We Hate Movies - S16 Ep822: Predators (2010)
Episode Date: September 23, 2025“Adrian Brody is too good of an actor to be in a B-movie like this.” - Andrew On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the outrageously late sequel, Predators! This is the one where a bu...nch of strangers get dropped into a Predators’ hunting arena planet and have to survive being hunted by our beloved, be-dreadlocked alien warriors! But, why can’t we get subtitles on these guys so we can see some Predator conversations? Why does the movie lose interest in its pretty cool original premise? Why is there an 11th hour serial killer reveal? And how do you put the great Laurence Fishburne in a two-second role like this? PLUS: Coming this fall to NBC, Predator: Cheers! Predators stars Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Danny Trejo, Louis Ozawa, Mahershala Ali, and Laurence Fishburne as Ronald Noland; directed by Nimród Antal.

Hey, hey, everybody, before we get to today's episode on Predators,
just wanted to let you know.
Big reminder here, the Craventier is alive and kicking.
And on the Patreon right now, patreon.com slash we eight movies.
We have already broadcast this month's edition of WHM After Dark.
It was a ton of fun.
A lot of great questions from patrons.
We had a lot of laughs telling stories, answering the questions,
weighing in on some movies that we've seen recently, things of that nature.
A lot of fun.
You can still get it now.
You can watch the replay on Patreon.
You can also download the audio-only file, should you choose to experience it that way.
But it is indeed a video show, folks.
We do make both available, but it is a video show.
But yes, patreon.com slash we hate movies, the Craventier, alive and well.
Also, be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
Next month, we debut our new quarterly modern horror-centric video show.
It's called Scareddy Cats.
And the first episode up, we are talking about Zach Craigers Barbarian.
That's going to be a lot of fun that'll be dropping later next month as well.
Well, again, patreon.com slash we hate movies.
And finally, don't forget, snag them ticks for our 15th anniversary show.
We are going to be back at our hometown hideout the bell house in Brooklyn, New York.
On Saturday, December the 6th, we are going to be talking about Total Recall, the Arnold Schwarzenegger version.
It's going to be so much fun.
We love the bell house.
We love playing there.
It's always great to get a hometown show in.
And it is a big milestone for us, y'all, a decade and a half on the air.
And thanks to you all, no signs of stopping.
Very cool event happening this December at the Bell House.
Again, go to WHMpodcast.com for the ticketing link.
You can find it right there, ready to rock and roll to the ticketing portal for you.
All right, that's it.
Now we're going to talk about this alien film.
Well, it's not an alien film.
You know what I mean.
The Predator.
He's an alien.
Anyway, here's the episode.
Enjoy.
Have a great week.
This week on the program.
It's a Predator film that has an 11th hour serial killer.
What?
Yeah, it's Nimrod Antal's Predators.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Steven Sedak
Eric Siskas
Adrian Brody
I mean Chris Cabin
Sorry
And we hate movies
Hello everyone, welcome to Wee Hey Movies.
Thank you for tuning into the FIME program, as always.
That's right.
This week, we're covering 2010s Predators directed by Nimrod Antal.
You may remember some directorial efforts.
Control.
Good.
Good movie.
Vacancy.
Pretty good.
Armored.
This movie.
No.
Metallica through the never.
I've always wanted to see that.
It's really bad.
That's the day I wanted to see it.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was, it was also like 3D was part of the thing.
Yeah, yeah, they go back and forth.
There's a narrative.
He's like, he really wants to go to, he's the only person that really wants to go to a Metallica show.
Is that what it is?
I thought he was protesting like the World Trade Organization or something.
No.
I mean, that might be, that might be what they're developing in part two of through the never.
I think it's like he's trying to, like it's him getting to the Metallica concert or something.
And I guess he has to go through the never to get that.
I think he either gets kicked out or possibly he doesn't even get in at all.
but he is just wandering a
and a vacant city.
It's like a hellscape.
I bet his dad doesn't even understand.
Probably not.
Wait, one more though.
And then Retribution,
the Liam Neeson sitting down
in a car the whole time movie.
That was his most recent output
and that's it.
Oh, that's too bad.
Meaning to see that one.
Apparently he's done like TV,
did some Stranger Things episode.
So if you want to go through the never,
then you're going to take a left at forever.
And if you see your grandmother,
you went too far.
Sadly,
it does, you know,
with alien and alien
there was James Cameron with the dollar sign
there was no dollar sign with this one
there was no it was actually
if there was a negative way
of putting that ass like put it
upside down or something
sideways it's okay to like a movie but honestly
after watching this I was
I didn't like it when it came out and watching it now
I'm like holy shit those AVP
movies are like Oscar movies
compared to this yeah I would rather
watch this than the AVP movies I only watch this
the first time and also by the way this movie
was 40 budget was 40
it made 120.
I don't know about the marketing budget,
but at least it seems like it made money.
Is that domestic worldwide?
Wow, that's a trash worldwide.
It's not great, but it's not terrible.
But it took, what, another like eight years for that Shane Black one?
That's like 2018 or something.
That took a while to get going.
And I realized, I think I've been saying this for a while in the lead up to this episode
that, oh, I watched like 10 minutes of this movie and greened out.
No, I've never tried to watch this movie.
It's the Rocker, the Shane Black one, that I'm.
tried to watch with the little the kid and whatnot.
He accidentally calls
the Predatorship to Earth or whatever.
Speaking of calling something, I'm going to hit play
real quick. Oh, no.
Oh, oh, oh, come in suit.
Oh, no, I'm being dropped out of an airplane.
Where am I? I'm falling.
Just let it happen.
That's right. It's the return of the VHS
trailer game. And more importantly,
the return of the Jame Master myself.
It is America's favorite
game about obsolete materials.
and what Hollywood legend Bruce Dern called
I'm sure it's a game that four simpletons can play at one time
That is right, we are four simpletons
And we are going to play this game at one time
I'm so terrified this is like when Trump came back
He's out for retribution
Oh absolutely
And I've got the fucking Supreme Court in my pocket
No one can stop me now
Here comes the Jane Master stomping down the hallway
Supreme Court and Supreme Pizza
Excellent
Yeah so pretty simple
similar to how we've always done it.
Although every game now
will have a fun bonus round, so I'll
show you what that is.
You'll understand what it is.
Bonus it up. It better be fun.
And yeah, it's just basically I'm going to ask these guys
five, I'm going to give them five clues
to figure out what the trailer's for.
By the way, the VHS of the original Predator,
obviously Predator's, wasn't on VHS.
So this Predator came out in 1987, so that's what we're
talking about here.
87 you said
1887 1887
oh yeah
Abe Lincoln loved this movie
not an dude dude he was long
dead oh dude John Wilkes booth on the
predator planet
he could be like this
the Japanese guy just using a fucking pistol
against him here I'm not a monster
here I'm just normal
I'm just a normal man on this
here a planet of monsters
six separate predators
nobody thinks I've destroyed
of the country. That'd be perfect
like when he's in Harvey
mud or whatever's Shack
or Barn, you know, just abduct
him out of that. Okay, so
five clues, two
movies, 1987, here we go. The first
one. Oh, no. Okay.
And also, yeah, if you ring in for
one and you get it wrong, you're out for that
one, hold a round. You're silenced.
Game Master's
clue. Ooh, like a warm bath.
You said it wrong. This secret. Thank you.
This sequel to the surprise comedy hit
that defined a subculture
ditches one of the protagonists from the first
who smartly didn't want to be typecast
and sends our beleaguered misfits
and their antagonists on vacation
for some reason.
Mouthful there.
Sequel to a surprise comedy hit that defined a subculture.
It ditches one of the protagonists
from the first movie and sends our beleaguered misfits
and their antagonists on vacation.
On vacation.
Were some reason.
These antagonists were from the first movie as well?
So basically, everybody goes on vacation.
Everybody goes on vacation.
1980.
It's a surprise comedy hit that defined a subculture.
Now I'm going to be wrong.
Weekend at Bernie's 2.
It is not weekend at Bernie's 2.
They go on vacation.
They go to the Virgin Islands.
That's right.
I think I know what it is now.
Oh, man, this is killing me.
So, 1988.
God, I feel like it's like right on the tip of my time, but I'm going to vote to kick it.
The subculture thing's tough.
I'm like singles too.
All right.
It's a round two, Tribune trivia.
Okay.
Originally, Ted McGinley was going to reprise his role as Stan Gable for the film,
but instead, Bradley Whitford was cast as central antagonist, Roger, Andrew Juppen.
Revenge of the Nerds to Nerds in Paradise?
It is nerds in paradise.
That's what I'm...
After I said it, that's what I was thinking.
Subculture, the nerds.
Is that a subculture?
Yeah, the nerds.
Yeah, they were the nerds.
Do you think those movies defined the nerds?
If you watch the movie American Splendor, it did.
Fair enough
Got it
Okay
Then all right
So now round two
Now this is a double points
Because I've never heard of this movie
That doesn't mean that's super obscure
I never heard of it
All right
Doesn't mean it wasn't probably wasn't playing on
It was definitely playing on WPAX when I was a kid
But I just probably don't remember those commercials
But Chris owned four separate copies of it on tape
It is possible
Game Master's Clue
A John Hughes staple
Was matched with a now Oscar winning
multi-billion-dollar grossing actor
in his first leading role.
The title and trailer feel a lot grosser
in light of the writer-director's subsequent
legal troubles.
So, John Hughes' staples, someone who's been in a lot of
John Hughes movies, matched up with the now
Oscar-winning, multi-billion-dollar
grossing actor in his first
leading role. Leading being
there, he's been in movies before.
And Steve never heard of it. The title and trailer
feel a lot grosser in light of the writer
director's subsequent legal troubles.
The writer-slash director, same movie.
I'm fine kicking it.
Yeah, let's kick it.
IMDB synopsis, a little different because I, you know,
you need a little help on this one.
Sure, sure, sure.
A womanizer meets his match when he falls for a woman in debt to the mafia,
so I do want to see this movie.
Okay.
Womanizer meets his match.
John Hughes Staple.
Yeah.
Helping it out.
Okay.
We're going to kick again, I think.
James Tobac, that's the problem.
Wrote this film for Warren Beatty, who liked the story.
script and what was
Rolfing played a character driven
Chris Cabin. The pickup artist? It is
the pickup artist. You get six points for
that with Robert Downey Jr.
and Molly Ringwald first build by the way.
Actually not a bad movie. Okay.
It's a weird one. It's a weird one.
There's something to it. That was Robert
total scumbagged. Absolutely disgusting
pick. Robert Downey's first movie?
His first leading role.
Leading role.
Yes, because he was tough turf and whatever.
Back to school. And then
I think what do you call it there? Less than Zero
the same year, but he was like the whatever, the second lead there.
Yeah.
So here we go, lightning round.
Now, speaking of James Tobac, the title of this episode is Predators.
So I wanted to look at Woody Allen movies since 2010.
Oh, God, no.
Yeah. Okay.
Woody's been in the news.
He's voting Cuomo.
He's sitting down with Bill Maher.
Oh, what is?
He sure is.
Yeah, I got to vote for the grab.
Can gave him a award, correct?
Yeah, yeah, they gave him a award.
When are we getting the invite to club random?
Honestly, someone
I smoke cigars.
You go ahead and you push that.
I would love to do that.
Go ahead and ask him. I bet you he would take it.
I got openings in February, Bill.
Reach out.
Okay.
So this is the lightning round. It's
pretty, so it's Woody Allen's basically what we're going to do
here. It's going to be a spelling B kind of
format. Fuck.
Wherein
it's only Woody Allen
movies since the year, since January
1, 2010.
Okay.
