Starting point is 00:00:00 How are you all this evening, how are you all this evening? Good. All right, this is like, all we have to do a lot of this. swivel chairs. All right, you take them. I'll go over here. Steve. My name is Andrew Jupin. I'm Eric Siska. Stephen Sadek. And we are, we hate movies from New York City. Thank you for welcoming us, Chicago. This is our third time in your fine town, and we're happy to be back. Now, this evening, we were talking about a film called Predator 2. Has anyone seen Predator 2? A great movie. Want to get that out in front?
Starting point is 00:01:02 I like it. I like it. I've heard it's okay to like a movie. I've heard you say that once. Turns out someone says that every now and again. Now this is from the magical year of 1990. But the secret 1997? It's like it's a fake alternate 1997. That's my first question about this.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Why the future? I think Time Cop fucked up. You think this is Time Cop's fault? I think it's in the Time Copaverse. I, yeah, when Ron Silver merges into himself, this is the ramification. It's an ultimate future where predators are around. But so wait a second. He's just around.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Does Predator One exist in the world of TimeCup? Yeah. I'm just trying to follow your logic threat. Well, look, in TimeCup, there's a crazy government program for time travel. And in Predator, there's a crazy predator hunting program. So, I don't know. I was talking about secret government swine. Swaps.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Exactly. Now, this movie, it's directed by a guy named Stephen Hopkins. I wanted to bring this up because he's directed a lot of bad movies. Under suspicion,
Starting point is 00:02:10 which is one of the worst Morgan Freeman movies you'll ever get in your life. A bucket list, right? I said one of the worst Morgan Freeman slash Gene Hackman movies you'll ever get in your life. It's my new, like,
Starting point is 00:02:23 New Year's resolution is to make fun of bucket list every day? Is it your New Year's resolution from like, years ago? 365 days of bucket list jokes. So, well, I'll look out for those. Lost in space.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Blown away, which is a we love movie situation. The Ghost in the Darkness where Val Kilmer hunts a lion with Michael Douglas. That's a movie that would be better if they turned into lions at the end. Like that would be like the twist. It's like oh shit, they were lions the whole time.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Wear cats. Yeah. Oh, wear cats. It's like the Ghost in the Darkness Island of Dr. Moro's crossover movie. Nightmare and Elm Street 5, who cares? And then as recently as this year, the Jesse Owens movie Race, which I didn't know
Starting point is 00:03:10 if you know this, but that title means two things. Oh. Because he's running and he's a black guy. So that's they were... So anyway, so Predator 2. This has one of the most like, remember the first movie shots? Like the first shot. It's like jungle. And you're like, oh, I remember the jungle.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Dutch and the jungle. And then it's like the helicopter comes over. Nope, the jungle of Los Angeles. Oh, asphalt jungle. Right, because that's what you've got to do, right? To step up the sequel, you've got to set it in the big city. It's kind of, I was hoping that Schwartz and Inger would be in this. I never saw this movie, like, growing up or anything.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I just saw it for the show. And, like, why can't, like, it just be, like, Arnold on vacation? And, uh-oh, predator again. I can't believe I got out of the jungle alive. Now it's time to go to Club Med. Another predator. Oh, it's my daughter's wedding day. I hope nothing spoils it.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Oh, no, a predator. You look so beautiful, Elizabeth. Oh, no, the predator. If it was still Los Angeles, though, you could rip off diehard. Oh, come to the coast. Have a few laps. No one told me to be a fucking predator here again. Now, not only is this the future.
Starting point is 00:04:19 It's also, like, dystopian. Like, L.A. is a war zone, it turns out. That's a bad problem, too. Yeah, everybody's got, like, Judge Dreadguns for some reason. It's like a block war. I think this is also in the Dredaverse. Oh, wow. Whoa, now you're starting to blow my mind.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Right? There's a lot of stuff crossing. God cop really fucked up. He really should have checked himself. Hashtag thanks, Ron Silver. So we're introduced to Danny Glover in this movie. And we find out that Danny Glover, I think, is the best cop in the history of Los Angeles Police Department. Or the worst, depending on who you ask.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You know, because he's a bad dude. He's rude and he's got an attitude. but he gets the job done though is the thing yeah that's the that's the ironic part so none of the other stuff matters it's the job done they go through his thing it's like oh he's got oCD a history of excessive violence and he's destroyed he's personally destroyed 11 cars you're hired is it a thing where like he's just a bad driver yeah what is the what did they give the context for destroying 11 cars is that just a fender bender was it one accident that's the thing, like a freeway pile of.
Starting point is 00:05:29 I don't believe in turd signals. Or something to that effect. But this is my question, though. It's like, why isn't it, like, why isn't the predator good enough for it, right? Why is it also this dystopian future where gang warfare runs supreme? Well, that's, there's two movies. The first movie is like this weird gang thing that just kind of fizzles out when everybody dies by like minute 49. And then we're just...
Starting point is 00:05:55 That's how you win the war on drugs. Yeah, that's true. Oh, get a predator in there. He'll fix it right up. That's why I think the predator is kind of like the unsung hero of this movie because he wipes out the Colombian drug gang and the Jamaican voodoo gang.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah. Thank you for saying a lot. For talking along with that one because we all felt uncomfortable saying it. Apparently the voodoo gang is about to seize the West Coast. The entire coast, the whole thing. That's a lot to lose. I thought you had something.
Starting point is 00:06:29 No, I almost... I almost... Are you just hungry or just eating the microphone? Yes. So this is one of my favorite things in the movie, so it's like the world is crumbling around us, but the newscasters are still out in the streets. These are the real heroes,
Starting point is 00:06:44 including the one woman who has the realization on the air, all fuck it and runs away. This lady's got the right idea. Run away from Predator 2. Morton Downey Jr. runs towards the action, he's a hero. Yeah, you guys remember Morton Downey Jr., right? Anybody's 60 in the audience?
Starting point is 00:07:03 He was like Jerry Springer, but worse. Well, he's got his show, hardcore. Yeah, hardcore. It's like hard copy, but even worse. And I think he's just, he's running a series on The Predator. Is that what's going on? He followed it from South America? Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Oh, that could be. Also, how was he not chain smoking? That was his whole gimmick. Oh, yeah. I think he just loved smoke. He was smoking on the talk show. He's acting, though, now. So this character does it.
Starting point is 00:07:29 So he's not actually Morton Downey Jr. No, no. He's Tony Pope. Tony Pope. That's the name of the character, yeah. Oh, I miss that. That's a Catholic name, Anthony Pope. End of sentence.
Starting point is 00:07:44 So Danny Glover basically saves the day with this drug deal, drug war, gang war situation. By destroying a car. By destroying another car. That makes a dozen. I think the next one's free. but the Predator takes out this gang in the hideout and like Predator is like impressed with Danny Glover's performance like we go back to Predator Cam
Starting point is 00:08:06 because we're all waiting for that again, Predator Vision and he's just like Danny Glover's really taking out these guys that is a formidable opponent for me to take on later in the movie well yeah because in the first movie he's just hunting down this group of special ops agents and like eventually has a rivalry with Arnold Schwarzeninger just by necessity. In this one he's kind of in love
Starting point is 00:08:24 with Danny Glover like he's just kind of got a crush on him like a killing crush like that's pretty good killing I'm a good looking predator you know like I kill people that guy's pretty good shape he's good at killing people I just don't know what the motivation is here because in the jungle you get it because he's got to survive
Starting point is 00:08:40 and he takes out the team sure this is like why are you centering in in this one situation why is he taking out the cops maybe the predators want to have their own gang taken over there oh wow yeah that's something they don't re-elaborate on maybe that was the situation they're just trying to take over the H trade this movie Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:08:56 Yes, I think they're trying to hustle in on that sweet Mexican brown. That's the idea. Well, spaceships are good to smuggle, right? And they got cloaking ability. Yeah, absolutely. They would actually make the best drug dealer. They just put their little cloak on, right? That's what Hans Solo did.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Was he? He was a famous drug runner. Yeah. Yeah. Spice. Yeah. Spice. Yeah, I love that in the Star Wars universe. Apparently, it's still Christopher Columbus time. like you have to travel move spice around right that's how they found tattooing they were trying to go somewhere else
Starting point is 00:09:32 they were trying to go to dantuweed oh yeah oh big mistake so here's my question and i don't know if we ever have an answer to it but what is with the predator uh stripping his kills nude and just leaving them for people it's fucking humiliating no it's like when you you kill a mammal like a deer or whatnot You take its pelts. Yeah. He does that. Sometimes it's clothes. Sometimes it's skin.
