Final Thoughts and Rankings

This is Free with adds, the podcast that asked the question, why pay Netflix nine bucks a month to watch Arnold in some prestige TV series when you could go online for free and watch him how he was meant to be seen shirtless, sweatier than anyone has ever been, and yelling more catchphrases than Austin Powers at a Borat contest. I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. todayoday's movie is Predator, the nineteen eighty seven action sci fi classic that gave us such classic lines as get to the chopper and that alien would be hot if he just left a mask on With us today, filling in for the super prodducer, Matt Lb is a man we call the sexual Tyrannosaurus, Daniel Spear. Hi Dan. Hey He Mac and in Post. Metal atit and post. I don't wna Matt, we love you. Get well soon or have a good comedy show. whatever the reason is that you're not here You're not here to tell me, Matt if I did a good Arnold impression, which I think I nailed it. It was It was very good. It was Thank you. Yeah, D Dana Carvey level, I would say Oh, thank you. Well before we talk about Predator, which is as of this recording, streaming free with ads, we're going to talk about something else we saw for free on the internet this week. free stuff. Okay, so this I was reminded of an old favorite recently. I went to the movies and saw a trailer for The sequel to free with Ads movie. practical magic. I saw the trailer for practical magic Emily, have you seen this trailer yet I have. I have seen the trailer. What did you think Well, I think there's been a lot of articles kind of talking about how moovies look a little sterile like it looks like hospital lighting in movies nowadays. A bit a little bit. As opposed to the nineties when which practical magic looked so rich and gorgeous. This movie looks a little bit Hospital But of course I'm gonna to go see it. I mean, I wouldn't miss it. So I'm excited, but I'm a little hesitant The thing I noticed about the trailer was that they did that thing that trailers all basically have to do these days, which is have the slowed down version of the pop song Yeah. This one, this really made me laugh. They did a slowed down version of you put the lime in the coconut You put the lime in the cocon lud and drink ' em both up Wh? They Tom Waes it. They just did a Tom Waits. They put a shitty Waed it and U And either that or a children's choir sing again, right Yeah, that's another option you can do And I think that I think that this has been going on in movies for a long time. but I think it's been going on even longer with video game trailers. I think that this started in video game trailers because they do it more than movies. I think maybe the first one I remember was this game Gears of War that did a slowed down version of Mad World And I I think I think if we're pinpointing it, that that kicked off the trend and that's why Every fucking trailer needs to do this. I think the whatever the social network did that creep like slow down That's the one I remember. And they can movies they can be cool. They can be like effective. Yeah Anyway, so this the lime in the coconut really, really, really tickled me. and it reminded me of maybe my favorite ever slowed down version of a song. This is is done this is done tongue in cheek But this is a video game called Strath that I have never played. And this is what they did for their trailer. I think this is I think this is ten years old at this point, but I it got me at the time stillill gets me now. D you play the trailer for Straf. Howatdty's still straight So when you get? No way. No Oh my God I'm watching the video as well, which is brutal. That is of course. you'll feel free to fake that out. That is of course Smash Mouth's All star and yeah at what year was this made? I think this game is twenty sixteen. and yeah, it's a very like Do it look like it? Yeah, it's a very retro looking video game. I think it's supposed to look like it was made in, you know nineteen ninety nine or whatever, and it's all these little goblins decapitating people to the slowed down strains of smmash mouths st. I want to play the game now. We're going to have to put we got to show people. If you got to go in YouTube, just go check it out because that video, there's like half of ahead. Yeah. I think that they I think that, you know, like obviously they're kind of messing around with copyright stuff and it's already a little bit shady as it is. They should have decapitated Shrek there. I think really. really missed an opportunity by not decapitating You know something weird, Jordan. That's so interesting. you brought this up. This is something I've pitched to a certain show you and I are on, but I don't know if they're ever going use it. There's I looked up really weird video games like and it was going to be like a real or fake. There's this video game called Shrek Hotel Okay. Iven heard of Shrek Hotel. Sounds sexy No, it's like You're staying in a spooky hotel that I guess Shrek owns and Shrek is scary. Have you seen those like clips where it's like Michael Jackson, like a scary Michael Jackson is like terrifying people while they're playing a video game in a hot. you'll love those clips. But yeah, there's a spooky Shrek game called like Shrek Hotel that you should definitely watch videos of it. It's so weird. Now I'm like, yeah, you could probably decapitate him in that game. And I think that's when you need a spooky version of All Star Yes that is the one or the there's other things and I saw her face. Yeah I'm a believer. I'm a believer. I cut off your face Well, yeah, this is a beautiful segue from cutting off Shrek's head to And alien character who cuts off a lot of heads. I can't believe it. We're going to talk about Predator Ver excited about this. But yes, before we talk about Predator, we should let you know that this movie features suicide and self harm. So if that's not something you want to hear us talk about, we're gonna play some music and give you a chance to find another episode. Hey, we're back. It's free with ads. We are going to talk about Rreditor nineteen eighty seven, a quick check in if I'm remembering the free withith Ads lore correctly, Emily. When we watched Alien versus Predator, you told us that was the only movie from either of those franchises you've ever seen Correct Is that still the case? Is this the second movie from these franchises that you've seen Yeah. Okay, so like since then you hadn't watched alien or aliens or anything else. I mean, I've definitely they've been on in rooms I've been in and they are so scary that I like go Nope No, thanks. Okay. And there's I I did watch A lot of the alien movie with Wynona Ryer in it where alen direction. Yeah, where she throws the basketball backwards. I think that one I've watched bit of but I don't think it was enough to say I actually watched the movie. So That is funny that the two you've seen are alien versus Predator and alien resurrection. But yeah, I was I'm really glad about the order of which I'm doing this because I was watching it and thinking about the lore of alien versus Predator, which we have understood is not canon necessarily for the whole all the franchises, but there are a few things I can't wait to talk about because I can't quite remember if I'm right or not. So we're gonna to talk about the lore of Alien versus Predator versus the original Predator. And I want to talk about that later. Okay, cannot wait. cannot wait. Yes, very excited to talk about this. Yeah, let's kick it off. We open with a shot of a spaceship flying towards Earth something comes off that spaceship and and plummets and plummets And this is the only space shhip we're gonna see for like an hour. Yes. Perfect time to go We. I wish I could have seen the ship a little better. I was like, because I'm always fascinated about spaceship design. Yeah, especially we