Half in the Bag: Prey

The whole ET riff at the end was delightful 😂😂😂

Tim Kocher

Is there any damnation greater than praise stemming from fatigue, apathy, and lowered expectations? The point at which you're just so utterly worn down and despirited by the end of an era than you just can't fight it anymore is the get-busy-living-or-get-busy-dying crossroads.

Another good 'un. You guys give me hope for humanity. Long Live the Middle Ground!

Actually, I was thinking more of "Inglourious Basterds" take on alternate history, which, supposedly explains the exaggerated violence in his movie universe. It also opens a whole other period piece can of worms for our space faring safari enthusiast.

Good Lord! Gigantism!

Will there be a "Mike and Jay talk about..." for friend of the show Patton Oswalt's "I Love My Dad", which I hear is amazing...? :)

Seeing giant Jay in the wheelchair reminds me of Ken Griffey Jr. near the end of ‘Homer At the Bat’ when he’s rolled in to the hospital room suffering from gigantism after overdosing on ‘Brain & Nerve Tonic’.

Tarantino "saved" Sharon Tate. Big deal. Doesn't make him a serial historical-revisionist., just a bit of fantasy. Now if a predator happened to show up at the Manson ranch pre-Tate murders, that might be entertaining. Hippies would be all "chill dude", "why you gotta be so harsh, man?", "have another hit of acid". (Whatever it is Manson hippies say.) I love the idea that these dudes have been coming to earth for many, many years. They can show up and crash all kinds of historical parties.

By Predator-logic, they should go after the iceberg and Lee Harv- I mean, whoever killed JFK (snap!), respectively. The former would be too much of a slow burn for me (pun?), but I would love to see one or more Predators running next to Kennedy's car with the security detail, Zapruder style, then switch to first person for the shot. That'd be cinema. Tarantino does this kind of shit. Get him or his non-syndicated Mexican equivalent.

Bill Wilson

Just not sure how the predator would look in a white lab coat.

“Predator vs. The Supreme Court” Tag line “This time, the Supreme Court is packin’.”

This film was surprisingly good, hope it gets a bluray release

Yeah, we had "Lady vs. Alien" 40 years ago, and I don't remember complaints about it. If we go with period pieces, I'd love to see "Predator vs. Smallpox".

Kurt

"Morbidly obese".

I enjoyed the movie a lot. I'm no fan of political statements in movies, but geez guys (the ones complaining about wokeness). Don't be the boy who cried "woke". She didn't overpower the predator, she didn't do anything that I couldn't suspend my disbelief over. She was persistent and got lucky, and the predator under-estimated her until it was too late. I bought into it. Oh and if we're talking period pieces, have the predator show up on the Titanic to pick off a few hundred doomed humans. He could dispatch the insufferable Jack Dawson, and stand at the bow of the ship with Kate Winslett. Or maybe prevent the JFK assasination. The mind boggles. Ok, time for my Adderall.

I love how you guys censored the arm dismemberment shot in one part of your video but not the other.

andrew

Great review; I thought Prey was quite good and Midthunder was excellent; she definitely needs more roles after this.

Erik Stevenson

Boner road trip movie interrupted by sci-fi horror.

Angry Badger

Romantic comedy interrupted by sci-fi horror.

Angry Badger

Don't call them fat wtf

This doesn’t have anything to do with the quality of Prey (haven’t seen it yet), but I always thought the “concept” of the original wasn’t “Alien shows up in specific period in history (Vietnam War)” but “Action movie interrupted by sci-fi horror” and I thought Predator 2 carried this forward with “Cop movie interrupted by sci-fi horror”. I kind of wish Predator movies would carry that idea forward instead of just throwing a Predator into a series of different time periods.

Kevin Smith

It's certainly the last good John McTiernan movie...

Manuel Johnen

For as completely screwed up the production of The 13th Warrior reportedly was, the end result is pretty darn good if messy, and terribly underrated.

Matthew Riley

"The 13th Warrior" is better than "Prey". A lot better.

DonMac

This isn't Predator movie is just two fat guys talking about ET and where do I get Adderall? I love you.
