admittedly he does well. And I wondered, as any thinking
• 1:14:43
  person would do, why the creature didn't just kill Dutch
• 1:14:46
  when it had him by the throat pinned against the tree.
• 1:14:48
  I suppose because that would have taken away the chance to
• 1:14:50
  have the really cool ending with a huge explosion, and then
• 1:14:53
  Arnold standing victoriously in a macho pose as he looks around
• 1:14:57
  at the carnage. Tedious sums up all I need to
• 1:14:59
  say about this from my perspective.
• 1:15:02
  OK, I guess I could see that, cuz it is a lot of jungle action
• 1:15:07
  and like I said at the beginning, I struggled with it
• 1:15:09
  at some points just because the vision thing for me really, I
• 1:15:15
  mean it is a lot visually to be very monotonous.
• 1:15:19
  They, I mean, they even mentioned themselves that the
• 1:15:21
  jungle's not cinematically, Yeah, like, interesting to look
• 1:15:24
  at. And there's a lot of it.
• 1:15:25
  And they tried their best to make it, Yeah, cool.
• 1:15:27
  And I think that they mostly succeeded.
• 1:15:30
  But I can definitely understand like how it just becomes bland
• 1:15:33
  after a certain point. And I like, I also, I grew up
• 1:15:37
  watching a lot of war movies, so this is not anything that I'm
• 1:15:43
  new to. Yeah, So it's it's an area I'm
• 1:15:47
  comfortable with. So I can see if it's not
• 1:15:49
  something that a lot of people watch that it like might feel
• 1:15:53
  tedious, 'cause that's, I mean that's war isn't all like
• 1:15:56
  action. There's.
• 1:15:57
  A lot. Of tedium too like.
• 1:15:59
  I feel like they broke it up pretty nice when they got to the
• 1:16:02
  gorilla camp, like that was cool.
• 1:16:05
  I was pleasantly surprised because we, and this is a thing
• 1:16:07
  that we go through with a lot of horror movies, like the ones
• 1:16:10
  that aren't very like, cleverly written, that like, oh, person
• 1:16:14
  walks into a room, things happen.
• 1:16:16
  For some reason, they go to another room and things happen.
• 1:16:18
  And that feels very repetitious and tedious to me.
• 1:16:22
  And I feel like this movie kept it generally fresh with the way
• 1:16:25
  that they were doing stuff. And even like just shots of the
• 1:16:28
  gungle, gungle, the jungle were pretty like, interesting, I
• 1:16:32
  thought, because they kept suspense there with the predator
• 1:16:34
  up in the trees, like, you know, they're always kind of on their
• 1:16:37
  toes the entire time. Yeah, so.
• 1:16:39
  But I I can definitely see the perspective.
• 1:16:42
  Obviously I thoroughly enjoyed it though.
• 1:16:45
  I did too. I liked it a lot, but I can 100%
• 1:16:48
  understand how they could get old real fast depending on what
• 1:16:51
  your taste. Is, yeah.
• 1:16:52
  Depending on what you're what you're looking for in a movie.
• 1:16:55
  Because I do think that war movies are a thing all on their
• 1:16:59
  own. Like, truthfully, they might not
• 1:17:02
  even like something like Tropic Thunder, because there's a lot
• 1:17:05
  of like walking through the woods in it, you know?
• 1:17:07
  Yeah, OK, so on to listener reviews.
• 1:17:12
  You got a decent amount, say. Okay, yeah, yeah, that was blown
• 1:17:15
  up. Yeah, okay.
• 1:17:16
  We'll start off on Instagram. So priscil is, says Goaded
• 1:17:20
  movie. Infinitely watchable, infinitely
• 1:17:23
  quotable, Absolutely. There's so many quotable lines
• 1:17:26
  in this movie and like, it's just a fun movie to throw on no
• 1:17:30
  matter what. Like I can just watch this thing
• 1:17:32
  and be entertained 100% all the way through We.
• 1:17:35
  Were talking with Brian from the TV Trivia Pod earlier about how
• 1:17:39
  I love to do a Jennifer Jelly. Yours.
• 1:17:44
  Your version of that is. You son of a bitch.
• 1:17:49
  Man, I do a terrible one. I do.
• 1:17:50
  I think I do a good Dylan. It's hard, yeah.