Feature length,
films um from 2010 on so basically the idea is we're going to start i did a randomizer we're
going to start with eric that it's going to go to chris and then andrew you just have to name a
woody allen movies there are 11 of them since 2010 including 2010 if you do guess 2009 or
or back you're out yeah yeah so basically it's going to go around until everybody is out
i like there's there's 11 of them and i have a tiebreaker in case and basically the way it's
going to work for Philippe who scores these. Thank you, buddy, is every
time we go through, it's an extra, it's 11. So like, the first one, that's one
point on the board, two points, three points, et cetera. So everybody's just grabbing
points. But not, the person who wins, who gets it at the end, gets all the
points. Oh, I see. So if we get to all 11 and
So if Chris gets like two of them, but I get some and Eric gets on. So we go around
the horn a few times. Yes. Until whomever is left last, left last,
gets all the points. I see. I see. So yeah, it's just, it's just, it's
You're going to be out.
I will get you out.
So here we go.
It doesn't have to be in order.
Rifkin's Festival.
Rifkin's Festival is on the board.
A rainy day in New York.
Rainy Day in New York is correct.
2010, you say?
2010.
And on.
Wonderwill?
Wonderwill is on there.
Right under me.
Because he's so relevant.
You know, everybody knows what he's been up to
in the last of his 20 years.
He's made 11 movies, by the way.
In 15 years.
I can't bring myself to vote for Mom Donnie.
And you can also obviously just punt and say you're out.
Unless socialists are the same.
There's two big ones on the board, by the way.
Match point.
Match point is not there.
Sorry, buddy, Eric.
He's out.
Oh, God.
I'm even not going to get this right.
He always says that before he gets 12 right in a row.
Magic in the Moonlight.
Magic of the Moonlight is on there, yeah.
Ooh.
Blue Jasmine.
Blue Jasmine is one of the big ones.
I just got one too in my mind, but it's, you know.
Have fun, guys.
Oh, I should have been counting.
I hope Philippe is.
It doesn't matter, dude.
We know who's going to win.
Got to give you five seconds here.
That's fine.
Yeah, I don't have it.
Okay, now back to Andrew.
Do you got it?
Oh, there's one, let's see. Let's see. Oh, I got to try. Can I help him? No, you cannot. There was one that came out. It was a triptych. I believe it was all like centered in Italy. Fuck my face. It's, uh, it's right there on the tip of my tongue. There's a, there's a K-stue segment, I believe, with Jesse Eisenberg.
Sure. Alec Baldwin's in it. Yep, they're all there. Oh, man. Yeah, I definitely saw that one, too.
I mean, I think you won no matter what, because you are the last stand day.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
So that, but you don't get the one more extra point, which you could have gotten.
So there you go.
Yeah, there it is.
To Rome with love, we missed midnight in Paris.
Midnight in Paris.
Who would forget irrational man?
That's what I was trying to figure that way.
Or cafe society, I saw out a trade screening back in the day.
And then Rifkin's festival, we said,
Coop to Chance I've never even heard of.
That's the latest one.
That's one of those non-released here.
And then you will meet a tall, dark stranger was the 2010 film.
The Burlin one.
the brolin one. Wait, so what was the other one you said,
though? What was your last one? Because I thought that was the brolin one.
The magic in the moonlight?
Yeah, which one is that?
Colin Firth and Emma Stone. He's a magician, but he's a fake and like...
Oh, yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Could you make these child pornography disappear?
Abercadabra. Oh, no, I'm on a predative planet. I'm falling.
And my glazes fell off. Like, oh, magic. I still have it. It's still here.
Oh, my God. Woody. Louis C.K.
Oh, yeah. Dude, yeah, that's a pretty. Yeah, that's pretty.
predator planet, dude. You'll see all those.
Tobac running around. Weeners
running from aliens. I heard
cancel cultures over. Oh, no, it's back
at a big bad way. Well, for us, but these are
patriots. These are patriots.
Yeah, but Patriots.
Louis, why don't you take one fool
of me? Come on. Speaking of
Josh Rowland, like that was
he was apparently up for the role of
Royce. God damn it. Better movie in
Predators. Josh Boland would have
known the score of making
predators. Yeah, yeah. Because I think
this is my opening thing with this movie
is Adrian Brody's too good of an
actor for a movie like this and he doesn't
know how to
dial back the actorial duties
to be in a B-Sy-Fi movie
and he's doing like serious
like saving Private Ryan
fucking monologues and whatever and I'm like this is
not for this movie no well I mean
Adrian Brody can't be in a predator
shouldn't be in a predator movie just like Arnold
shouldn't be in a Wes Anderson movie those two things
wait a second now I'm starting to think I'll be
This is my adopted daughter, Margottenhambaum.
It's just one man's opinion, you know?
What do you mean? I'm always in the center of the frame.
I cannot fit in this tiny submersible.
Sorry, Mr. Zissu.
You'll have to get a larger submersible.
My chest will reach all the sides of the screen.
I will hold my breath for as long as it takes,
and I will hold on to the side of the submersible
and go on the adventure with you.
Wow, look at that cutwood fish.
What's so,
different about paintbrushes in India, huh?
What's the difference?
Yeah, I am the farmer going after all the cute
little animal puppies, yeah.
He could have been in Isle of Dogs,
a big schnauzer. Oh, yes,
that's pretty true. Yeah, I'd like that.
I'm sure he would do it. But, you know,
just Adrian Brody is, I think he's a really good
to great actor. He's got two fucking Oscar
Oscars. And a total
runtime of thank you speeches
totaling 37 minutes, I think.
It seems like when he wins the Oscar,
those are the good ones. Yeah. And then there's the
Other Adrian Brody movies.
We start with, I didn't remember seeing this at all.
I guess I wasn't really watching many 20th century Fox movies in 2010.
This crazy 75th anniversary logo, did you know that?
Oh, that's insane.
Towering.
Yeah, it's weird looking.
It's probably one of the worst anniversary openings I've seen.
Terrible.
That's kind of a weird one to celebrate in general.
75.
That's like, I don't think we're going to make it to 100.
They do.
They do.
They saw the fucking, uh, the, the, the,
merger coming. That's almost as
pathetic as having your
15th anniversary show at the Bell House
in Brooklyn this December 6th.
Almost as pathetic, but not
quite, not quite.
The movie opens with Adrian Brody
falling through the sky. Which would be a
brutalist way to die.
Oh, man, you got the brutalist joke
out of the way. I got a couple of it.
I want to cross them all out.
Well, it was the crazy part of this movie when the predator
goes to like growl at them and it was
fucking, they used AI because
the actor couldn't get the Predator dialects.
And then we're giving him the Oscar
for using AI because he wouldn't
learn one line of Hungarian.
Come on. Predators just trying to make a
fucking community center in the middle of
this goddamn jungle and you keep on
fucking with him. What's the fucking deal,
man? Seriously. And like that predator
didn't realize that the light would hit the book
perfectly in that library that
he was making. Do you think he knew about the
war on his planet? Do you think he knew that
that was all going to happen to him and his people?
He didn't know. He had no clue. He had no clue.
He had to get here.
Then the predator takes you to that fucking marble mine in Italy or whatever that was and things got weird.
Or all enormous.
The predator at the end, it's now filmed on video and he's being wheeled out by his niece.
He just loves Felicity Jones, okay?
He sees all the skulls that he's collected over the years.
Notting his head, crying a little bit.
He's a little enfeebled.
70s Italian disco is still playing for some reason.
I don't think that the predators do a lot
I would love to see an old predator
I know we've been saying this for years
I just want to see other kinds of predators
and not just like the badass ones
there's got to be an old fucking wrinkled predator
he's got like a giant metal like sword
and you're like what's you going to use that for
it's a walking game
that's the thing for what exactly
do you want it like the judge
and old predators shitting himself
is this really what you're
dark green shit he's wiping
on the fucking wall
it's like the savages
because he's embarrassed
he turns himself invisible
before he shits in the shower
totally but then you see the fucking turns
he's using his old one it doesn't even work anymore
it just barely gives him cover
I would turn myself invisible for every bathroom
break exactly oh totally
and for showers too
dude you can just go in public like oh
you're not going to worry about the NYPD
on the trains anymore
suddenly there's just a stream of piss coming out of nowhere
how about the beach are you leaving
on the beach? I would be pissing and shitting
on everyone at the beach. Okay. I meant the invisibility. Are you using
it at the beach? Oh, yeah, yeah. What am I going to take my shirt off?
That's crazy.
Here's the thing with this movie
that opens, and you know, now with this new movie that's coming out,
again, another world of predators thing.
And maybe, no, I don't think they did this in prey. If you're
having all these predators now running around and whatever, I need
subtitles on the growling and the clicking
I need them to be talking to
each other because they're not characters
but you're trying to
it's different than a xenomorph right
you're trying to make these characters they're
humanoid they have personalities
but we don't ever understand
them and the larger role they take
in these stories I'm like I gotta hear
what's going on I agree I want like
a sitcom kind of opening like you pop
one guy one predator pops into the other
predator in the morning it's like what are you doing
this weekend you're going hunting yeah
you're going hunting.
God, I can't believe you showed up at my house before we went to work.
This is ridiculous.
I had the worst date last night.
The worst.
Hey, buddy, what do you got in the fridge?
Any human, uh, human trophies?
Got leftovers from Pacino's, you know, the extra pepperoni last night.
You want it, you got it.
Well, that's the thing.
I mean, the issue, I mean, because I think even later on, Lawrence Fishburn says,
oh, there's a blood feud between the predators.
Oh, what the law is there?
Is that in?
Yep.
And then the other, I mean, I don't even know what this competitor did to be.
be condemned to death or
whatever. Because as we're told
I think there's like, the way
Lawrence Fishburn I think sort of lays this
all out, he's like, yeah, they're all
predators. And yeah, if you boiled
them, they might be pretty juicy.
But there's, it's like dogs
and wolves. Yeah. And so
we've got these like alpha guys, like that big
dick dude and 28 years later.
Those guys. And then like the little
weaner predators. The little weaner predators is the one
that we've seen in other movies. Getting eugenics
seeds. I don't know about this.
Which, I mean, again, it would be cool if we knew anything about their culture.
Adrian Barney Falls, it'd be kind of great if he just broke both his legs.
He's like, I can't be in the movie, shit.
That's definitely happened to several other people thrown onto this planet.
With these little matchstick legs, I thought he would have.
My God, I'll be severely miscast.
I do like him as an actor, but good God, he does not work in this movie.
This is my favorite argument you have is that he's not meaty enough for the role.
Meady?
Yeah, like he's not big enough.
Yeah, well, it's not just he's not big enough.
he doesn't know how to do this
role. I mean, he's holding
the gun. He's dropping through the jungle.
I can hold the gun. You want me to drop in the jungle?
I don't mean, it's happened. I don't think he's the worst
part of the movie. The screenplay is the problem.
It's basically that when Bart tries
just like, oh, he can't see the EG and Scratchy
movie. He's like, well, I have the imagination
of a 10 year old boy. I could make them do what I want.
And they're just standing there. That's what these people
are doing. It's a great setup. It's a
cool idea. And then everyone just
kind of stands there. And then like. And the
toughest guy is 80 pounds wet
soaking wet. But they're all looking at
each other like, do you want to start the movie? Yes.
What about you want to, if you want to pull the ripcourt and start the
Russian does not want to start the movie. The Russian
is not interested. He's not Russian to start that movie.
Yes. Yes. Yeah, Danny Trejo is the second one.
He falls, he does have a future
parachute. So maybe this is like
the not so distant future.
Next Sunday AD.
Shalana. Yeah, I think it's supposed to be.
Okay. Yeah. Send them the worst
predators we could find. Or no, actually, because.
Because the Russian says something about fighting in Chechnya, that was like 2009.
There's references to Afghanistan is where someone was from.
So maybe he's got a predator of parachutes, and how would he know?
Well, the predators are outfitting them to drop them.
Yeah, they are predator parachutes, and they're presuming that they're going to understand how to open the...
