This week, we review the 1987 sci-fi action flick, "Predator."

 - Why did Dave T. pick this?  Sadly, Dave T. passed away before our review (listen to episode #095 for details), but we honor him by still reviewing his pick.

 - How many co-stars of "Predator" ran for public office, and how many of those were actually elected?

 - Which co-host loved this movie?

 - Did any co-hosts find the movie formulaic?

 - One co-host compared this movie to the original "Alien" movie.  Did he feel "Predator" was better or worse?

 - Which co-host liked that this movie felt like a classic war movie at first?

 - Which co-host(s) cited the creature design as being a strength in the movie?

 - Which co-host compared this movie's handling of characters to "Battle: Los Angeles"?

 - Which co-host(s) appreciated the intelligence of some of the characters?  But, were characters smart enough...often enough...and consistently enough?

 - Which co-host said he could feel the testosterone in his face?  (Gross.)

 - What did Dave S.'s wife think of this movie?  (Note:  No big surprise, but this movie was not deemed kid-friendly.)

 - Which co-host felt one special effect was so bad that it made him laugh?

 - Did the Predator have too many technological advantages to still claim some sense of honor or victory from the "hunt"?

 - Were any co-hosts okay with the vulgar jokes told by Shane Black's character?

 - Which one of Dutch's defensive techniques has been scientifically disproven by several TV, YouTube, and publication sources?

 - Which cheesy visual technique in the movie was compared to the TV show "The A-Team"?

 - Which co-host thought Dutch was actually killed in the final explosion (he did watch this movie, didn't he)?

 - What is "Presidor"?

 - And, what did we all think Dave T. would have given as his rating for this movie, since it was his pick?

Listen now for the answers to these and other predacious questions.