Starting point is 00:10:01 He's just taking a bunch of gap sweaters. I think if you dye clothed, he just takes your clothes. But if you die naked, which some people do, he takes your skin. Some people in the movie mean some people in general just die nude. Well, both. Both, right? Yeah. I don't understand how he has time to string this guy up.
Starting point is 00:10:21 It seems really inefficient. Like, because he, you know, he's, like, running away from Danny Glover, but he's like, but I got to fucking string this guy up. You know what I mean? Like, he just needs to leave his calling card. Well, that's when you commit to a calling card. Yeah. You got to commit 100% or else it's not a calling card.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Then you're leaving confusion among the trail, right? Like, if you're hanging nude men from the ceiling, every time you're killing them, it's like, this one is still the predator. So he's got an M.O., so he's like a technically a serial killer, right? Yeah. Yeah. He's like, he's an alien serial killer. He's like an eight-foot Ted Bundy.
Starting point is 00:10:55 He is huge. He is really big. Yeah. Played by the same dude from Predator 1. Right. And wasn't this also the dude from Harry and the Henderson? Oh, I think it might be. I think it might be.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Yeah, someone said, yeah, that confirms it. We're going to be crowdsourcing a lot. Yeah, yeah. May I imagine if Harry was stringing people up. Oh, then John Lithgow really wouldn't have had a problem saying goodbye to him. He was different. Like is the weak point on the big foot was his nose And just slapping him with that newspaper
Starting point is 00:11:25 Is what you defeat him It's like how sharks get dolphins Go on, predator, we don't need you here He's just like trying to get him to go Go on predator, go back in the woods Sure So Danny Glover thinks that there's just some sort of other gang in town Like there's a new person trying to move in
Starting point is 00:11:45 And what's going on But he sees the like invisible predator And he's like, what the fuck? the first, like in the first scene. Yeah, but listen, he's a guy who needs definitive concrete evidence. Yeah, that's fair. He's a detective. He's not immediately jumping to aliens. Speaking of aliens, Gary Busey's in this movie, right?
Starting point is 00:12:04 He sure is. He's playing Keys, who's like this secret government guy who's got a team of his own, complete with Adam Baldwin. Internet toilet Adam Baldwin's in this movie. And Gary Bucie gets right in, and it's like a jurisdiction thing. And it's all like, you're going to get out of here, Danny Glover. We're stepping in right now and taking over this operation.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Apparently, he works for the DEA. That's a cover, though, I think. Yeah, it's drug enforcement and aliens. They switch that over? Yeah, it's like the ATF. There's an and in there. Oh, great, now I've got to deal with aliens too. Bad enough, I've got to enforce drugs in this post-apocalyptic world.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Well, it's all intersecting right now. It's like the perfect storm. Actually, you're totally right. he's seen this coming right I've been saying it for years change that agency to alien well I guess again
Starting point is 00:12:58 if Mulder and Scully also had to deal with drugs that'd be a lot really difficult right it would be a lot really difficult good night everybody so the power struggle begins and it's keys and he comes in he's like now it's my keys party he's part of a secret
Starting point is 00:13:17 government organization fine. All of his guys have symbols on their shirts. So, like, when you have a secret shadow government organization, you definitely want a cool logo. You want to let people know who are in the know that that's cool. It's because he likes saying to people when
Starting point is 00:13:33 they're like, hey, what's on your jacket? He's like, I don't know. Wouldn't you like to know? His whole fucking thing, this, the first act half of the movie, he's like, you have no idea what you're dealing with. Like every, no matter what, Danny Glover's truth, you just don't know what you're dealing with. You have no idea what you're dealing with.
Starting point is 00:13:51 But he should know, like, he's got the file on this guy and the chief who's like a C-grade Kurt Russell. And this guy is like, you know, Danny Glover, you got it back off. Now, we know your rage problems and your multiple car accidents. But you got to back off because it's Keys party time,
Starting point is 00:14:07 right? And Danny Glover's like, I thought that meant something else. But you should know that he's not going to back down. He's got his team of Maria Conchita Alonzo. Yep, Bill Paxton's in this movie? A young scrappy Bill Paxton? Everyone's calling him a kid and he's 39 years old.
Starting point is 00:14:28 And it's like, okay, he's mildly younger than Danny Glover, but you just can't call me kid. Well, maybe it's like he's got less experience on the force. Sure. So it's still like a rookie kind of just like, eh, eh, eh, just like breaking his balls kind of a thing. Possibly. And then Ruben Blades is the other team making up this Danny Glover super team. Yeah, Ruben Blades playing Dead Meat in this film. film. You know he's
Starting point is 00:14:51 dead. He's got like a necklace and you're like that's going to be used. Yeah, I'm going to be looking at this bloody necklace hanging from a ceiling soon enough. And this is one of the first predator tricks of people. Like his hunting prowess you know, it's sort of like bird calls. Yeah. You mimic
Starting point is 00:15:07 the voice of people. And I guess he records them or something. Yeah, but is he mimicking with his body? Is that like an alien thing or is it like a gadget thing? I might be a I don't know, it might be a gadget. It's probably a gadget. This guy loves gadget. He does.
Starting point is 00:15:21 But it's also like he only likes dirty words. Like that's, he only, he only likes the swear ones, the best for some reason. But when he, when he takes out Ruben Blades here, he repeats Danny Boy. Yeah, that's right. Somebody calls him Danny Boy. Oh, he used, oh, that's right. He uses it to lure him in. Exactly, exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:40 And then he goes in for the kill with his, like, shredded wrist knife thing that he's got. Well, because the predator breaks up a drug murder in the middle of, a gratuitous sex scene. Oh, yeah. We get to some fucking in this movie. This is fucking. Out of no, there's no fucking in Predator 1. No.
Starting point is 00:15:57 But Predator 2, you better believe there's fucking. It's like fucking on the set of Blade Runner. Although, there might have, I think that Bill Duke and Jesse Ventura were fucking each other in that movie. Oh, sure. They're so in love in that first film. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Hey, Bill, let's take off to the side over here for a quick second. I know we're really scared about the predator, but we must. might have one more night left. Hey, is it cold in this jungle, or is that just me? There might be slash fic about that. I hope so. We should check the internet later.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I don't need to, because it does exist. Yeah, we just made it. We could have gone farther with it, though. That would have been gross. But yeah, so the predator, this sex scene gets interrupted by the Jamaican voodoo gang. Sure. And I think, is the guy's name not, like, Big Willy or something? King Willie.
