The idea seemed like a simple one. With Rocky having defeated Russia in Rocky IV, brothers/writers Jim and John Thomas wondered what was left for him to face and conquer. You add the caveat of an alien being dropped off on earth to hunt, and you have the initial ingredients of the Predator franchise. Being kicked off by opponents Arnold Schwarzeneggar and his band of commandos in 1987, the Predator character has lived on in movies, comics, and video games. With writer/director Shane Black bringing the character back to the screen this month, I bring Matt and Alyx on to look at the cinematic incarnations of the character, and cap it off with a look at The Predator, determining whether he has been used up to its full potential.
It took twenty years for someone to step up and bring the Predator back in a film within his own franchise (let’s face it, the AvP films don’t count). That someone was Robert Rodriguez, and in 1994 he wrote a treatment that would eventually be spiced up by another team of writers and turned into 2010’s Predators. How did they do? How’s Adrien Brody in the Ah-nold role? How well did Laurence Fishbourne eat while hiding from Predators? We discuss all that and more, below.
Shane Black, as is established on the podcast, is very well liked within the Binge offices. The guy has had quite the show business career. But some people do not know that he started as a member of Dutch’s team in the original Predator, as the then up and coming writer was brought on by John McTiernan to not only play Hawkins, but also to maybe spice up the script. Cut to 2018. He is now in charge of the latest entry, The Predator. But bad press and a once again tweaked by 20th Century brass shoot has all been blamed for a decent, but not great showing by the movie at the box office. Is all of the bad press warranted? Listen below as all of us have our own opinions on it, and share whether there is a good film to be had here.
And that covers yet another retrospective here at the Aftertaste. As always, I’d like to thank my co-hosts for bringing their A-game, and be sure to listen as I give the schedule for the rest of the year. Note: people who like hearing Matt be tortured are going to love it.
On our annual meetup during Lawlapalooza 2018, Kupka, Jack and PJ sit down to talk some Bob Ross and get ready for the live show. Highlights from the weekend’s festivities, upcoming box office predictions, dissections of Bob Ross’s diverse palette and even an update on this year’s NBA Jam tournament are discussed. Happy Lawlapalooza you CS’ers!

From a career standpoint, the years 2004 – 2013 were not very kind to Keanu Reeves. Sure, The Matrix had made him very wealthy, and his internet reputation was about as good as a celebrity could get without Harvey Weinstein sized payoffs. But with the exception of 2005’s IMO underrated Constantine, Reeves was having trouble finding a new franchise to stomp out of the gate with. 47 Ronin anyone? But along came 2014, and a little movie about a guy who killed two men with a pencil.
After taking a slight sabbatical with Jurassic Park, me, Alyx, and Jack finally get back together to finish out this series of John Wick films (for now) by looking at Chapter 2. We all pretty universally loved the last film. But at the end of the last podcast, Alyx teased that he was not a big fan of this one, and he was looking forward to revisiting it so that he can form an established opinion on it. Will he still feel the same way?
Listen below to find out. And keep checking back as I have more franchises to tackle, including the rest of Jurassic Park, Mission Impossible, and a little story about a Predator in the forest.