It's like, guys, if you want this fair fight, you're dropping all your little prey into your planet of killing, you've got to just set them down there.
Or at least have like a sign that's like push me.
I want the fat roadie predator that's, all right, buddy, you're going to lock you into the rig.
When you get down there, it's going to be three, two, and then pull the shoot.
If you can't pull the shoot, there is a second shoot.
Wait, is this your first jump?
I guess I'm going to have to come with you.
And do you want a videotape of this?
The line is going to pull you.
So you don't have to yank it that hard.
It's going to do the work for you.
So you don't worry.
I mean, check this out right.
It's just $60.
$60, you will get a tape of your jump, and we will put rock you like a hurricane in it.
It's going to be totally awesome.
Yeah, we'll send that and the footage of you being murdered.
It's all about safety. Yes, until you do get on the planet,
then you will be murdered immediately. But it's all about safety right now.
It does suggest some peace in the world.
Like, we have gotten all of our, we've stopped putting them in prisons.
Yes.
So we start shipping them off to the alien planet.
Prison that we could, a prison planet, really.
Yeah.
And getting rid of them a new and beautiful way.
I like that.
Yeah, they call this planet New Australia.
But it's kind of cool.
It's one of those things like, is it cool or is it just,
just unsatisfying. It's unsatisfying that we don't know how
they got there and why they got there. You know why Predator
Juan was interesting? It's set on fucking Earth. And I understood
like, oh, there's like guerrillas in the woods. There's other
factions. There's things going on. I have an idea
of what real Earth is. This is a non-planet. I know it's
kind of cool when we go up a hill and we see Saturns and shit flying
around. But other than that, there's nothing to contextualize
this place. Besides, there's dogs, too. The dogs suck.
those are bad
I mean you got to give
I don't care that it's set on an alien planet
but you got to tell me what's going on here
you know what I mean
again like that's that's to your point
Andrew about subtitles
maybe Lawrence Fishburn's got all the answers
because he's been like he's
by the way two days on Lawrence Fishburn
not a fucking surprise
yeah no you can fucking smell it
dude he was really not here
for more than one and a half days
I mean it's
yeah he shows up like 80 minutes
did you call me before the Matrix came out
you didn't well fucking I would be
doing that all the time. I didn't realize it at the time, but that cartoon that came out recently
on Hulu or whatever is kind of the same premise as this. I think it's done better, but the
problem with that is I don't like the cryo sleep of making them all from different eras at the same
time. Why are you saving the contestants for like centuries? That's a good one. Save that for
when my kids are grown up. Freeze that Viking and you know for like 400 years. That will defrost her she
can fight this other dude. Like that shit. And I didn't even
realize it was like cryostasis at first
I was like are you telling me like the predators
are fucking time traveling now
is that what's going to? The American
Depression Predator is not good
I got to tell you he's a weakling
You know this thing is a hungry
Oaky could probably take out a predator
There you know the dust bowls going on
True you know they can't even get in to see gone with
the wind or whatever the fuck was happening
I bet you you put war notes against
a predator he's coming out on top
Oh definitely I think the cockfighter himself
Yeah great movie
Go watch Cockfighter instead.
Much better film.
Everyone starts landing, right?
This is like the start of a Twilight Zone.
Nobody knows anybody, but we all start dropping.
Danny Trejo drops down.
Oleg, Tarktakov is this Nikola guy.
And they're all armed to the teeth, by the way.
Armed to the teeth.
I do love that like Brody falls.
Like he gets his shoot open a little bit,
but still like falls through and just lands on his back.
And then when he rolls over, he's just got this huge fucking god killer strap
him.
And I was like, guys, I fell on my gun.
Ow!
Like, there has to be an ass.
Owie,
owie,
owie.
Yeah,
Danny Trero's got
some guns
and then yes,
I mean,
the other thing
about this movie
is it's so like,
obviously,
because I think the order
was Predator,
Predator 2,
both of those
alien versus Predator movies.
This is like the newest,
like only Predator movie.
Yes.
So this is so slavishly
referencing that first predator.
Sure is.
Starting with this chain gun.
Like Robert Rodriguez,
God bless your heart,
you made two movies
that were crude.
He was like saying like,
oh,
I'm not like,
Like, all the, there was such terrible sequels that I'm just basing this just on the first one.
This is a Halloween 2018 situation.
Yes.
We're not acknowledging any of the series.
Oh, by, by Leaps and down.
It's a good-ass movie.
I mean, like, that's the thing is it just sort of like, eh.
And also, but you were going to reference Predator 2 because both fucking Arnold and Danny Glover were supposed to be in this movie.
Yes.
And they canceled that idea.
So, like, you did want to get a taste.
That would have been cynical and bad, but better.
it would have added flavor that is much needed.
Clearly, Lawrence Fishburn's character
was just rewritten as one of them, right?
Yeah, probably.
You found Dutch, he's like been brought there to or something.
He's like living there forever.
I'm imagining Danny Glover and Arnold Schwarzenegger
had their cameo on the same day and they're like,
let's get lunch beforehand.
And then they're just having lunch and have a really good time.
I was like, do you want to do this?
I don't want to.
And they're just kind of like, let's get another round of drinks instead.
Hey, Danny, let me ask you something really quickly.
Do you think this idea sucks?
Yeah, I think it sucks bad.
Do we need, we don't need the money, do we?
You know what?
One more bloody marriage.
Then we get on the plane back home.
Robert Rodriguez fucking pokes his head in the room.
Guys, we're ready for guys, the plane's fucking taken off.
I mean, adding that camey, those cameos would undercut those movies because like at the end,
there's a, especially in the second one, there's a respect from the predators to someone who could beat them.
And they let him go and they give them that old-timey.
Guns. Oh, that's right. Danny Glover and is tight khakis.
It gets a prize at the end, which is pretty cool.
That's awesome. That's cool, yeah.
Put it up on my wall afterwards.
Also, that's a weird alternate future, right?
Yes, it is. It is, yeah.
Arnold, what if we just got smashed on Tom Collins instead?
What if we just...
Now you're speaking my language.
I don't drink drinks that are named after men.
Sorry, Danny. That's a little gay.
All right, Tom Collins for me.
Whiskey soda for you.
Yeah, that sounds like a good.
non-gay drink name.
Sorry, Robert, we're getting smashed.
You'll have to do the movie without us.
A straight gin and tonic from me, please.
It's called Tom Collins, and it's got this, like, white liquid.
I don't know.
Who did someone come in there?
Coming is terrific.
I'm coming at the gym.
I'm coming in my Tom Collins.
The Russian guys got the chain gun, much like Jesse the Body Ventura.
By the way...
Hey, remember that?
I do.
There's a lot of remember that in this movie.
and Brody is pretty
I mean he's doing this like Clint Eastwood
kind of sucks this voice sucks
sucks yeah he's like yeah he's like
what did you please stop doing
that yeah if we weren't on the same
side I wouldn't be talking to you right now
he's like the best
badass ever exist you don't know
anything about him anything at all
at the end when he gives his name it's like
I'm Royce I'm like who gives his shit
oh you're Royce I'm putting my coat on
I don't give a shit
You know, like, at least, like, Nikolai is, like, looking at photos of his family and stuff.
Contextualize your fucking characters.
The Russian is, like, the only one with any kind of real backstory.
Just make him the lead, then.
This dude's kind of good.
I've liked him in things before.
Oleg, what's his name?
Yeah.
Tartacoff or something like that.
Alice Bragg, I was going to say, Oleg to stand on.
Standoff of a, uh, uh, uh, workshop it, workshop it, work shopping.
Keep going.
No, no.
I'll be back next week.
We'll do a lightning round.
No, so Alice Braga drops down.
Alice Braga, previous Robert Rodriguez
We Hate Movies episode, Hypnotic.
Absolutely.
That's an awful movie.
I'll watch that over this.
No, I kind of agree.
That movie's silly.
It's kind of fun.
I'm not going to agree with you people.
That's fine.
Listen, everyone listening to this loves this movie.
I guarantee you.
And it's okay to like a movie, by the way.
Sure, it is.
That's what I've been told.
Yeah, so she comes in, and she,
she's got a great line that reminds me of the one of it one of if not my favorite line
of the godfather and sort of transposes it here where she just goes uh i've never seen a jungle
like this and i've seen all the jungles i've been here for five minutes we just put her
on the pay no mind list now we let's all talk about what's going on here other than her
dumbest i was like you've seen all the jungle clearly have not madam please well they're
known for, you know, they say
that she's IDF and they're known for attacking every
country on the planet. It's amazing. It's also
bizarre that she's a Brazilian actress, like, why
like, if maybe she was written
as IDF, but like, oh, Alice Bragg is going to do it,
she's just a Brazilian mercenary
or whatever. Because it ultimately
doesn't matter because Adrian Brody goes,
oh, but look at your gun, your
IDF, huh? And like, she doesn't even
say anything. Yeah, so you don't even know.
By the way, this gun with a, it's got like a
universal remote on top of it. I don't know.
You can kill somebody and reprogram your VCR at the same time.
Really smart thinking here.
It is a cheap prop.
I think you're right.
I think someone, like, the prop department had like a fake gun,
and then they took the, literally like a TiVo remote and fucking glued it to the top of this thing.
I would rather him saying like, oh, you're one of Gaddafi's bodyguards, lady bodyguards.
You're the one that put the sword up his ass.
Okay.
You're one of the toughest.
Can I get your autograph, please?
Holy shit.
Sword gal.
I mean, from like the 70s to this second.
in time. It was super cool to be an
IDF sniper. I remember
Dr. Ruth was apparently
one. That's right. I don't think she was a sniper.
Yes, apparently. I think she was.
She was murkent. You're a sniper, dude.
She's hiding in little crows nests and whatnot.
The tiniest crows nests.
The littlest sniper.
She was playing with herself the whole
time. And then we've got
we've got this, the Japanese
Yakuza do, the Yakuza guy drops
in here. Classic Homer Simpson.
That guy's going to do something cool. I mean,
And he does, I guess, at the end.
But, like, when he finally talks to Tofer Gracie, we'll talk at length about, the movie's
almost over, and the, like, Tofer Grays is like, wow, you could speak English, you
could speak?
And I'm like, could anyone have a conversation in this movie and, like, no, just be like,
what were you like?
Because even, like, you know, later one, Goggins, all these people, like, just give
me, like, the two-sentence by a bio of them.
Because it's supposed to be a mystery, right?
It's supposed to.
But, like, I don't really feel, because you are doing all.
the brawny action shit as well
on a very low level. That
shit is completely watering
down the mystery. I don't feel
the pull of the mystery at all because you
keep on doing this shit and it's so
weak sauce. Watering down
a mystery. It is a little bit.
The thing is like it's an
overarching mystery of why they're there and what
this planet is and then it's just like
and then every character is also a mystery.
It's too many mysteries. It is and also the mystery
is solved by the synopsis which you know
because you have a ticket and you've seen
The first Predator movie, clearly.
But, like, tell me what Walton Goggins is even in for.
They're given Walton Goggins.
He's, like, a light version of the Steve Busemi-Kahn-Air character.
It's a little, like, they allude to him being, like, super fucked up.
He reminds me of the same character, not that character, but another character from that, from Connare, Johnny 27 or whatever.
That's a, that's a day of trail, actually.
Oh, yeah.
The rapist.
You're going to be one more on my, whatever.
No, because all he talks about, he talks about raping.
It's all the live long.
day. But I mean like
Walton Gagin's great actor
obviously like really early in his career
Mahershal Ali also great actor really early
in his career. Yep. And they're like fighting
each other and they've got nothing to do.
Come on you motherfucker. Come on you
he's not doing the he-haw accent
by the way Gagin's easy. It's very
odd to just hear him not do it. Because he was cast
his board crowded at the same year so I feel like he wanted
to differentiate. Oh yeah definitely
I mean yeah I was kind of putting on a little bit
his board Crowder accent is really
wild but it's also weird because this
is like, you know, 15 years old already.