Starting point is 00:16:50 King Willie's voodoo gang? He was Big Willie, but then he won, so now he's King Willie. Oh, well, if you're going to take over the coast, presumably he should be a king. Yeah, absolutely. Once you get to Washington State, you're the king. You take the entire thing, like, from Mexico. Is Canada safe in this situation, question mark? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I would like to see Predator go up against some Canadians. Sure. Yeah. Why not? That's a completely different movie. Ice Predator. Oh, I guess we get that an AVP. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Oh, do we? Yeah. Oh, yeah, he's in Antarctica or whatever. Is he still wearing a fishnet in that, or is he, like, at least wearing a sweater, a reasonable sweater? Why would the predator need a sweater? Because he's cold. He's walking around in a fishnet. He, he armors his face, and he's hiding it, like, I don't know, like, there's Skeet Ulrich under there. Like, what, what's the, what's the big to do about the mask? I would love if a predator had, like, a reveal, and it was Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard. And then it's just the scream parlor scene.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Well, Predator 3 took an odd twist. So Predator murders this entire drug gang. It's like a bunch of... And here's the thing. We have to see this lady just, you know, like having sex and totally naked. Now, Predators hanging these naked dudes from the ceiling, right? How is there not one dick in this movie? I just want one.
Starting point is 00:18:09 There wasn't a dick? No, zero dicks in this movie. Aside from Gary Busey's character. And Danny Glover is kind of a dick, too. Yeah, like penises in this movie. But the Predator is up to his game. He's got a Xena Batarang thing that he's using this time. He's got a Supernet, which is pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I like the Supernet. The Batterang thing is awesome. It's like that thing of Krull, like that Starfish they toss. Oh, do you think he killed Kroll and took it? Yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely. He went to Kroll times. He goes, he's predatoring everybody.
Starting point is 00:18:40 He could predator Kroll. And I get... I would pay for that. I get that it's like a sequel, so it's like bigger and badder. Presumably these are just the same dudes. Yeah. The same predators, right? Why doesn't that first predator have all this other cool technology?
Starting point is 00:18:55 It's a money issue. He didn't have enough can. He was on like a lesser ship. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He didn't have enough XP points, maybe. It's all like comes down to predator economics. So like this whole room is just skinned naked guys hanging from the ceiling. And like the drug lord is dead.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And Danny Glover's team is walking around still thinking this is just your average old drug gang. People are cut in half. It's like, oh, these drug gangs are getting out of control. And at this point, I would be like, you know what, sir? Maybe we should think, I don't know, intergalactic monster? Maybe just like as a back idea, like back of our head. We still may think it's just another game in town. But also maybe aliens.
Starting point is 00:19:39 For monsters, a were werewolf, possibly. Also, the CSI would figure out that the murderer would have to be eight and a half feet tall. They're like, all right, it's either George Mirosan or a guy. an alien. Was not me. He dead? No. Not yet.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Hey, good. So then Ruben Blades, like, basically Garby's just like, get the fuck out of here. You don't know what you're dealing with. Yeah, I know. I know. And Ruben Blade sneaks back in and, like, grabs like, the Predators, I don't know, fishing hook or something. Like, what? Yeah, he's left some sort of little thing stuck in a wall. And he kills that tiny
Starting point is 00:20:14 man pretty quickly. But it's off-screen. All of the the major characters who die on this, it's all like, no, no, and we cut and it's like, I want to see that guy get murdered. Yeah, I want to see Ruben Blades like get carved up and his skin pulled off. Yeah, or something. If this movie got
Starting point is 00:20:30 this initial NC17 rating, which it did, like show me that shit on a, you know, home video cut. I think it was just because Gary Beasie did like some raunchy stand-up comedy. It's like the whole movie, it happens, and then the NC17 cut is just Gary Bucy in front of a brick wall telling really off-color
Starting point is 00:20:46 jokes. And it's like, NC17. Wow, this is really something. Little Miss Muffet sat on a taffet. Smoking cigarette. Guess what happened next? So, after this, we get a great cemetery scene. I love this scene
Starting point is 00:21:04 where there's little kids at a cemetery. Is he mourning? His parents are like mourning and they're like, you stay in the car, God damn it. You're not going to get out and say goodbye to Grandma. You stay in the station wagon. Yeah, and the kid immediately runs outside eating his kid. Andy playing with his toy gun, and who comes along but a predator, you know.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I heard about that on TV. In this instance, it does work twofold, though, because the kids, like, want some candy, and Predator feels the need to record that. Yeah. And he's like, watch some candy. So it's just, like, this eight-foot creep in a cemetery talking to kids about candy. Yeah, and the kid's kind of, like, freaked out about that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:45 So he runs away, and he was still invisible in this. this thing. Of course he is. Mom, I saw a ghost. Grandpa's ghost offered me candy. So I got to thinking, what if all ghosts were really predators? Oh. Late at night, there's a predator in your room.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Might be. Where you're better there. Might be a predator. Cinematic universe. Patrick Swayze's running around. Predatoring people, as it were. Now I'm thinking of Predator and Demi Moore, like, making a vase. That'd be a lot of fun. That'd be really sensual. You're dead, Willie.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I don't know why he's got esophageal cancer, but that's what this is. It's Predator's Voice Fox. So, I mean, like, basically the first half of this movie is like, oh my God, drug gangs or Predator, and guess what it happened to be the predator the whole time? But at least it's not like you're waiting to find
Starting point is 00:22:36 out. Like, you know it's Predator. Well, that's the thing, though. This movie does that, the annoying sequel thing, where you have to relearn everything again. Like, I know what the predator is. Let's not have him be invisible. I just want him doing stuff. You know what I mean? The only people buying a ticket to Predator 2 are people who saw Predator 1. No one's like, oh, Mother, Predator 2, that sounds fun.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Why don't we check that out on a Sunday afternoon? What? Well, thank God they explained all that to us. I would have been lost. Mother, it's the last time you picked. Terms of Endearment or Predator 2, which are we going to see? Were they in the theaters at the same? I just made that up.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Probably not. Probably not. Maybe Bridges of Madison. Oh, yeah. That was like 94 maybe. Oh, geez. Clint Eastwood should have fought a predator at some point. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Yeah, right? Get off my planet. He finds some way to make a predator slur up. Oh, he would. If anyone would. Yeah, exactly. Why did you call me? That's offensive now.
Starting point is 00:23:46 we know yeah exactly he's also Clint Eastwood's known to talk to invisible people oh my god was a predator in that chair the whole time the predator would be at the Republican National Convention that's exactly where the predator would be I'm playing Barack Obama in my invisible way or something
Starting point is 00:24:12 blah blah taxes blah health care Good one, Predator. Ted Cruz is courting the Predator vote, I think. We do learn... He's a Zodiac Killer. He is. We do learn that the Predator is pro-life.
Starting point is 00:24:33 The Predator is pro-life. And it kind of doesn't make sense because it's just a murderous monster. So Danny Glover's like, all right, we have to go to a slaughterhouse, and it's something, something the predator likes to eat beef a lot? Let's just smooth right over.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I need that scene. I need him chow. Like, after a big hunt, be like, oh, I'm so fucking starving. And like, just... But why is it beef? Why is he not eating the people he's skinning and hanging up?
Starting point is 00:25:03 The movie's not called cannibal. Well, no, that we wouldn't be a cannibal. Oh, that's true. He would just be... Eating other predators, which you don't see. I would like to see him eat another predator. He's more... It would be like eating a lobster, right?
Starting point is 00:25:15 You ever look at that. a lobster's face. Yeah. It's like a predator's face. Predators sound delicious. You just listen. You get a big old pot. Put the predator in live. Boiling water. You wait till he turns red and then just melt some butter. That's good eating. Then you have like a nice neon
Starting point is 00:25:33 sauce to go with it. He uses blood like as a nice as a base. I'd love to eat neon glowing stuff. Does he have neon blood in the first movie? Yeah, yeah. That's his thing. All right. I won't know. You're going to run off the... I believe you!
