Mike and Jay discuss Prey, which is an attempt to reboot the Predator franchise. Not to be confused with The Predator, which was an attempt to reboot the Predator franchise. Or Predators, which was an attempt to reboot the Predator franchise. Fart in a jar.

please watch and discuss Hard to Be a God (2013 film) Aleksei German
They seriously spent like 7+ minutes hyper focusing on stupid comments about women, then openly acknowledge that it's the minority of people who feel that way.
I wonder how much they get paid by Disney
A lot of neck beard rlm fans must be feeling VERY uncomfortable with this review. Maybe that is why the comment section is more toned down then usual.
Its funny how some white men cant fully understand the society of how Native Americans function.
" people don't complain about Bruce Willis taking on tanks and stuff, but they complain about a small woman defeating a predator." False. Everyone complained about Bruce Willis' insane power creep in the later die hard sequals. It's why no one liked those movies. We didn't buy an average NYC cop surfing on top of f22 raptors or whatever and jumping 100s of feet and being unharmed. The same with Tom cruise movies. If you don't establish that the character has super powers then don't show them doing super human feats. The same people who say a tiny woman fighting a predator is silly also said Bruce Willis stuff was silly
The predator landing in a country full of pacifists, would just shrug and leave, it ain't so bad, just wants to kill violent peeps;)
Is the Glenbiza making Jay big and Mike small?
Aubrey Plaza was in this??? Holy shit!!! I gotta go guys!!! See you later.
I love their place but whats with the small TV?
I like the Civil War idea. But it should be a dark ending, where the two armies can't work together and the Predator wipes them all out. A horror franchise needs a dark ending to keep you guessing in future installments.

the adverts write themselves honestly.
She did, however, beat up a group of men two seperate times and only lost when – after taking a lot of hits from her – they ganged up on her. Not sure if this was 'girls get it done' or the omnipresent curse of the badass in so many Hollywood movies these days. However, had they cast an actress that seemed a little more like a tough little fighter, I would've been in for the ride. It also never felt to me like she was really messing up and learning in the process, it felt more like just bad luck was keeping her from reaping the benefits. She wounds the lion instead of falling Prey to her naivitee and barely surviving. She does not face her own unhealthy pride anywhere in the story, i never felt like i was witnessing her having a profound learning experience. It was just a pretty flat character a little too strong for what she pulled of. Just imagine Timothy Chalamet in the role beating up the french poachers. Its a matter of credibility, not gender.
Fun Fact: 13th Warrior is based on a Michael Crichton novel called Eaters of the Dead. It was the mid-90’s when Hollywood lost their minds with all the loot Jurassic Park raked in. Congo is amazing schlock. Sphere is meh. Disclosure has that hysterical virtual-reality sexual harassment climax (no pun intended).
I think my problem with the young woman protagonist who is underestimated and has to prove herself while defying traditional gender roles is it's an overused trope at this point that has become cliched, just like how the buff, hyper masculine over the top action star trope became cliched. I've seen this before and I'm bored of it.
I can finally tell people "my" opinion!
So, she is norwegian then. Why is she called a native? Dont understand that stuff, are we not all abit mixed? Actually we are all african?.. Funny how identity is such a thing these days. Anyways, I did not like her caracter. Movie could have been good, without the feminist jabs at males, and better writing. Should have seen less of the predator too.
I love how literally anything as soon as a woman is involved immediately becomes politics.
Women = Politics. Huh, maybe it'd be better if more women were in politics in general.
I don't know why Mike and Jay are Mr. Plinkettos now and why Mr. Plank is Mike and Jays now, but, quite frankly, I don't care. I know I'll love it either way. I watch maybe every 8th Marvel property at a time and I just sort of catch up during it. More time efficient that way…
The Comanche dub version ain’t bad tho
Good film and good review. Continue to love the RLM dudes.
Here's my pitch. The famous Roman defeat by Germans in the northern forest, turns out it was predators, and the movie is Roman Legion and Germanic warriors in an uneasy truce for survival.
Cowboys vs aliens vs predators vs indians vs Jason vs Freddie vs kramer vs kramer vs tekken
I feel like people don't know what a Mary Sue is anymore and is just using it as a blanket statement for "woman bad." I feel like the movie was small enough in scope that the fight was pretty believable. I think the criticism should be the convenience of circumstances in which she finds herself close to death and gets whisked away somehow. But then again, the entire thing about how "a woman wouldn't be able to best The Predator because blah blah blah not strong enough" was literally the entire film's message about how no one was taking Naru seriously as a threat and would just beat her up, knock her out, or just walk away from her. Her tribe's hunters did it, the trappers did it, and the predator did it. And they all died lol
Wait, arnold did get in a fist fight with the predator, and got his ass whooped đŸ˜‚đŸ˜‚
No no, the predator doesn't walk past her because she was the prey, he walks past her because she had eaten the plant that lowered her body temperature (which was established earlier when she gives it to the injured tribesman, and later the french guy that spoke her language) so it couldn't see her with its thermal vision schtick.
Mike saying "schock" is his proof of life on every video.
id just like to point out that calling it a "proto-predator" wouldn't be right because they live so long that the feral predator would likely be alive today if he didn't die in the movie.
Idk about anyone else, but Predator: Phone Home sounds like the best movie idea since Big Trouble in Little China.
I think they missed the fact that her brother (probably) didn't kill the lion. Right before she falls, she slams her spear into its side. It's a very short and dark scene so it was easily missed.
My problem with it is the over powered natives. It wasn't just her, the brother was also able to do super-human feats. The original Predator only had 1 scene I could think of that isn't physically possible and that was the "stick around" part. Which to be fair, I would have accepted a cheesy one liner scene from her too if they kept the rest reasonable. That and the predator having a case of the dumbs. You're telling me he sees his own targeting sights and doesn't think, hmmm maybe I should move?
Tom Cruise was a terrible example considering they always put out videos of him doing his own stunts so you actually believe he can do what he is doing in his movies
You guys do such a good job breaking down movies! I love these semi-serious takes, such great perspectives! I think a Predator movie against Samurai would be terrific, Japan even has some great heat in the summer so it fits with the Predator liking only really hot climates.
rlm pretending to be above the culture war is cringe
This movie is basically a fan film with some good kills and decent acting.
in 'E.T. v Predator' ya gotta have the recording of the kid saying "Want some candy?" and have the predator vision analyzing the Reese's Pieces.
Remember when Mike didn't like the political pandering in Avatar, of all movies. Those were the days
I did complain when Tom Cruise and his foe were smashing through concrete and breaking the support posts rather than smashing their bones. So, I guess I am that one guy who complains when men appear superhuman in action movies.
Meh, mediocre movie and also quite woke yes, though i suppose it's not as bad as some stuff out there in that reguard? The whole sub-story line about a female Indian wanting to be a hunter against the better judgement of the other Indians was stupid and of course all the French people HAD to portrayed as ogres. Couldn't be any other way because white people bad, right?
Other than that, i didn't like the CGI, i didn't like the low tech inept predator, and i didn't like the Indians jumping around like Legolas. It's amazing just how grounded in reality the original was compared to this kiddie video game stuff we have in movies nowadays, including this one.
Ho well, will probably be forgotten in a few weeks.
My ranking of the Predator series so far remains: Predator 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Predator 2 > nothing, because anything after that is worthless.
It’s time to put Mike in the home.
Every time I see clips from ‘the Predator’ I can’t believe it’s a real movie that actually exists.
