Meanwhile, Matt and Diego vent their further frustrations with Ronald Reagan and the corporatization of nostalgia.

A film nearly 15 years in the making, the Robert Rodriguez produced PREDATORS is not nearly as insane as his original script but it still made for a pretty solid movie! Diego blows Matt's mind with a description of the first draft back in 1996. Matt tries to determine whether or not this series should even be a franchise. The audio is better now.

Note: This was recorded weeks before the Shane Black news broke. So, whoops.

Diego and Matt return to their roots with the ALIEN franchise and bring the PREDATOR along with them. Listen for a fun history lesson on Paul W.S. Anderson, the AVP comics (of which we haven't read) and lots of yelling about other things that aren't related to the series.
