James Jay Edwards:

Welcome to Eye On Horror the official podcast of iHorror.com This is episode 92 Otherwise known as season five episode 14. I am your host James Jay Edwards and with me as always is your other host Jacob Davison How you doing Jacob?

Jacob Davidson:

Doing great. I just flew back from my vacation on New England and back west coast in Los Angeles. So fully recovered and full lobster rolls.

James Jay Edwards:

I thought you were gonna give us the and boy are my arms tired?

Jacob Davidson:

That much of a joke.

James Jay Edwards:

Well, welcome back. Also with us, as always, is your other other host Jon Correia How you doing? Correia?

Jonathan Correia:

I'm doing great. You know, long week at work but last weekend I got to be a model in Ama Lea as fashion show over at Midsummer Scream so you know,

James Jay Edwards:

how'd that go?

Jonathan Correia:

Oh, it went incredible. My my my modeling contract is getting finalized now. So you know, just gonna be like, doing a lot of, you know, Tasteful Nudes and other stuff lately. But no, it was it was a it was a lot of fun. The Convention was great. As always, Midsummer Scream is always always so much fun to go to. And being a part of the fashion show was phenomenal. And I can tell you as as a as a hairy Husky boy, there's nothing more of like a confidence booster and like an ego a shot to the ego than going out on stage in a pair in box and just boxer briefs with I think it was Donnie Darko themed. And like, people cheering you on. Like that was great. So

Jacob Davidson:

rad. Yeah,

James Jay Edwards:

I saw the pictures from the show. And there were a lot of different body types represented. I'm glad that that everything was I'm glad people weren't jerks about it. This is what I'm saying.

Jonathan Correia:

No, do you the crowd will fucking ate it up everyone because it because it wasn't just like, go out. Do a catwalk thing. Like people danced. There was so much swag and drip everywhere. It was awesome. Like, it was a lot of fun. 10 out of 10 Ama, if you ever need models, let me know I'm more than happy to model for you over again.

James Jay Edwards:

Speaking of ama she dropped a bunch of new lines. Just the other day you guys see I actually pre ordered one I think I don't know if it's a pre order an order one of the Civic TV Videodrome shirts.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, I'm very tempted by that jacket. That jackets awesome. But I have this problem because I grew up in New England. So I would always buy a sweatshirt like once a month because I would go through them, like every year. But I've been living in LA for eight years. So I keep buying a hoodie or a jacket and I never get to wear I have a closet full of barely touched hoodies. That I refuse to give up. But I just keep buying them. It's it's a weird habit I'm like a squirrel.

James Jay Edwards:

Yes, Southern California winter lasts for about a week and a half. Yeah, yeah,

Jacob Davidson:

pretty much and even then people tend to wear heavier stuff like I see people like full winter gear once the temperature has dropped below 60.

Jonathan Correia:

Meanwhile us New Englanders are just walking around in sleeveless shirts, just like it's not that cold.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, exactly. That's when I keep on telling my coworker no bundle though. It's like that isn't so bad.

Jonathan Correia:

Hey, you just need a hoodie. Just a hoodie.

James Jay Edwards:

Hey, I was born and raised in California and I still when quote winter hits. I'm still in shorts and flip flops. But I do wear a hoodie because you know you got to keep your core warm.

Jonathan Correia:

Oh, so you got so you got that's what New Englanders do in like the spring like once the sun's out. We still wear our winter jackets but will wear flip flops and shorts like a bunch of maniacs. It's it's a disgusting sight of paleness

James Jay Edwards:

Well, my relatives are all from Pittsburgh. So maybe I do have a bit of that blood.

Jonathan Correia:

Maybe we'll make a New Englander out of you Yet.

Jacob Davidson:

Speaking of New England, I did my biannual trip to the vinegar syndrome archive in Bridgeport, Connecticut picked up a couple of cool things. I got the new release of We're All Going to the World's Fair has this really cool glow in the dark cover that kind of fits with the kind of neon aesthetic of it the movie and you know, like the internet creepy pasta stuff. And yeah, it was definitely one of my favorites out of Sundance this year. So I'm glad it's got a physical release and more people can check that out. And on the opposite spectrum, I got this new shot on video, horror movie released from Saturn audio and video, Saturn's Core audio and video, Ravage. And it says crazy Like Missouri regional action horror movie about the psychologist whose family is killed by a serial killer, who's the leader of a serial killer Colt and he goes on a bloody rampage of revenge to get back at him. And it's like this that kind of mix of Hong Kong action with like, just blatant bloody violence. And I've just really been developing a soft spot for a shot and video and regional horror lately, because you can see that, you know, despite the clear limitations, they definitely had a passion for their project.

Jonathan Correia:

It's always great. I always say like, give me a low budget lo-fi film that's filled with passion. That's something that has like all the spectacle, but no heart. You know, I think that's one of the reasons why films like Troll 2 resonate with people so well, it's just because, like, you can feel the passion behind them. And I think that's beautiful with these.

Jacob Davidson:

It really is, and I'm glad they're getting Second Life and a chance to get a new audience. Instead of you know, being sold out of the back of some guy's van on a blank VHS tape.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, I also just love how they're getting these beautiful restorations and you and are like getting charged like 30-40 bucks. When like, most people would be like, those don't deserve that. Why are you spending $40 on this crappy film? And it's just like, hey, let these people live their lives, you know?

Jacob Davidson:

Because it's fun. Man should be Incredible Melting Man is getting a 4k UHD released this month. It's insane. And I love it.

Jonathan Correia:

Which like, it's it is incredible. It's I don't know if that film does, like, does quote deserves a 4k release. But you bet your fucking ass. I'm getting a copy. It's gonna

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, it's gonna be fun. And then the early works of Rick Baker.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, if anyone wants to buy my old Scream Factory blu ray, let

James Jay Edwards:

me know. I was gonna say I don't know that that one for me is worth double dip. And I think the Scream Factory one is just fine.

