from Hold On to Your Butts: A Podcast About Great Franchises that Uhhhhhhhhh Lost Their Way

A new season of Hold On To Your Butts begins. JD and Paul leave Indiana Jones behind and start their journey through the Predator franchise with the original 1987 classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, and one of the most iconic movie monsters ever created. They discuss whether Predator deserves its reputation as an all-time action masterpiece, why Arnold became the defining action star of the era, the fascinating behind-the-scenes production stories that shaped the film, and whether the franchise has finally found its footing again with the recent movies. They also spend an alarming amount of time debating Schwarzenegger vs. Stallone, Jesse Ventura's political career, and the eternal mystery: What is a Predator?