• 1:17:53
  It's hard not to go comedy with it if it's not an accent that
• 1:17:56
  you, other than to be Dylan, an overacting action star.
• 1:18:03
  I mean, yeah, like, I think it's everybody has an Arnold, just
• 1:18:07
  like everybody has a Christopher Walken.
• 1:18:09
  It's just because, you know, like have easy to like replicate
• 1:18:12
  voices kind of. It's not.
• 1:18:15
  It's easy to replicate. It's that it's easy to pick up
• 1:18:19
  when you're trying to replicate. Right.
• 1:18:21
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:18:22
  You're not saying that they're all good, but like, everybody
• 1:18:24
  recognizes it because they're so unique.
• 1:18:26
  It's. It kind of makes me think of
• 1:18:27
  like the karaoke montages of people trying to do the get down
• 1:18:30
  with the sickness. I also that that was bad.
• 1:18:33
  That was really bad. Yeah, yeah, that was worse.
• 1:18:42
  And yeah, like we our first time watching this last year, we
• 1:18:45
  realized how many like me moments are in this movie.
• 1:18:48
  Like it's like, oh, that's where that's from.
• 1:18:50
  Like the like when they're arm wrestling, like I walked out of
• 1:18:53
  the Charlotte, like, yeah, we're bubbies.
• 1:18:55
  That's like the bubbie. And betrayal is coming.
• 1:18:57
  Yeah, OK, Betrayal. Cube save, says Perfect
• 1:19:02
  Masculine camp, a genre I adore. You know what?
• 1:19:05
  That is kind of like a sub genre I didn't even really think
• 1:19:07
  about. I love that term.
• 1:19:10
  Masculine camp. So great, because, like, they're
• 1:19:13
  like I, you know, jokingly at the beginning, I was like, this
• 1:19:15
  doesn't pass the Bechdel test. Obviously.
• 1:19:17
  It fucking doesn't. And obviously there's some
• 1:19:19
  moments in this that's really problematic.
• 1:19:20
  But when you think of it in terms of masculine camp, I'm
• 1:19:23
  like, Oh my God, I get it. I get why they wrote that line.
• 1:19:26
  Well, I mean, I was also reading like, you know, we got like so
• 1:19:29
  many large men in this movie, like we were saying before, but
• 1:19:32
  like, boys don't get swole for the girls, they get swole for
• 1:19:34
  the boys, you know what I mean? Just like girls don't wear
• 1:19:37
  makeup for boys. Yeah, boys don't get swole for
• 1:19:40
  girls. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:19:41
  I. Love this parallel and we all
• 1:19:44
  know I'm a fan of a Himbo. Yeah, which you don't get that
• 1:19:48
  in masculine camp necessarily, this one anyway.
• 1:19:52
  But like it's, it lends it lends itself to that.
• 1:19:56
  That's great, man. Thank you for introducing us to
• 1:19:59
  that time. Yeah.
• 1:19:59
  Thank you. OK, let's hop over to.
• 1:20:03
  To Twitter, Chad says one of my fave movies of all time.
• 1:20:07
  Glad you all have gotten around to watching that Blu-ray.
• 1:20:09
  I gave you two wonderful folks a while back.
• 1:20:11
  Can't wait for the episode. Chad has like harped on this
• 1:20:14
  movie ever since we've known him, so he's really the one that
• 1:20:17
  championed us to finally get into watching this thing.
• 1:20:20
  And thank you, Chad, because yeah, it was awesome.
• 1:20:23
  Yeah, when we watched it shortly after getting it the first time,
• 1:20:28
  it was it was so good. I think we even told him at the
• 1:20:30
  next meet up for. Like we did.
• 1:20:32
  Right. Thank you.
• 1:20:32
  Yeah. I think we thanked them whenever
• 1:20:35
  we were watching. Them.
• 1:20:35
  Yeah, yeah, actually we might have like, thrown a tweet out or
• 1:20:38
  something in the group chat. Ward Zombie says.
• 1:20:41
  Who doesn't love this movie? It is like a sci-fi slasher, but
• 1:20:45
  the victims put up one heck of a fight.