just saw Event Horizon last week and I was like these were kind of unremarkable like designs for like a spaceship. But I think like Star Trek is I couldn't and the millennium Falcon, like I want to see the spaceship design and you couldn't it was like a like blank and you miss it spaceship Yeah, I think this movie it's amazing how like light this movie is on explaining anything. like Oh yeah and that's kind of part of why I love it. Like obviously we've gotten so many sequels and books and comics that have kind of explained the lore. But this movie doesn't tell you shit. and that's kind of part of, I don't know, I like that. I like and I think that's part of why itures people like it does because you fill in all those gaps. So yeah, so we we see that little bit of space stuff and then we go to the hot South American jungle icopters they're landing and out of these helicopters are getting streams of tough guys. Yeah, tough guys of every race are jumping out of these helicopters. I was thinking about this earlier that how like helicopters are so fucking loud. How is that like a good I know that that's how you like are able to drop people. You can't just drop people out of a jet, you know? Yeah. But I'm like, okay Why can't Like we figure out a Is there a silent helicopter nowadays? like AI, figure that out. Like figure out a silent helicopter. Quieter helicopters. Yeah. I know I mean, there're like doing dration issue in L.A Helicopters Chasing my God, that's for sure. Especially in my neighborhood because shit goes down in my neighborhood and that's for damn So we got these we got we got we got men a plenty hopping out of these helicopters. Now there's one needle drop in this movie. It's maybe one of my favorite needle drops in the history of movies I really wouldn't mind if at this point in the movie, when all the dudes are filing out of the helicopter they played it's R in men I feel like I would be okay with that. If someone wants to do a fan edit of that and put it on YouTube. I would enjoy that. But yeah, we just got we got we got m men men by the bucket full pouring out of these helicopters and one of them Arnold Schwarzenegger puffing on a fucking cigar with a little Bit of stubble And we like him with a little bit of stubble because it was M what was the movie that we saw him with where he had to like into a sports thing and fight people. Running man Thank you. I can't believe you say what I were talking about. Yeah, these two movies came out the same year and yeah, like Aro has a little bit of stubble in both of them. and I think he looks fucking. It Well, I mean, it is gonna be a tough hunk watch this movie. I God, my God is crazy. how hot. I mean, Jesse I watched a documentary about that came out in two thousand about this movie and they interviewed like, you know, the original cast and the filmmakers And boy, Jesse Ventura is insufferable now as he was then. but he is a very interesting interview. I guess he was in the Marine Corps Yeah. So he was like taking this very seriously, but his character is the most unsavory of characters. Y he sure is Yes. F F to see him get a giant hole bloed into him It is. So yeah, Arnna Arnold's there. he's playing Dutch. He's fucking looking great with the little bit of stubble and they're calling him and his his team of dudes in for a mission there's a cabinet min minister that got lost in the jungle. supposedly, this is what they're telling us And who is the who is the CIA contact there, but Carl Weathers playing Dylan He yees. the greatest the greatest fucking greetings in the history of movies. Dylan, you son of a bitch And then they Oh, the meme. I didn't know about this meme until I watched it. and I went, that's what this is from Yes, so one of the great and enduring memes is when when Arnold and Carl Weather see each other, two men with a lot of history They they do a bro shake and then try and like out squeeze each other. They're like just flexing to see who's going to give up first. And obvious and so that is the meme of the two buff hands you see and it'll be like For instance, it'll be like one of the hands will say free with ads and then one of the hands will say Fute teachers and then in the middle they'll say talking about fingering I mean could this count as a fingering story? Fering story. I think you could. Yes, these two men. No w no. This is a fisting story. Oh. Matt Stinges here. I don't want I don't know if this is going to work.'m gonna I'm gonna propose something. I am gonna put free with ads handandshake meme on Reddit R slash maximum fun Free with ads meme contest. use the use the predator handshake. makeake your best Free with adds meme. We're going declare a winner on a future episode. So go to R slash maximum fun entnter your meme I love that, Jordan. That's such a sweet thing to do for them. Let's see. I don't know. Let's see. will people do it? I don't know But you know, I think the reason why it's so iconic is like just that one image sums up their passast with each other. Right. Like There is this competitive nature between them and this like oh distrust. You immediately go He likes him, but then he goes o, you've been You haven't been working out as much. You've been a pencil pusher with the CIA. and you're like, o, this guy's not to be trusted all within like a single like hand grab. It's so cool. And and I think right because this movie doesn't give you a lot of backstory, but everything they do is fucking rich. And I think talk anyway. No they just they just they just call each other sons of bitches and squeeze till one of them gives up. Yeah. And I think this this is something we talked about when we talked about Roadhouse when Patrick Swze and Sam Elliot meet for the first time on camera There is a very a very potent and very possible you know, like storyline of maybe these guys were romantically involved, like It's there, there's like tons of baggage. Anyway. and as we will learn later, these guys are too romantic and sexual can be two totally different things. It's true. It's true. If you were not chanting kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss during this movie. have no pulse. You have no pulse. Which I was there's so many dudes in this movie, but aren't there two governors in this movie There are, yes. bothoth Arnold and Jesse Ventura have been governors. I think at the time Jesse E Ture became governor, Carl Weathers did a thing on SNL where he's like, elect me as governor because I was in Predator. Honestly, that would have slapped like. I'll vote for him. I don't care what weird views he has. I mean, at this point, whatever. So yeah, so it's it's it's this it's this tough talkking hard sweatin strike team going after this this lost, you know, dignitary or whatever. Well the thing that Well, there's something that should be said and like this is why I love this ensemble cast so much. is because he you shouldn't trust Mrter Weathers because CIA, blah blah. But this crew like Arnold's crew is these guys who they always work together. They're like a perfect team of like operatives or I don't even know what they come from. They were soldiers, whatever, but they do jobs together as a unit. And he's like, I don't put my guys in situations that are like manipulative covert like political bullshit. And Carl Weathers has assured him that this is just to get these two hostages. It's like It's all in the up and up, right? So these dudes like know each other. You could see the teamwork when they go into the jungle together. It was so cool to watch them like work together. I don't know anything about military stuff. I barely know anything about men And I feel like I learned something about male friendships and male like communication through this movie that I've never seen in a movie before. And but so it's important that you know these dudes are fucking ones Right and and they look