He, on White Lotus,
you know, his most recent thing that I've seen, like, he just
already sounds completely different, like,
see episodes of We Hate Movies
from 15 years ago. Oh, totally. But it's kind of
a nice, like, bit of camaraderie
I felt with Walton Goggins. I was like, he sounds like a little
kid, too. Oh, you're saying our
voices have changed. Oh, yeah, big time.
Not at all. No, you sound like
fucking twice run over gravel now.
So do I. I sound
and look like shit.
so yeah they're fighting
Mahershala Ali as Bombasa by the way
And this is this is some more
We're just kind of changing little things from the first one
The first one you got that Native American dude
He's like the guy who's won with the jungle
And now later Mahershala will be staring
And he's seeing the predator in the tree
And doing the whole like one with the environs kind of deal
We didn't love that first movie because of the jungle
That wasn't the thing that got me
Rewatching that movie every day
as a kid it wasn't the jungle
it would have been kind of cool if you
took this little less
jungle more sci-fi and it's kind of more of like a hunger
games thing and you can realize like there's the arena
because that's what they do in that cartoon
oh yeah yeah well because Larry Fishman's got that line
where he's like I used to try to walk out and see if I could walk to the end of
the preserve but the preserve doesn't end or whatever
and I guess you're supposed to take that as like
it's not an arena like the whole planet is
the arena that was like don't think about it
Yeah, exactly.
But that's the biggest, most interesting part of your movie.
That's also just excusing the way, come on now, Lawrence Fishburn got lazy.
He walked for two days.
That's enough of that.
There's no end to this planet.
This person doesn't stop.
It goes on forever.
I mean, you set up something like that.
I need like a Truman show kind of ending where, like, Adrian Brody touches the, you know, the force field or whatever.
Yeah, then you cut to like all these predator families at home.
Just a little baby predator in the bath.
One's got a bone at Sarah.
She has the girl, and then they're watching the whole, like, running man type of thing.
Well, let's see if Predator Cheers is on.
Predator Cheers is filmed before a live studio audience that was later hunted.
How are you doing, growl?
Brer!
Been hunting predator dogs all day, and boy, are my dogs barking.
I think John Ratsenberg is just there as well.
Same guy.
Hey, Growley.
They put a tooth coming out my mouth, so now I got a big fang.
Hey, uh, Grauley, you, uh, rip out any spines and skulls lately?
Uh, we are best friends, that's right.
Sorry, Mr. Grauley, we can't accept, uh, polished skulls anymore for currency.
Serve me, you brain dead hick.
Jesus, what do you mean that a Tom Collins is gay?
It's a great fucking drink.
What are you talking about?
No, I'm just thinking about someone throwing down a xenomorph skull, the guy, the bartender.
I can't make change for that.
You want to buy the ball?
Is that what you're doing here?
Yeah, I may own the place, but I don't drink anyway.
There's coffee for me.
Yeah, there's a predator.
I blew my knee out.
Now I got to run a bar.
You know, this is no good.
We're going to go to a predator married with children.
Yeah, so we're all meeting each other or whatever.
Tofer Grace, we meet.
He's stuck hanging upside down in a tree doing the exact.
the exact Tofer Grace thing.
I mean, I mean, I don't dis,
I'm not a big fan of Tofer Grace's movie work or work really in general.
I don't have any ill will against the guy personally.
I don't know.
It's just like, so much of this movie,
someone somewhere was like, it's the Tofer.
And then when the Tofer Grace twist happens,
the audience is going to be like, holy shit.
Which is so insane because this movie came out in 2010.
This dude's way big crescent.
He was already fucking editing Star Wars movies in his three times.
Which he did better than this.
It's just a boring performance.
it was reminding me of flight risk
that he was in where it's...
Which movie is that?
With Mark Wahlberg directed by Mel Gibson.
He's wearing these bald or whatever in that movie.
Mark Wahlberg is, yeah.
But it's just, oh, it's Tofer Grace with glasses
and he's playing a regular guy.
Oh, good.
That's the thing is when the thing with Tofer Grace
is when you put him in a movie and you're like,
he's a normal guy, I know he's not.
Yeah.
I immediately know he's not.
I know you're just waiting to drop something about this guy
that I'm sure is going to change the whole thing.
But you got, if you're going to do that in this movie,
you've got to do that with more than six minutes left.
Early on, you have to do that pretty early on.
They're like, well, what are we going to do?
Adrian Brody is kind of like the, I guess he's like,
I'm going this way.
And they're like, well, if you want to follow me, you could follow me.
Yeah, oh, great.
I can't wait to watch this character for a whole movie.
I will say, Tofer Grace clearly can spot a mark, though.
God bless him.
Because Nikolai is about to make.
out with a poisonous plant and he's like, no, no, no, no, no, don't try to eat it. It's a poisonous
plant. And then Nikolai is like, he's like, I protect you from now on. You are my twink now.
I protect twink, I protect. I smack bottom, you leap. Yes. I put my hand in your pocket,
yes? You know what that means? There's a weird moment here. Again, like you're trying to add
some mystery to Alice Bragg is like, oh, Adrian Brody, you want to see something fucked up?
And she puts a leaf in the water
And it just like keeps spinning around in a circle
That's not good
Like yeah, that is not good
And I would like to learn more about that
At some point in the movie
But it's just like we're elsewhere
You know
The toilet flushes this way here
Street light of liberty
But like if they're walking
It can just be like
Walt and God was like yeah man
I was in the electric chair
And then I blacked out
And I woke up here
Like you know what I mean like some
That would be a little more possessed
Instead it's I was
two days away from execution.
Okay.
Yeah.
So then, like...
And then the alien ships came and took me...
Did they do a prison break?
Yes, exactly.
They apparently did.
No, no.
Yeah, this is for Walton Gaggagin's, it's a cake, and there's definitely not a file in it.
Not a three-lazared file in there.
I would like to do a conjugal visit, please, with Walter...
Walton, we have more cake in the ship.
Come to the ship, there's more cake.
The record said that an old lady in a pink nightgown and night-calfe.
and big glasses showed up with a huge cake for him.
But it looked like a hulking monster.
She was six foot nine.
I don't know why.
And here's a proposer of Rocco Welch for his cell.
No reason.
Get busy living or get busy hunting predator.
I don't.
And like that question amongst all,
and I guess maybe that's why the dialogue doesn't go too deep.
Because none of this makes sense.
So what we find out later or at the end of the way,
the big twist is that I guess
Tofer Grace who just seems like a really nice
doctor guy is a serial
killer. Yes. But he doesn't
even do any doctoring. Like a combat
medic would be fun in this scenario. He doesn't
do any doctoring. He almost does some
serial killing. But like is the
predator like reading the news?
Oh, the Ripper Strikes again. We're going to
fight this guy. You know what I love that show, Dexter?
We should get one of those next year.
Larry, get over. You see this
BTK. Now there's a guy
He's a big fat guy, you see?
A big middle-aged fat guy.
Ties him up, you see.
Finds him, then he tortures him, then he kills him.
I think this guy would be good for next season's murder plan.
We're not doing the dexter plant ever again.
We went there with Larry, and Larry moved to Miami indefinitely.
I don't get it.
Yes, it's nice.
The weather's nice.
But come on, we have things to do.
Because a bunch of soldiers in the midst of war fits for Predator, obviously.
They just snatch them out.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, oh, there's a war.
I'm a predator.
I know where war is.
Right, yeah.
And they get him, but, like, yes.
So when they go in, like, he's like, oh, I've got a wife and kids.
So, like, his suburban house, they're like,
or I will wait in the garage to put a bag over his head.
But we know he's a serial killer.
Like that great movie, Trapp.
Oh, I love that movie.
Yeah, it's really good.
Can we stay in his house and jack his HBO Max for a little while?
I would just like to get gulp on what has been, you know,
really good at the movies lately.
He's 40, so he wakes up to pee around 3 a.m.
You got to just stay here.
until that would grab him.
Their family won't know.
They're going to have their new mission impossible next week.
Let's stay.
Let's stay for five days.
Yeah, I need to know.
Like, if you showed it in flashback,
all of their abductions, right?
Because the Walton Gagins one is the biggest mystery.
Like, you know,
was there a huge explosion at the jail when he was pulled out?
Like, you know, how did they break him out of jail?
I want to see that.
Yes, I want to see maybe the governor has an arrangement with the predator.
I would hope so.
Funnaling contestants right from the penitentiary out to the prison.
No, no, no, we got another part.
Oh, yeah, then he went missing.
No, she runs on it.
No, I am hard on crime.
I send our worst of the worst to the predator planet.
Send him to the predator planet.
And as I'm doing that, I'm getting rid of the jail.
And that's right.
Getting rid of more jobs.
Yeah, fuck you, jobs.
That's actually a good point.
Like, we're sending all these people to these other countries prisons.
Why don't you hire a few people here to hit people with clubs?
Yeah, come on now.
So we come across like this big shipping container.
They realize there's like a sea of shipping containers stuck in trees.
Oh, they've been dumping things down here other than, you know, human-sized people,
what are in these crates or whatever.
And then they set off this massive forest booby trap, Arnold style right here.
Very Arnold style.
And this is a guy who has since died a long time ago.
He was like, I guess he like, I don't know, died a starvation or something.
I forget how he's got a predator blast.
Oh, they went through his traps and they're like, fuck that noise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they got around him and shot this guy and they got.
The movie makes it look like a fucking chessburster, which is...
That's right.
Think you're really smart, don't you?
Oh, you think you're the first person to put a bunch of spears on a wooden plank.
Sharp branches, huh?
Okay, they're not sending their best.
Oh, a big log.
Whoa.
This is also like the amount of leaps that Adrian Brody and Alice Braga's characters making this
movie, he's like, well, that's a big deadfall.
And usually dead, the rule, these guys must
be massive, because the rule about deadfall is
the rule, of course. Yeah, it's like, it's
got to be at least six times as large
as the prey you're putting it
under. So therefore, and I'm like, shut
the fuck up. Yeah, that is just,
I don't need that trap ever
explained to me in the movie. It's just a big log
swinging on something. The problem with Brody is he doesn't
have any pizzazz. There's no comedy
swing to his performance. There's no
there's no swagger to it. You have
to be taken this for a walk.
Because you're making the fucking fifth movie with a predator in it.
It's a bee movie.
Let it be a bee movie.
Get Jerry Seinfeld has a bee in it.
For example.
Oh, that's the most deadly bee.
Does he get exploded?
Then yes.
Well, that would be funny.
The earlier predator outings are like they don't get humans are.
We tried domestic cat.
That didn't take very long.
We tried a bee that was hard to just even see it, honestly.
You know, the bee was kind of a waste of time.
We all had fun, like, oh, we're going to hunt.
to be, but we know it was stupid.
A couple years ago, and this is
on me, honestly, I should have thought this
beforehand. We got the entire
cast of, I'm a celebrity, get me out of here.
And we put them on here.
They were done within an hour. They were all
gone within an hour. It was, I have
never, they didn't even want the fucking
videotape of this shit. They were, they were not
interested. Yeah, and you know, again,
if we're admitting mistakes here, fault
on my part, I really, really
thought that guy was Bear Grillis, but
he was just some guy. And it took two
seconds. We get our first
instance of Predator Vision somewhere around here.
This is where Myershal is just like staring
into the fucking forest and then the Predator
is looking back, doing the
audio recording and repeating it back
and sounding cool.
And it's fine.
You got it.
Good luck.
And then the Predator
is the Predator.
Credit card. You've got it.
Predic card.
That's dumb.
Oh, boy.