• 1:20:46
  Great action, unforgettable characters out of this world
• 1:20:49
  killer. Can't say enough good things
• 1:20:50
  about this movie. I see what you did there with
• 1:20:52
  the out of this world killer. I like that, though, because
• 1:20:55
  that's a really good point about we don't see it a ton.
• 1:20:59
  A lot of times in horror movies, what we get is somebody that has
• 1:21:02
  to learn to become this badass. But we've got these people that
• 1:21:05
  are already badass. They're already, like, trained
• 1:21:07
  for scenarios like this, and this goes a step beyond.
• 1:21:11
  So I do think that's a really interesting point that this
• 1:21:13
  movie takes. Kind of.
• 1:21:14
  I mean, kind of. Think about your next What's her
• 1:21:17
  name? Aaron?
• 1:21:18
  Maybe the character's name? Something like that, Yeah.
• 1:21:20
  It's Aaron. Yeah, How he she hadn't told
• 1:21:25
  Crispin yet about her doom, survivalist, survivalist
• 1:21:30
  upbringing and she ended up being perfect to take down the
• 1:21:34
  the bad guys in that movie. So I think it is something that
• 1:21:38
  if it was overused it would be too predictable.
• 1:21:40
  But I think it it works really well in this movie because they
• 1:21:43
  are generally trained for any scenario.
• 1:21:46
  But this is a step beyond that and I think it's a great, great,
• 1:21:51
  what is the word I'm looking for?
• 1:21:53
  Subversion. Yeah, maybe.
• 1:21:55
  I just like the blending of genres, like taking action and
• 1:21:58
  blending it with like a slasher. I wanna see yeah, slashers
• 1:22:00
  blended with other genres. Like give me a ROM com slasher.
• 1:22:03
  Yeah. Oh my God, yeah.
• 1:22:04
  No, for real. I would love a ROM com slasher.
• 1:22:08
  I think another one that does this really well.
• 1:22:10
  Also another R&E maybe. But like T2?
• 1:22:12
  Yeah, yeah, that's definitely like action horror also.
• 1:22:16
  The first one, especially T2, I feel like leans a little bit
• 1:22:18
  more personal action. Sorry, I'm very partial to T2,
• 1:22:21
  but yeah, the first one I'd say is definitely more horror.
• 1:22:23
  But I think that's just the James Cameron effect cuz.
• 1:22:26
  He did the. Same thing with aliens.
• 1:22:27
  Yeah, Aliens is more of an action than horror, but still
• 1:22:30
  has elements. Yeah, definitely Still has the
• 1:22:32
  elements, yeah. OK, Aquile boobs.
• 1:22:35
  He gave us A2 parter. OK, so.
• 1:22:37
  He does. I love that.
• 1:22:38
  When he does that, 'cause you know he's a.
• 1:22:40
  Real villain. Yeah.
• 1:22:41
  Well, he loves this movie. Y'all.
• 1:22:42
  I watched this for the first time when I was maybe 9 or 10.
• 1:22:46
  Can't believe that. The shit my dad and I would
• 1:22:48
  watch when I was a kid. I think a year later we started
• 1:22:50
  watching the Alien movies together.
• 1:22:52
  What's not to love about this movie?
• 1:22:53
  Action and cool creature villain at Double Cross Arnold, one of
• 1:22:58
  my favorite 80s action movies. And the sequel, in my honest
• 1:23:01
  opinion is even fucking better. Danny Glover taking on a
• 1:23:04
  Predator in fucking New York City?
• 1:23:06
  Come on, that's what the sequel is.
• 1:23:08
  It's Danny Glover. Oh, that's awesome.
• 1:23:11
  Oh my God, we got to watch it now.
• 1:23:13
  He ends it by saying, get to the chopper.
• 1:23:15
  Yes. Yeah.
• 1:23:16
  OK All right. And our final review is from
• 1:23:20
  Drew Ticketron. As is his name.
• 1:23:22
  As is his name. The ultimate in action.
• 1:23:24
  Horror. Yeah, don't People say it isn't
• 1:23:27
  horror, but I disagree. The predator does gruesome
• 1:23:30
  things and is an unknown stalking killer.
• 1:23:32
  Scared the shit out of me when I saw it on VHS as a kid.
• 1:23:35
  No, that's the point that I was saying.