out for each other and it's and they put each other first. That's an an important And they're the best of the fucking They're best. They're the fucking best. Yeah, so you kind of they get on a helicopter, you're kind of introduced to everybody. Shane Black is there. Shane Black, very good writer director who directed I'll be diplomatic here. No one's favorite Predator sequel. a Predator sequel. I don't think I would say is their favorite. Do you know why he's in this I don't other than No, tell me, please. So he didn't write the movie, but he was a writer and they needed someone on site in case things needed to be rewritten on site. Oh wow So they decided to hire him as an actor and then he's because they filmed this It's literally like in this documentary, which I highly suggest, I'll ask Matt to put it in the show notes Um, They're literally like the camera is on a hill. Almost everything that they shoot is on a slant. Like all the guys are just uphill or' coming downhill. likeike it's mostly there's no flat ground for the most part, shooting this movie And u Yeah, it's pretty fucking crazy. So they and they're in the jungle. So this guy needed to be there on site to be like this isn't going to work This camera is falling off of a ledge and they couldn't change anything about the trees and stuff because it's preserved. You can't be chopping down trees in this area And it's protected. so you can't go in there chopping down trees. So it's like fuck, we gott to go shoot this somewhere else because it looks, you, figure out new ways to do it. So that's why he's in the movie That's wild. So yeah, Saine Black wrote Lethal Weapon and the L action hero Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a good movie. Oh my God. Really? Yeah. Iron Man Th wrote and directed it. And yes, and then he wrote twenty eighteen's The Predator, which maybe Maybe not. isten I studio interference is why that wasn't good. Come on, you gota. Maybe we'll get to it. Maybe we'll get to it. and we will. We'll get to everything before we die. Everything that has Predator in it, we will probably We'll be in our death beds like in some hospital going, Predator Three D? Sure. U ye, Predator meatetss frozen. Disney owns it all by the way, they do and here's my pitch. I've made this on other podcasts. put Predator in Disneyland. He's a Disney princess. He can be stalking around Disneyland. You can have a ship full of skulls of other Disney characters that he has killed Anw. Well, honestly no one would be mad about that. No everyone would like that. Also he is a princess as as a pillow princess myself. This the predator basasically just has all the gadgets. I'm not that impressed with the Predator personally. I think the Predator is a cheater. I think the predator is does not deserve the right to kill the people that he killed because he couldn't survive his own bullshit. I'm not a fan of Predator. I think Predator is a weak Little boy Hars harsh words for a famous hate the Predator. I think he's an asshole. Predator. Okay. Well, you know what? I think it's good that he killed everyone there. We're the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers of this movie. we have different different viewpoints as to whether or not the Predator should have killed everyone. Anyway, so Shane Black is there very interesting about him rewriting stuff on set. That's a very cool factoid. He his character is making big vagina jokes this whole time. He and we got who else do we got? We got Jesse Ventura. He's, you know, he's chewing he's chewing tobacco. He's saying an F slur you know, that's not great. Wh in the in the doc they talked about how He's a great guy. He was good for like, you know, authenticity about military stuff, but it took a lot of work to get him to seem like a real person. Did they succeed? I think they did upp to I think they did. I think that they well, the person who really that carries this whole movie is Bill Duke. Lill Du. Bill Duke is Probably like this movie, I haven't seen a lot of his work, but I'm like, I need to see everything he's ever been in now. Because if it weren't for him, everyone would just be insane. Like everyone would seem nuts He grounds the whole thing and him and Jesse Ventura's character have like kind of a bond with each other, which is really cute. They like he shares his flask with them and stuff and I'm like, I'm glad they paired them together Be you have the biggest asshole and this really sweet guy who is constantly shaving despite having no hair on his face. Well, it's clearly like a nervous tick because his character is the most interesting. like you learn so much about them because of little details like that. He he's got a He's got a moral code that you kind of just see the wheels turning and stuff in his head. His performance is Truly Oscar worthy. I can't believe how good that performed. He's great. And he's the guy who like goes a little crazy at the end too. So he has to play that like I'm losing it. And yeah, Bill Bill Du is a great fucking legendary guy. got his star Hollywood Walk of Fame this year. Oh he does alsoso directed a DMX video Oh I know. What a life What a life on this dude He apparently brought the shaving tick to the movie. Like that was his d. I believe that According to MMB Trivia, which I saw clim to be trivia never wrong And we also get we also get Richard Chavez plays Poncho. this this I okay, I have a I have a story about That's amaze. I wanted to bring this down. it's upstairs. I have a I have a signed headshot of this guy because When I did an event for Predator Bloodshed, the new Marvel Comics series written by me in stores now He showed up and brought headshots for everybody He fucking sat at the comic book store and talked to everyone who came in and like told his story. He's a veteran. like I think a lot of these guys are veterans. talks about it, yeah. Yeah. And he and they like, I think, discovered him doing a play with other veterans and like said we want, you know, we want you to bring some authenticity. He's such a sweet guy. I think he just has a Google alert for Predator and shows up at stuff and it's like It fucking made my life. This guy is so cool and he's so great in this movie. I really really love Richard Chavez, great dude. What day you gott toa teach me what Google alerts mean Do I mean I think if you just like, if you wanted just s everything, everyvery time someone mentioned Emily Fleming Onl you could set up a Google alert for yourself. And it would be really healthy to do that. Yeah. Yes and good and you would not go insane But here's what I'm worried about. C people see if I Google them I don't think so. I don't know hope I don't know. I mean, if they have your passwords, your email, yeah Oh shit. Yeah, no, I just wonder sometimes because like when I'm Googling certain people that I know sometimes that I'm like, oh, did they do something bad recently? I don't know. shouldhould I unfriend them? It's like to check just good to check every couple of months. It is. But then they'll like message me pretty quickly after and I'll go, h They could see that I was looking up. Oh they were back noble So I hope that's not true Anyway, go ahead. And and also I should we should shout out, we should shout out Billy. We should shout out Billy who's just a big a big quiet dude with a giant knife who can track everybody. fucking Billy Rules He rules Anway just a But speaking of problematic people, don't look into his past. Okay Okay. I won't. Good to know. Thank you. Great character, great character.acter, perhaps G performance. was not That's it. Thank you, Emily for No problem. In for the The pilot of the helicopter is actually the Predator H move on. hold on. Yes Aording according to I. Well, no, no Oh see you actter who played him No, he's who picks them up, I think when they picks Arnold up because he u He's like a he's