Jonathan Correia:

So after we recorded our last episode, I checked out this movie called Shrew's Nest on Shudder. Have you guys heard of this one? No, I haven't heard of it. It was released in 2014. And it was produced by Alex de la Iglesia who did. Like, I think it was

Jacob Davidson:

Perdita Durango.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, Perdita Durango, then like a bunch of other amazing work. So he produced it. And this was kind of like a Spanish Hagsploitation, film very in the vein of like, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, and movies of that, but it's about this takes place in 1950s, Spain. And it's about this woman who has agoraphobia, and she keeps her sister kind of locked into this apartment with her. And her. And her little sister is like the one going out, getting the stuff you know, and she just has this like strong like hold on her. And then one day, their neighbor is drunk and falls down the stairs and breaks his leg. And so the sister with agoraphobia brings him into the apartment. And it's kind of like this cross between like, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and Misery. And it's just, it's just a really strange, very weird movie. It doesn't go quite over the top as Hagsploitation type titles, but it definitely hits those marks. So I would highly recommend it. Shrew's Nest is a lot of fun.

James Jay Edwards:

I saw the only thing I've seen besides what we're going to be talking about for our topic is a couple things that are not really horror, but they're definitely going to be of interest. And the first which we won't spend too much time on, because it's the least Horrorery is DC League of super pets. Have you guys seen this?

Jacob Davidson:

No, no?

Jonathan Correia:

Sorry, that sounded very dismissive of me that I'm just like, No.

James Jay Edwards:

This what I think DC needs to start doing is movies like this. It basically is Superman and all the Justice League gets captured, and his dog has to save them Krypto. But this one animal shelter was all given superpowers and actually that's who capture Superman is this guinea pig who used to belong to Lex Luthor, and to impress Lex Luthor, she captures the Justice League, which is it sounds kind of fishy, but this guinea pig kind of becomes the Captain Marvel, you know, just like the most powerful guinea pig I guess that ever lived. It's it's really funny though, because crypto teamed up with a dog a pig, a turtle and I think it's a chipmunk. It's either a chipmunk or a squirrel, one of those little dudes. And they all have superpowers. And and they saved the Justice League they have to save the Justice League from from this guinea pig who enlists all these other guinea pig So she has an army of guinea pigs that, that fight and, and it's funny because in this part is in the trailer, but at the end towards the end, the animals all kind of link up with a member of the Justice League and all that's left is the dog. His name is Ace and Batman and Batman goes bad that works alone, except for Robin and Alfred and Commissioner Gordon and my IT team. And whoever Morgan Freeman played. He's like, let's do all these people that he needs to do his operation. It's really kind of funny. But anyway, Batman has Keanu Reeves as well. And Krypto is the rock. It's Dwayne Johnson. And Ace Ace is Kevin Hart which is funny because those two have a chemistry which you wouldn't expect from the rock and Kevin Hart but they really do

Jonathan Correia:

well they've been at a few movies together.

James Jay Edwards:

A lot of they've been in I like like four or five I think but yeah,

Jonathan Correia:

and that was just telling someone the other day because they were like oh what do you think of The Batman? I was like yeah, I like the Batman don't get me wrong I like it but like you know we don't always have to have dark and brooding like the the whole film like we can like I like fun Batman, you know, I liked the Schumacher films i i loved Lego Batman, I think Lego Batman had one of the best Joker Batman relationships of any of the movies. And you know I kind of I you know, it's okay to do that once in a while. Not everything needs to be fucking you know, like Todd Phillips Joker or the Batman all the time. Like let's have some goofiness.

James Jay Edwards:

You should see DC League of super pets them because I think it's one of the same guys who did Lego Batman.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, I'll I'll check it out. But

James Jay Edwards:

it's it's a pretty fun movie.

Jonathan Correia:

I have trouble going to the cinemas for kids movies in general just but let alone during a pandemic so I'll catch it a video you

James Jay Edwards:

can wait for a video at home This isn't like a spectacle movie like like Nope, the one that might be worth the theater is the other one that I've seen God we got our segways rule Bullet Train Did you guys see Bullet Train?

Jacob Davidson:

No.

James Jay Edwards:

This one isn't really horror, but it is about like, you know a half a dozen assassins on a on a train so it's it's kind of like it's kind of like a Tarantino narrative with like Jackie Chan comedic action. But it's stylized kind of like a Guy Ritchie or Danny Boyle movie. You know, it's real. It's it's just hyper stylized. Brad Pitt is in it. And the funny thing is, it's weird to say this but Brad Pitt's not even the biggest name in it. But it's directed by the guy who did John Wick and Atomic Blonde and also Deadpool 2. And that kind of gives you an idea of what I'm talking about, like not the biggest name in it. They're a little literally less than a scene like just a few second cameos kind of like Brad Pitt's and Deadpool 2, where, where they're like bigger names that pop into this movie. It's pretty, it's pretty freakin funny.

Jonathan Correia:

That camera just pants and Laurence Olivier is just sitting there in a boxcar drinking tea, and it

James Jay Edwards:

just keeps going. Not quite that bad. But there it's just just see it and actually knowing that Brad Pitt did this and Deadpool might kind of tip your hand on, you know, one of the people who does it in this but But yeah, basically, there's two assassins who are tasked with bringing this this big crime boss's son and this silver case full of ransom to him. And then there's a bunch of other people on this train who either want the case or just want revenge on this guy. So you know, all their paths cross and they all fight and but what's funny is that Brad Pitt's character, his name is Ladybug, his code name, they all have code names. And he this is his first job back and he's not really an assassin. He's a badass, but he's like a smash and grab guy. So his job is to steal the case. But he this is his first job back from he had like an emotional breakdown. So he keeps like recommending health self help books to people or like quoting his therapists to their musical issues. You know what my therapist always it's really funny to you know, to have this. It's a bit like Gross Point Blank, where, you know, John Cusack has kind of second guessing his career choice the whole time. That what it's like, but it's I mean, it's getting skewered by the critics critics are hating this movie, but I had a lot of fun with it. I mean, I thought it was I mean, people the big joke that people are saying in their reviews, which is wholly unoriginal, they're saying Bullet Train goes off the rails and you know what it does, but it's supposed to, I mean, that's the only place it can go, you know, as it you know, speeds along its way but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was fun.

Jonathan Correia:

So it wasn't a train wreck for you. Hey I should be I should be a online critic

James Jay Edwards:

you know, it's funny I maybe I'm sure someone has said that but I haven't seen that as much as I have seen the people say it's good goes off the rails. That's funny. The train.

Jonathan Correia:

I hate that God that like pullquote type of criticism where everyone's just trying to like find that one thing. I mean, we might as well name this episode Eat Prey Love, with our topic

Jacob Davidson:

like that. There was this joke on Jay Sherman, the critic where he's shown he did the same joke about Tom Cruise movie several times in a row saying that Tom Cruise is on cruise control.