Starting point is 00:25:49 But, yeah, so it's great, Danny Glover's like, all right, because Bill Paxton and Maria... Runeblaze is dead, so it's just Bill Paxton and Maria Cichita Alonzo, and he's like, from the running man, by the way. He's like, I have to go and I have to go
Starting point is 00:26:05 more than my good friend. I'm going to pick you guys up from the train station, so go jump on a train. I'm like, hey boss, can I take a cab or what? Like, what's the... Why do I have to take the subway in L.A.? That sucks. Your police officers. Take the company car.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Danny Glover destroyed them all. Oh, that's true. I wiped out the whole fleet. You gotta take the train. Every cop is taking the subway. Fucking L.A. subway, by the way. No thanks. And it's, you know, it's a robocop subway.
Starting point is 00:26:35 You know what that is, right? No, it's just like everyone's, like, everyone's like a super criminal on the subway, obviously. Splatterpunks. Yes, you got your splatterpunks. Well, it's a real bird. Bernie Gets moment. Yeah. You know, he's like, it's a dude just like sitting there
Starting point is 00:26:49 and some punks are messing with him. And the guy pulls out this huge like Joker gun. Like, get the fuck out of my face. And then everyone, everybody's got guns. Yeah. Well, I think it's like the idea is like the predator won't kill people without guns. So if everyone has guns, that ups the body count?
Starting point is 00:27:02 Question mark. Do you have to be armed to be murdered by a predator? He doesn't, yeah. He likes a fair, fair fight? Yeah. Well, you've got this little like cricket pistol and I've got everything about. me. Fair fight.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Yeah, it's not a fair fight if you bleed neon and I don't. You've got an advantage. Is that blood acidic? No, it's just kind of cool looking. It is cool. You know what? It is cool looking. So the Predator stops like watching Danny Glover from afar and decides
Starting point is 00:27:33 to take out his team on the train. Yeah. Which is fun. And he finds out, he cuts off Bill Paxton's head. You don't see that unfortunately. But he finds out that Maria Cicito Alonzo is pregnant and he's like, that's not cool. He's like holding her up, like, ready to do it. And then he does, like, a quick, like, Predator Cam ultrasound.
Starting point is 00:27:53 And there's just, like, a baby hanging out. And he's like, never mind. I might be a monster, but life begins a conception. Congratulations. I don't see a ring on that finger. What's with that? Yeah, but he would get. He would be upset about her being a single mother, you think?
Starting point is 00:28:17 Is that the idea? He'd have a real problem. Yeah. Well, he's a jerk. He is kind of a jerk. But, yeah, he doesn't kill her for no reason. And then she's like, goodbye movie. And then she was pregnant the whole time, which is this weird thing where, like, she's, like, a tough, badass, like, aliens kind of lady.
Starting point is 00:28:34 She's like, she's Ripley-esque, like, down to the haircut. Yeah. And then, like, she's pregnant. It's like, I can't do anything the guys are doing. See you later, third act. And it's like, I don't know. She's, like, last scene. sitting in an ambulance like, I'm tired.
Starting point is 00:28:50 That Paxton murder, man, you gotta see that. He's got to have a final line like, oh, fuck you, predator! At least we see the spinal column hanging out. Oh, he pulls, speaking of lobster, just yanks this thing out. And he's like, I'm going to take this to go. He's going to walk away whistling. I guess this is his second decapitation, right?
Starting point is 00:29:09 Because he takes out King Willie, yeah. Well, that seems ridiculous. So Danny Glover is like trying to get information, I guess, on The Predator. So he's like, let me go ask this Jamaican drug lord. Oh, this is my favorite part of the whole movie. Yeah, where he gets Superstones? Superstoned. You know, because they're Jamaican, so heaven forbid they can't open a car door without a fucking plume of smoke coming out.
Starting point is 00:29:33 And Danny Glover gets in like he's done a thousand times, it seems. He's got a real good relationship with these guys. And then he gets out of the car not acting high. I don't think so He's just contact high city Yes Especially if he's not a drug If you're not a pot smoker
Starting point is 00:29:51 Like you're in that car You're fucking baked And then he has like a weird mystical conversation He must be like freaked out Right Because the guy's like I think a demon's hunting you
Starting point is 00:30:00 I'd be like oh shit really Well does he Oh god I don't like that He goes up to this dude's back alley office And the guys you know Like you would Like burning trash
Starting point is 00:30:11 And a little like canister and he's just like Danny Glover because I'm not going to do the wretched Jamaican accent that this guy's doing good idea and he's like just so you know there's paranormal activity afoot
Starting point is 00:30:25 and Danny Glover in that moment should be like oh my god did he say what I think he said does he think I'm high oh he knows he knows he knows he knows he knows he knows he knows he knows he knows he knows he knows he knows maintain but
Starting point is 00:30:42 But this guy just gets his head cut off by the predator, which is fun, right? And then it's time for predator arts and crafts. The predator takes this back to wherever he's hiding out. I think the slaughterhouse. Yeah. And he's doing like a leather face. Like when leather face makes furniture, you know, and he's like pulling all the skin off and really like filing this skull down.
Starting point is 00:31:02 He's out of like a vacuum, sucking off all the blood and flash. And I'm like, where's that going? It's showroom quality of what he's making. It's a really nice-looking skull. I think he's also making a protein shake out of that. Really? Yeah, that stuff's got to go somewhere. Yeah, he might as well eat it.
Starting point is 00:31:16 He might as well eat it. And that's what I'm talking about. I hope he's eating. I want to see him eating those bits. It's like, you know, you can hunt and whatever, but please, use the whole animal. Yes. The whole human, every piece of it, it's all good. I just feel like he's like a Ted Nuget fuck, right?
Starting point is 00:31:31 Like, that's just killing everything he can. Oh, that could be. Yeah. Hunting out his living room window. Yeah, exactly. And he takes the skull down to his little spaceship and he's got like the trophy room. And this is where they set up like the alien versus predator shit.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Yeah. Great. I mean, it's a cool. I think everything should verse predator at some point, right? Like, every movie, like the, you get three movies and then the fourth one you have to have the predator in. Like that's got to be the law. I just want to see what happens.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Like you set up your trilogy so you have like the whole myth of whatever it is. And then that fourth one, the Predator. Exactly. Every single time. Which the hangover v. Predator would be up. What would be up next? Oh, I'd love to see those fucks get slaughtered. Take that the wolf pack.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Maybe like after that third Home Alone movie. Yep. A little kid setting traps for Predator? Yes. That's right. Yeah. We learned that's how you take them out is booby traps. Oh yeah. Predator 1. You know what, though? I don't think the Predator's going to like slip on micro machines.
Starting point is 00:32:31 But, I mean, listen. He's like, one of these broken Christmas ornaments? Whatever. I know he's a monster, but take a full paint can to the face sometime. It's not fucking around. Then he'll break all of his nasty teeth And that, you know, when that happens That's not fun
Starting point is 00:32:47 Predator touch like a hot door handle You want to give up Predator Or you're thirsty for more Yes So Bill Paxton's dead Yeah And you know the predator
Starting point is 00:33:06 Then at this point basically Danny Glover just fucks off to a slaughterhouse Right? Yeah you just got to go to that slaughterhouse Because everyone knows that's where the predator is at a certain point. They're like, that guy's hungry. But they say something about, like, the slaughterhouse district? Yeah. I mean, you know, I don't know Los Angeles that well, but slaughterhouse district?