• 1:23:37
  Like, it's an IT. They're being socked through the
• 1:23:39
  jungle. It's a classic kind of horror
• 1:23:41
  set up just like disguised in an action movie like package.
• 1:23:46
  Well, I mean, like, even the director was talking about,
• 1:23:49
  like, he's like, yeah, they really wanted, like, they
• 1:23:52
  brought me in because I'm a good action director.
• 1:23:54
  But, like, they didn't really know that.
• 1:23:55
  Like, I'm like a theater guy. And I like, I just like, I had
• 1:23:58
  to, like, hide the fact that I love theater.
• 1:24:00
  So it's like, yeah, cars, guns, yeah.
• 1:24:02
  But then like, I'm actually like this kind of guy.
• 1:24:03
  And it's like, I just want to make like, a good movie, like,
• 1:24:07
  with this right here. And I think he had in mind
• 1:24:08
  probably I was like, let's do some horror here.
• 1:24:10
  Well, OK, sorry, kind of tangential, but that makes me
• 1:24:13
  think it's Spencer Charnas of Ice 9 Kills because he is a huge
• 1:24:16
  musical theater person. Oh really?
• 1:24:18
  Yeah, like he. Kind of makes sense with the
• 1:24:19
  shows that he puts on. Yeah, but like also like, he
• 1:24:22
  includes like very, like, it's not just your standard like
• 1:24:28
  metal core type of sounds. Like he throws in a lot of like
• 1:24:32
  orchestral type moments almost sometimes.
• 1:24:34
  And he takes riffs from like famous musicals and stuff and
• 1:24:37
  we'll put them in there. That's cool.
• 1:24:38
  Like the it's the end of the world.
• 1:24:42
  Like takes from, I forget which musical it is, but like it's,
• 1:24:45
  you know, and he was like, you know, I'm like secretly turning
• 1:24:47
  these fans into, like they don't know it, but they're kind of
• 1:24:51
  musical fans now. Like, so I I love, I love like
• 1:24:55
  an undercover nerd, you know? Yeah.
• 1:24:57
  This guy was awesome. Like, all of the people were
• 1:24:59
  talking about how they loved him, too.
• 1:25:01
  And he's like, you know what my trick was like?
• 1:25:03
  I hired like great actors because like, I just wanted to
• 1:25:07
  turn them loose and let them do their thing in Arnie and a guy
• 1:25:10
  that had to get security for it. But you know, like great people.
• 1:25:14
  I honestly though I I do think Arnie does generally a good job.
• 1:25:17
  He just has to stay in his wheelhouse and trying to trying
• 1:25:20
  to pull up some PTSD is not his wheelhouse.
• 1:25:23
  No, he may have gotten better as he is.
• 1:25:25
  Yeah, he was very he was very young in this.
• 1:25:28
  Yeah, and this is really Arnie. But yeah, no, he fucking kills
• 1:25:30
  it in this. I like it.
• 1:25:31
  Yeah. Oh yeah, that's it for the
• 1:25:33
  reviews. That's it.
• 1:25:34
  And good. I'm just so glad we finally
• 1:25:36
  talked about this. This is a joy.
• 1:25:38
  I haven't stopped smiling. We talked about Child's Play
• 1:25:40
  before this. We're talking about Predator
• 1:25:43
  now. And we're gonna be talking about
• 1:25:46
  Spiral next. Week.
• 1:25:47
  Yeah, we are. I'm.
• 1:25:50
  This is the first movie we saw in theaters after COVID.
• 1:25:53
  Fun fact. So.
• 1:25:55
  But right now, because it isn't in theaters anymore, you have
• 1:25:59
  the option to watch it on Hulu, Hulu, My God my God, Okay, Hulu,
• 1:26:06
  Fubo TV, Sling TV, YouTube TV, a premium subscription.
• 1:26:11
  Or you can rent it from YouTube, Google Play, Fandango at home or
• 1:26:14
  Prime. It's an interesting one.
• 1:26:17
  It's different, I feel like, but also kind of the same.
• 1:26:20
  But. I like where they were going
• 1:26:23
  with it. Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts
• 1:26:26
  about it. I'm very excited to discuss it
• 1:26:29
  and I can't believe that that means that next month will be
• 1:26:34
  done for now with this all franchise.
• 1:26:36
  I know, but there is more. So we will be able to talk about
• 1:26:39
  some more of them. Yeah.