like super tall. He's like over seven feet tall because I guess there iss like a legend that maybe our boy from Time cop This is no legend Emily. This is very true. It couple of weeks on set, John Claude Van Dam played the Predator in a totally different suit and he was such an asshole that they fired him. Yeah and and I don't know if that coincided with them redesigning the Predator, but the suit they had him in lookooks really bad. It's like this b face. It's like this praying anantis kind of thing. And it's like there's no way we're wring about this movie now if that's if that's the predator Totally. And it was so the actor who they ired they they alsoso redesigned the suit because it looks so stupid with the other one. And also you barely get to see and I love that about Predator that you like the reveal of this villain It's such a slow burn and then when he takes that helmet off, you're like what the fuck Yeah And it has to be it has to be good if you're going to wait that long. So they hired the guy who did a terminator stuff. So he's here Stanst Stan Winston at the Yeah. so this This actor is like huge. They wanted him to be like taller than Arnold so that he was like just who can make Arnold Swarzenegger look littleittle, you know But um But and he was in that hot suit all the time and they were like, this poor miserable guy in this hot prosthetic suit in the jungle. Let's give him something and let him be on stage. Also, he is gorgeous. Like the actual guy in the suit? Yeah. I've never seen the guy in the suit. Stunningly handsome and his voice is sexy and I'm like I need to look up if he's been in anything else. It's a crime that he's not the biggest movie star in the world. like honestly. But he's gigantic. I was watching the documentary There's a couple documentaries for Predator on YouTube that you can watch and he's also in he's in Harry in the Hendersons as That's what they were saying. He just in Harry in the Henderson, which Jordan Put that on the list, one hundred percent like for us to watch because that movie scared the fucking d daylight.ince John Lif Cow tells him he has to go away and that he doesn't love him and that's but he's doing it because he loves him But no the Scared me as a kid. I like had to get He scared me so much that my dad had to put me in the car outside of the house where we were sing We were like with family friends and I was screaming bloody murder because of this movie and couldn't calm down. So he put me in the car outside and closed the door and was like, he just watched me in the car and like went she was just gonna s and they were like, didid he crack a window? I'm like it was winter, it's fine Yeah But like I'll never forget it. She's in the car crying about Bigfoot. I know But that's so crazy that he did that movie and we should definitely watch that movie. But this guy's amazing. Like I mean, he's a heartthrob. I don't know. He died really young. He passed away at thirteen. No, he passed away. Yeah. And ninety one, he passed away, yeah. Emily, great news. Harry of the Hendersons. Currently on Tubbe Um Good Anyway So our boys, they get out of the helicopter. Oh and then the needle drop here is longong tall Sally. They do Long tall Sally It's one of my favorite needle drops in all of movies. I fucking love it. Wow. ye they need listen. yes. do they need to add itss Rin in men to the beginning? Yes, but going have one. I just love it when it kicks in here. So yeah, so they're in a helicopter. They go to a very generic bad guy village, a real generic eighties bad guy village They just fucking blow the shit out of everybody J waste everybody. And yeah, like Emily said, they're just like operating as a team. Everybody's like having each other's backs. Everybody's got a specialty. It's really like satisfying to watch. suuper brutal to like Oh my God This movie is so like It's like it starts the first quarter of the movie is crazy violent. And I was like, how are we gonna elevate past this. I don't know how they're going to do it. And they do. They find ways. And yes, Arnold throws a knife at a guy And we get Stick around stick around. Oh my God. he got stick around and then There was somebody else who said something. it's dug in like an Alabama tick. Yo, yeah. There's so many good lines in this st. I was like, o my God, we need more southern sayings like that. Yeah So yeah, so they're fucking shit up. They find there's there's there's one, there's a single woman in the village, a single woman in the movie. This is Anna and I believe she is wearing a bucket hat. I'm going to go ahead and call it the worst hat. The worst hat And you know why it's the worst hat because it doesn't say the worst hat on it. And you know where you can get a bucket hat that says the worst hat on it maxfundstore. com Gotten a plug, Get yourself some merch. Okay.es. Thank you. Thankk you So yeah, so they kind of take her hostage and she like has some information about the predator that she'll kind of like drop later when she's not totally catatonic But we learn that this cabinet minister totally fake. They were there to do some CIA shit. for Carl Weathers who who just like had this whole had was a lie. everythingvery was a set up. Yeah. They just needed these guys to go in. The hostages are dead dead. like Yeah, they're very dead. They're dead dead. And then they just blow up this entire operation that's down there, which we don't even know what the hell's going on. But there's something about Russians in there. Yeah Russians at some point happen Yeah, it's Rus. It's the eighties. the Russians have to be at least lurking in the jungle somewhere But it's the Russians in league with South America in some way. And I'm like, who cares? I don't need to know our Broad South America. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty broad. But yeah,'s but also One detailed that One of the biggest scares that fucked me up at the beginning. I was like, there's not a lot of movies because I love horror and sci fi that really disturbed me right before they to the the destination where they're going to try to save the hostages They' already ramped up their adrenaline because they saw a bunch of men hanging upside down skinned. Right. Yes. Ver like Who the fuck would do this? And so they're like, oh, it's time to die. So they're like going to this place, not asking questions, assuming that all the people at who are holding these people hostage That's what they do to people. So It's, you know, you assume that that's what war is And then well, I'm sure that, you know, whatever. But this is like, it's something else. it's something else Yeah, and so yeah, so you have you have a bunch of fucked up shit going on. It has this has a line that I think is up there with pain donon't hurt. Somebody tells Jesse Ventura, you're bleeding and he says, I ain' got time to bleed. And then Richard Chavez just goes, Oh, okay. Well I thought I got something I was like H I have time to bleed because time makes me bleed. I don't have a choice in the matter. like Is it that fun? I hate time Time's the worst Time, T timee, time the ultimate monster, they say. My body is stuck to the moon. U So so yeah, so they learned that this whole thing was like a CIA like a CIA operative that they were tricked in a CIA op that they were they were tricked into doing Um This is when kind of Carl Weathers and Arnold Schwarzene are get in each other's faces and they have the like verbal version of them trying to flex each other out. This is them kind of presenting two worldviews. Carl Weathers is fuck do anything you can to get ahead. No one else matters. The world is fucked up and Arnold is like, no , you know, it's It's us, we have to stick together. We're here for each other. you know,'s, you know it's people that matter. So it's just very like they have two opposing philosophies and they're just trying