Jonathan Correia:

Dude, The Critic was so ahead of its time with really one of critics because like that, it was like right around that time where we started seeing more of those, like bad take things

Jacob Davidson:

and it stinks.

Jonathan Correia:

It Stinks.

James Jay Edwards:

I actually know a critic who he's he's like that, except instead of saying it stinks. He says it sucks. But I yeah, I know a guy who who's like that. It's so funny.

Jonathan Correia:

I'm going to take this in a different direction. So I watched a Lifetime original movie the other day. Yeah, I know. We don't review those much often on this show. But

James Jay Edwards:

Because we don't watch them probably.

Jonathan Correia:

We don't really watch them. Sorry, guys. But this one, it was called I Was Lorena Bobbitt. And it's

James Jay Edwards:

Well it was so unbelievable. directed by Danishka Esterhazy who did The Banana Splits movie

Jonathan Correia:

From the man's purspective. Yeah, if you don't listen to her story, it's like, oh, man, this is insane. But I mean, time has been a bit kinder to her. And it's been it's been really interesting, because you know, Jordan Peele produced the four part Docu series on Amazon Prime back in 2019. And now lifetime made this movie in 2020. And the interesting thing and the last Slumber Party Massacre movie. And that's what about it is it's a true crime reenactment documentary movie, in that Lorena Bobbitt actually narrates it, and they have interviews with her throughout the movie,

James Jay Edwards:

the real Lorena Bobbitt?

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, it's her. She doesn't go by Lorena Bobbitt anymore. She goes by her maiden name, Lorena Gallo, I intrigued me because you know, growing up always heard the believe. And it's very interesting, because basically, the whole movie is about, it's just her going hard and talking about all the stuff that are that have what led her to that moment of what led to it which is basically just all the abuse all on so many different levels that her that John Bobbitt put stories about Lorena Bobbitt, the woman who cut off her her through. And it really drives home, especially if you were around during that time. What happened with like, the jokes, and like the fact that John Bobbitt tried to have a porn career after like, once, you know, like the actual story, you just get more and more disgusted with how we as a husband's penis, and especially in the 90s it was like it was a society reacted to it. And, you know, at the end of the day, it is it is a Lifetime original movie. So some of the acting is, you know, some of the, you know, our choices are very on that level, but the acting is actually pretty good in it, especially from the lead actress who plays Lorena in the, in the, in the, in the more reenactment parts of it. But it's a very joke. It like throughout the whole decade like it was just interesting blend of like that kind of reenactment TV, but like kind of given a better budget and more artistic choice. So it's, yeah, it's worth checking out. I mean, I'm definitely interested in seeing where this director is going because she's got these three projects under her belt that are all very like in they still make jokes about it to this day different, very interesting. But they're all TV movies. So I'd like to see what she does outside of that realm, and kind of is more unleashed, you know? Yeah, I Was Lorena Bobbitt, I think it's on sale on Vudu right now. I don't know for how long but it was like five bucks.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, no, that is very interesting. Because I do feel like, you know, especially before the internet, just there. It just so many of these types of stories. were twisted and just became like the butt of late night jokes to the point where the truth was obligated.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah. And it's messed up because because and they go into it to about like, basically, as soon as like, they both kind of recovered from that night. She kind of like withdrew because she was she was an immigrant she was she came to America when she was 18. And when the it's when the incident happened, she was only 22. And so English wasn't her first language. So they go into about how that initial interview that was used against her a lot. She didn't know how to say words like rape and stuff. So she tried to use words that she did no, which did not portray that act at all things of that nature. Or how John immediately went to the press and was just like, oh man, she's crazy. She cut off you know, and then like, just completely tried to spin it but and so when he went to trial for and they went over like all the messed up stuff with like the the court systems and everything but when he went to trial, he got acquitted and then when it was her turn, for getting charged for maiming, they, they like put them on the stand and like, instantly, like everyone went against him because he just kept lying and lying and lying on the stand. So he proved himself to be uncredible. It was that it was very, it was, again, for a Lifetime movie. It was very good. I wouldn't say I wouldn't enjoy because it's not an enjoyable like, subject matter, but it was very well done.

James Jay Edwards:

Well I remember when that happened? There was no quote "woke culture" at that point. So when the news first broke the the lines of allegiance I guess you could say were very cut and dry. Like men sympathized with John Wayne Bobbitt, and women sympathize with Lorena Bobbitt, you know, they're like, oh, good for her. And the men are like, Oh, how could she do that? Damn. But then, like you said, as the subtleties of it came to light. People were like, Oh, he kind of was a dick. You know, he kind of, you know, I mean, I don't know that. I could say anybody really deserves that. But people were, you know, even men were starting to see why she did that.

Jonathan Correia:

Well, and that's one of the good, really good things about the about the movie is they, they go into why she did that exact thing. And it's because throughout all of his abuse, and everything, it was mainly sexual assault and rape, and he kept telling her, if you leave me or do anything, I will find you and I will still have you. I will, you are mine. And so like, that was his instrument of torture. And so, in that moment, you know, she took away his his weapon of torture, which was his penis, and so like, it makes sense, you know, and I'm not saying like, I'm not going to validate anybody on anything with hurting someone else, but like, I get it, you know,

James Jay Edwards:

didn't she, like, cut it off? And then like, throw it from a car or something? Yeah. Well, I mean, like, it's kind of amazing that a they can even find it and be they could reattach it.

Jonathan Correia:

She called the cops. She called the cops and told her told them what she did and where to find it.

James Jay Edwards:

Okay, okay. So

Jonathan Correia:

because it was all a moment of like, you know, being a, you know, suffering from abuse and the PTSD from it, and like, you know, all these things, it was it was kind of like, blacking out and like, just going into autopilot, essentially. So, she kind of came to driving away and just went, Oh, shit, and like, you know, toss it out of the car. But yeah, the movie explains it very well. And the four part documentary series is also really good. So yeah, if you if you want to get the real scoop behind it all, I recommend watching both.

James Jay Edwards:

Do they show her coming out of her trance looking down and seeing like a wenis in her lap? I mean, do they actually show that scene?

Jonathan Correia:

It's the opening scene. And it's not in her lap. It's just she just had it in her hand the whole time

James Jay Edwards:

in her hand?

