Ruuuuuunnnnn! Get to zah podcaaaahhhhst! Because we've got ourselves a special guest! Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert joins the Nextlander crew as we introduce Brad to an all-time action classic in 1987's Predator!


NOTE: One of our individual audio tracks got messed up in this recording, so this was edited using the master mix with everyone's tracks. It all sounds just fine, but wanted to give the heads-up in case anyone noticed a difference. Enjoy!