The Predator dog show up.
their stupidest sin
This is Doug
This would be like
If you were playing Predators
The video game
This would be like
All these fucking things again
And it's like they didn't want to
They wanted to make this
Like a direct sequel to Predator
And not part of the AVP franchise
But a xenomorph would make more sense
Than giving me wart hogs
But then they're the dogs of the Predator
That doesn't make much sense
You know what?
This whole movie don't make no sense
Chris
Hey Shug
This movie don't make no sense
Preach his barb, but no, it don't make no sense.
Girls sit down, your movie don't make no sense, child.
Ooh, shit, child, your movie's dumb.
You know, better movie if there's a ghost door in this.
No, no, that'll take.
That one I will say.
We're going to take you, we're dropping the ghosts down now.
Yeah, there was the one season.
Again, this was a total waste of time, but we transplanted the entire Warren's spooky museum to the prison plant.
And I didn't know at the time that those people were full of shit.
We were just fucking shooting the shit out of household.
I'm thinking they were haunted.
I love the old guy from
Polter guys too
would have put up more of a fight.
Now watch out though,
but when you get close to it though,
you will start talking like this child
and you can't stop it then child.
I'm grandma predator
child.
Shit, it's a holy catman of predators
talking like Zelda Rubinstein.
Well, to your point, like if these predators could talk
and maybe that would maybe, you know,
maybe they give them all ear pods
or AirPods that can translate
Yes, thank you.
You see.
the Predator, it puts like a, you know what, put a collar on them and the collar's got
speakers and translate. No, give him beats. Come on. Or like Hunger Games announcements. You know,
you got a, you got a Caesar Predator, Lopolis. Also still played by Stanley Tucci.
Exactly. With purple dreadlocks and introducing this whole thing. He's sexily cutting up tomatoes
because he's making some Bucciano. Welcome to the Predator game. And later, I'll show you the proper
vermouth for your cocktail. And let me talk to everybody when I say.
But the, I mean, the predator dogs are whatever.
I mean, like, the problem also, there's seven of them.
There's seven, like, bad dudes or, you know, our lead character.
They should be fighting.
Like, Marshall Ali and Walton Goggins fight for a second.
That gets put down.
One should definitely kill somebody else.
Somebody should definitely, like, be killing them, be like, if I'm the last one alive,
like, you get that guy going and maybe one of these dogs gets a really cool kill.
Because, again, like, the kills aren't that great in this movie.
Like, again, the setup is kind of cool.
Yeah.
The first big
like death, right?
So yeah, we have this big
all these wildebeest things.
It looks like Brotherhood of the Wolf Monster.
Funny enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We kill all these things or whatever.
And then someone's, I think Alice Bragg is like,
wait, there's only seven of us.
Where is?
Oh, Danny Trejo is missing.
And like, we don't see what happened to Danny Trejo.
It's a cool, like, the predator is like
clearly killed him already, put him down,
and there's a force field around him.
And we're using Danny Trejo's voice recording
to be like, help me, help me, or whatever.
fun. That's fun. No, he turned him into
an answering machine. It reminds
I was...
Danny Trejo, is it at home?
I remembered
it was driving me nuts. This is
from something else. This reminds me
so much of something else. It's like,
help me. Like, just
the monster putting it back. Yep. It is
Independence Day. Yes, it is.
Release me. Yes.
Yes. No peace.
Yes. That's a cooler, and that
it's the same fucking thing. And it's like,
you can only see the back of him. It's, it's an effective, like,
creepy moment. But here's the thing. I'm waiting
the whole time for someone
to do the shoot him to see if he's
still alive thing. And it takes
way too long. Alice Braga finally does it,
but I was like, you need to do that before
the end of the scene. And everybody's already
left except for her to do this.
Like, you got to like hit that dude
in the shoulder. Like, I'm going to check and see if
he's still, you know, whatever. She kills him.
She's trying to kill him because it's like, we're leaving him
and she's like, I can't leave him a man behind.
So she just shoots him. Is that what she's
because it's like the back shoulders.
something though, I don't know.
And then he just slumps over and then he says, help me again.
He's like, oh, no, it was a trap.
Yeah.
But Brody in this moment is, don't leave me like this, Neil.
Neil, don't leave me like this.
He starts going off about like we're being hunted, this, that, and the other thing.
And like, I expected somewhere in this movie it to be revealed like he's done this before.
He knows what predators are.
I've seen this happen before.
he's just a mercenary that may or may not i'm saying may have participated in a previous
hunting humans for sport activity oh sure yeah because he hasn't now where the prey and i got to figure
out he said he was apprehended in baha so i was like was dillan mackay surfing behind you also but
those hard target fellas they need a guide every time they do those things they can't just be doing
that themselves they need somebody around with that's true yeah before this we actually got
a scene with Braga was going to shoot
herself on the head. Yes. So they call the
dogs off. Oh, right. Because Tofer Grace can't
take. The murdering serial killer is like,
no. Why is that? Like, he's like upset that she's about to commit
suicide. I could have killed you.
Because we're setting up the twist, I guess.
We're making them see what he's not. We're lying to
the audience. It doesn't make any sense that he'd be like,
no. But the predators also don't
attack people that aren't armed, right? We've learned. So,
I mean, so if they're going to kill themselves, they don't want them to.
And then if Tover Grace...
Oh, now you're making it no fun for me.
Come on.
No, don't do that.
I guess Tuver Grace does adhere to that.
There's that scene later where he's running in the woods
and they're actually shooting at the guy behind him,
the other aliens, so I don't know.
It doesn't make any sense.
The, um, just a,
Chris, you had a good heat quote and I'm just thinking,
are these predators good? These predators are good?
Okay, motherfucker.
Oh, is that Waingrove parachuting?
What are they looking at?
The Earth Predators.
They're looking at the Earth Predators.
Hi!
Because she had a big ass and dreadlocks were all over.
I had coffee with Growley half an hour ago.
Just because I wanted to do it.
Better and better movie.
And like we get to the predator.
Again, we still have not seen a fucking predator.
It's been 30 some odd minutes.
No, plenty of predator vision, but that's it.
And it's like, again, like, in the first movie, it was cool because we didn't know what the
fuck of the thing was going on.
Yes.
It's the third.
You can't exactly.
It's actually, let's be honest, it's the fucking fourth one.
You know what I mean?
Like, or it's the fifth one.
It's the fifth movie with a predator in it.
So, like, we can reveal them early.
Yeah.
Predator one or two.
It's interesting when people are doing something and then there's a predator.
This is people milling around being like what's going on.
Oh, a predator.
so they come across basically the bone temple by the way
this predator encampment skulls all over the place
you got maherchalette dude and he's just given these lines
he's like in my homeland
who has the most trophies is the man with the most power
as he's looking at fucking bleached skulls on the ground
you have to play the game because of the second movie
you gotta be there oh what kind of skulls gonna be there
was alf skull there wado's skull dude alf skull would have been awesome
My wife and children
Taken from me by the predator
When we threw the domestic cats down
We threw a few alfs
See if the alfs could scare them out there for us
We sent a letter to the one that lives with the humans
He'll know what happened
And then we brought his old friend that smoked crack a lot
The father?
Yeah, the father
The father from the show, you understand
Alph, I think we're on a predator planet
Your eyes are a little red
I hope they take you first
And just and like
But this predator
Well it's a ripped Hawaiian shirt
Did they get Alford?
No
Is it their Alfred Dennis Nedry?
Uh uh uh uh
But the
I mean look the predator that's tied up
Cool idea
But what?
And then later with Adrian Brod
he's like, you take me home?
And he's like,
take me home, Brooklyn,
118 Prospect Avenue.
Uber.
If you get me home,
I will give you a really cool
all red and white Adidas track suit, okay?
South block,
seven blocks south of the park.
I can't go over the bridge at this hour.
Plus, that chax suit would never fit me.
Look at you.
Go the lower route.
Not the top.
that is the blocked away
you're not supposed to
you're not supposed to deny someone
passage by the way
what's your number
that's your predator number
it's the predator medallion
I just it doesn't
it's a cool idea but
like we get a little bit of like
the blood feud from
fishburn but it never
and they fight each other
because it's cool to watch two predators fight
sure but here's what it has to be
if this predator
that they've crucified
or whatever's going on here
if he's he's like the beta to like the big dick alpha ones or whatever this is where the subtitles would come in handy because they could kind of maybe figure out a way that the predator could be on their side and then you've got this group of like hunters going through like these people but the predator is on their team and you know and if we have to talk about the events of the first film with dutch and everything and how he defeated a predator maybe the predator could tell us instead of the IDF who I guess has every classified file from the USA yeah wherever that happens in this movie where Alice Brad
is like something something my boss told me about this guy who was on this mission in
Guatemala which if I remember Predator correctly isn't it a fake country that they're in
I don't remember that's Commando I think oh commandos is also the Verde oh that's maybe what
I'm but you know I honestly don't remember exactly I thought Predator they were also dropped
into a fake place but I guess I mean it could be Guatemala she says it was Guatemala right
I think they filmed it outside of Puerto Vallada Mexico and she's just like oh they were big
they could be invisible and they could do this
and he cut that they used it for
envision they he covered himself in mud
as soon as she says the mud thing I was like
Adrian Brody will have his shirt off covered him
in mud at the end of this movie
boy was I right
apparently 60% of this film
was shot in Texas for the tax credit
hey that's why it's just
and then the 40% in Hawaii
for the jungle or whatever
also because it's Hawaii
yeah it's nice to be there
nice place a little trip I was always
hey Danny let's just go let's go to a lua
instead. Let's not
even bother with it. Let's go back to the resort
and we'll go to a louis. You'll be out to eat
an entire pig together. You'll give them
$30,000. I'll give them $30,000. We'll be
co-producer. Oh, yeah,
there you go.
But so, like, they're like, whoa, cool
predator thing. And then all of a sudden, by
the way, these predators, at least
in the IMD and
other places are named. They have
or they have, or they're not.
Falconer, Tracker, and Who Gives a Shit?
The one tied up is known as Classic Predator.
Oh, classic Predator.
Yeah, and I saw it was like, this is the first appearance of Classic Predators since the
1980s.
Hey, Classy!
Get over here.
I'm going to give you a Nuggy, fucking Classy.
Yeah, that's right.
That's Falcon.
You talk to Falcon the way he wants to be talked to.
Ooh, yeah, a new thing you can buy in the Predator game.
It's a little downloadable content here.
Classy for $9.99.
You get the classy skin.
We say classic, but not classy, but I like classy better because he has a monocle.
Oh, absolutely.
He's well-read.
We want what you want, civilization.
He can tell you all the post-2010 Woody Allen movies.
See, that would be actually...
I saw Rifkin's Festival multiple times.
How should the screening at a coffee shop secretly in my hometown?
And actually, to be honest, I do believe the allegations, but I still watch him.
Oh, wow.
So I'm the only Wallace-Compatist out there.
Oh, wow.
Oh, okay, fine.
I'm the only predator on this prison planner
that can separate the art from the artist.
Okay, fine, whatever.
I don't...
Fucking bullshit.
If he could...
Like, maybe that's why he's trying.
I was like,
I learned how to talk.
You know what I mean?
Like, dude.
I mean, that's the worst movie, but...
I tried to better myself,
and they chose to destroy me.
I learned English to sign the Roman Polansky letter of the solidarity.
I just respect David Lynch and Martin Scorsese so much.
I had to be on there, too.
oh man uh yeah your predator's got like a drone here that like this is pretty cool
the first death is behershala i mean the oh oh daddy trao we see is dead first but you know
off screen it's an off screen kill this one is like kind of i don't know it's okay it's very
mortal combat already yeah he pulls them up like impales him with a with a gauntlet thing yes but
it's interesting he said mortal combat though because the vibe is definitely how i feel with
these newer mortal combat games where I'm like
I don't need a 15 second fatality I'll tell you
right now like you use some of these
new immortal combat things you can do these moves and I'm
like he just keeps killing this guy
I was like this is overkill of this guy
big time your first on screen death and it's
fucking horrifying yeah it's also
the only black character up to now
well they're following horror movie rules
exactly so it's that causes like a big
shootout right here dude this is the funniest
thing is all these guys have big god
kill and do-too-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-cuns.