Jonathan Correia:

She described like, it was difficult to drive with one hand and like, it's

James Jay Edwards:

why can't I use this hand to drive? Oh, I mean, like,

Jonathan Correia:

they don't show the dismembered this the you know, the the penis because you know, it's a made for TV movie, but they do. That's true, its TV. It shows her driving frantically and then going like, and throwing it out the window, you know? And it's Yeah, and it's again, it's shot really well. So there's no like, little moments of like, Oh, hey, this is a funny thing. It's very it's yeah, it's it's very tastefully done.

Jacob Davidson:

Um, on another note, I felt like I should bring this up. But sadly, I heard the news yesterday that noted actor specific is especially in genre Clu Gulager passed away over the weekend. Rip Clu. And I was just really sad to hear and I actually hadn't seen him for a while. Because the thing was, is that he he was a repertory theater regular like I saw him all the time. Pre pandemic at like the new Beverly the Egyptian the arrow, the VISTA. Like he was everywhere. He just loved hanging out and going to the movies all the time.

Jonathan Correia:

He was one of the nicest dudes, I went to a double feature of Night of the Creeps with Return of Living Dead and he did a q&a and

Jacob Davidson:

Oh, yeah, I was there for that.

Jonathan Correia:

I guess this kind of segues because he brought this giant prop penis for some reason. I don't know why I think it was just like it was just like this thing where it's like, this is part of my bit. Like it was just like okay Clu like he was he was just such a nice and he met with everybody. He took pictures with everybody.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah,

Jonathan Correia:

I It's hard to forget that night because Clu is just such a great guy and so memorable in every role he was in.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, I heard apparently that giant Penis was a prop from some kind of stage play or something he did and he I guess he just wanted to bring it with with him as as a joke. And they really made it for a memorable q&a, I will say that he worked

Jonathan Correia:

on a thing with that involve giant penis, and he just like, immediately was like, This is gonna be my thing. Every time I go to something, I guess, and it wasn't, and I know me like it was like, you know, like, bigger than a hand like this thing was like half his size. It was it was I'm gonna find that picture because I have a picture of me and him with the penis. So I'm gonna find this picture.

James Jay Edwards:

And we're gonna I was I was it. I was picturing it, like, bigger than him. Like, like seven feet tall. So

Jonathan Correia:

half that half. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, it was like a big, like, it could sit in a in a theater seat next to him. And they would be like, at head height. Together. head height.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah. But either way, you know, it has been nice to seeing just the outpouring of love for Clu from the community from, you know, a variety of different directors and filmmakers and fans and everybody. And he lived a very full life. I mean, he, he was 94 Yeah, so yeah, I mean, it's still sad news and definitely going to rewatch some of his movies soon. Like, I've been wanting to revisit Feast for a while. He was pretty fun in that one. But yeah, hit rip clue.

James Jay Edwards:

Didn't he play the dad in Nightmare on Elm Street 2?

Jacob Davidson:

He did. Yeah, Freddy's Revenge he was the dad Yeah, he

James Jay Edwards:

was Mark Patton's dad.

Jacob Davidson:

With the exploding parrot.

James Jay Edwards:

Did this with an M80 or something. I know you Kids

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, no, it was funny seeing a pop up and a bunch of new New Line Cinema movies because also he was the chief in The Hidden.

James Jay Edwards:

He was his generations. Bill Paxton.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, pretty much have you have you guys checked out the new movie They/Them on pecan theaters? I guess it's not in theaters. I guess it went straight to Peacock.

James Jay Edwards:

Is it on paid Peacock? Or is it on any of the free tiers?

Jonathan Correia:

I don't know I signed up for the paid for Halloween Kills and kind of have just kept it for the Sanford and Son. But yeah, it's it's the story of a convert gay conversion camp. That's being run by Kevin Bacon and a few others and it's being stalked by a mysterious killer. And you can kind of tell the intention was trying to do something like like to do like an 80's slasher, but with like the, like seriousness of like, Get out or something and talking about you know, LGBTQ issues with a serious No, and it doesn't quite work. The script is a bit is very rough. The scenes are just very long. The actors are really great. I gotta say that that there's no say how's

James Jay Edwards:

Kevin Bacon? He seems he was alright. He's

Jonathan Correia:

just wasn't given much. The problem with the the problem with the movies, it focuses a bit too much on the

Jacob Davidson:

that's unfortunate. drama aspects of things, and the scenes with it are just so long

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah. So like, They/Them went straight to that it kind of forgets. I think this one review by Brian Taylor ego on Roger ebert.com. I think he kind of said it best when he said that it's a baffling production that seems almost frightened of its own rich ideas and unwilling to tie them to decades of slasher picks that played fast and loose with gender stereotypes and sexuality. And I think I think that nails it on the head because like, you're sitting there and you're like, this is like a campground slasher film, but almost nothing happens with that. And like, there's little moments where it kind of feels like the the filmmakers were like, Oh, shit, yeah, we gotta throw in something a little spooky right here. And they kind of do. And it's got a very low body count, which is, which is fine. You don't need to have a high body count, but like, it all just kind of happens at once. And there's it's just very kind of confusing what they're trying to do. And I kind of wish that they had embraced more of that, like, kind of campy 80's slasher camp side of it. I mean, it didn't even have to be can't be just, I don't know, it kind of for you just kind of feel like it kind of forgot that it was you know, a horror movie throughout a lot of it. And in even when they were talking about a lot, a lot about like LGBTQ and gender, you know, issues that it wasn't it didn't come from like the source like it was it felt like it was it was trying to explain a lot of stuff to like, a Cis audience and I think Kay, who you know, from the Salem Horror fest Festival, I think she nailed it on the head with that to saying that it was the Well for Cisist, this audience, you know, didn't really explore that. So I, you know, I really, really, really wanted to like this movie, but it just, it just kind of dropped streaming. But you know what else went straight to streaming? the ball quite a bit. And, you know, I hope this doesn't, you know, just because I hope this doesn't stop these type of conversations or, you know, people taking on, you know, hey, let's do a slasher film, but do it serious and actually talk about real issues and stuff. Like, I hope it doesn't stop any buddy from making that movie again, you know, but this one just kind of didn't land so I can understand why it went straight to like Peacock, you know, That was actually really fucking good. Oh, segue time into our main point. We're so good with segways today, guys, I'm so

James Jay Edwards:

Thats our thing. I'm gonna throw it out proud of us. there. Our trademark

Jonathan Correia:

segue guys are just so good at them. Mostly because we keep saying that we're good at them. You know, we keep saying it. It'll be true.