to like flex each other out. I fucking love that. And it's like ye, it's like and then the movie just like is action basically till the end. But I think you have interesting moment of like two dudes likeike who view the world very differently like butting heads. It's really cool. Andoy Bill Duke like shows Carl Weers character how he feels about him Yes with a scorpion. like so there's this so you're like, do they all know what just happened? Right. Well, Bill Duke knows and so he tells him to turn around and pulls a knife up and you're like, oh my God, he's just gonna kill mister Weather is here Yeah. and instead he stabs this scorpion and you're like, cool. Yeah I love But it still let him know. it still let him know I know who the fuck you are Motherfuck And it was But also I'm looking out for you. It's like I you're not you're not looking out for me, but I'm going to be the bigger man. I'm going to look out for you because that's my philosophy. likeike that'sact you. It's really if I wanted to, I could fuck you could have like Yeahah, I could have not only stabbed you, but I could have just let the scorpion kill you Yes. Ooh, I didn't use that way Wh ask Yeah, when he squashed the The scorpion underneath his boot, I immediately went, Ooh, who's the predator? No? Look say Yes. I don't know. Is the alien Yeah, yeah. bigig questions, big questions Yeah asked in this film So they' so they're trapped, but also like what's been killing people Um So when Anne is trying to run away, Shane Black goes after her and he's like he's like attacking her and trying to like get her tied up again. And that's when our boy cloaked a cl the cloaked invisible predator kind of comes out of the jungle kills the first dude, takes him away And then Jessse Eventura gets blowowned away. Jessse Eventura cool MTV tank top. That was probably a very saw P veryy cool reference to the a time or was it like a bag? I couldn't remember, but I I believe it was a tank top. I could be wrong I wonder if MTV had like a tie in kind of promotional thing because even one of our favorite movies, Godzilla nineteen ninety nine Um, MTV had a very like u, you know Like succubus like relationship with that production. So I'm like, oh, I wonder if MTV was really engaged with Predator stuff and promotent. I don't know. I know you would think there would be there I mean again, not much music in this movie, but yeah, maybe there's a music video or something with, you know Guns and Roses or something. Yeah, Brian Adams has to have a ballot on this sound. Probably Brian Adams. He's just always got one. He's got one in the pocket all the time.ot it Brian Adams the gu guys got a salad for everything. Classic So Jesse Ventura, he gets blown away by the predators like plasma gun. It cauterizes the wounds and then So they and they kind of get the information from Anna, The jungle took him. That's what she keeps saying in Spanish. The jungle took him And so they think there's somebody out there. And so the remaining dudes just line up and in a hilariously long scene just fire every gun they have into the jungle It's so long. It's It's like a it's like a, you know, family guy joke that goes on too long. They did Nick him. They did they didn'tick him. Yeah, they only nick the guy And they got a little bit of glowing blood splattered on some things, which nobody seemed to notice except for our girl who like smeared it on herself so she could like, I guess go, oh, that's interesting. I don't know why she did it, but I wish you have a fashion shred that. Blood made out of KY jelly and the inside of a glow stick. I believe that. I believe that one hundred percent. They were like very Srappy. This production is scrappy as fuck and I did when I was watching it, it was just like there was somebody saying If they taught you this in acting school, there'd be a lot more people quitting Like like being an actor. And I'm like, o hell yeah, I mean, I don't know. L but no, I mean, I think this was supposed to be just like a like a quick low budget movie that Cana came and went, but it's just like because of how fucking good it is. it just became this thing that we're still making sequels to. you know, it's yeah Yeah all of it Practical effects by the Well, there is some digital effects because of the Predator. I guess we can kind of I'll put this detail in because we're gonna to get to it. But the Predator has this invisibility kind of trick to it, which is why I think the predator is princess and is a little rich debutant. I don't think that the Predator is a warrior in any way. I think the predator is cheating the entire time and sucks ass. And if he had to like Fight to the death with these dudes without a weapon, him versus all of them. Oh, dead, dead a hundred times Yeah, invisibility cloak hangs out in the trees again. Princess. But yeah, so you'll see like a little warp. kind of liquid vibe of like, oh, it's like It's like he does it's like he's a ghost almost. So that's like the most, I think Digital effects they do. Ething is on location. likeike there aren't green screens.'s It is truly Amazing movie. This is amazing movie making. I think this movie is so fucking cool A I could never. I could never fucking never. And I love I love how the Predator' a guy in a suit and like Predator is still a guy in a suit. like the Predator Badlands that came out last year, which fucking rules' really good to see all of these Re, really good They have digital stuff for like his face, but it's still a fucking guy in a suit. And I think I've seen him in some behind the scenes stuff Pretty hot. so they always find a hot guy. I mean, the only big tall, weird guy in a suit who's not totally hot is Peter Mahheew, but I do have his autograph. Chewacca I have chebacas autograb ave you told this story? Have you told the story of how you got Chewbakca's autograph? Oh, okay, I'll tell the story. Maybe he is hot, but I was twelve when I got the autograph, so I probably thought, oh jeez seven foot three guy I don't like that and he's old. but maybe now I'd look back and go hello. Okay I was, I think eleven. that was when the Star Wars new hope to Return of the Jedi were re released in theaters. Oh yeah in preparation for the prequels. Right. And my dad and all the dads on my block where I grew up on the street. They love Star Wars So me and a couple of friends to the Rivergate Mall in Nashville, Tennessee which RIP to the Rivergate Mall, they had a comic shop and there was going to be a signing with the guy who was in the Boba Fet astan. Oh, cool He was a British guy and he was very cranky and funny and I loved him. And then the gentleman in the R two D two suit who was, you know, moving that thing around. and then Peter Mayheew. And when he walked in, we were in line forever, but I didn't care. We were having so much fun. There was a lady in a Xena Warrior princess costume for some reason. I was like, that doesn't fit. what are we doing? I mean, it fit her great, but it didn't fit into the context of what we were doing. But U when he walked in, when Peter Mayhey walked in, my dad like grabbed me and went, look, look, look because he had to duck down to get into the doorway. It was wow. so awesome. And he was like, they, I still have the book, it's a character book of all the characters of Star Wars And it's all the characters of Star Wars from the books so far and the movies. Cool So far. So there's like, I'll have to bring that sometime. But those were such fun pieces of Star Wars merch just the Encyclopedias. like I. That like helped kids get obsessed with it is like, oh, you can read about like how the metal that the ship is made of and how the Sarlacrows underground to feed it I tell you this that there was a set of twins that were Han Solo and Princess Leia's kids in that character book Oh yeah And so I immediately, when I saw the movie, I went, oh, These two