The fucking Yakuza dude is just this
little pistol, phew-phew, come on, predator,
pu-phew! Waste of
time. And like, I guess
there, all right, well, prison
guy, I guess whatever you have
on you, so prison guy does, you know,
Walt Gagan's has a ship.
He's got, yeah.
And it's kind of funny, give me a fucking gun, man.
You got so many guns, give you a fucking gun.
Oh, right, that's kind of a good scene.
But it's like, eh, it's a
they narrowly escape.
This is when Alice Brody gets in trouble because they're like,
you let us as bait there and you're using a lot of this shit of like,
aren't we a team?
And of course not,
you all hate each other.
How many times in this movie do we have to have the same conversation
that we're all out for each other?
Ourselves, rather.
That's like 15.
That's the whole movie.
And like, he's just like, when I learned a lot, I learned they're very large.
They can cloak themselves.
They use plasma-based weapons.
I'm like, well, okay, relax.
Okay, mercenary from 2000.
You're talking plasma-based way.
They got all sorts of space lasers up there.
They have the guns from a racer.
I saw them.
They're out there in the woods.
Shoot a huge gator with that fucking thing.
Are you going to have made him like a guy that worked at Roswell shooting fucking alien?
Area 51 basement and he was shooting gray aliens or something.
Just go nutty with it.
If you're going to do this dumb shit.
You have to get stupid with it.
You can't take yourself too seriously, which we have here.
big funny moment right here I love a good
we're all falling down a hill
oh yeah because this is how they escape from them
is like all the surviving characters
fall down the same huge hill into the water
I do like the shot yeah the falcon
falcon Jesus fucking Christ
this guy's got his little drone thing
and it flies back to the original like bone temple
area and I think the shot is cool
of all the predators like taking off their invisible
all right they're all gone we can all live freely again
loosen the belts take the shit
Oh, my God, I'm sick of sucking it in that whole fight.
I'm going to go back to the cabin and just hang out.
I'm going to smoke a j.
We're good for the night, right?
That was a good hunt.
I'm just going to, that was all right.
Pretty awesome.
You guys want anything to eat?
He's got some sandwiches back in the cabin.
That would be cool if they burst in on like the predator reading a newspaper.
Like, you know, the hunter should become the huntee.
My name used to be set.
But then when we started making deals with Saudi Arabia and they brought over some falcons.
And we just, me and the prince got so close that we just, he, he should.
I'm going to be honest. I cried a little bit. It was my first friend.
We bonded over the comedy festival. That was really good. They were having.
We have very similar senses of humor, you know, the dismembering and killing of others.
We don't know this because the predators never talk. We don't know anything about predators, really, even 17 movies in.
I would imagine that these are richer predators than the predator in the first. That guy is like a hillbilly with a shit-kicking car that just drives out on the weekend.
but these people have the air you have to pay for this obviously this is something big time yeah
no this is like the the high society predators they're you know putting out uh you know 50 million
gloff gloff blocks to you know the one from the first one let's just let's just say let's just
say one for the first one was clearly a draft dodger these ones went through the program they
went through it they said like fuck it i'm going to do the military that guy was trying to get the
out of it in the beginning shot when you see the the the ship uh enter earth's atmosphere it just
says in the back, if you could read this, the bitch fell off
and the Leonard Skinnered one, of course.
But these are like the fancy, yeah, exactly.
It ain't me. It ain't me.
I hate the prisoners.
But yeah, these guys have a cabin, I'm imagining.
A very nice situation.
Oh, exactly, dude.
Yeah, they go back.
There's a huge roaring fire, you know.
Hot tub.
Yeah, this is a company retreat probably.
Exactly.
They're going back to the office on Thursday.
There's a stock ticker.
Oh, look at it.
We said we weren't going to work this weekend, guys.
Come on.
It's all Predator numbers, but it's going up, so that's good.
You know what, but let's watch Wall Street.
Yeah, you're ready, guys?
Yeah, you're ready, guys? This is it finally doing.
Oh, yeah.
Oh. Classic Predator.
Are you supposed to send that email?
String them up.
Just ring them up.
I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of his shit.
I didn't want him to come anyway.
Dead weight.
Now you're going to be literally dead weight.
Guys, I think I hear a human outside.
Let's go skin them.
Come on.
Come on, guys.
Let's go skin them.
All right.
Shock at a beer. You got a lot one go.
Shot gun a beer.
I mean, I guess the only way a predator could drink a beer is by shotgunting it.
The claws would get in there.
It would be tough.
It would be very tough.
I mean, you could just, like, open it traditionally and then, like, kind of lean back and kind of pour it in there, maybe.
A tactical straw.
Around here is when Sonia Braga, or Alice Braga.
Sonia is her aunt.
He's also a famous Brazilian actress.
Yes.
And she does, this is the whole thing about, like, I heard about.
this mission in Guatemala and blah blah blah blah at the same time you've got walton
goggins this is his sole scene of characterization where he's like man if i get back home i'm
going to do so much cocaine and i'm going to rape me some fine bitches and the whole movie goes
i don't think so i mean it's just it's like 2010 we're kind of done with max a magazine
we're about to be done with i was with you the cocaine sure sure the rape stuff how about
make love. How would you make love
to find bitches? And the only thing
that this does is Tofer Grace is like
Oh yeah man like he's clearly
Uncomfortable with it. He's like oh yeah man
It's literally just doing the 70s show shit
Like rape a clock or something
That's a joke and like but isn't
He a nightmare serial killer
That was supposed to be known about or whatever
But I do love the Nicol because he goes and sits down next to
Nikolai after that and he goes
Because he's like polishing his gun or whatever
And he goes you should stay away
from him. And he's like, yeah. It is kind of a nice little funny moment. But again, like,
Tofa Grace is going to be a serial killer in a few minutes and it's really dumb. Okay.
They make him run through. I love this. They make him run his bait right here. They're like,
okay, here's a new thing. They, because he thinks he knows like how many of them are there are,
whatever. He's like, all right, we're going to like kill them one by one. This is the strategy.
You just run because they wait for us to run and then they'll start hunting us. And then
meanwhile, we will fucking hide in the woods and kill this guy. So you can,
kind of see it's kind of like in return
to the Jedi when we're racing through on the speeders
and like the Stormtroopers are on one side
Luke Skywalker's on the other way. You mean the scout troopers?
Oh, pardon me dude. I'll go
jump out the window right now. Thank you. Thank you.
Just put him down. Eric, put him
down. Hey!
What do you do with that sword?
Come on.
But so they run and then
it's this other gleepe-glop
that I guess got dropped down in the cage at some
point. We have to assume. Did you read
the trivia? This is supposed to be, I guess, based
on what the original predator costume
would have been when Jean-Clawn Van Dam
was playing here.
Oh, okay.
Oh, so you say it's an elbow nudging situation.
Yes. Is it going to be a cage match
with all of them?
What are we doing here?
Well, you barely see this fucking thing.
This thing, though, this thing looks like
fucking Groot. It looks like they shot Groot in the head.
It's a tree monster that gets shot in the chest
and you're like, wait, what's that?
And then here come, it's a predator?
No, it's Lawrence Fishburn.
Oh, right, because Alice Braga is like,
oh, I miss.
like she finds her bullet hole in the tree it's like well who killed this thing right and you think maybe a predator and here comes a guy wearing a predator helmet yes and it's Lawrence Fishburn under this thing and you're 78 minutes in and you're in a desert of nothing happening and you're like oh this is exciting and then it's over in a minute it's insane the fact that he like brings everyone back to like this derelict spaceship he's living in yeah derelict set from alien resurrection his ninja turtle layer I did love all his art
Cade games and cigarette machines around those.
But I thought this would...
I thought, well, Larry Fishburn's a character now.
You know, that'd be something.
Use this down ship or whatever.
And maybe we will get this running and get off the planet.
I'm imagining an ending of like the thing.
It's Larry Fishburne and Adrian Brody instead of McCready and...
We should have shed some of this cast by now.
By the time we get to Fishburn, we should be like three people.
Exactly.
They should be killed by predators and killing each other, killing each other.
I and Walton should have been gone by now, I think.
I mean, that's like, I thought this was going to be Tim Robbins and War of the Worlds.
That's what I was waiting for with this.
I was waiting for like more of a deterioration.
Like first, he saves him, but then like, he's like, why am I allowing you guys to stay here?
And you guys are going to make me, like, get killed.
And then he does get killed.
They kind of do that, but it's very, like, he's like talking about, like, he's been here for so long.
And he's like, come on, feel the vibe of this place, which is a very weird line of this movie.
I do like the one line.
I think the first line he gives is like, well, who are you?
And he goes, I'm alive.
Yes.
Which is kind of a cool.
And it's like a horse fucking fishburn.
I know what's going on.
You talk too loud, which is great.
He's also, by the way, the way he's whispering in the beginning.
It's not an accident.
It's very Bill Duke coded.
I'm going to have me some fun.
Oh, have me.
It's a very similar cadence.
I'm sure it informed the performance.
If I can smell you, if I can hear you, they can too.
Yes.
I'm the one that got away.
The one.
you don't fuck with and you know what
we don't see why that's a true statement
no no he starts a little
he starts a little campfire and he waves
it in a vent and then he dies
he gets exploded
that's his entire care yeah he just gets exploded
this is a resident evil death
in this moment here for Larry Fishburn
but he's like smoking him out
don't tease me with Lawrence Fishburn
like it's like it's like
it's like that fucking amateur movie
yes remember the amateur
Lawrence Fishburn's second build
he's in three minutes of the movie
I guess he's
supposed to have gone crazy because
after he leaves him, he gives him food and water.
He goes down to bed. And then he's
like talking to himself. Six more
mouths to feed, this, that, and the other thing.
And the green goblin saying, you have to do it.
You got to smoke a mouth.
Avenge me, Lawrence Fishburn.
Oh, man. If there was just like
an unexplained, like,
Willem Defoe head, like above
that, like an devil on his shoulder.
Or that could have been a predator trophy.
Show me the role that green goblin
mask. I got a pumpkin bomb down
that they'll turn to skeletons.
Here's the thing.
I don't think if you
killed and
stripped the flesh off
and bleached the skulls
of 10 actors,
I wouldn't know who is who.
I would be able to tell you
which one's Willem Defoe's skull.
I guarantee you, I would be like,
that's Wilhelm de Foe's right there.
Him and Charlton Heston
easily pick up.
See, you think there's fangs.
There's not fangs.
I know what you're thinking.
He's just a guy.
He's just a guy.
He's just a guy.
You can narrow it down.
It's the weirdest one.
Exactly.
The teeth are...
I feel...
Yeah, I might be a fucking werewolf.
Oh, man.
All right.
So, which skull would you be able to identify?
None of them.
Uh, Krasinski.
Oh, John Krasinski?
Because I would just be like,
Why am I so fucking annoyed?
It's tilted facing the camera.
It's like smug.
To smug skull.
I don't know if we should be talking about how we can identify skulls, by the way.
I'm not advocating for this.
What, you're sitting over there are the pair of calipers in your hair.
I don't have a doctorate yet.
It's not...
It's not phrenology.
we're not saying they're smarter or anything
I know who skull is witch
that's all. It's probably the weird face. It's just the
shapes. We're just interested in the shape. Do you think
if the kids come back like two years after
the fact they'll be able to identify Jody Comer's
skull and 28 years later?
Quite possibly, yes. That's why he put it up
so I. He's like, all right, if mom's the fucking angel
on the tree here, I always
know where to look when I visit the graveyard.
Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry, young boy.
Yeah, for some reason
I just, I put
Sam Stein up there.
I don't know why.
Accident.
That one's Willem Dufo's skull.
I can just spot that from a while.
And no, he does not have fangs for the last time.
So Brody wants to know
where this like spaceship is or whatever.
Like that's the whole last movement of this movie is
there's a ship here. We can get out of here.
There's a cool idea of
when when Fishburn is telling him the whole story is like
and there's a ship and then Brody's like,
can you fly?
No, no one can. He's like, I think I can. And he laughs and he laughs and, of course you think
you can. But why? Exactly. Now, if he had worked at Area 51 or something, you gave this character
any background at him. It's just like, I'm so badass. Yeah, I could fly anything. This is also,
we find out that the Yakuza guy has lost a couple of fingers from talking too much. That's,
that's his thing. And I'm like, I forgot you were in the movie. Exactly. And I think by the time
he does the katana fight with a predator
the movie forgot he has got
no fingers. How is he gripping
this sword so well? I don't know how he's gripping the thing
as well as he does, but also
what's really dumb here, but it's actually
it's not dumb, it's an interesting thing that
they dumbly sort of, the movie
isn't interested in, but
Hattari is the guy's name, just like
Hattori Hanzo. No, it's actually Hanzo. Yes, Hanzo is the
guy's name, just like Hattori Honson.
But he finds that
sword at that one point and he's like,
Oh, this is very, very old.
They've clearly been doing this for a long time, much like the animated thing.
Yep.
And I'm like, I don't, why don't you investigate that a little bit?
You can't just fucking say that and stop it.
Come on, come on.
Stop teasing this shit.
Or, you know, go full silly with it.
Have a skeleton in an Elvis jumpsuit.
They're like, oh my God, it's Elvis.
That's what happened.
Yeah, he didn't die on the toilet.
He was abducted off the toilet.
There was just too many of them in Vegas, okay?
There were so many of them.
impersonators, you don't understand. I'm going to huck these peanut butter and
peanut butter peanut butter and banana sandwiches. And bacon. You have to add bacon to it too.
Oh, God. The predator abducts him. He's white. He's white. He's white. He's white. Oh, that's a funny
part of that very good movie. It is a great movie. So Brody right here in this moment
like shoots out part of the ship and they're like, you missed. And he's like, I wasn't aiming for you. And the
Predators see the explosion.
He's like, I'm calling the Calvary is the fucking line he's got, which is terrible.
The funniest thing, though, is before Lawrence Fishburne is exploded by this predator,
he fucking walks down this hallway, and he's this big predator, and he goes, you finally
found me, hey, big dog?
He calls this Predator Big Dog!
And then it's all from behind, because it's just a cartoon of a man.
You don't even see Larry Fishburn's face.
It just explodes into video game guts.
You only had two days.
You couldn't do anything with, like, actual practical blood or, like, we're not going to put them on a rig or have them, like, a last...
We can't get them dirty because it's going to take too much time to clean them up, and we don't have that.
Actually, I got to meet Arnold and Danny at the bar, so...
Yeah, we're going to the after-hours place. Come on, Larry.
Don't tell Adrian where we...
Do not tell Adrian where we go.
No nerds.
Son of a bitch. They've already gotten to the flights.
All right, yeah, we got to wrap up here.
Larry, you're cool. I'll let you know. Don't tell anyone else.
Larry, real quick, this is me
Los Angeles board, Nimrod Antal.
I just have a quick question for you.
Are Arnold and Danny planning to sneak off the island
and screw us on this shoe?
No, no, they'll be in tomorrow.
They said they will be here first thing in the morning.
Let me ask you, were you in King of New York?
If not, then we don't listen to you.
Larry, let's go.
Yeah, so he's fucking exploded.
He's dead.
And then this is, this is the.
dead stop of the movie. Like, I was
already out, like I said,
pretty much when the Predators showed up, but this is
where everything stops dead. We're
just walking through fucking hallways
of this ship. Yes.
Endlessly. And like, again,
if that's the case, every
time we see somebody they're getting picked off. Like, you know
what I mean? Yes. In an interesting
way. No, we can't do that, apparently.
This must be the Texas shot
portion. Yes. Yeah. Absolutely is.
Yeah, this is all Robert Rodriguez's backyard.
Yes, exactly. It's just,
There's no definition to any of these spaces.
It'd be one thing if you actually paid money
to really flesh out what this interior of the ship is.
Maybe we go to the cockpit.
We can't get started.
We got to go out and get some.
We got to go like fucking hotwire.
We got to do something.
We got to push it anything to contextualize what this ship even is.
I kind of understand the instinct to be like,
are we in the jungle the whole time?
I'd like to see some close combat predators in like a corridor situation.
You had nondescript jungle.
here's nondescript ship.
Exactly.
And then like,
Tofer Grace is like,
I'm trapped in this area, guys.
Come help.
By the way,
don't tell Tofer Grace.
I'm not signing any autographs for nerd.
I don't understand this part right here.
He gets himself separated, right?
And then they're just literally like six inches away.
It's like there was like a little column
that sort of tilted over.
I was like, someone just lifted up.
They all look at him like, sorry.
And just keep walking.
And I was like, no, no, no.
Just move that thing out of the way.
I think they're tired of him.
and then of course
it's like an Ed Wood set
you can easily move that thing out of the way
and like it looks like
because again we keep doing this thing
where it's like oh my God
is the band breaking up
and like of course they are
because nobody likes each other
because they're all criminals and murderers
and then like of course
he has to save his twink
the beloved Russian comes back
and saves him in the last minute
poor Nikolai gets got right here though
the predator fucking gets him
he gets stabbed through the chest a little bit
oh then he explodes himself though
He's got some, yeah, he's got some bombs on him.
And in Russian, he references the first movie.
Oh, really?
He tells him he has an ugly face.
Oh, I was waiting.
You are one ugly motherfucker.
They couched it and they hit it in Russian.
Because I was expecting Adrian Brody to sit at the end.
And I was like, I'm going to fucking walk out of my own living room right now.
I'm going to leave my family.
So that dude's dead.
And apparently they've been climbing up.
So is the predator as well, right?
Yeah, the predator gets blunt because he's like hugging him or whatever.
Now, which one was this?
Was this tracker?
Oh, this was soft, sir.
Was it Tinker Taylor Soldier's spy?
Who was this one?
It was the winter soldier, dude.
I'm Tank, the predator that nobody gives a shit.
And I'm Dozer, his brother, the predator.
Like it a nut, you son of a bitch, you're still going to...
So around here, this is what's annoying, right?
Because we have not...
It's kind of...
like this movie
knew that it had a big project
due on Monday and did nothing
about it the whole week, right through the weekend
did fucking nothing. And then it's Sunday
night and they were like, oh no, we haven't
killed any of these characters. The movie's
almost over. The projects do. We got to start
killing people. Oh shit. We forgot to
form bonds with these characters and
nor relationships. Ooh, dang.
Can someone have chemistry with anyone
else? The thing is it's like it's Braga
and Brody. I don't even think
they got juiced together. No, they don't. No. They don't.
I'm not saying they have to be romantically entwined
But can we have some
Someone that people that seem like they go to gather
Thank you
I mean, Nikolai is the only one that seemed human in this fucking
Definitely yeah
None of that
But what if Walton Goggins
Does a gay slurred a predator
How does that treating you?
Dude, I wrote down
Did he just call him a space F word?
He sure did.
I think I would rather watch space F word than this movie.
I have it.
Oh no, there's an alien.
Better have sex with it.
John Waters strikes a hell out of that.
But this is where he like jumps on it and starts shiving it.
Who's your daddy now, motherfucker?
And it's just like, presumably he was in prison for other crimes and the shiv thing.
It's just so it's just so archetypal like that's what a prisoner does.
Right.
He was in prison and on the FBI top 10 for a pen in the song, Cotton Eye Joe.
Oh, rednecks with a Z.
He was part of the Rednecks gang.
with an ex
I wonder if that guy
ever got married
what the rednex guy
well because as the song
had it not been for
cotton I Joe he would have been married
a long time ago
but he didn't
all I can think about
when I hear that song
is James McAvoy
yelling at a kid
so there you go
what in what is that
what was that
last year
what was it was the remake
speaking of evil
speaking of evil
oh that's why I refuse to see it
because it was just a direct
English language remake
of a
do they not use
Cotton Nijo in the original
I don't believe
believe so.
I feel like that would have made a stamp.
Is it when they're doing their little choreograph dance?
Yeah.
I don't remember if it's the original was British, right?
Swedish.
Something not English language.
Oh, you're right, you're right.
But it's, that is burned into my brain.
Him just yelling at a kid for not doing Cotton Night Joe dance enough.
It's pretty funny.
All right.
Who has seen the original of that movie?
It's, but I forget it completely.
All right.
Well, I just wanted to know if the ending was the same as the original, which I can't imagine.
I have not seen a universal picture.
I read about it.
It's not.
Oh, it's all.
It would almost have to not be.
Yeah.
Anyway.
But so that, but then.
So space F word.
Space F word.
But then, he's, uh, took acting lessons from Kelly Rowland, I guess.
Oh, wow.
Oh, baby.
Damn.
Alien versus predator, Freddy versus Jason.
Uh, but then he gets mortal combated, which is pretty cool.
Dude, this is really something.
This is Walton Gotkins right here, dude.
this fucking dude like you're peeling each shrimp this fucking skull and spine comes out i mean better
late than never exactly it's an hour 15 in let's fucking start ripping some skulls all right
the trophies dude where are the fucking trophies you left nikolai laying around we just had this
big cool action scene right we got some skull spine ripping we got a russian guy exploding himself
and a predator pretty cool better stop everything dead to have a quiet sword fight in a field
with this other Predator and
our fucking Hanso guy right here.
It's like a fan film in the middle of the movie.
It certainly is. Dude, it is
the movie stops dead to show
you a like five minute proof of
concept film for a Predator Samurai movie.
It's 2010. This was the
this was by this point in
human history.
Every single
American under 25
was obsessed with swords
and Japanese people and that we needed it.
I don't really want to fight this guy
but I do want his
skull.
All right, fine.
Boy, wait a second.
I don't know if I want to skin this guy alive.
Look at those cool back tattoos he has.
And what do you know that the Japanese sword fighting is so good?
They both die.
Wow.
And it's just like obviously like we're doing a lot.
Falconer has fallen.
It was a nice shot of the,
the predator blood coming out of him from above.
I did appreciate that at least.
I would say if I was in the fucking editing bay,
hey, let's cool it with the pan flute.
Let's just let's fucking relax with the pan flute
Those should have been a guy off screen doing it
You look at this
We have 50 different pan flute
Look at all these pan flutes we got in here
Wow, so many pan flutes
They've been doing this for a long time
This one here, this is 12 minutes long
You wouldn't fucking believe you, you heard that one
And it's like if you really
That's the thing is the scope is almost too big
Of all these characters
is if you just had that guy
and you wanted to play it up
as like a samurai kind of thing
and you have the pan flute type of score
throughout the entire film.
Exactly.
Sure.
Yeah.
But just to do it once
is very like, okay.
Ridiculous.
They both die.
They both die.
The final movement of the movie here,
Tofer Grace Dunst stepped in a bear trap.
Jesus Christ.
And again, yet again,
we have to be like, are we going?
I do love that Adrian Brody's first thing.
Okay, cool.
It's booby trap.
I'm like, totally.
And I'm glad that it does happen eventually.
because I was like, that's a really good idea.
Yeah, I would love that.
He's just like strapping shit to him.
He does eventually, yeah.
In that moment, it would be cool.
Because you know what?
Before that moment is before he's revealed to be a serial killer for no reason.
Do you have enough dynamite to reach all the way around him?
I need that many.