Starting point is 00:33:25 Sure. Is this the beef industry that big out there? You need a whole district? I feel like there'd just be one, right? Why would you need more than one in a block radius to make a district? But Gary Busey and his team know they've been hunting. predators a long time. So they've been setting a trap for the predator by like spraying his slaughterhouse with radioactive isotopes. That was a big dialogue? Yeah, no, I just have a big question mark in my
Starting point is 00:33:54 notes. Like, why? Sure. And they're also tracking his pheromones. Yeah. Oh, yeah. In case he gets horny or what? I think he's always a little. Okay. Well, they're horny for killing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The sex organ situation on his brother. On a predator? Yeah. I don't know. For all we know, it's in their knees. Like that alien in Star Trek 6.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Oh, yeah. I remember Kirk kicked that guy in his knees, and it turned out to be his jokes. Yeah, that was an odd turn for that movie. It was Star Trek 6. This is the last one we're going to make. Let's get, finally, you have to give me ball nuts or ball knees. Oh, actually, under your four movie prophecy, Voyage Home should have had a predator.
Starting point is 00:34:39 It absolutely should have. Take those fucking whales. out, put some predators in, now we're talking. Time traveling predator. They have to preserve the species of the predator because they die out the future. They bring it back to I like it.
Starting point is 00:34:54 You know what? Sounds like this is coming together. Once the predators are back, that's Picard's problem. Oh no. Predators. Star Trek versus Predator. Also awesome. There's definitely a predator like protocol on the holodeck just
Starting point is 00:35:12 to get ready. You know what I mean? We got to run Predator Drills in case it happens. Mr. Data, have you been running your Predator drills? Makes total sense. It does make total sense. So Gary Busey tells, sits everybody down on his knee and tells everybody what a fucking Predator
Starting point is 00:35:27 is, an hour and a half into Predator 2. The only person in the movie who isn't hip to the situation is Danny Glover. Yep. And it's where the best line of the movie comes in, because he gives this whole speech about, like, tracking over decades and this, that, and the other
Starting point is 00:35:44 thing, and it's like, you don't know what it is we're talking about. Well, let me tell you, it's a fucking alien. And even then, Danny Glover's like, eh? He also... It's not surprised that he said alien. Like, you know, he's still thinking, like, drug
Starting point is 00:36:02 runner. If someone's like, by the way, you thought it was a drug runner, no, it's a fucking alien. I would be like, oh, fuck, an alien. He might still be stoned from two days ago. Oh, that could be. I saw that car.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Yeah. Oh, my God. Did he say alien? Maintain. He just looked at the corner for the next 15 minutes. Hey, Gary Busey, did you ever realize that
Starting point is 00:36:28 do other species we'd be aliens? Like, this guy's high as a fucking cat right now. Get him the fuck out of here. Internet toilet, Adam Baldwin. That guy sucks Yeah But so he's like
Starting point is 00:36:44 You just happen to come on the right day Because it's Predator Hutting Day He's coming back And he's gonna Well actually at this point he's all hopped up On lightning at this point Yeah let's address that for a moment How is that a thing?
Starting point is 00:36:58 I don't know it's the weirdest thing Like he kills Bill Paxton scales a building And he's got it's a very famous scene He's got like the Very famous scene It's a scene It's a scene from the movie It's a good scene
Starting point is 00:37:15 Yeah It's a good scene But what is he bragging? I don't understand Yeah it's like fucking suck this America I think Right Yeah he gets struck by lightning
Starting point is 00:37:25 And he's like feeling it really Yeah We don't know if it was intentional Or he's just waving that javelin in the air And it just happens But what does he do with the 1.21 gigawatts that he gets? Like I don't
Starting point is 00:37:36 maybe it powers up all of his Oh, that's how he recharges all the gadgets, do-dads, and whatnot? Yeah, maybe every few days he's got to get struck by lightning. I think it's Coke, though, right? Like, he's all gacked up on lightning? Everyone is doing cocaine in this movie, so it makes sense that the predator would need his own
Starting point is 00:37:52 like predator version of cocaine, right? Which would have to be lightning. So the predators would drug run lightning, maybe. Oh, yeah. They'd harness a cloud? Wait, does the predator then think that the skull and spinal column will attract the lightning. Oh, predator mysticism, you think?
Starting point is 00:38:10 Oh, yeah. It worked for Ben Franklin. Just have to get my friend's skull tied to this kite. Predator kind of looks like Ben Franklin a little bit. He does. Sorry, John Adams, we need to find electricity. Maybe Ben Franklin was a predator. Unconfirmed, but possible.
Starting point is 00:38:32 That's why he couldn't be president. he wanted the country's bird to be a fucking turkey and he was also a predator checks out sounds unqualified to me he told everyone he had all those what was it those sex diseases oh like syphilis
Starting point is 00:38:52 yeah that's why I look like this right that's why I'm green eight feet tall and sometimes have a mask could be so Gary Busey's wearing like a tin foil suit in this scene he looks like a fucking maniac like more so than usual
Starting point is 00:39:07 but for such a high budget Hey can I keep this jacket Can I keep this silver jacket Hey Stephen Hopkins Can I keep this silver jacket Yes you can I feel like whenever Gary Busey asks you a question
Starting point is 00:39:21 It's like yeah yeah please sure Yes yes Whatever you want Stop talking to me stop talking to me Stop talking to me But it's really cheap looking This movie costs like 56 million dollars Put some money into that fucking jacket
Starting point is 00:39:32 It's garbage They needed to save all the money for all the predators that show up at the end of this movie. Ooh, stay tuned for all the predators. That's the DVD chapter of the end of the movie. All the Predators. It should be
Starting point is 00:39:46 Predator Family Reunion, right? Yeah, that's like, so, like, Gary Busey's like, all right, we're going to go in this slaughterhouse, and we're going to hunt this predator. Danny Glover, you stand right here with Adam Baldwin. You keep this human toilet company. And we're also going to rip off that seed in aliens when you see the team get picked off one by one with the cameras.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Just ripping this right off. But nobody said anything, huh? Nobody spoke up. And how did they know about the infrared site? I guess Arnold Schwarzenegger told him in a deposition at some point? You know, dude, you know that Dutch had to go back and just like tell him everything. Every last thing. Well, according to the IMDB Tribune, you know, Gary Busey was supposed to be Arnold Schwarzenegger
Starting point is 00:40:29 and he's just running this government op now. Oh, that makes sense. I want to dedicate my life to hunting president. You never know where you're going to end up career-wise. I wanted to be a teacher, but here we are. It's my vocation. But that would suck, though, because then that would mean that Dutch would get killed in this movie. That's true.