are siblings and they are the children of Han Solo, like Kylo Ren and er f fact. And but I guess that's not how it worked out. Anyway And I think that is extended universe stuff that has now been retcons. Yeah, yeah. Well I think it could have been better from the little bullshit book I had. Anyway, so my dad went Emily, you just became very popular on the internet. Emily, if you want to come out against the Star Wars sequels, that would really help our numbers. Would it? Beuse I don't care, but likeipang on I love the sequels. That's the thing. I love the sequels. I just love my I love my childhood experience. us out fuck. Here we go. Here's the thing, I love everything and I think everyone is good. You E Thank you. Thank everyone whate But anyway whatever Star Wars movie, you like best audience the one we like best Um But yeah, so my dad went, you could get one of their autographs and you know, so we're in the line. I'm like, off course it's gonna be Ch Baca. Are you fucking kidding? Like after seeing him walk into the room like that, I was like, Jesus, I've never seen anyone that tall. But yeah, so it was a really cool like father daughter moment for sure But then we saw all of those movies together in theaters, like the prequels and the rerelease of everything. So yeah, that's the tallest motherfucker I've ever seen in person. Let me tell you what. But the guy who plays Chewubacca now. h Yeah. I've seen Ohh yeah, he's like a tall Dutch guy or something. I've seen him is Yeah. Poor Peter, poor Peter. Anyway. So yes, the Chewbacca very tall, but you know who else? very tall? That's right. The Predator And we get our first look at him. He as as Emily mentioned, they nicked him He is in the trees like healing himself up with a little like healing kit. That's when we first see him. I think it goes without saying he's the tallest guy in the movie. go here tallest guy. And yes, kind of and yeah,'s we're like an hour into the movie just kind of getting a look at the alien for the first time. Like how this movie is like an hour forty five minutes long in and I can't believe how much they did in this movie. I remember all of this happening thus far going holy fuck, how much more is going to happen? And boy. We actually we're about to get to the kind of final, final battle with the Predator And we're going to talk about that rightight after this Hey, we're back. It's free with ads. We're talking about the thrilling conclusion of Predator, nineteen eighty seven So Predator, he's fucking everybody up. Carl Weathers kind of tries to tries to kind of redeem himself and kind of go back and save everybody. course gets his arm blown off the arm which Is that the happy Gilmore reference Oh, that's a good question because he right he did get his arm choppped off by an alligator and his hand chopped off by how Alligator in happappy Gilmore. So I kind of went is this like is happappy Gilmore a callback to Predator? Might be Be F observation. Do Happy Gilmore and the Predator take place in the same universe? I don't know. There is a lot in this movie that is like just build out into the culture. It's true I mean, I didn't realize how big and important it was until watching it just now and I'm like this is one of the most important movies I've ever seen. It is it's like there's so many like, I mean, just get to the chop up. Maybe you don't realize that's where it's from, but it's this and yeah the meme and everything. and Um So no time to bleed. I don't remember that's a line that I've heard a million times too And then they say and then Arnold, you know, because they find because they find the blood Arnold says, if it bleeds, we can kill it. Yeah. Yeah. I want a shirt with that on it and then itps Oh my Godd, it should be out a pair of panties I want to put it on my panty. Please we can kill it. look I'll look at Etsy right now Kill me, Daddy, Set traps for my pussies is a pussy butter for my assussy Pussy is a cloaking device and hunts for sport Myike Pussy is heat seeking, which by the way, if If I was in the jungle and I saw all of these men, the heat seeking would be insane. Like just on my loins. It would just be like all the blood drains out of the rest of your body. Yeah It would be a beacon to the predator. You would be like,, U So in the shape of a teeny tiny dot because that's how tiny it is. little Tiny B. Jane Black would not be making big pussy jokes about yours for it's too small Um A dime, a dime of a pussy it is. Maybe one whole nickel. So so everybody's dying and Carl Weathers gets his arm blown off, but the arm still shoots the gun. What the fuck was that? I don't know. I guess when you guess's that's how that's how much of a soldier he is. He's just even shooting a gun when his arm gets choppped off Hell yeah Billy kind of does this like kamikaze mission to where he you know, stays behind, he like slashes himself with the knife and kind of goes in. We don't see Billy get killed, but we just hear scream hate that. I hate that we didn't see it because he has been this tracker the entire. He's had more instincts than any other character He's gone. There's something in the trees, there's something And he takes off all his weapons and he's like, let's go hand to hand. And we didn't get to see it. I'm so pissed about that. whatever, he was probably a pain in the ass on set. It sounds like he might have been a pain in the ass. Okay But But Bill Duke all the more reason to see him get blown away. No shit. But Bill Duke and Carl Weathers are kind of together when they both bite dust, which Bill Duke is like He's really figuring him out too because what's so sad is like all of them All right. individually figuring out the predator in different ways, like where it could have been useful to communicate to each other. R. But I thought Bill Duke was going to at least give him a little wound. at least like boy, he gets a like he's crawling through these underneath these big trees. He's like weaving his way in there and the predator just plops right down a log and sees him through it and blows his head off. And the water like the water, the blood goes onto the camera lens. Yeah. Like the camera lens gets sprayed, which I was like, ooh, fourth wall. like it was a little but also kind of c It's really cool. Yeah. and and yeah, Bill Duke always drinking from that scorpion flask. When we looked at that movie auction site that had the rhino that Ace Ventura came out of its butt. Rhino buy that flask on that. No, no, no. How I should have done it. I should have done it I mean, how much was it though? That's a good question. I forget. That was one where I'm like, maybe I'll buy the flask from Predest. Gorden. Oh my go. I missed my chance I think there's more than one. there's got to be more there's got to be more Yeahm, Anyway, so yeah, basically everybody's dead at this point except for Arnold. He kind of jumps in some water and he gets all this mud on him and realizes that the predator sees via heat. That's how he can see Emily's pussy so well ut the mud on my pussy. So it's invisible. So he's caked in mud. he realizes the predator can't see him so that he I think he says it out loud too. He says like yeahah. he can't see He can't see me like it's a very like I was like, o, oh because and he's cold he can't seen. And then he said out loud and I was like oh good. I than you for telling me Arn. 