On this very special episode of Not A Bomb podcast, Troy and Brad are joined by James from The Iron Sequel to discuss 1990’s action/sci-fi sequel - Predator 2. Coming three years after the iconic Predator, Predator 2 failed both financially and critically. The guys discuss everything from “what makes a good sequel”, obscenities vs. profanities, Joel Silver’s link to Ultimate Frisbee, Steven Seagal, growing third arms due to radiation poisoning, and cop movies. Ultimately, the gang decides whether or not Predator 2 is truly a bomb or one of the greatest sequels ever made!