Starting point is 00:40:51 If the script held true to what we see in this one. I'm like, Bill Murray, I'll only do Predator 2 if I die. And then my ghost will be in Predator 3. So they all get wiped out in like the exact same. Although this is more predator technology. He's got like different predator cams that he goes through. It's like better? Worse. Better.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Got it. But the whole plan is we're going to freeze him out. Yeah. Liquid nitrogen. We always have to try to exploit the technology. Right? It's not just let's kill it and pretend it never happens. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:25 It's we got to just kind of keep it in stasis and then study it while it's alive. So we're trying to flash freeze this eight foot monster. It would take like 70 years to figure out the Predator's bullshit alphabet that he has. You know what I mean? Like you're not going to back-engineer this technology. I mean, just shoot him dead and study the body like we did with Roswell. Yeah. If it was good enough for Waswell, it should be good enough for 1997 weird post-apocalyptic on the verge of destruction America.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Yeah. It should be. But so we're trying to flash-free this thing and they've got like these little, it's like a fire extinguisher with the hose cut off. There's Ghostbuster 2 guns. Like for sure. Yes. Replace slime with freezing things. Ice? Ice? What is it? Liquid nitrogen. Oh, liquid nitrogen. Oh, yeah. I don't know, science.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I'm not scientifically inclined. I didn't get Predator 2. Yo, we should get Neil deGrasse Tyson to pick apart the science in Predator 2. He'd have a fucking nine-hour field day with it. Actually, Predator, and it would just go. Yeah. It would just go.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Predators aren't that tall actually, I guess, would be his first thing. Like, how could something be able to be tall? Or maybe he'd say it's actually sound. Oh, really? This is the one movie. Do you think Predator 2 would check out? Of all the movies he's ruined, Predator 2
Starting point is 00:42:49 is going to check out? I'm going to say he's due for something checking out. Okay, all right. Superman can't catch Lois falling off a building, but Predator 2? Yeah. 100%. Yes, it could get struck by lightning and is. Yeah. So Danny Glover
Starting point is 00:43:07 he's like, oh my God, they're all dying in there. And like Adam Baldwin's like, ah, I'm a toilet. He's like, fine. And Danny Glover like, he does say one of my other favorite lines in this movie, he's like, fuck yourself, which is great. Anyone telling Adam Baldwin to go fuck himself is really nice to watch.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Oh, yeah. He deserves like a free t-shirt at the end of this movie. But he's like, I'm going to save the day. Let me take 20 minutes to get dressed. Because he goes at his car, which He has all these guns and, like, different kinds of bulletproof vests. Well, he better be changing into some more suitable pants because the slats he's wearing in this movie. They're, like, bell bottom slacks.
Starting point is 00:43:44 It's wide on the bottom, and his ass is barely fitting into these things. Like, I could see Danny Glover's panty line at the beginning of this movie. It's awesome. I didn't notice that. That's it. No judgment. I just did not notice that, period. It's worth a second look.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Maybe that's what Neil deGrasse Tyson would talk about, is the science of his pants. They're just impractically made pants. You wouldn't make pants like that in real life? Yeah, everything else checks out, but those pants. Well, it must have been a thing where he's working out for this movie because he's jacked his shit. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I mean, look, you're going up against Predator One, the musliest movie ever made. So, like, even, there's no fat people in that movie. Not a single fat person. But now, you know, Danny Glover I needed to pump some iron and he was tired of being Murtaugh. He wanted to be rigs for once.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Yes, that's true. Tie me up and electrocute my balls with a car battery. I don't want to... Finally. I am tired of sitting on toilets that may contain bombs. No, it definitely contained a bomb.
Starting point is 00:44:53 But after that, though, you'd always got to wonder a little bit, right? Like, if you ever sat in a toilet that had a bomb on it, it would take you a while to go to the bathroom from then, on out. Like Janet Lee in showers?
Starting point is 00:45:08 Yes. Took baths after Psycho. So he takes a long time. Everybody gets murdered. Gary Busey gets murdered twice in this movie. One of two deaths. The two deaths of Gary Busey. That's a good movie. I'd watch that movie. I'd watch that. So the first one is the motorcycle accident.
Starting point is 00:45:27 And the next one is coming up. Wow. And you're right. He's a national treasured. Don't get me wrong. I technically died. I technically died once. He says that. I technically fought a predator twice.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Didn't he like go to heaven or something? Yeah, I think he did. I think he might have claimed that once. Like that little boy that went to heaven? Oh, it turned out that kid was lying, though. But you didn't find out until after a bunch of idiots bought that book. So he got them. So I think he fell off a tree and went to heaven.
Starting point is 00:46:03 I went to heaven. No other questions, please. No follow-up needed. End of this fake press conference. Gary Busey does need a couple of press conferences. Just here and there, just to check in. No, like weekly. I want like a presidential address on the radio every week checking in with Gary Buse.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Fireside chats with Gary Bucy? Absolutely. Just to see what he's up to. Sure. Why not? But so he gets shot and kind of explodes. And it's like Bucy Cam where he's like, and it is silly.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Dude, whose teeth are worse? Gary Busey or the Predator. It's a real question. The Predator, come on. I don't know. What? At least those seem functional. Well, the Predator takes off that mask and it looks like that movie teeth with vagina dentata. Which we'll get to, actually. That's explicitly referenced.
Starting point is 00:46:58 But it's weird, like, I think explicitly referenced. Well, one word of it. The predator could look like the George Clooney of predators. You don't know. You know what I mean? Like, Gary Pusey's just an ugly dude. Well, I don't want to sound racist, but it kind of looks to me like all predators look the same. Yeah, that's true. No, when the family reunion happens, there's a few differences.
Starting point is 00:47:21 There's definitely a predator with, like, gray hair in this movie. Is that Ben Franklin? Ben Franklin has the silverback predator. You're right, that predator walks in holding, petting a turkey. Just a predator with little glasses. A bunch of melted keys jangling from his belt. Hold the phone. I think that predator ends up with, he's got a gun from the 1700s.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Hello, it's checking out. Yeah, that story makes sense. So Danny Glover finally comes up. He's like, hey, you want me. And he kind of just beats the shit out of the predator. He shoots him like 19 times because the predator doesn't have body armor. He's just wearing the fishnet everything. he's kind of dressed up like Dr. Frank
Starting point is 00:48:04 N. Ferder now that I think about it. It's a little, it's less scary and more Fredericks of Hollywood, you know what I mean? Like, just like cheap lingerie. I'm a sweet space traveler. We could write that musical. We could. Predator the musical?
Starting point is 00:48:17 Get Richard O'Brien on it. He's looking for something to do. So when the beauty comes back, he jumps out of nowhere. Yeah, and he's like, get the fuck out of here. You still don't know what you're dealing with. Actually, I just shot that predator. So, yeah, Danny Glover has clearly got the situation. under control and Gary Busey comes
Starting point is 00:48:34 and like, look out, kid, I called it. But it's amazing because he shoots the predator a bunch and the predator falls down and then he does have this reveal of like, who's under this predator mask? You know what I mean? Like, again, it could be Skied Ulrich or it could be I swear to God if it's
Starting point is 00:48:50 Matthew Lillard. The old... Fucking die in here, man. My mom's gonna be so mad. No, it would be it's predator too. so it would have to be what's her name?
Starting point is 00:49:05 Laurie Metcalfe and Lori Metcalf as the predator. Man, that movie makes no sense. Nope. But then, but here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:49:16 When I shoot an eight-foot alien that's been killing all of my friends and polishing their skulls, I'm unloading on it until it's, and I'm making sure the face looks like
Starting point is 00:49:25 nothing else at afterwards. Exactly. Why is you hanging out with this body? All you have to do is open and be like, oh, it's not hamburger yet? Lambtown.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Until it's hamburger. Then go on your way. Go back to fighting the Jamaican drug lords. Or whatever. Did we skip the second death of going to be? Well, he comes out. He's like, eh, again. And he's like, I got this.
Starting point is 00:49:48 I got my gun and my ice gun. I have both my gun and my ice gun. You're going down. He gets cut in half with the disc weapon. The Krull Starfish comes out and slices them. But you don't see it. It's like, again, like, you just see like his legs go kind of, right?
Starting point is 00:50:06 Yeah, yeah. I need to watch him get cut in half. I think that was in his contract. That's like, you're not going to see it happen. I want viewers to use their imaginations. Maybe you're too explicit these days. Yeah, he had a real problem with it. So then, um, Danny Glover and the predator fight on a roof.
Starting point is 00:50:24 It's kind of like the end of heat. Like there's all these like steam vents. It's a little bit like the end of heat. It is sort of like they have a mutual respect for. each other. The Predator just wants to go to Ireland with Amy Brennan or whatever. That would be great actually. Danny Glover and the Predator sit down in a diner and just try to hash it out late one night. It's in L.A. You could do it.