James Jay Edwards:

Eventually. We believe it.

Jonathan Correia:

But prey came out this week. Yeah, the latest Predator movie. And I know we all have seen that. And I don't know about you guys. But I've been just like sneaking in viewings of Predator movies all week as

James Jay Edwards:

I went back and revisited Predator 2, because you had said that you had rewatched it? I put it on while I was working? Probably like how you did? And yeah, you're right. That's amazing. But we'll get to that. Let's talk about

Jonathan Correia:

let's talk about Prey because I was lucky enough to see it at the Aero theater. It was actually the last time that they were showing it in a theatrical in a theater, because I guess they showed it in San Diego and advanced screenings. And then here in LA,

James Jay Edwards:

they showed it at Comic Con.

Jonathan Correia:

And they showed a that's where they showed at San Diego.

James Jay Edwards:

Yeah, that's where they showed it down here. Yeah,

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah. And then, and we saw it with the with the Comanche version. So it was dubbed over in Comanche, which is an option that's available on Hulu, which is incredible, because it's the first film feature length to actually be offered income and Native American on release.

James Jay Edwards:

It's funny, because I, I got a screening link of it about maybe a week and a half ago. And when I watched it, the screening link is only the English version. And everything else is so screen accurate. I mean, actually got Native American actors, the costuming, the makeup, everything is just completely, it's authentic. And then they're speaking English. And I'm like, and the Comanche did eventually learn English, but not for another 200 years. So I'm so I'm like, I get it. This is an action movie. But this is kind of taken. I mean, when one of the Comanche says to the rest of his party, I'm gonna go take a squat. Yeah, you're like you. So I, and then I heard about the Comanche thing. So I was really happy. I'm I mean, you know, I was like, you can choose on Hulu, which way you want to watch. So if you do just want to enjoy the action, great, but I think I think it is important that they did give it a Comanche language released, because everything else is so authentic. Yeah. And

Jonathan Correia:

that was, that was an intentional choice, That was the thing I was out of town so I wasn't able to see it because they wanted to make it accessible to you know, to more people. And they actually had the actors do their own dubbing, theatrically. But God I wish I could. I watched it last night. from as far as I know, and which so it's, it's their actual And ya know, it's just such a cinematic movie and I heard so voices, they're just speaking Comanche with it. And the dubbing is really good too. It took me a little bit at the beginning, just because they are speaking English. So my mind was much about the screening and that you know, just the crowd lip readding. And while tried to do subtitles, so like, for two minutes, it was like a little off, but I got very used to it very quickly. But yeah, I mean, like everyone on screen was of Native American descent, the some of the producers were as well so they were very, very adamant about being true to that. And it's incredible because they they were able to pull that off while still making a fucking Predator movie that was awesome. Like that balancing act it needs to be applauded, that they could do something that was so authentic and as close as they possibly could while still working in and delivering on all the great aspects of of a Predator movie. And I gotta say, hearing that iconic line of if it bleeds we can kill in Commanche and and hearing that in a crowd because like the crowd was all Predator fans, everyone was just in it cheering and screaming and um, and it's like, that saddens me but I'm also really excited that so many more people are gonna be able to see this film because it is on streaming and it is more accessible. You know? last there should at some of the fight scenes, which I totally get, and I really wish I could see it, you know, with a big crowd and people cheering and losing it over those fights. And yeah, and I really do appreciate the Comanche dubbing I watched that version first. Because I feel like it does make it feel more authentic. And in that way, it really brings you more into the story rather than having them speak English, although I will also watch that version as well to compare. But yeah, oh, you know, I just gotta say, but we've the hype, this is one of the best predator sequels of the ball. Yeah, and that's what's so cool about the Predator movies as like a franchise is like they were down, they just been one in almost every decade for the last four decades. And each one reflects, you know, action films of that time. And I feel like this one is very reflective of people wanting to do, like, more dramatic newness or more drama, or more, you know, things with action that just haven't cool action sequences. There were some times in pray. Like, my, my one critique was like, the kind of heart, you know, constantly going on about, like, how the tribe and everyone was like, no, because you're your girl, you can't do this, like, there was a few moments where it's like, Alright, you're being maybe a little bit over the top with it. And I don't know what the dynamics of like, you know, the society that society was at that time. But I it's a very small critique, very, on my end, at least with that. Other than that, it's just a hell of a fun movie.

Jacob Davidson:

Oh, definitely, definitely.

James Jay Edwards:

One of my biggest takeaways is, the bear holds its own it. It's in the trailer and the commercial. So you can so you can it's no big secret that the predator fights a bear. And the bear is actually getting the upper hand for a while. Yeah, in fact, the predator kind of cheats by using his weapons against the bear. I'm gonna go out there and say,

Jacob Davidson:

Well, you know that thems just the predator rules, I guess. But I did find that interesting, because there is kind of a crescendo to it. Because you know, as when the predator arrives, he sees a mouse, and then the snake eats the mouse. And then the predator kills the snake. And then the A wolf attacks a predator, predator attacks the wolf. And then you go to the bear, and then that's when the predator first encounters our lead character Naro. So it's like it's climbing up the food chain as it were. Well, that's what

James Jay Edwards:

they're saying. This was the first hunt, I guess they say the first one on Earth. So maybe he was feeling out trying to find trying to find the apex predator? Yeah. Which is really cool. Well, that's what the predator would

Jonathan Correia:

do. Yeah. And they reflect that also in the look of the predator because he doesn't have the typical like, metal mask. It's, it looks more like bone, but it still has a lot of that technology, and whatnot in it. I think I read somewhere that someone was saying that that predator is from like, the southern tribe of predators or what have you, because like, you know, within, throughout the movies, we learned that there's different tribes, there's different types of predators. There's, you know, there's a whole hierarchy within the predator world, which I always love about predators, like they will just offhand be like, oh, yeah, this is a thing about the mythos. And just like, keep going, like, they're not going to be like, Okay, so this type of predators here and this type of predators, it's just like, oh, this is a different predator from a different thing. And it's just like, cool. Let's keep going.

James Jay Edwards:

Make it up as they go along the world building in the predator

Jonathan Correia:

movies. And that's, we're gonna get to talking about the other predator movies, but the world building is one of the reasons why I love Predator 2, so goddamn much. And Did you guys catch the Predator 2 reference in prey?

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah.

