Did Animation Make Predator Better? | Hold Onto Your Butts Ep. 23
from Hold On to Your Butts: A Podcast About Great Franchises that Uhhhhhhhhh Lost Their Way
JD and Paul take on Predator: Killer of Killers, the animated anthology from Dan Trachtenberg that sends the Predator hunting across centuries of human history. This time, a Viking warrior, a samurai, and a World War II pilot each face their own Yautja hunter before being brought together for a Predator gladiator battle. JD thinks Killer of Killers contains some of the best and most inventive action in the entire franchise. Paul thinks animation might fundamentally prevent him from caring about any of it. So naturally, things get contentious. We break down the three stories, the wildly different Predator designs, the new Yautja Codex and language, the film's animation, its historical settings, the samurai showdown, the aerial Predator battle, the final arena sequence, and what Dan Trachtenberg seems to understand about this franchise that so many previous filmmakers didn't. Subscribe for the final episode of What the Hell Are You? I A Rewatch of Everything Predator.
