“Adrian Brody is too good of an actor to be in a B-movie like this.” - Andrew On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the outrageously late sequel, Predators! This is the one where a bunch of strangers get dropped into a Predators’ hunting arena planet and have to survive being hunted by our beloved, be-dreadlocked alien warriors! But, why can’t we get subtitles on these guys so we can see some Predator conversations? Why does the movie lose interest in its pretty cool original premise? Why is there an 11th hour serial killer reveal? And how do you put the great Laurence Fishburne in a two-second role like this? PLUS: Coming this fall to NBC, Predator: Cheers! Predators stars Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Danny Trejo, Louis Ozawa, Mahershala Ali, and Laurence Fishburne as Ronald Noland; directed by Nimród Antal.