Jonathan Correia:

Oh, dude, I flipped the fuck out in the theater. I because I just watched predator two earlier in the day when that reference came up, I lost it. I was like, Yeah,

Jacob Davidson:

special note, people should stay and watch through the credits, there's a bit of an animated sequence that kind of connects things. So just keep an eye out for that. But yeah, I lost it when I saw that.

Jonathan Correia:

So enough about Prey. Let's talk about Predator as a whole because as I keep mentioning, a there's there's been a movie almost every decade, we have five within the main franchise and then two with the AVP movies. I don't know how much we want to get into AP. I don't know how you guys feel about those movies, but it kind

James Jay Edwards:

of flips the script and makes the the predator the hero. So which was they're not quite as effective, although I get it because the alien is kind of a bigger dick than the predator. But I mean,

Jonathan Correia:

especially, you know, because Giger created it. You know, that's kind of almost literal. I mean,

Jacob Davidson:

let's let's start at the beginning with the original og 1987 John McTiernan Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers and, you know, just that that's that cast and just what what an impact it must have made because, you know, just like, like Jonathan was saying earlier, you know, just that he Predator movie is kind of a reflection of genre at its time like you know, that was post Commando Arnold and you know like that in the late 80s was you know, kind of the peak of action. Explosive big budget cinema.

James Jay Edwards:

Rambo days.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, so you know you bet so you basically got all these action stars and drop them in the jungle and it seems like a typical action movie with Arnold and these special forces guys fighting rebels or something. And then fucking alien man

James Jay Edwards:

Two future governors and Jesse The Body

Jonathan Correia:

and that was what was so cool about the original Predator movie is they literally got the biggest motherfucking dudes ever like Schwarzenegger is as big as Ventura is at his biggest Carl my man Carl Weathers is just beefy as fuck and like they showcases that iconic handshake.

Jacob Davidson:

You son of a bitch

James Jay Edwards:

you Shudder the Burj Pooh is The Expendables of its time.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, dude. And like so you take all these guys that are fucking huge. And you're like, these guys are unstoppable look up big they are with their guns and then all sudden, this invisible force just like completely fucks them up and you're just like, holy crap. And the effects are just incredible when Carl Weathers loses his arm. I mean, it's iconic for a reason. And like the one liners in it are just phenomenal. I mean, come on Jesse Ventura, and the helicopter going like, Fuck you guys. I'm gonna Tyrannosaurus sex. Like, what the fuck does that mean?

Jacob Davidson:

I think he said sexual Tyrannosaurus

Jonathan Correia:

to actual Tyrannosaurus. Yeah.

James Jay Edwards:

Well, like you said, the effects there, when you think of the Predator movies, and the every movie has completely ridden these two effects into the ground, but one is the heat vision effect that you see. And the other is that cloaking the light bending, you know, camouflaging. And that's one that every you know, every Predator movie has leaned heavily on both of those. But they're both so groundbreaking, especially for 1987.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, now we all know Predator was a masterpiece. But I want to talk more about Predator 2 because as growing up everyone hated Predator 2. I don't know why. Here's the thing

James Jay Edwards:

about predator two. It's his 1990. So it was a couple years before the LA riots. But it opens basically with the freakin LA Riots. I mean, the LA riots, the LA riots weren't quite that machine gunning, you know, but it opens basically with this dystopian LA, where it's being fought over by drug gangs and the police.

Jonathan Correia:

Basically how Fox News portrays LA on a regular basis.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah. So and it was set in 1997. So like that, they were just like, this is the vision of the future.

Jonathan Correia:

That's right. Yeah. Cuz they were like, oh, yeah, it's gonna get so bad. It's gonna get to this point.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, just the funniest thing to me those epic game wars between, I believe the Jamaicans and the Colombians?

James Jay Edwards:

Yes. It was Yeah. Because there was voodoo happened in front. Oh, yeah.

Jonathan Correia:

Just such hamfisted I did like that. A lot of like the Jamaican guys were just like, Yeah, we don't actually believe in voodoo, but it's a great scare tactic. Yeah, like they felt they fully admit.

Jacob Davidson:

Although I gotta say though, King Willie. Even though the Jamaican crime boss even though he's in there very briefly did give a very memorable appearance.

Jonathan Correia:

Oh, yeah. I think one of the main critiques is everyone kind of went Wait, we went from these beefy, giant dudes to Danny Glover. Which first of all, Danny Glover is ripped in that fucking movie. I will

Jacob Davidson:

Oh, yeah.

Jonathan Correia:

fight Anyone on that. Also, Danny Glover is in his late 40s. I think at this point, because it's been a he was 41 when he did Lethal Weapon, and it had been some time since then. But he was still in great shape. Dude was still fucking killing it.

James Jay Edwards:

He clearly got that movie on the coattails of Lethal Weapon because he's almost playing the same dude. Now he's

Jacob Davidson:

kind of playing like a combination of Marton and Briggs because he's professional, but also he's kind of a loose cannon. So he kind of plays both sides.

Jonathan Correia:

Well, and that's the thing is that Predator 2 is very much as we said, These movies are reflective of the action films of their times. And Predator 2 is like every action film that came out after Lethal Weapon times 10. Like there's cussing out you know, your Lieutenant or your cat or the the chief of police. There's the I don't play by the rules. There's the Don't go in there until we tell you to. I'm going in there. And then there's Bill Paxton with his weird one liners and jokes and tales and whatnot. But like, as a whole, like the action is great, Gary Busey is still weird as fuck, but awesome in it. And the best part of the movie is at the end when Danny Glover falls into the ship and there's so much world building in there because you see the other alien skulls on display with human skulls. You see the Xenomorph skull, attaching it to alien. You see that there was like a bunch of predators in there and the iconic bit of the predator of Danny Glover taking down the gun, the predator and then one of the other predators giving him a gun from 1715 Wink wink. Establishing that this is this a isn't the first time Columbia wasn't the first time. And this is definitely going to fucking happen again, which is what Danny Glover tells. I think it was Adam Baldwin.

James Jay Edwards:

He says it at the end, he says, he says I'll be ready here. Do you know you will finish this?

Jonathan Correia:

He's like, Oh, you'll get your chance.

James Jay Edwards:

Yeah. Yeah, you'll get your chance.