It would make the Roy's character cooler if you saw him strapping these grenades onto Tofer Grace
instead of trying to make that another twist.
These were all complimentary grenades from Jaja.
This is where Brody finds this predator.
tied up
it's this big thing
where Alice Braga
it's the big emotional
scene of the movie
where she's like
emotional?
Oh it's so
unsuccessful
I skipped right over it
It's I will
I will
sacrifice myself
for this other guy
that I just met
I'm gonna fucking
alien hell world
and I'm going to make sure
I'm gonna walk slowly
with him
so he doesn't die
alone question mark
any much
and then like
Adrian Brody's like
well see you later
like oh wow
he's like a bad dude
I got it
I've seen this scene
three times
already.
Yes.
He's like, I'm going to go get the other guy's ship.
And then he goes, this is what he's like, you take
me to ship?
Ship, brr, into space.
Brum, brum.
Earth.
It's just so dumb.
You might as well be trying to, this,
you know what, it's the same kind of dumb
as watching Chris Pratt talk to those
raptors and those drastic world.
Yes.
It is the same kind of stupid.
Blue.
Blue, you listen to me now.
Exactly.
Because by that third one, that fucking thing
speaks fluent English with him, I swear to God.
I love you so much, Chris Pratt.
What another game of cards?
They then
Our slow walking duo
Will they just get caught in a darn predator net, don't they?
Oh, they do, and they fall into a trap.
And again, I didn't see this coming because I didn't care to.
You know what I mean?
He just cuts her neck with, I think,
probably whatever.
Earlier on,
he's like,
this plan will paralyze you
and yada,
yada,
yada.
Yeah.
And it's just,
he starts doing that thing
that we do in bad movies
where the guy was one way,
but now he's a bad guy
and he's talking totally different.
Give the lady a prize.
Yeah.
It's bad.
And it's just like the second that happened,
like you can smell it a mile away.
You know exactly what it is
from the first like instance of it happening.
And I was like,
oh no.
You're primal fearing.
You're totally primal fearing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's even worse because they clearly either they weren't happy with this Tophic grace performance
or they didn't know what to do because they just have it through her eyes and his voices modulated.
And he's like, you didn't realize that I was the worst one of them all.
And I'm like, this is the emotion.
This is the end of the movie.
You can't modulate this.
No, no.
I have to be hearing what this is because it already makes little to no sense as is.
How would that win against the predator?
Exactly.
You'd have a friend of him and then slip him a neurotoxone?
You're saying it's a surprise.
But Adrian Brod had called this like 45 minutes ago.
He was on top of this from the get-go.
Also, something like this makes sense.
If you have a pre-established set of rules at the beginning of this,
much like the Hunger Games where the predators are like,
you will have a chance to survive.
The last of you is the one that's left alive.
Then, like, there's motivation for him to fucking kill her in this moment or whatever.
But no, not of that.
Aldish, you said we could eat the children.
Aldus, just, no, don't you go back on it.
I know your shit.
No, we get to eat the children
Adrian Brody cuts this dude down
He shows him a hologram of
The alien shows him a hologram of Earth
Sets the car
To Earth, like
Yes
Whatever predator drone drive
The Garmin, you get the
Yeah, the fucking engine fires up
He's doing it all from like
Get in, loser, we're going to Earth
So that's all
Going on
While this predator fight is happening
So like the guy just gets the engine to turn over
and then like Alpha Predator comes out of nowhere
and they have this predator fight
which I guess is kind of fine
but I have already given up on this movie entirely.
I did not give a shit.
But a predator headbutting another predator.
Like headbutting him so hard that his helmet falls off.
And then there's a decapitation, right?
There's something like that.
It's great.
He beats the big berser.
I think the end is berser predators.
Sure, of course it is.
Of course it is.
He takes the mask off Classic Predator.
Classic Predator looks like he was hosting
the Kids Choice Awards.
He's got, like, all this predator blood all over him.
He's got slived.
He's doing, it's real tough.
It's a real tough afternoon for this guy.
I just got done awarding Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gostring.
But he gets killed and it's like, oh, no, that was the predator I liked or something.
Oh, no, that was classic.
God cares.
The ship takes off.
We get this rise of Skywalker fake-ass Chewbacca death, you know, where, like, the ship fucking explode.
Like, the predator, like, I don't know.
Alpha Predator looks up.
He goes, ship's taken off, beep boop, self-destructs it.
And I'm like, there's no way Adrian Brody was on.
Like, he's last seen approaching the ship, you know, kind of a cool image here.
Little guy, big ship kind of deal.
But it says his tiny little legs wasn't strong enough to jump to the ship.
Couldn't get up there.
He couldn't get up there.
Well, yeah, you're just like, all right, well, that ship blew up.
So he's clearly like going to come in at the last second here and save her.
He didn't get on or whatever.
And wouldn't you know?
Yeah.
And there he is.
And they still walk out.
out of here together. Brody does it
cool because Christopher
Tofer Grace does his
he tries to revert because
Bragg is fucked up on the drugs and can't
talk and it's like he stops
being crazy just in the nick of time
so like Brody doesn't know what's going on
or at least that's what he thinks or whatever and he gets
into the please don't kill me or whatever and it's
this great Brody I won't
it's that but the Predator will line
pretty cool. He then
straps him with a bunch of grenades
Predator is about to get him. He
blows up but he's not dead
and here comes Brody
jacked out of his skull
come on kill me kill me
remember that yes and he's covered in mud
now because she
told him how the first movie was she saw it
on a flight or something
but then the predator can sense his heartbeat
or something he's like hiding behind a tree
and the predator can hear the heartbeat
yeah and then somehow Brody
understands that he can hear the heartbeat
oh shit gets out of the way
right before he's assassinated here
And then they just fight each other.
I think he used this big, he's got a big old fucking crazy machete himself.
He's got a big guy sword here and he jacks it right into the predator's chin and really kills this thing.
Now let's find a way off of this planet.
What's that?
A thousand other parachutes.
I guess it's another season of the tournament.
Yes, it's like everything is continuing.
You're seeing parachutes and little cargo things dropping down.
But yeah, now let's find a way off this fucking planet.
I mean, there will never be a sequel to this.
Predators, too, not so much.
No, it did not happen.
But they really wanted it to.
I mean, this movie does not have an ending.
It does not.
Cue little Richard, by the way,
because remember that from the first one.
Exactly, that's what they were listening to
on the way into the jungle.
So, you know, just this is one of those,
it's a hundred and six minutes
of a commercial for,
wouldn't you rather be watching Predator?
It's better than it's.
But that is the end of the movie, man.
We'll go around the horn for some
Final Thoughts, Eric Siska.
Yeah, it's a big no for me.
I do not like this.
The thing is it's got an interesting start, and that's all it has.
And then it doesn't have an ending to what you were just saying.
It's just, it's an incomplete.
I'm going to write that on Nimrod's homework.
I've liked his other, I've liked two of his other movies, at least pretty well.
Dude, even retribution is better than this, and it's Liam Neeson sitting in a car.
It was a big disappointment to me in 2010.
It's a big disappointment to me in 2025, hikes.
Did you just see this in theaters?
I don't know
I forget if I saw it in theaters or not
but I definitely saw it
around release
if it wasn't
if it wasn't theaters
there was definitely some type
of nefarious internet thing
that I said the way
speaking of nefarious internet activity
Chris Cabin
that's you know
when I saw the first time
I definitely liked it more
when I saw it in theaters
and this coming back to it
I'm just like kind of like
indifferent to it
like I don't know what to
like I genuinely am like
if you are a predator head
if you really like
these creatures and like this the world
I suppose you should see it
because it is a interesting version
the story is an interesting
idea that I can give
you but as the boys have pointed out
even at an hour of 47 minutes which
is supposed to be a nice quick runtime
this thing is a slog
it's a drag this thing fucking takes a long time
to get going and again like the
mystery doesn't really work the Gore
is nice but it's all in the back
it's very much kind of
like if it was in the background I wouldn't be
pissed off, but that's about it for me.
Steve Saneck. Yeah, it just
seems like this was like, I mean, because
apparently Rodriguez had this script in the 90s
and then
like, sent it to Fox and then
years and years later like, hey, we want to do it.
And then like they rewrote it and all this stuff.
I'm not going to say that Robert Rodriguez's initial script
was better, but it just sort of seems like
this is clear like six different.
I would imagine it was. Six different
ideas. None of them done well.
Like the idea of like the Twilight Zone
five characters in a room search of where,
an exit deal is a cool
idea and then like with a smattering
of predator like you know what I mean I would
even rather up the human drama
yeah yeah exactly
it's a hellraiser situation
like it's you had a script that's like this
cool mystery thing and then you also
then put in credit I mean it's not hard to do it's a rag tag
team you have you haven't turned the tables on the
predators a few times they're celebrating one night
you know you build you make
the camaraderie happen and they refuse
to engage with their characters no
it's really it's an incredibly
unsatisfying movie and
it's got a great cast. I mean, fucking
there's three Oscars between
in this cast alone. Two-day
Rodney won to Marisha Ali. But
still. Still, no, it's something.
No, big disappointment here.
Like I said, I was, I was geared
in for the first 45. I was like,
what? Okay. Because I
had already seen Eric's half-star
thing and I was like, oh, what is he
talking? I was like, okay. But then I was
like, oh, now I get it. Like, as the movie went on.
I will say, though, before this new
movie comes out, I do want to complete the franchise
and watch 2018's The Predator
Shane Black. Not to be confused with
Letterbox just told me, 2007's
The Predator, directed by Stormy
Daniels. Okay. And if I may,
plot description,
sick, twisted, depraved.
She has been called them all, but
most refer to her simply as the
predator as she prowls the night
looking for new additions to her
collection. Danny Glover's
that?
But yeah, I would not
recommend this one. I would say if you haven't, go back, check out 87, check out
Predator 2.
Pray. Pray. I love prey. I still haven't seen pray. I'm going to try and watch it before Badlands
comes out for sure. Love pray. Yeah. So we'll see. I do still have a slimmer of hope
in my eye for this new one, but I do not know. But definitely, unless you're like a predator
completist or something, this is an unfortunate waste of time. But it wasn't an unfortunate
waste of time talking about it and having a good time today. But that is our episode.
episode on Predators.

shit going on on the Gleap Glossary
where you're talking about Bawthin lover
Gavin Darklighter,
which is a relative to
Biggs Darklighter and yes, he gets romantically
involved with a Bawthin.
That's right. So you're going to want to tune in for that.
That was last Friday that came out.
along with last Thursday we had this month's
animation damnation on Tiny Tune
Adventures. It's a
plucky centric episode, a fun one.
Fun one. A lot of celebrity
quote impressions and quote
in that episode. And Chris Cabin, what was
going on on Melro 210 this one? Well, much like
there was alien shit going on in the Star Wars.
There's human shit going on in the
Is that right? A lot of
human shit. Some predators too
in that show. Yeah, I was going to say
Joe's baby is being looked at
like a fucking hot meal by him.
So we might not know what's happening next.
Australian Chris also being a bit of a predator in the hotel room.
Turns out he is the king among the mall.
He's the godfather, it seems like.
Yeah, but a lot of fun on that, a lot of fun at 902 and O, you know.
Absolutely.
But as always, here on We Hate Movies next Tuesday, a brand spanking new episode.
We'll drop Steve Zadek.
What classic film are we talking about next week?
Next week will be the first time I've watched this sober.
It's Tron.
No promises on the S-word.
and we'll see when you're watching.
I don't know about that.
I've seen it sober once before
because I was a child when I first saw it.
And then since then, nothing but
ooh, baby.
Absolutely.
It's going to be a big old fun episode talking about
that super fun-ass movie Tron.
And until then, I've been Andrew Juppin.
Steven Say that.
Eric Siska.
Chris Gavin.
Take it easy.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
