New Predator. New setting. New hero. Same-ish B monster movie fun? This week Mike is joined by @alexpagliuca.bsky.social to talk the (unfairly?) maligned Predator 2

I’m no athlete but we’re using the term running really really loosely here.

The Pod & The Pendulum @podandthependulum.bsky.social · Aug 28

Doing our notes for episode 300 which will be an epic top 25 countdown of the best horror movies of this century in folks. I am so lucky to work with an amazing and talented crew of people to do this show every week.

Had a great time discussing this underappreciated remake. It was definitely a breath of fresh air after the last two films we covered with great performances & a unique look for the zombies. Thanks to Tucker from the Disenfranchised pod for guest starring

In Horror Movie Visual Grammar, I dunno about anyone else, but I think I'd like to see something new in place of the ominous drone shots of driving through the country side?

I get it, I let the Kubrick heritage, but is there something new we can do?

We are not an AI friendly show. Boourns to AI.