Jonathan Correia:

And and I thought that was the coolest thing, like, and that's, again, one of the things I really respect about the predator movies is that they don't spend a whole lot of time going like, Oh, this is their this is the predator scope. Like sometimes they do. But like, for the most part, it's like, oh, here's the setup. And it just works in the sense that these are intergalactic hunters that are and this is just how they do things. And I and that's one of the things I appreciated about Predators. The Robber Rodriguez produced one from from 2010 I believe,

Jacob Davidson:

yeah. 2010

Jonathan Correia:

that that one changed it because they're transported to another planet. We don't know if it's the it's not the predators world because they're not going to be open a hunting, you know, game on their own planet. They're gonna I think the first time we see the predator world is in AVP:R, but with Predators, they're just literally dropped into this planet. And it's different species. It's different humans from different backgrounds. You got like a Yakuza guy, you got a Colombian warlord played by Danny Trejo and

Jacob Davidson:

Walton Goggins as this crazy racist redneck convicts with a shive.

Jonathan Correia:

What was up with that? Like, he had that one bit where he showed the tattoo on his stomach, and he's like, I got a woman waiting for me back home, and they're like, Oh, who's that your wife? He's like, No, it's my sister. Like. Like, it was just such a weird movie where they were like, trying to do I think it was pre Expendables, but it was kind of like that thing, where it's like, here's a bunch of different like, action, you know, and I think what they were trying to do with predators is show like, how much because in the original creditor, it was one very specific type of action star that they had, whereas with this one, they were trying to mix it up and being like, yeah, we got we have a Yakuza action which led to an awesome sword fight scene. And Adrian Brody, who in his first like, actionable was like, again, it was there was there's always this complaint with the first three predator movies where they're like, dude, nope, they're not as beefy as Arnold. They're not as beefy as Arnold. And they don't have to be you know, yeah.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, actually, I remember an interview I think with Rodriguez where he talked about that, in that they specifically wanted somebody who wasn't you know, like all ripped and beefy like Arnold because they wanted to be like, Oh, this is like, kind of, there's just like an average soldier. There's like, kind of more like, regular soldier these days, because nobody in the army actually looks like Arnold. Really.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah. And they made the point of having it that none. Like none of these characters really did anything that made them likable. You know, like Adrian Brody's character is not a likable guy. He's kind of a bastard, you know, and they, they make that a point, like, Oh, this is why we were chosen is because we're all kind of bastards. And like, we're not going to really be missed if we get taken. But yeah, it was a fun thing. What about The Predator? That one was the one that like really divided people like people either loved it or hated it. Shane Black's the predator or say?

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, no, I mean, I found it was interesting. And you know, definitely swung for the fences. Yeah, to be honest, they didn't really like it as much as I wished I would, you know, just it I feel like it just kind of complicated things because there was this like that subplot with the soldiers, son. And also like, there's something about like the predators wanting to change the climate and they put climate change. It's kind of a subplot because the predators apparently want Earth to be hotter, so it'd be easier for them to come in or something. Yeah, it just there was a lot going on. And like I heard that there was some meddling and rewrites thrown in so I kind of wish that we had gotten Shane Black and Fred Decker's original vision.

James Jay Edwards:

Yeah, it feels like like you said, it's kind of a mess story wise. So it feels like there was some studio interference that studio interference I don't think is ever good.

Jonathan Correia:

No, but I mean, as a whole I mean, again, the world building of oh wait no, these predators have been like genetically modifying themselves or trying to become there they're not only hunting the best and adjusting their weapons and everything. They're genetically modifying themselves to be better and that like the traitor predator was part had like human DNA in it, you know? And then you get like the really big motherfucker that comes in who was just like there to just like, be the apex about There was like fun stuff with that I really dug what they did with the with what they dubbed themselves the loonies and all the soldiers that you know, had PTSD and various you know, things of that nature I thought they did a pretty decent job of like respecting that but also like giving them their moments, you know, of being these you know, suppose a broken characters, and they kind of rally to kind of come together one more time. But yeah, the father son aspect was a bit ham fisted. But again, I'm a sucker for world building. So

Jacob Davidson:

all this stuff about predator was great. Oh, and also particularly highlight was Keegan Michael Key. Like he he was definitely, definitely one of the more fun characters and also he blew me away because I, they did a panel at San Diego Comic Con and Keegan Michael Key showed that what a huge predator fan he is, because he was just dropping like all this terminology and lore. Like he was also using like the predator species named the Yaksha. And, you know, that just makes me think like, if they make another Predator movie in the future, they they should let him be in it again, or at least co write it because he's definitely a fan.

James Jay Edwards:

My favorite part of the of The Predator was the predators hunting dogs. Oh, yeah. Remember those

Jonathan Correia:

the whole bit where they like, shoot it in the head, and it's basically lobotomized. And it just becomes like a dog dog was just like such a weird, there's so many there's so many. K Sterling was phenomenal as like the human antagonist in it with his random like one liners like that dude should have had way more screen time because he because he was like the leader of like, stargazers. And he gets having all these like great bits, where he's just like, yeah, we call it the predator. They're like, Yeah, but what does that make more of a hunter? Yeah, but it sounds cooler. They harp on that so much in The Predator about like, how The Predator was mislabeled from the beginning.

Jacob Davidson:

But pretty much. And I also love that they brought Jake Busey in as like, the government science guy, and he's supposed to be the son of Gary Busey, his character from Predator too. So like, they're just kind of connecting all the threads.

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah. I, I love the predator movies. And I gotta say, I, I kind of, it's kind of like what I said, when we talked about Scream a few episodes ago, like, I'm, like, as much as I want like a Predator movie to come out every year. I kind of really like them coming out almost once a decade, you know, I don't they're not as meta or making commentary as much on like, the world or what what's happening with the genre at the time, but they are truly a reflection of action films at the time. And it's, it's really cool seeing like, how many different filmmakers are taking on this franchise and putting their own spin on it, you know, Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod and Nimrod Attell, were put a cool spin on with Predators. And, you know, we all love Predator 2. And, you know, there's definitely students studio interference is definitely a huge part in a lot of these, especially with the AVP movies, you know, with having multiple endings, or I think the directors have stated like, they didn't mean for our AVP: R to be as dark as it was. And it was like the studio just not having that much faith, you know, in some of the, like, CGI and everything, but I mean, you know, I just, I just want more predator movies, and I want them to come out more frequently, but I just love the they're just so much fun. You know, I think I said it like you can, there's no such thing as a bad Predator movie, only bad AVP movies, but even those are fun as hell.

James Jay Edwards:

Who would you like to see director Predator movie?