Starting point is 00:50:47 I'm going to have to come for you eventually, Predator. And that would be the conversation. So we're fighting on this roof. Predator kind of gets injured and breaks into an old couple's house. He's hanging off the roof. And this is This is when Danny Glover calls him pussy face. Sorry, everybody. Like, I'm going to kill this alien, better insult it first. Like, who is that for?
Starting point is 00:51:13 The predator doesn't speak English. That he doesn't get what he's referencing. Well, he kind of starts to speak English. It's just mimicking things, though. I know, but he calls him a motherfucker. He just, motherfucker. He knows what that means. Shit happens.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Well, that's the best thing. The Predator is, you know, he's kind of a dick. Whenever he loses, like, fuck off him going home and blows up everything. You know what I mean? Like, this game's stupid anyway. You know what I mean? And here's what it is, right? Like, Predator knows that he's beaten at this point
Starting point is 00:51:43 and he's trying to check out before the match is over with. Yeah. Because he does his little, like, boop, boop, boop on his arm and he's going to self-destruct. It's kind of a dupe, dupe top, actually. He dressed a dupe doop right out of this movie. Yes. It's fucking cheap, dude. And, but Danny Glover says,
Starting point is 00:51:58 sorry, pussy face, and cuts his arm off, I guess, right? sorry pussy face me so the bomb doesn't go off and now he's just armless and freaking out and that's when he stumbles into this old woman's bathroom and you know I'm sitting here like you know this is like 10 minutes left of Predator 2 it's time for some comedy
Starting point is 00:52:17 I've been waiting for some comedic levity in this movie he's kind of like a meth head like he's just going through his old lady's medicine cabinet looking for pills and he's yeah he like takes out some drywall and like this blue stuff he needs his little black medical book
Starting point is 00:52:33 because he's bleeding out he's got like he's got needles and shit yeah and he starts like I guess burning like his arm and his wounds he's kind of cooking up in there I think a little bit
Starting point is 00:52:44 he casts like a predator like medical spell there's like blue flames coming up it's weird and all this is happening while it takes again Danny Glover 30 minutes to shimmy down this building
Starting point is 00:52:54 which by the way while he's shimbing down this building he says it's kind of like falling off a log which I don't know what that means In this instance it makes no sense but it also
Starting point is 00:53:07 it sets up my favorite shot in the whole movie because Predator's like putting this stuff on his body just trying to like heal up get those XP points going and then in the background Danny Glover's like shimmying down this pipe
Starting point is 00:53:18 Preders just like looking at his stomach he's like oh you're getting fat you're getting fat you're eating way too much beef in that slaughterhouse You got Let Danny Glover get the bestia That's stupid
Starting point is 00:53:32 But then yeah It's your classic 1980s trope of like Something crazy happens And then an old lady shows up She's just like Harold I think someone's robbing us And she's like looking at a fucking alien
Starting point is 00:53:47 She gets a broom out Yeah that'll do it Almost a broom versus predator It was after the third broom movie actually can you imagine if brooms were the thing that's going to take it down like you just like poke it and it's like and it just the predator
Starting point is 00:54:04 just melted we got to bristle him to death that's true I mean you don't know what his weakness is yet it could be brooms no I'm just saying no one's ever tried that's rare and during this whole exchange like you can hear the TV
Starting point is 00:54:18 in the background of Jeopardy on so that exists in the Predator's even at this post-apocalyptic 1997 Jeopardy still on the air. We're still producing Jeopardy. That's another thing. Just real quick sidebar.
Starting point is 00:54:31 When we go to the police station, it's like mass chaos because the world's just a garbage place. Yep. But we're still arresting women for prostitution. It's like your bullshit, like, you know, police, like department lobby or whatever. And it's like maniacs with guns getting, you know, carted away in handcuffs. But like prostitutes are getting carried off. And it's like, why are we bothering with that? The world is in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:54:53 There's wars in the streets. Question. versus Predator who wins. Oh, my God. Robocop? Yeah, I think it's... I don't know. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:04 I'm hearing a lot of Predator from the audience. Well, this is also a Predator to do shows. We've got a Pro Predator crowd. You know what I mean? It's stacked against Robocop, unfortunately. Robocop is slow.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Yeah. But Predator is fast. That's true. I don't know. This is a whole other show. But Robocop is not wearing any fishnet whatsoever. And he's pretty well
Starting point is 00:55:26 protected. That's true. And he can always just be rebooted. That's true. I think Robocop would win it in the end, you know, because Murphy's a good man. That's true. Yeah. Wait, actually, total unstoppable killing machine, you like get a predator to like the brink of death
Starting point is 00:55:42 and then make it into a robo predator. Using the same Robocop technology. Do you think he's still upset about his wife in that scenario? Oh yeah, he's just got fuzzy memories of his like predator planet and little Predators, like, running around? Totally.
Starting point is 00:55:59 So... It's all there for a movie. That's all I'm saying. Danny Glover finds a predator in this bathroom, and predators like, ah! And, like, kind of runs out, and he knocks down the door, and then, Danny Glover's like, hey, I'm a cop, don't worry. And she goes, I don't think he gives this shit. And I'm like, you just
Starting point is 00:56:16 saw an alien. A little reverence, if you don't mind. Just being that flippant in the present of an eight-foot monster. alien. Your bathroom's exposed to the wild. You've got doors knocked down. You're houses and ruins. Do you think she had Predator insurance?
Starting point is 00:56:37 Only Allstate carries that. It's the only company that carries Predator insurance. So then Predator kind of goes down an elevator shaft and I guess he's been living under this building. The ship's down there. There are so many question marks in here. How did the ship get down there? I know. How did it fit? The first movie, don't we see it Crashland? Like, we see them get to the jungle.
Starting point is 00:57:01 We don't see how they, like, parallel parked in this abandoned subway tunnel in this movie. If you've seen AVP recently, you might remember that the predators are, yeah, I know. I haven't and I don't, but continue. They're ancient aliens. They've been there, they're, like, at Mayan temples and whatnot. So, this, Los Angeles might have been built above this ship. Oh, wow. But why? It's, like, total tops ten predators.
Starting point is 00:57:26 in the ship. Why are they hanging out down there like chuds? They might have been in. Come up and take us over. Why are you waiting centuries to do this? Not many of them. They've been inbreeding to get numbers up. Oh, it really is like Texas chainsaw massacre.
Starting point is 00:57:42 But I don't understand, like, do, so they're just hanging out there. Like, it's your turn, Predator 559. And then, like, that guy just goes out and kills everybody. I think it's like, it's supposedly like a right of passage. This is like a Predator Bar Mitzville. you gotta go and kill all these people okay that sounds about right
Starting point is 00:58:02 but so what's you're now a man now you gotta kill like a certain number of people I guess I don't know I don't know when the killing stuff now that it's predator that's the problem you have to find a beefy dude and kill him like you can kill a bunch of people but you have to find one beefy dude hunt him down and kill him oh so you gotta keep
Starting point is 00:58:20 go until you find your Dutch yeah you're a lion well that's what they say They say, they think Busey says that he's the lion. I'm a lion. No, he's lions, tigers and bears. Oh, man. And it's like, you know what, Gary?
