The Predator (2018)

Eight years after producer Robert Rodriguez had Adrien Brody went and fought the Predator -and Predator dogs, and bigger Predators, and Lawrence Fishburne- original Predator co-star Shane Black decided to take the reigns and see if he could make something a little more universally successful. The result, 2018’s The Predator. Yet, once again, 20th Century Fox stepped in and decided to make life a living hell for all involved. Scenes were switched, a friend of Black’s had a small scene cut due to Olivia Munn finding out the other man in the scene -who was also a friend of Black’s- had a checkered past. And the ending ended up getting completely reworked. So what do Garrett, Matt, and Adam have to say? This, was the podcast Matt and Garrett had been looking forward to since they started this series due to Adam once again having reservations to watching a movie in a franchise again due to an utter hatred for the film. It happened with Alien Covenant. Yet, unlike that 2017 film, Adam hadn’t finished watching The Predator until this viewing. Did he warm up to it? Well, let’s just say this is one of those podcasts where Garrett and Matt just kind of stand back and let Adam go. The result, is one of the most one sided hatred ladened shows the guys have done since 2017’s The Last Jedi. Listen in to see how the others feel!
