Predator (1987)

After going through a month of movies involving stories about man eating sharks, The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast crew decided it would take on a series involving a different kind of predator. In fact, it’s about THE predator, which had another entry in the franchise come out a couple months ago. But before they get there, as always, the guys have to start from where it all began. When 1987’s Predator was first greenlit, it is widely believed the reason was because it was piggybacking off the back of 20th Century Fox’s successes with two other space oriented franchises, Star Wars and Alien. What came of it was a new franchise that carried on with sequels and (the already covered) tie-ins that make Predator’s title creature amongst one of cinema’s most popular characters. Especially with Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast’s very own Adam. Join Adam, Matt, and Garrett as they dive into director John McTiernan’s 1987 testosterone fueled Arnold Schwarzenegger original film,and lead up to a review of this year’s aforementioned film Predator Badlands!