Jacob Davidson:

Ooh, oh, wait. Okay, like the off the top my head, I would have to say Panos Cosmatos?

Jonathan Correia:

Of course.

Jacob Davidson:

It was. I mean, it was the first one to come to mind. But it would be interesting to see him, you know, kind of, because he's done sci fi with Beyond the Black Rainbow. And he's done kind of action horror with Mandy. So you know, kind of doing a combination of the two, like, I would be very interested in seeing his take on kind of the Predator technology combined with like, kind of psychedelic action or, or, you know, it's kind of intensity in nature. So I don't know what time period or you know, kind of what characters he would use. But I really feel like that kind of aesthetic style with a Predator movie would be very interesting.

James Jay Edwards:

I think I want to see one by David Leitch, the guy the John Wick guy who also did Bullet Train and Deadpool 2, just because I think the stunt work he does. I mean, he's a stunt man turned filmmaker. He actually was Brad Pitt stunt double and a bunch of movies. That's how they met. So I want to see what he would do with it. And I don't know if it would it would have to be a period piece I would think because I think it would be more fun with hand to hand combat and not machine guns everywhere, you know?

Jonathan Correia:

Yeah, I would honestly really like to see A So you want to see Chloe's Zhous Predator? Yeah, that would be female director do a Predator movie like Kathy Kathy Yang who did Birds of Prey, or Ori or Gina Prince who did The Old Guard. Do you know? Like, I'd like to see like a female a more of a because we have that's the other thing that's really cool about the predator movies is that there's always been a strong female character who wasn't like your typical like female and distress like they were always on that page whether it was Olivia Hmong in the predator, or the blanking on names but Predator 2 had another one where she was very much bred lizard made a predator to was trying to be Aliens so fucking hard with its characters to the point where they got Bill Paxton in there, but I mean, I think I think it's time to give it to a female director because, you know, while this franchise always had one, like one strong female character, it's always ever been one, you know, and almost every movie, it's always just been the one. And you know, I think Amber Midthunder was fucking phenomenal as Naro in Prey and it was great to finally see, like, a strong female character not be secondary to a big beefy boy, you know, and having them take the lead. I mean, AVP did that too. They did have a strong female character in that. But I don't know I would just really like to see, you know, especially Kathy Yang. She did such a great job with Birds of Prey. I'd love to see that type of like, crazy energy be brought to bear because that franchise is fucking nuts. fun to shoot. When ran sees predator there that's the one I want to see Lynn Ramsay do Predator

Jacob Davidson:

a Karyn Kusama is Pierre Kosala. Do Yeah.

Jonathan Correia:

Kusama would be a fucking awesome Predator director. Although Lynn Ramsay. I mean, she didn't show a lot of action in the Joaquin Phoenix movie.

James Jay Edwards:

You Were Never Really Here.

Jonathan Correia:

There we go. I was like, fuck, there's a lot of words in the title I forget. So. So but like you have to see the action. So I don't I don't know about limb Mary Ramsay. Plus, I need her to keep doing her original stuff there her shirts phenomenal. But like Yeah, dude, I yeah, I think that'd be great.

James Jay Edwards:

Chloe Zhou. took a step towards it with the eternal so maybe that would be a that would be a good choice.

Jonathan Correia:

That would be dope. But yeah, I think you guys nailed it with Karyn Kusama. Like she would be after Destroyer and all that like oh man, I'm ready for it. i Yes. Give me Give me characters out presents. You know, what would the next title be? Like?

Jacob Davidson:

I'm gonna say well, yeah, well, let's see. We've got Predator, Predator 2, Predators, Prey, The Predator,

James Jay Edwards:

The Prey,

Jacob Davidson:

apex predator?

James Jay Edwards:

apex predator.

Jonathan Correia:

Or just Apex i Don't Know

Jacob Davidson:

our maybe if they do a few female predator predator tricks? Yeah, not sure in the scientific terminology.

James Jay Edwards:

I think predator can be male or female though. I mean, the word predator I mean you don't hear them say no, no, you're right you're with like a lion or a bear or something.

Jonathan Correia:

Now now that we have ideal directors, WHEN do you want a predator because prey opens up the door to be able to take place anytime? Oh, yeah. What would be like what what what Who do you want basically what historical figure or historical time period Do you want a predator to be running around?

James Jay Edwards:

I want to see King Arthur's Knights take on a Predator.

Jacob Davidson:

Oh, noes.

Jonathan Correia:

That'd be fucking tight.

Jacob Davidson:

It's the I would like to see a predator in World War One. Just because it you know, like just imagine a predator you know, like going through the trenches in no man's land.

Jonathan Correia:

That would be Tight with the cloaking. And

James Jay Edwards:

both sides would think that the that it was an agent of the other side.

Jacob Davidson:

Yeah, so it's like Paths of Glory. And then there's a Predator. That would be

Jonathan Correia:

fucking sick.

James Jay Edwards:

That would be good.

Jonathan Correia:

I want because it was teased so much in the movies, especially in Predators, but I want a samurai Predator movie, I want feudal Japan. Samurai because because it remember predators, Laurence Fishburne character had like a Samurai Helmet that he modified it to have like a predator mask on the front of it. And ever since between that and the scene with the predator and the Yakuza guy fighting with swords just made me like fuck, dude, I'd love to see like a Seven Samurai vs. Predator movie.

Jacob Davidson:

Or 13 Assassins and a predator. Oh man. Yeah, buddy.

James Jay Edwards:

We've given you ideas for the next three predators movies. I want to see David Leitch do King Arthur vs Predator. We need Karyn Kusama with a samurai Predator movie. And Panos Cosmatos with his World War One Predator movie. There you go. You guys are welcome.

Jonathan Correia:

I've seen panels Panos', his father directed some of the best action films of the 80s. Especially Cobra. So I mean, it says time to do a beefy boy action film. Alright, let's,

James Jay Edwards:

let's call this one in episode. Cool. So what is your favorite Predator movie? And did you guys all like The Predator better than we did? I don't know. Let us know in the in the comments or in the comments. Let us know on social media you can find us at Eye On Horror, the Twitter, the Facebook, the Instagram, we're everywhere. Our theme song is by Restless Spirits. So go give them a listen. And our artwork is by Chris Fisher. So go give him a like. And yeah, let us know what you think of the predator franchise and what you thought of prey because we all liked it. Hopefully you did, too. Yep, liked or loved. And we'll see in a couple of weeks. So for me, James Jay Edwards.
