Ep 210: “Predator”

October 18, 2022

We target Arnold Schwarzenegger’s regular “Predator” and discuss:


  • Cinematography, framing bodybuilders;
  • Predator fun facts;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.

This story’s gonna grab people. It’s about this guy, he’s crazy about this girl, but he likes to wear dresses. Should he tell her? Should he not tell her? He’s torn, Georgie. This is drama. – Ed Wood
