Episode 33: "Predator"

GET TO THE PODCAST! This week our hosts watch Predator, the movie that sees how many muscular guys you can cram into a jungle before something explodes. It also does a great job of using the traditional slasher framework that had been growing in the 80s, but instead of having a superhuman killer descend on hapless babysitters, we’re pitting it against a batch of paramilitary soldiers. It’s an interesting look at how Hollywood views what changes when you swap the genders within a trope.