'cause there is basically no dialogue in the final like fifteen minutes of this movie. And like I'm kind of saying this is a joke, but I totally think it's real Arnold has never been better than this stretch of movie. And you know, Arnold's weak point is d fucking. He is so fucking and made here. And yes, I love maids. I can also resist maids. I can't help it. I love the way they clean. I just have to destroy my family Um So he He's s covered in mud and he's so intense and just his eyes are so big and white and he like he looks Like he's just gone insane with rage. It's like, He's great. This is like as this is the best Arnold acting ever. No, I mean, but I also think that Every fucking performance in this movie lifts each other up. Yeah. I think that he is elevated because of the actors he's with. Also please, this documentary, they talk about how competitive all these actors were, how they would go work out together in the morning and like they would all challenge each other the gym and work out constantly and Carl Weathers was like, fuck that, I'm not doing that. And he goes, I'd wait till they'd leave and then I'd go work out. So they thought that I was just jacked without doing anything. Jesse Ventura walks and he's like, all right boys, let's have a kissing challenge. Now Let's see who the best kisser is. No, Jordan, there's a story about how Arnold told the wardrobe people to measure both of their biceps and like tell Jesse Fentur his was bigger than Arnold's. And then Jesse challenged Arnold to a bicep measuring contest and Arnold knew he would do it. and then he beat him ust to like fuck with them. Like it's so cool Petty piece of shit. I love it.. They were all They were all petty pieces of shit to each other, but but they all didn't hate each other. They all Well it sounds like it was fun. It sounds like it was like Yeah, yeah, they were comp competitive, but they didn't tear each other down. It was like really cool. But yeah, the his acting in this is just E outstanding and the I am a little confused about the mud thing Yeah It would make sense to me that the mud is cold coming out the water. Once it dries on you Is it still like blocking heat? Like I guess I don't science wise. Yeah. Listeners, please in like go on Reddit and do some science stuff. I bet y'all are scientists. That's the fan base we have. And I think y'all are though. I bet y'all are. And you might like there might be some scientists out there. Yeah. I mean, think I do think I think you're right to question whether or not that would have worked. I do think are you have now thought about it more than anybody involved with them. H hereere's the thing I will say Um, because If you don't know this already listeners, I do a little show on Mythical Kitchen channel called Meals of History. We did an episode about the Oregon Trail and There's this thing where you coated apples in clay and you put them in a pit in a fire pit and it would like the apples perfectly without like, you know, things getting mushy, I guess. So maybe there is something about mud, like preserving something, but I don't know if it's going to keep the heat from Anyway Y'all go nuts. I am thinking about this too much. So Arnold sets up all these traps. I just love traps in a movie. I feel like every time someone's setting up a trap, I just sing traps to the tune of remember shots I'm just like traps, trap trap trap, trap, trap trap everybody U Also the the The compilation of him Making all the traps was like me going, yeah, they'll do anything but text you back, you know I'm sorry. I have to rig up a log to swing out of a tree. I'm just really busy right now Let me know if you get to the bar and it's fun Maybe I'll come out. I don't know I have a very early morning tomorrow I've just got a lot of family stuff going on right now. I'm just not much of a textter. Yeah exactly. I'm trying to unplug and be a little more present. Um Anyway, just Arnold Arnold fuck boy excuses. Yes, exactly. Anyway. So yeah, Arnold built a trap. doeses he build them very quickly? sureure. And Yeah in a matter of five minutes rigs up ten fucking amazing traps, but that's just how fucking good Dutch is predator comes for him. they have like a bare knuckle fight. And I think this is kind of what you're talking about, Emily, is like once the predator realizes he has no weapons in armor, the predator kind of takes off his shit and then they goare kn then they go, you know, Mo and Mo, and Arnold kills him Well, he's he, um, Well, He doesn't. The predator kills himself. Oh yeah. So I guess Arnold drops Arnold drops a big log on him and it kind of kind of crushes him and then he, you know, he he finds the predator, you know, gus Gushing green KY blood. And and there's a whole mask revealed too. a whole mask reveal face for the first time. So fucking cool and the roar that comes out of him where he goes because you did hear Arnold scream to summon the Predator to come find him. So someone told me Predator is like orted sounds of all of the men or whatever. So the laughing is actually the sound of one of the men who was laughing. Yeah, it's Billy laughing at one of Shane Black's So she probably Yeah. so maybe when he's roaring, maybe it's like an echo of Arn Oh funny. That's roaring distance U I don't know, but like I really the I liked the little details of the technology that Predator had. like you don't get a lot of details, but the ones you get, you're like cool. But yeah, so he has like a what's the thing where you're like self destruct button? He's got a self destruct button. And so he's laughing when he's under the log because it's like, I'm going to get the last laugh esssentially Yeah. But and then Arnold just sprints as fast as he can and this like wave of like atomic bomb wave of explosion happens And then yeah, so my buddy, Ryan Christian, who I've mentioned on this podcast a couple of times, who's the guy who had the biggest DVD collection who showed me all these classic movies for the first time. I think we watch Predator together for the first time. He on his arm has the Predator selfestruct sequence tattooed. It's the greatest tattoo So cool. Well, I was talking to someone about how, you know the the u The light the sh like when he's about to shoot someone, you know, usually it's one little like neon light. It's a triangle for the predator. And someone was like, ooh, that would be a cool tattoo to have. And I was like,, that's kind of Oh like the predator's hunting you. Yes. L the predator' hunting you, I put it right on my fucking pussy. I don't know No, I put a tramp stamp. That's a pretty good tramp stamp right there. I'd say. Oh no, the Predator destroyed my ass. You want know something so sad, Jordan. I got like I had to go to the Dermatolog I was so scared about this and you made me feel a little better and then I felt not good because they burned a mole off of me like in my trant stamp. Oh So maybe I should get a Predator triangle. you like There's a little should have If you have a little dot already, just add two more Hunt my ass, Daddy So yeah, that's that's kind of the end you see, you know, Anna survived and you kind of see Arnold looking just shell shocked and then flying away from this giant fucking explosion that who knows how they made it out of that. But Maybe they did. And then you have the credits where all the men are like turning into the camera and giving a little look Every movie should end like this. All movies should happen My favorite credit stle. My favorite thing is they do the credits with each like picture of each person. and then they do credits with all of their names going up anyway. Yeah. And I'm like, why We saw it, we got it. It's cool. Like what you want do But that my favorite Oh when I saw it. I couldn't believe that that was happening. There' a very there's a very funny YouTube video. I think I think this is kind of a mee of Yeah, people putting old sitcom music to the people to the guys turning ery funny. I a little works great. I am a little pissed that the actor who played The Predator didn't get to do it, but I think that would kind of take away from the scariness from the illusion. so it's probably better they didn't give it to him Um so something we kind of, I don't know if people realize it this movie or if this is like in future Predator things, but that this is an alien that Essentially like gets dropped