• 1:26:40
  Yeah, yeah. All right.
• 1:26:42
  So be on the lookout for that one.
• 1:26:44
  Watch that movie in preparation or just listen to us talk about
• 1:26:46
  whichever you prefer. Do both.
• 1:26:49
  You do both, Yeah. We suggest you do both.
• 1:26:50
  Yeah, draw your own conclusions. Don't just listen to us.
• 1:26:56
  You know, we have our very distinct taste in movies, and
• 1:27:01
  it's not everybody's taste in movies.
• 1:27:02
  But I think that's kind of the whole point of our show, is that
• 1:27:06
  we're not any better or worse than any other horror fans.
• 1:27:09
  And neither are you. Neither are you.
• 1:27:11
  Yeah, I'm talking to. You right there.
• 1:27:14
  What? What movie was it where he's
• 1:27:16
  like, Oh yeah, that's the point. We're all like none of us is too
• 1:27:22
  bad for heaven or something. Body Body Bible.
• 1:27:24
  Yeah, he's. Like, yeah, everybody's except
• 1:27:26
  for you. Except for you.
• 1:27:27
  Everybody's going to heaven but you.
• 1:27:28
  That was Ron Jeremy telling us all that, Yeah.
• 1:27:31
  Yeah, that was weird. That's fucking Ron Jeremy.
• 1:27:33
  So that's wild. Well, he was Jesus, so I don't
• 1:27:37
  know like it's. Hashtag not my Jesus.
• 1:27:40
  Yeah, yeah, because of the stuff that's come out about him.
• 1:27:45
  All right, so you can find this on social media.
• 1:27:49

  Far, yeah. So I mean, yeah, feel free to
• 1:28:29
  send those suggestions if you got anything through any of
• 1:28:31
  those outlets right there. Yeah, which we're doing our
• 1:28:34
  second annual prom month next month, which was prompted by a
• 1:28:37
  listener suggestion. True.
• 1:28:38
  So if you've got some prompt themed.
• 1:28:40
  Movies. The Munis era that whole bit
• 1:28:43
  came from, wasn't it Amber who initially suggested.
• 1:28:46
  I don't know who it was. It might have been.
• 1:28:49
  Somebody did remember? Who was?
• 1:28:50
  Somebody suggested stay alive. Stay alive.
• 1:28:53
  Yeah, because we were trying to get the Rory Gilmore boyfriend
• 1:28:57
  Trifecta. Yeah.
• 1:28:59
  And. I think we succeeded.
• 1:29:00
  Because of that, Patrick, Yeah, yeah, we did.
• 1:29:04
  And yeah, we ended up succeeding because we also had eight legged
• 1:29:07
  freaks and I mean several Jpads movies, yeah.
• 1:29:11
  So we couldn't have done that without you guys.
• 1:29:13
  So yeah, so definitely send us your suggestions.
• 1:29:17
  We do read them, even if we can't immediately implement
• 1:29:19
  them, or if we don't implement them for any type of reason.
• 1:29:23
  It's not. Yeah.
• 1:29:24
  So just yeah, we really like getting those suggestions.
• 1:29:29
  Also it's come to my attention, I know on our coverage of the
• 1:29:33
  second unfriended dark web that I talked about Talia's bye bye
• 1:29:37
  list and somebody let me know that they couldn't search that
• 1:29:40
  on Spotify. And I think that's probably cuz
• 1:29:42
  it's tied to my personal Spotify stuff.
• 1:29:45
  I don't know how to make it public.
• 1:29:47
  I'm gonna try and figure it out, but if you want the link to it I
• 1:29:50
  will send you the link directly. Just just bye.
• 1:29:52
  Bye songs. Yeah, just shoot me a message
• 1:29:55
  and one of us can get. We both control the playlist, so
• 1:29:58
  one of us will give you the link.
• 1:30:00
  Bunch of jams of songs our dog probably plays when we leave the
• 1:30:03
  house. When we leave the house or that
• 1:30:04
  makes her think of us. Or that also just involves dogs
• 1:30:07
  barking, which there's a lot of those actually some good jams in
• 1:30:11
  there. All right.

• 1:31:20
  And they were like, what is this fucking movie?
• 1:31:22
