Ever felt baffled by a movie's choices in plot and character development? Prepare to unravel "The Predator" (2018) with Dan and Tony, as we dissect its confusing narrative and laughable inconsistencies. Join us for an episode brimming with critique and humor, where we not only question the scientist-turned-action-hero trope but also share a personal encounter with cast member Jake Busey that sheds light on Hollywood's casting conundrums.
Hollywood often leaves us puzzled with the way it handles characters and their actions. We take a magnifying glass to the bewildering character choices in "The Predator," from a Hispanic pilot's contradictory traits to the odd behavioral cues of a child genius. Also, listen in for our take on the characters' failed attempts to outwit the titular alien, leading to action scenes that'll have you questioning if the script was just a rough first draft.
We don't just stop at dismantling "The Predator" piece by piece; we also celebrate Shane Black's more successful ventures and delve into Marvel's "Echo," praising its authentic action sequences and character development. Whether you're a fan of action movies, intrigued by the realities of filmmaking, or just in need of a good laugh at some questionable cinematic decisions, this episode has something for you.