onto other planets to hunt beings for sport Mhm I think this predator was like a dentist on other anotherch piece of shit, bought a bunch of fancy weapons. Yeah, and he's holding up a tiger. L look at me. He has have beautiful teeth, beautiful teeth. Hes But do you remember the dentist who like killed a tiger eld? Yeah, the predator is basically the Trump' sons of the galaxy. Yes. of Trump sons. This predator is the worst predator of all of them. I ha watched the other ones, but I am not impressed by him I think he fights He fights dirty like the sheriff of Nottingham, like he is He is a bajillionaire's son asshole. I don't like this predator and although I bet he looks cool And he's tall. so I guess people like that or whatever. I'm tall. I'm not interested But anyway Hey, I think that's a perfect segue into our next segment. we're gonna do the Hunk watchatch. It's Hunk watchatch As you said, Emily, I think this is one of the most difficult hunk watches of. I don't know what to do, Geordge on this changes It changes for me on every viewing. I think we've already talked about how fucking awesome Arnold looks with a little bit of stubble U so but this time Carol Weather Yeah, baby so sweaty You know, he shoots he shoots a gun even when his arm gets chopped off. Uh, yeah, he's he's, I think he's he's awesome in this and like obviously had like an awesome career, but like The fact that Arnold became the megast star and he became the like beloved character actor, I think is, you know, a little bit weird because he's so I mean, they're both great, but like he's awesome in this and I just I loved every second he was on screen. So for me, Carl Weathers. Yeah. what about you? You got to make a call. So I think you're a hundred percent right. I think Arnold is a hunk of all time and he doesn't need this win. He just doesn't No, no, no. U yet So This is so hard. I man So I'm gonna give it to Bill Duke because Dke He just had this Um Mysterious, intense masculinity where he Also like supporting these other men who were not as like powerful and as intense as he was. He was clearly the better soldier. He was like Oof, God. he's just so cool. Yeah, it's Bill Duke, baby. orr his character's name is Mac But also best performance of the whole movie. He's awesome in this Damn this guy rolles. He rolls so much. Bill Duke, you're still around. You're still alive And I'm still here too Holler at your girl. Jay spplay out near his star on the Hollywood walk of fan. Yeah. see what happens. Daniel, do you want to weigh in? I think as the as as as Matt's fill in today. Do you want do you have a hunk that you want to you want to lift up I don't, you know, he has enough, but it does need to be said again can't not give it to Arnold teen. It's the legend former politician feature at this point It's also like this movie is one of the most heterosexual movies I've ever seen. And in the eighties way of heterosexuality, it crosses all the way back into homo eroticism. Yeah because it's nothing but m. And so I think Hunk's all around, but Arnold's a standout all. Again, I do think romance and sex can be two different things. and I think this movie is a romance And Yeah, I would love a more homeotic version of this movie be Well, that's Radhouse. so go watch that Thats. They made it It's called Road House. And it's also perfect. It is. It's a perfect It's also perfect. yeah, that was that was the hunk watch. We're gonna to tell you what we thought of Predator overall when we come back Hey, it's Free with Es. We're talking about Predator. We're gonna rank it on a scale of one to ten, super loud commercials. but first, we want to let you know to go to maximumfund dot org slash join. That's how you support the show. That's how you get our bonus episodes. This month, we're trying out a kind of a new bonus episode format. We're going around the horn.

This month, Emily chose to watch A game of Thrones, a Kight of the Seven Kingdoms. That's right I call it a game of Thrones. Another big tall dude. That's my ch I guess. I don't date them, but I think they're cool.ose guys I'm the tallest guy in all my relationships. So yeah, tons of fun. We all like absolutely loved it. And yeah, Matt Lib is picking this month. So if you want to Oh want to hear what Matt picks, maximumfun dot org slash join. I don't even know what he's gonna to pick pick either We'll text him. excited see what he's gonna pick Um, Okay, so we are going to rank Predator on a scale of one to ten super loud commercials. Daniel, you want to go first? Do have a ranking for Predator? So I first watched this movie when I was a kid, the madeade for TV version Right And in the iconic scene where Oh, you mean the edited for TV. Yeah, yeah yeah, the all edited It was like the lifetime version of Predator Lifetime version with soft lightighting and they just shot it on the Mama's family set. was it was just the you know, the dad from seeventh heaven Exactly. ye. Anyway, the Predor yeah, the edited for TV version with all the blood and guts and gore cut out. And I still liked it then Um My favorite line from that version is in Predator takes off his mask. he says, Arnold says to him, you are one ugly mother Faca. In the Madef TV version, he goes, you all one ugly son of a bitch. And it's so clearly an overdove, right. I like this as an action movie. I like it I don't know if I like it as much as you guys. I'm gonna give it six out of ten. super loud commercial. All right. Okay. Emily, dying to know what you thought. This is your other than alien versus Predator, this is your first experience with the Predator franchise. Yeah, I'm dying to know what you thought Um I can't remember what the score was I gave Alien versus Predator. And I know I wanted to talk about the lore a little bit of them because in alien versus Predator, which not canon, there is this idea. say as someone who has had to pay a lot of attention to Predator Exactly Please, the expert, please. I don't think AVP isn't canon I don't think there's anything that's happened that says AVP didn't happen. Anyway. Okay. that's my. Well let me let me run this by you then. Yes Be in from my recollection AVP uh It revealed like you know, this trophy room where the predator had you know alien head R and stuff. So it suggests that the predators created the aliens to hunt And I think that is not I think they have like harnessed the aliens to hunt. And I willll say that that alien head, the first time we see it in the Predator trophy room is in Predator two Oh like. And so that's that was intended to be this inside joke that no one noticed, but everyone got so fucking horny for the idea of those things fighting. That's when the comics came along, the Dark Horse comics, you had some video games and then you had the movie. So I think the idea is that the Predator created the aliens, the Xenomorphs I think it's that that because they travel the galaxy, they found this thing that is the, you know, the perfect killer And they have been seeding planets with it so that they can come back later and have this like hunting ground. Oh I think because we all know from seeing Prometheus that the engineers created this We don't all know J. We all know we all know Eone knows it. Everyone in the whole world knowns about Prometheus I did not know what to expect with this movie. I didn't know it was an ensemble cast. I guess I thought it was like Rambo versus a predator. I didn't realize that it was going to be this like epic movie about a bunch of men who just incredible team members to each other and the characters and the collaboration between all of them. and how they shot it, where they shot it, how gorgeous this movie is. how suspenseful this movie is I think this movie is now in my top ten favorite movies of all time This is a ten for me. I love this movie. I don't think I want to watch it again soon because it was so tense.
