In this episode of The Deadlights Podcast, we dive deep into the 1990 sci-fi horror sequel that brought the Predator out of the jungle and into the hot streets of Los Angeles. We break down whether this follow-up is a successful sequel or a misfire, pull back the curtain on how its explosive action sequences were made, and of course—quote some of the film’s classic one-liners.
