To conclude our Predator movie review playlist, we finish with The Predator (2018). We have a guest with us this week, Henry is back. He couldn't stay away and wanted a chance to get a huge weight off of his chest. You can find Henry on his YouTube channel, 'The Bond Geek'. Also, an honourable mention of AVPCentral.com. A very useful website built and run by Janno. Paul and Janno engaged in conversation via Instagram, which ended-up with them talking about web development. Anyway, AVPCentral.com and look for AVPCentral on Instagram ?? Paul, rants, Justin rants, and Samir saves the best till last. Join us as we talk about the utter disappointment that was, The Predator. The Predator is a 2018 American science fiction action horror film directed by Shane Black and written by Black and Fred Dekker. It is the fourth installment in the Predator franchise. Black had a supporting role in the original film, while John Davis returns as producer from the first three installments. The film takes place between the events of Predator 2 (1990) and Predators (2010). Starring Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, and Sterling K. Brown, it follows a group of PTSD-afflicted soldiers and a scientist who must team up to fight off an invading pair of Predators and discover their plans for mankind. Talks of a new Predator instalment began in June 2014, with Black being confirmed as writer and director; much of the cast signed on between October 2016 and January 2017. Filming took place in British Columbia from February to June 2017, with the climax being re-written and re-shot in July 2018 following poor test screenings. The Predator premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on September 14, 2018, by 20th Century Fox, in IMAX and Dolby Cinema, as well as standard formats. The Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus calls it "another missed opportunity". It grossed $160.5 million worldwide on a $88 million production budget, becoming the highest-grossing film in the franchise.

Get ready for a dynamic duo that's about to redefine movie reviewing. Paul and Samir's live stream of "The Equaliser" (2014) is on the horizon, and it's shaping up to be an event that's equally entertaining and baffling. Introducing Paul: a man whose love for alcohol and revenge-themed movies makes him a critical connoisseur with a thirst for justice – as long as it's served in a glass. Expect to be enthralled as he raises a toast to every street justice moment, savouring the gritty tale with the finesse of a sommelier dissecting a fine wine. Then we have Samir, the voice of peace in a world of cinematic chaos. A pacifist at heart, he's as likely to be appalled by a fight scene as he is to make a poorly-timed joke about it. Whether his humour lands or crashes spectacularly is part of the unpredictable charm that makes him an invaluable part of this dynamic duo. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa7QJihMKlY

Paul and Samir are about to embark on the most riveting live stream event of the century! Brace yourselves as these two cinematic connoisseurs, armed with their sophisticated tastes and copious amounts of wit, take on the masterful masterpiece known as "Bronson" (2008). In one corner, we have Samir, the resident lover of all things film and refined. He's got that unwavering admiration for "Bronson," like a moth drawn to a flickering prison cell lightbulb. His appreciation for the movie transcends the mundane, and his praise for the raw performances and enthralling storytelling is as predictable as a sunrise in a locked-up world. And then there's Paul, the self-proclaimed aficionado of crime and incarceration narratives. He must have been the warden's favourite at movie school with his incessant insistence on films about criminals and prison life. But hey, who needs variety when you can revel in a sea of orange jumpsuits and steel bars? But let's not forget the real star of the show – Paul's trusty drinking companion. Yes, you heard that right! As Paul graces us with his thoughts on the film, he'll also be indulging in a little liquid courage, just to keep things lively. Because nothing screams "deep and insightful film critique" like a generous swig of fermented grape juice, am I right? #Bronson #CharlieBronson #TomHardy #BritainsMostNotoriousPrisoner #Eleventy8 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCl27RikapU

Paul's pick this week. A very standout film due to its increasing tension, difficult to watch scenes, and lingering questions that remain after watching it. A worthwhile watch for everyone. Straw Dogs is a 1971 psychological thriller film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring Dustin Hoffman and Susan George. The screenplay, by Peckinpah and David Zelag Goodman, is based upon Gordon M. Williams's 1969 novel, The Siege of Trencher's Farm. The film's title derives from a discussion in the Tao Te Ching that likens people to the ancient Chinese ceremonial straw dog, being of ceremonial worth, but afterwards discarded with indifference. The film is noted for its violent concluding sequences and two complicated r*pe scenes, which were censored by numerous film rating boards. Released theatrically in the same year as A Clockwork Orange, The French Connection, and Dirty Harry, the film sparked heated controversy over a perceived increase of violence in films generally. #StrawDogs #DustinHoffman #SusanGeorge #SamPeckinpah --- https://eleventy8.com Find us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3TMUS1E Follow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/3z9ZxTr Watch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3TOGUw9 Watch on Rumble: https://bit.ly/3D3LzDt Watch on Odysee: https://bit.ly/3DkQGzF Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3CsUeAz Listen on Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3E7Fg49 Listen & Watch on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3SMOuH6 Buy Merch: https://bit.ly/3NQZ1je Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggls ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDrIOHG3Oe0