Starting point is 00:58:33 We called Cut five minutes ago. Hey, John, you're going to put that lines, tigers, and bears line in, aren't you? Please put it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, yeah. So he goes on the Predatorship, and it's like your classic early 90s Stargate nonsense, right? It's a little bit of Wishmaster in there, too, I feel. Oh, there's all sorts of. freaky shit going on down there.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Danny Glover looks at the skull like, I don't know, menagerie there and he's like, that's pretty impressive, it's pretty nice, you know? You think, uh... I know that guy, I know that guy. Well, there's multiple human skulls down there. You think one of them is Jesse Ventura's? Is that curiosity? Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:13 It's him and Bill Duke together. It's finally at last. It's just like they need to be together. At least we get to be next to each other in the afterlife, Bill Duke. We're placed to tap the predator's mantle together for eternity. How about Jesse Ventura and Bill Duke haunting this ship? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Ghost ship the Predator? Being haunted by Bill Duke and Predator is pretty scary because you're just hearing, I'm going to have me some fun. In your house all around? It's like, yikes. It's a terrifying soundbite to try to go to sleep. But, so the predator comes
Starting point is 00:59:47 in and, like, Danny Glover at this point has his Zena crawl thing, and he cuts him right in half. Does he have a cool catch rate? I think he does it. Now, he goes back and says, shit happens to you, motherfucker. That is like, all right. He's, like, gutting this thing.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Like, he learned his lesson the last time. He wants to make sure this guy's dead. And he's just pulling intestines out. It's all falling all over him. That'd be great if you got, like, a Lucy Lawless, like, a, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fucking gutting this thing. So this is when, like, all the other predators appear.
Starting point is 01:00:21 And then Danny Glover says, who's next? Shut up. You are, motherfucker. That's who's next. Well, I mean, the funny thing is, it's like the end of a bad, like, wrestling match. Like, the N.W.O. shows up. It's like, oh, this thing's rigged. And everyone goes, boo.
Starting point is 01:00:36 The predators would be the heels. Yeah, they would definitely not be the faces. But it turns out they are a noble warrior race because they're like, wow, you got that guy good. And they award Danny Glover, like, a musket from the 1700s. Ben Franklin's musket. But it's weird because, like, you set up a movie where it's Predator in the Old West, because it's like a little revolver, and I'm like, that's a movie I want. I don't, fuck, leave the aliens out of it.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Let's just go back to the Old West. They tried it. It was called Cowboys and Aliens with Harrison Ford. And no one gave a fly and bark. Maybe if it was gorier, though, that's the movie. If Daniel Craig got gutted, this is how you got someone from below. You're right. so he kind of just walks away right
Starting point is 01:01:27 like he shakes does he shake anybody's hand no they all turn invisible one by one it would have been better if it was all at the same time cooler visual this is also when a predator talks to him it's like take this when he gives him the gun so it's like weird like what the hell
Starting point is 01:01:45 when did you record that well something tells me the end of this movie wasn't really thought out too well The Danny Glover just walks out of this spaceship It's getting ready to take off Yeah I mean he would have been incinerated But he's not But he's covered in ashes and stuff
Starting point is 01:02:00 Yeah And then like Adam Baldwin comes up But he's like what did you do in there Did you get the predator And he's like fuck you man It's like you know what You're not in this movie technically The most you've done
Starting point is 01:02:13 Is look at a computer monitor And then he runs away before the cops get there Oh well yeah you have to You gotta clear out He's got a chopper to come in and take him away. And he's going to sell that gun. Oh, man, is he going to sell that gun? Oh, big time.
Starting point is 01:02:26 If he gets the chance, because if he tells everyone, like, oh, I fought all these aliens in a spaceship. Ooh, sit in asylum. Listen, when you're trying to hawk this thing, leave the predator battle part out of it. That's a good. It's been in my family for years. Predator Antiques Road Show, maybe.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Well, this is clearly a predator forgery. It's worth about $19. Man, you ever see how disappointed those people are when it turns out to be garbage? Oh, that's the best part about that show. It is great because they always have to keep smiling because they're on television. They're like, oh, that's amazing.
Starting point is 01:03:04 I guess my tax debt will eat me alive. Turns out my father's been lying to me my whole life. Great. I just want one like, fuck! Yes. It's like the first time PBS would ever have to bleep something. They're like, do we have the bleep button?
Starting point is 01:03:25 Can we do this? Fucking fake musk. Fuck you, dad. Fuck you, predator. It's a forgery. Oh man, the Predators just passing off fake merchandise. Here, I got this at Disney World. It's like, well, this is fucking worthless.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Danny Glover should have noticed when he turned it over and it said Pirates of the Caribbean. So the predators, like, take off, right? They just go back to space, ready to fight another day. I guess so. Where are they picking off? They're under the city. Here's a question we had, which is, we see all these predators.
Starting point is 01:04:02 Are there, like, different ranks of predators? Are they doing other things? Are they, like, predator office workers? Are they're fat predator podcasters? Like, how does that work? That's a great question. You don't really get, like, you know, like, the strata of predator, like, employment. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Like, I'm not even talking about, like, ranks on the, ship but you're right like are the predator entertainers yeah you know like hokey predator catskill comedians kind of things or like an elvis predator thank you very much uh and the last shot of this movie fittingly is a helicopter it is it worked for the last one oh that's true yeah symmetry a movie that's almost entirely absent of helicopters why isn't it ending with danny glover crashing another car. Like he gets behind the wheel and all the soot gets in his eyes
Starting point is 01:04:52 and he just crashes again? Harrigan, you're in no condition to drive. I'll do it. It turns out there's some people that really like this movie. Oh, really? And I just, I brought something here from the IMDB news ticket that I wanted to share with everyone this evening. Oh, you didn't get the print edition?
Starting point is 01:05:07 No, sorry. I have my online subscription. That's the thing. You're going to run that print edition right at it, right at a job. Whoa. Fuck. You keep figuring that out. title of this review
Starting point is 01:05:24 extremely underrated they're not wrong can you guys guess how many stars out of ten nine ten nine that would be sensible WTF is wrong with people
Starting point is 01:05:46 Predator dash one had more Arnie than Predator. Arnie, by the way. Are you fucking friends with this person? This movie simply has more Predator. It also greatly expanded the Predator Universe and franchise. It introduced a whole new bunch of pred weapons, tactics, and behavior, which never, ever seemed out of place and were perfect fits. it explored their race further. All these were added to full effect
Starting point is 01:06:22 in the AVP and AVP-2 PC games. Oh, yes. Which were smash hits. So imagine how horrible it would be if this movie never happened. Yeah, just imagine a world absent of Predator 2. Yeah, I mean, like, you could imagine
Starting point is 01:06:44 what happened if JFK wasn't assassinated? Sure. What happened, you know, if Hitler was assassinated, or what if Predator 2? Never happened. I think those are the biggest three alt history.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Yeah. You know, dreams. The urban parentheses, steel jungle? Setting contrasts against the previous jungle setting and is a major plus for this movie. This movie was also extremely realistic
Starting point is 01:07:14 and gory. gory I'll give you to be realistic well extremely realistic I think Neil deGrasse Tyson wrote this all in all I can't believe he's closing this so soon
Starting point is 01:07:32 this movie is fantastic and a few ignorant critics just want to bring it down by comparing it with the uniqueness of the original thanks a lot internet now it's clear we'd all recommend this oh yeah it's a super stone fold
Starting point is 01:07:51 what the fuck is wrong what's in yours that's different than these two I bought them all at the same time no I apologize America and that I mean 70 people that's a good sample size yeah that's it all right so real quick
Starting point is 01:08:12 rank him you've Predator 1 Predator 2 you're leaving out the AVP wait no you're leaving out
Starting point is 01:08:23 AVP AVP Requium and AVP 1 into the PC game and that fucking Predator fan my ass I'm going to try it yeah all right
Starting point is 01:08:34 Predator 1 number one Predator 2 AVP Require of them. Oh, okay. All right. Wow.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Never has a room been split down the middle. After part one, there's not much left. Yeah. And then AVP's worse. Yeah, sure. Maybe? I don't know. Maybe not.
Starting point is 01:08:58 All right. Maybe it's a great movie. What do I know? What about that Adrian Brody movie no one in the world ever saw? Predators. Oh, God. I forgot about that.
