Franchise, franchise, franchise! The Predator aims to be a revival of the late 80s action franchise continued by a direct sequel, two spin-off crossovers, and a previous attempt at reigniting the hunt. Directed and co-written by Shane Black (who appeared in the first Predator), this latest imagining of the alien horrors is an action horror…comedy? On Cinemaholics this week, I discuss how that works with Will Ashton of Cinemablend and Maveryke Hines, our sound producer.
Mini reviews this week include A Simple Favor, Bojack Horseman Season 5, White Boy Rick, The Nun, Peppermint, Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4, Iron Fist Season 2, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Season 1, and The Dragon Prince Season 1.
Next week: Should we review The House with a Clock in its Walls or Life Itself? Let us know which you’d prefer in the comments!
We also have a big announcement…
From this point on, Cinemaholics is an independent podcast! We have recently parted ways with our partner website, We Got This Covered as their official podcast. Listen to this week’s episode to get the full story behind this decision and what it means for the show. We promise it’s all for the best and will lead to bigger, better directions for Cinemaholics moving forward.
