Six Degrees Of Schwarzenegger

In Episode 7 of our PREDATOR breakdown, Mike and Kevin are joined once again by special guest Jonny Velasquez. Listen to us talk about Jonny’s Predator student films, nervous ticks, Predator’s questionable scream, Mac and Dillon’s strange bond, the Ten Predator Commandments, and just what are the lyrics to “Long Tall Sally” anyway? (HINT: it’s got nothing to do with the Chinese) This episode covers 01:03:16 - 01:14:08, Dutch using himself as bait, Predator nearly trapped, Poncho eating it, Mac fully losing his mind, and Dillon coming face to face with Predator.

In Episode 6 of our deconstruction of 1987’s PREDATOR, we get into the Predator’s fashion (spoiler alert: FISHNETS!), self-administered first aid, alien foreshadowing, wild boars, the best line in the movie, booby traps, and big sweaty muscles. This episode covers 00:53:09 - 01:03:15, Predator nursing his wound, Mac mourning Blain, the wild boar crashing camp, the truth about the Predator, and the crew building boobytraps.

In Episode 5 of our breakdown of PREDATOR, we’re joined by special guest and PREDATOR fanatic Sam Krumov. Listen as we discuss Soviet Bulgaria, the strongest man in the world, Arnold’s acting chops, snake wranglers, and plasma cannons. This episode covers 00:42:16 - 00:53:08, the group searching for Hawkins, the death of Blain, the squad doing a little deforestation, and Mac bidding Blain farewell.

In Episode 4 of our breakdown of PREDATOR, special guest star and PREDATOR superfan Jonny Velasquez joins us as we discuss the convergence of baby oil, turkey calls, “broke dick dogs,” and the relationship between PREDATOR, Jaws, and Alfred Hitchcock. And who better represents the alpha dog: Schwarzenegger or Predator? This episode covers 00:30:35 - 00:42:15, the squad plus Anna leaving the palapa, Mac saving Dillon from a scorpion, Predator closing in, and the death of Hawkins.

In the 3rd installment of our PREDATOR breakdown, Kevin and Mike discuss Sven-Ole Thorsen, deer ticks, where the hell is Poncho?, cartoon violence, and the age old question “when is it ok to smash a woman in the face with the butt of your gun?” This episode covers 00:20:21 - 00:30:34, Dutch and company finding the guerilla base, the palapa battle, and Dutch and Dillon face off over Dillon’s true motivations.

In Episode 2 of our breakdown of PREDATOR, we’re going to tell you more than you ever thought you wanted to hear about grappling hooks, bird kicking, and sucking water out of vines. And is it racist to make the Native American character the tracker? This episode covers 00:10:25 - 00:20:20, the squad finding the downed helicopter, a grisly discovery, the introduction of the movie’s most famous gun, and the first Predator POV.

Mike and Kevin take on the 1987 movie PREDATOR, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by John McTiernan. In Episode 1 we talk about arm wrestling (how could we not?), mysterious spacecrafts, tracksuits, sexual tyrannosauruses, and Little Richard, among other things. Oh, and exactly what genre is Predator anyway? This episode covers 00:00:01 - 00:10:24.
