The movie
Show notes
This week, we review the 1987 sci-fi action flick, "Predator." - Why did Dave T. pick this? Sadly, Dave T. passed away before our review (listen to episode #095 for details), but we honor him by still reviewing his pick. - How many co-stars of "Predator" ran for public office, and how many of those were actually elected? - Which co-host loved this movie? - Did any co-hosts find the movie formulaic? - One co-host compared this movie to the original "Alien" movie. Did he feel "Predator" was better or worse? - Which co-host liked that this movie felt like a classic war movie at first? - Which co-host(s) cited the creature design as being a strength in the movie? - Which co-host compared this movie's handling of characters to "Battle: Los Angeles"? - Which co-host(s) appreciated the intelligence of some of the characters? But, were characters smart enough...often enough...and consistently enough? - Which co-host said he could feel the testosterone in his face? (Gross.) - What did Dave S.'s wife think of this movie? (Note: No big surprise, but this movie was not deemed kid-friendly.) - Which co-host felt one special effect was so bad that it made him laugh? - Did the Predator have too many technological advantages to still claim some sense of honor or victory from the "hunt"? - Were any co-hosts okay with the vulgar jokes told by Shane Black's character? - Which one of Dutch's defensive techniques has been scientifically disproven by several TV, YouTube, and publication sources? - Which cheesy visual technique in the movie was compared to the TV show "The A-Team"? - Which co-host thought Dutch was actually killed in the final explosion (he did watch this movie, didn't he)? - What is "Presidor"? - And, what did we all think Dave T. would have given as his rating for this movie, since it was his pick?
